Tropers: Superslinger 2007
|
I really do give a flick about my sanity.
Describe superslinger2007 here:
His days were numbered in both senses of the phrase. And yet he couldn't say why.
For your own safety and the safety of others, please do not agitate superslinger2007.
A figurative Imperial With A Dark Secret, superslinger2007 may refer to the real-life person known as the user, or the online Internet persona with a Vader mask. Nevertheless, he is infamous.
The user, whose real name is Jack, has threatened to provoke the Unperson trope upon any unauthorized photos taken of him, as in the Real Life case of May 22, 2010 when he was COMPROMISED at a convention . However, he argued that being a candidist is arguably better than being an Anticitizen as there is no law enforcement going after candidists that are not paparazzi-level. Now he plans on getting some payback, and has since accepted the fact that social media has evolved.
And yet, even as he was put into a bad light himself, he wants to respect other people's personality rights. But he did start carrying around a camera in July 2010.
The Internet persona/character (type 3, and later 1, of Alter Ego Acting) was mostly an Ersatz of Darth Vader around the time of his private finalization back in late 2006-March 17, 2007, making him a Costume Copycat, and has since gotten an Expansion Pack Past-style Divergent Character Evolution, with a Mysterious Past. As he is a figurative Imperial With Many Dark Secrets, he created six Psyche-Locks (with the sixth being irregular and having the Empire emblem). An investigation was launched for yet another secret in 2010-2011. His Vader mask still remains to this day.
The persona is a living breathing Nuclear Time Bomb who has gone highly mentally unstable due to March 17, 2007, the COMPROMISE, and since. That would make him a train of thought version of a Talkative Loon.
Since the events of Payback season 1, the user and the persona are no longer on good terms with each other. On Sept. 21, 2011, the user has made effective Backlash rules, which attempt to use counter-prejudice against any agitation in the harshest way possible, as defense against bullies and as a hidden plea for help to the rest.
WARNING: ss07 the user indulges in SPOILERS for things that have not been just-released.
The persona is known for:
open/close all folders
A-G
- Aborted Arc: By the time "superslinger2007 Has Snapped" was released, the T-clone story was pretty much aborted ("To be continued... NOT.") But then it got picked up again, double-subverting To Be Continued.
- Acceptable Targets: The psychopaths since Oct. 2008. Who else? Majorly downplayed in Payback: the Otafest vlogs because the user "will not make fun of anyone's character" and is "just [there] to appreciate them".
- Accidentally Accurate: In YTP 9, four Portal turrets kill a cyberbully. At first, it's to show that Four is Death, but then there are four performing turrets in Portal 2....
- Accidental Public User Revelation / Is This Thing Still On?: Because social media has ascended to the point where people will shoot without remorse and film without regard. Even at conventions. Or so he thought at first. Payback is a respect-filled version of this. But things went From Bad To Worse in season 2!
- Actor Allusion
- It seems to be the norm since CODE RED Jun 8 2010. Jack was COMPROMISED in May 2010, with Michelle Ruff as a witness, leading to Yuki, Tsukasa, Yoko, and others showing up in CR Jun 8 and subsequent videos.
- Heck, in CODE RED, Mio acting like Seraphim becomes able to overcome the jerk Soldier. And now Kyubey's even met up with Ritsu and Kagami...
- Affectionate Parody
- After Show: Shades of this may come into play in YTP 11. Even inhibitor filler is doing this.
- Alter Ego Acting: Type 3. Eventually shifted into Type 1.
- Alternate Timeline
- The various mashups branch off canonical storylines and snarls them up into a massive mental crossover.
- The Disappearance editions of the YTP ss07 Edition episodes depict an alternate course of events.
- Anachronism Stew: "Disturbance Over A Leak" is a Roman à Clef that features an arguably alive superslinger2007 (character), representing the user. WTPF? 7 part 2 may feature items and events from across time.
- Archive Panic: The Revenge Against the Impossible Quiz study material as well as the CODE RED sub-series.
- Arc Words / Arc Number: the number 17 as well as the infamous date of March 17th. It comes up coincidentally all over the place.
- April Fools' Day:
- In 2008, the fooling was played straight as superslinger2007 allegedly joined the trend of making Tagged 5 Facts videos, but made the video a Rick Roll (as all video links on the main page had led to). He even apologized for wanting to make a Rick Roll. However, the lone third fact shown (WTPF? 6 showed the internet persona) was legitimate.
- In 2009, the fooling was averted as GLaDOS took time out from her lies to reveal superslinger2007's hideout, which is The Very Definitely Final Dungeon of WTPF? 7 which is set a few weeks earlier (March 17, 2009), and then accidentally played a voice clip spoken by the March 17th victim. Originally presented in an upside-down format compatible with the upside-down layout of the site at the time. The Rick Roll played during the opening notice, which truthfully told the viewer to make the page upside down and had text in both directions depending on if this was done.
- In 2010, the fooling was averted again as all available clues pertaining to the CODE RED investigation at the time were compiled and laid out on the screen. The Too Good to Last TEXTp "resolution" was acknowledged (but the video likely wasn't lucky enough to have been picked for it), and a similar feature for VLC Media Player was mentioned.
- In 2011, YouTube created a 1911-style viewing mode. GLaDOS, in her regular Portal 1 supercomputer form (just before her final transition into her P2 form), took some time out to feature a rough version of some clips from the upcoming CODE RED finale. The first version released that day was a silent film, in homage to the 1911 mode. A full-color and full-sound version was released at the end of the day.
- In 2012, the video was not made in homage to YouTube's prank.... See the inhibitor filler folder listing below.
- The Artifact: superslinger2007 (persona), as of CODE RED
- Artifact Title:
- Aside Glance: In CODE RED and other videos, characters ended up winking at the camera because they had a connection to the #SK09 subject.
- Autobots, Rock Out!: The final battle against the T-Clone in YTP ss07 5: The T-Clone's Last Stand.
- Author Appeal: Rotating interests/thoughts form the basis of YTP material. Lately, there's also been cases of familiarity where characters voiced by certain voice actresses appear. Then there were characters winking at the camera, which turned out to be a plot point.
- Bait the Dog: superslinger2007 the Internet persona/character.
- Beneath the Mask: A figurative mask, too.
- Berserk Button:
- ss07 (user) had a thing against fracking cameras. Stemmed from a childhood incident. Now believed to want some payback.
- GLaDOS strangely wants to be with Kagami, and would resort to anything to keep her away from Konata. Good thing she ain't as psychopathic as the psychopaths.
GLaDOS, YTP ss07 10: The Final Intimate Melancholy: Your entire life will be a mathematical error. A mathematical error I'm about to correct.
Kagami: What's that supposed to mean?!
- Big Damn Movie: WTPF? 7 and YTP 10 and 11
- Bilingual Dialogue
- Boom, Headshot: The Nerd in WTPF? 4 defeats ss07 (character) in this manner. It Makes Sense in Context.
- Brick Joke:
- In the YTP ss07 Edition series, Mario trying to stop a weird t-t-dirt shop that Luigi and Yoshi went to. Began in 3 and ended in 6.5.
- CD-i!Ganon possessing the Nerd's Mario 3 cartridge. Began in 4 and ended in 5.
- In INTERFERENCE!, the third in the YTP ss07 Interim branch, Tsukasa claims she wants 5 more minutes to rest. Haruhi phones her 4 minutes and 30 seconds later to get over, giving her 30 seconds to do so. Sure enough, she meets up with an annoyed Haruhi on time, while interrupting a Cargo Ship scene.
- Konata running into the Wham Level in Portal, causing her to lose tolerance for cake, and GLaDOS to lose tolerance of her. A bit of Murder the Hypotenuse without the murder. Began in 8 and carries over into CODE RED.
- Butterfly of Doom: Why did that renegade have to rip the cores away from the future in CODE RED?
- Call Forward: There may be a few to CODE RED in WTPF? 7 Part 2.
- Captain Ersatz: The character is one of Darth Vader, in regards to costume and Force-style abilities.
- Catch Phrase: Used to have one in 2007: "My name is superslinger2007, and I do in fact give a flick about (whatever's happening at the time)."
- Cat Girl: Payback: the Otafest vlogs season 1 features a cosplay character who isn't a guitarist. Seems important.
- Cerebus Syndrome: WTPF? series starting from 3, and carrying on to the YTP ss07 Edition! series, and then CODE RED.
- Chaotic Neutral: The persona.
- Chekhov's Gun: Some from previous videos show up in WTPF? 7.
- Haruhi's baton saber from YTP ss07 5: The T-Clone's Last Stand
- Companion Cube (and to a lesser extent, a turret), which first debuted in Starkiller Chronicle (formerly My 30th Video)
- The Curse (Bubble Bobble's One-Hit-Point Wonder factor)
- Chekhov's Gunman: In CODE RED, several characters winked at the camera, hinting at a relation or association to the #SK09 subject or the case file.
- Codename: Not for a character, but the half-Detractor Nickname "Sunny Day Disruption" was created in 2007, during a time when anime characters were not outright shown (as in, they were VCAS'd).
- Complaining about Shows You Don't Watch: A less severe variation: more like assuming things about shows ss07 hadn't really gotten into (yet). Happened a few times.
The Critic, Free Willy review : "[...]eyebrows are permanently cemented to 'douche' mode."
- Confession Cam: The point of the Revelation videos.
- Confusion Fu: The unmappable sector PF-31707, and the largely unrefined matter handled by the mental inhibitors.
- Costume Copycat: So much that the Net persona was in-universe mistaken for being Darth Vader before his/the user's move to the Internet. Real-life reasoning was that superslinger2007 the persona wasn't fully created yet, and so was deemed an alternate universe Vader (therefore an Ersatz) despite being the user's Author Avatar. However, on March 17, 2009 (WTPF? 7 setting), uninformed people have mistaken ss07 for Vader.
superslinger2007, Revenge Against the Impossible Quiz: Now don't you dare mistake me for the real Vader.
- Crap Sack World: The bullies have amassed since ss07 (character)'s final reveal at the end of his physical life. There are only a few who respect the renegade.
- Creator Breakdown COMPROMISED! on Saturday, May 22, 2010.
- Creator Killer: A planned example of this is WTPF? 7: terminal distortion - part 2, which will signal that "everything ends forever".
- The Cuckoolander Was Right
- Cute and Psycho: The Higurashi psychopaths. Who else? (Duh dun! Duh dun!*
The Joker music from The Dark Knight (including "Why So Serious?") is often used as the psychopaths' leitmotif. - Dark and Troubled Past
- ss07 sealed away his past memories sometime between his return from his failed mission to destroy the Death Star prematurely (around mid-September 2007) and November 9th, 2007, yet that day happened as it happened.
- This included a Fanon Bubble Bobble video game story (circa 2004-2005). See below.
- Fridge Brilliance: In a commentary and an annotation, ss07 stated that the CODE RED subject matter originated in October 2007, probably around the time that ss07 the character sealed his memories away (as stated in an old WTPF? 6 promo). The mental inhibitors are surely acting random and decisive.
- ss07 had six Psyche Locks. Five were on his heart. The last one was on his mind.
- A Darker Me:
- ss07 the persona to ss07 the user, but he is NOT one of THEM.
- The T-clone to ss07 the persona.
- Death Is Cheap: The YouTube Poop Theory of Death. See also First Law of Resurrection below.
- Depending on the Writer: Across the YTP series and CODE RED, GLaDOS is strangely friendly enough to the point where she herself has gotten over False Reassurances, and tries to get Kagami alone to visit her from time to time. superslinger2007 (persona)'s reality doesn't really allow this.
- Development Gag: In YTP ss07 1, there's a scene with an anthropomorphic TV from a 90's PSA. In its original release, one part is skipped entirely with no explanation. This part was added to the beginning of YTP ss07 5, and moved out and back into YTP ss07 1 in later re-releases.
- Development Hell: WTPF? 7 part 2. To a lesser extent, CODE RED Oct 25 2010 Part 2, released 5 weeks after part 1. And then comes the CODE RED finale as well, clocking in at nearly 12 months in development after its Jan. 2, 2011 setting, but a web novel has been created for it.
- Disney Villain Death: Tourettes Guy in WTPF? 4. It Makes Sense in Context, but he doesn't die.
Nerd: So I beat him but he'll be back, many times.
- Disproportionate Retribution:
- Unreleased rumors state that his hate for LHSs is connected to March 17, 2007
- Because whoever the March 17th victim is performed an LHS.
- "There is no word of superslinger2007's most liked LHS, if he even likes any LH Ss at all."
- Hen desu, Kowai desu by Mikuru, the same person/character with ss07's most hated LHS (above). It took 11 months for appeasement.
- In CODE RED Oct 25 2010 Part 1 (the Halloween Special), superslinger2007 (persona) himself says that "Smile Happy Peace ♪" is the worst LHS he has ever known. This is due to psychopathic Mood Whiplash, and the fact that a Knife (cleaver) Crazy psychopath performed it.
- In a case of Ron the Death Eater, being (evidently) against not a former villain, but a Jerkass who was never villainous in the first place on November 9th, 2007 (type 3 of What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?)
- However, now that we had the repetitive abysmal Endless Eight, that group of episodes which ss07 refused to refer to by name, and Haruhi's angry yelling at the end of 5 episodes after it, there is reason for hate to start creeping up again. Yet all that hate was processed to March 17, 2009 in a Time Screw of Time Parallels. Haruhi will once again behave in hateful ways, provoking the protagonists (especially a Nerd) to start blasting her like it was November 9th, 2007 (WTPF? 6).
- despite showing support for Imperials, all because he hates The Impossible Quiz of Doom (some Reality Subtext implied), deciding to take up shop in a prototype Super Star Destroyer and threatening to take his anger out on and thus blow up the Death Star via a Red Button he found in the prototype SSD in the year 2024 (19 years after RotS, released in the real world in 2005; this takes place one month before the events of ANH) - Canonically, he failed, of course, and helped blow up the planet Despayre instead, which he alleged to be a negative doppelganger Earth full of bullies and meanies (because the Death Star novel was unknown to ss07 the user during development).
- having an all-out grudge against a group of alleged psychopaths due to prejudice. PREJUDICE. And creating a Time Parallel: somehow tying the years 2028 and 1983 together (as RotJ, released in the real world in 1983, takes place 23 years after RotS, released in the real world in 2005), and going so far as convincing the Imperials to take the Death Star II all the way to Earth (good thing the authority wasn't aboard) and, without knowing better, every time on June 22, 2028/1983, blowing it up 8+ times in 9+ timeloops. Though it would cause a complete Time Paradox if that really happened.
- In universe, the Death Star II was returned minutes before the first pan down in RotJ. The Death Star being missing from Endor orbit is believed to be what led the Emperor to be displeased with the Imperial staff's lack of progress, according to Vader in RotJ.
- In a different situation, Arthur had been depicted turning everyone into stone on Dec. 22, 2008 in an alternate reality. This move, which was deemed highly Tabuu, angered ss07 and caused him to send out his message (which was first discovered by Konata on late Christmas Eve 2008 before it was fully decoded and unscrambled) and port himself back into the Death Star II and screw up time and space to bring it to present-day Earth on Jan. 2, 2009. Thankfully Sonic the Hedgehog came on Jan. 18 and saved the Earth before the deadline, driving the Death Star away and ss07 into hiding for his final two months. superslinger2007 the user posted a video anyway about what would have happened on Feb. 17. Judging from his claims in the RATI Quiz, frankly, ss07 was a little too generous!
- The enigmatic Backlash rules, effective Sept. 20, 2011, aim to defend against bullying by using paranoia and counter-prejudice disproportionately.
- Does Not Understand Sarcasm: This user cannot speak sarcasm nor can they easily pick up on it. Therefore, this user will think you're serious every second you're being sarcastic. Partial reason why he was scared off a forum by a bully moderator in June 2010.
- Doomed by Canon: Did ss07 (persona) not think that destroying the Death Star a month before the Battle of Yavin (A New Hope) would not affect life as he knew it?
- Doom Magnet: superslinger2007 (persona).
- Doppelgänger: See the Evil Twin entry below.
- Double Standard Abuse: Female on Male: In CODE RED, Soldier's a jerk yet Mio is not.
- Draco in Leather Pants: Most likely GLaDOS by the time of YTP 10: The Final Intimate Melancholy.
- "Driving Question: "What is March 17?"
- Dual Boss: WTPF? 7 part 2 info, tentative: The T-clone and Angry German Kid.
- Early Installment Weirdness
- Emergency Transformation: superslinger2007 (persona) makes a deal to transfer himself into GLaDOS's supercomputer hardware in March 2009. In CODE RED, GLaDOS is forced into her other body in CR Aug 31 2010 after ss07 stays active too long in her supercomputer body.
- Enemy Within
- Episodic story: May be a possibility for One Step Beyond, although it would be better to make it one story.
- Evil Twin / Doppelgänger / Evil Counterpart: superslinger2007's terminator-clone.
- Non-indicative Name: He did not contain an endoskeleton as Terminators are expected to, but still acts like a Terminator.
- Expendable Clone
- Humanoid Abomination
- YTP 11 info: Now that CODE RED is complete, the possibility of the #SK09 subject having a T-clone of her own is possible.
- Expansion Pack Past: Final installment: WTPF? 7. Part 2.
- Expospeak Gag: On May 22, 2010, the day he got COMPROMISED, superslinger2007 the user spoke about a group of episodes which he couldn't refer to by name. Of course, because he was asked what he was talking about, he had to say the name outright.
superslinger2007 (the user): It's the fricking Endless Eight. I mean, no one likes it.
- The Faceless: The persona is always behind a mask.
- Cool Mask: A Vader mask. However, the user also uses the Vader avatar.
- WTPF? 7 info: Two-Faced: The mask's right-half (to him) is believed to have broken off on March 17, 2009, revealing a skull and the eye socket filled with an odd red symbol. The T-clone's mask has also broken off but for him, it's his mask's left half (to him). ss07 the character was planned to have half of ss07 the user's real face revealed at some point, but the user has already established himself as different from the character.
- Fanon Fanfiction Satire/Parody/Pastiche (acknowledged by the user)
- First Girl Wins WTPF? 7 part 2 info.
- First Law of Resurrection: The YouTube Poop Theory of Death. See also Death Is Cheap above.
The Nerd, WTPF? 4: "Nobody ever dies in / Youtube Poop /. They're either defeated or they—" (gets interrupted)
superslinger2007 (character), WTPF? 5: "But I thought there was that Youtube Poop theory. (someone gets revived behind him) Well, that's a relief."
- Flanderization: Those psychopaths are only known as being psychopaths and Death Star bait from now on. To the chaotic Internet persona. It is majorly downplayed in Payback: the Otafest vlogs as the user, of course, wants to appreciate them at conventions.
- Forbidden Zone: The unmappable Forbidden Sector itself, sector PF-31707, which will finally be depicted as a mass chaos of worlds based on superslinger2007's thoughts in WTPF? 7 part 2.
- Foregone Conclusion: superslinger2007 dies (physically) in a nuclear explosion on March 17, 2009 at 8:10 PM.
- We don't know who the March 17th victim is and even if someone did, there's no connection yet between the date and the subsequent intermittent security breaches. What did happen on March 17, 2009 let alone 2007 anyway? Back to the Driving Question.
- Foreshadowing: In WTPF? 7 part 1, Angry German Kid smashes a speaker that is playing a remix of Tunak Tunak Tun. Nearly a year later in CODE RED, a certain bassist gets thrown into the mess. Tunak Tunak Tun was remixed with Don't Say Lazy, a song in which that bassist sung vocals on in-universe.
- Four is Death: Blew up four times.
- Freak Out COMPROMISED! on Saturday, May 22, 2010.
- Fridge Horror: An early in-universe example: In Interference, Hiyori suddenly realizes that Yutaka looks a lot like Coro from Bubble Symphony, and then come the notions that she might die in a Cursed manner.
- Funny Afro: One of the questions in the Revenge Quiz features this. "Please don't buy the bald seal!"
- Gag Sub:
- Type 2 for Angry German Kid segments until WTPF? 7's setting.
- Type 2 again for a downloadable Downfall spoof in Feb. 2012.
- Gainax Ending:
- The "conclusion" to Kagami and GLaDOS's story in YTP ss07 10. The ending to the episode itself with all the characters remembering the nuclear detonation was meant to lead into WTPF? 7.
- In CODE RED, since the #SK09 case file is a crazy Widget Series as it is, the ending runs parallel to it by repeating its events.
- General Ripper: superslinger2007 (persona), when controlling the Death Star against Earth.
- The Ghost: Arguably the March 17th victim and the #SK09 [subject name here], unless someone puts two and two together
- Girlish Pigtails: Fittingly, these characters also end up being or becoming Tsundere characters.
- Glowing Mechanical Eyes: Regarding GLaDOS's other body, the four cores may demonstrate this in WTPF? 7 to show current status.
- Godzilla Threshold: An incomplete Death Star pulled to an Earth filled with alleged psychopaths in 1983. Just wait for that solar eclipse and its paradox loop.
- Gondor Calls for Aid:
- The P*SS siren is effective at this. (YTP ss07 5 both regular and Disappearance versions, and YTP ss07 Xmas)
- In CODE RED, Tsukasa being targeted by green onion missiles leads to Yuki and Yoko (and Minami) dragged in to where she is.
- Grandfather Paradox (Temporal Paradox): Two of these are brought up in a background of visuals behind GLaDOS at the end of "Bout of randomness".
- If ss07 (persona) took the Death Star back to 1983 and used it on Earth, the user wouldn't be born to create the persona. This is a reference to the grudge arc back in 2008, where the persona targets Earth because there are alleged psychopaths living on it.
- If ss07 (user) had a DeLorean, he'd use it to go back in time to stop the COMPROMISE. This is brought up in the January 30, 2011 update. Of course, Doc Brown chews him out on it.
- Pictures in right column: ss07 insignia + Yuki and Tsukasa + camera with blood splattered around it (identity COMPROMISED; picture forms part of the Payback title sequence) + 2010 = Delorean time machine ? = camera and blood crossed out by an X (signifying "No COMPROMISE to stop").
GLaDOS: I think he's getting desperate.
H-R
- Hand Wave: It's hard enough to explain how events that take place a lot earlier or later than their source media's release or setting dates happen on certain other dates. superslinger2007 (persona/character) apparently created metaphorical time parallels. Time parallel date to other date:
- [classified events] March 17, 2007: March 8-29, 2003 (Release date of source)
- Revenge Against the Impossible Quiz Dec. 31, 2007 (setting: Sept. 2007): one month before 0 BBY (ANH release: 1977; by setting 2024 (2005 + 19))
- Grudge against (alleged) psychopaths sometime just before 4 ABY, or Oct. 2028 coexistent 1983 (RotJ release: 1983; by setting 2028 (2005 + 19 + 3 + 1)) Also, Higurashi is set in 1983
- WTPF? 7: terminal distortion allowing for randomness from the future to seep to the past.
- part 1: Dec. 25, 2009: March 17, 2009
- part 2: [release date here]: March 17, 2009
- CODE RED finale [release date here]: Jan. 2, 2011, again allowing future randomness in the past.
- April '11 update with actual CR preview April 1, 2011: April 1, 1911/2011
- Regarding Portal 2 GLaDOS other body re-transferred from P1 supercomputer body after April 1, 2011 but before April 19, 2011 to "other body", FINAL transferal to her P2 supercomputer body due to auxiliary computer power via the Alternate Reality Game in:
- Portal 2 10:29 PM 04.18.2011 MDT (21:29 or 9:29 PM PDT) release date: canonically some hundred years in the future, or time parallel'd to April 2011
- Hanlon's Razor: Averted oh so very much. This is why the Backlash rules are in effect.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Not in the ss07 series, but: First he was introduced to Portal. Then he watched Toy Story 3. Due to this, he built a Companion Cube Pin papercraft (subverting Lost Forever) as well as a separate papercraft and showcased them in Payback: the Otafest vlogs.
- Heroic BSOD COMPROMISED! on Saturday, May 22, 2010. Rule of Three.
- Heterosexual Life Partners: GLaDOS and Kagami (implied), especially at the end of CODE RED: the finale/written adaptation.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen or (his real voice) Heard: ss07 the user, until he was forced out of hiding in May 2010 and the Revelation began in June.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In the Ace Attorney Investigations epilogue, Kay Faraday says she'd hold off on doing anything until she found "a three-person team of young beauties the same age as me, if possible!" Now consider the fact that in the CODE RED series, Haruhi is represented with Kay's onscreen alias. And Haruhi's SOS brigade partially consists of?
- Hype Aversion: Not just for the persona, but also in real life. And oh boy the BEEEEPs may be at it. There. We said it. Stereotypicals.
- I'm Going to Regret Asking You This: According to superslinger2007 (persona) in Disturbance Over A Leak, Jack (superslinger2007 the user) said this.
- Idiot Ball: WTPF? 7 info: On March 17, 2009, AGK kills the T-clone. A newcomer side character is horribly mistaken and believes he'd killed superslinger2007 (character) and goes back in time to July 13, 2008 to stop AGK with the help of past-ss07. However, his meddling sends AGK and ss07 (character) into an unexpected duel in the past where ss07 has the advantage and defeats AGK. This has repercussions in the future (Mar 17, 2009) where AGK fades from existence upon reaching the hideout, and the T-clone is brought back to life.
- Improbably Female Cast
- Insane Equals Violent: Admittedly, the persona is Not so Different from the Grudge City psychopaths once the DS is up in the air, waiting to eclipse the Sun.
- Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: The situation that got superslinger2007 (the user) COMPROMISED! is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and two users were called out for it.
- It's a Wonderful Plot: See Ret Gone below.
- The Jimmy Hart Version: Lucky Star's 24 beeps imitation began a WTPF? 6 prequel before superslinger2007 (persona) corrects it.
- Just Before the End: WTPF? 7.
- Killed Off for Real: In an attempt at a Fourth Wall Mail Slot, GLaDOS is contemplating doing this to superslinger2007 (persona) for YTP 11. This also tests the audience's chance to invoke Saved by the Fans.
- Knight of Cerebus: The T-clone. More so in WTPF? 7.
- Kudzu Plot: superslinger2007 the persona, a Vader lookalike, escapes to black void. Randomness happens. Suddenly, characters start showing up inside the void and mess around. Outside the void, reality breaks, six Psyche-Locks show up, have their causes identified, and ss07 dies. Physically. Through a deal with GLaDOS where he had the advantage, he partitioned himself in. Then several machines found at ss07's hideout are messed with, causing even more reality damage. A COMPROMISE occurs where Jack, aka superslinger2007 the user, shows himself for the first time due to other people's alleged malice, and more compared-voice jokes ensue. Then there is a falling-out between persona and user when ss07 the persona tries to cover up Payback footage filmed by the user. After that, there's a case of "if you can't beat them...".
- Leitmotif
- The Imperial March for ss07 (character)'s appearances as he is a Costume Copycat of Vader.
- The T-clone (details below), after his first appearance, always has Terminator-related music playing around him, so we know it's the T-clone (and not ss07 (character) himself) on a killing spree.
- Yet ss07 himself had Terminator music attached to him in YTP 6.5, freaking Tsukasa out for the wrong reason. As if any of the characters could tell whether it was ss07 or the T-clone anyway.
- After ss07 got COMPROMISED, Disturbance Over a Leak and CODE RED episodes since Jun 8 2010 used "The Gonk" from Dawn of the Dead, initially used for superslinger2007's encounters with certain characters associated with a certain voice actress, but later used for Actress Allusions and comparisons.
- One-shots/infrequent examples:
- Load-Bearing Boss
- Loads and Loads of Characters in the overall fanon fanfiction, whose series/videos superslinger2007 have watched:
- Loony Fan (accidental; doesn't mean to be.)
- Loose Canon: The Christmas specials are "not necessarily part of the [respective] series".
- Luminescent Blush: Especially shown in YTP ss07 10.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: superslinger2007, the Chaotic Neutral Internet persona (character), is not like Jack, aka superslinger2007 the user, who is very soft-spoken and approachable. And often reluctant.
- Magic Countdown / Narnia Time: In WTPF? 7, traveling across superslinger2007's closed spaces in sector PF-31707 causes some dilation.
- Magic Realism
- Make Wrong What Once Went Right: WTPF? 7 info - see Idiot Ball above.
- Marquee Alter Ego: superslinger2007 (the user) after he got COMPROMISED and revealed to the Net
- Meaningful Release Date: June 22 is Jack's birthday. In 2010, Revelation was released on that day.
- Medium Blending: GLaDOS in WTPF? 7's pfargtl sequences: While the other characters are represented with still pictures, GLaDOS has Full Motion Video in a sense.
- Mental Time Travel: In WTPF? 7 part 2 and the CODE RED finale, events from the future (those that happen before the release dates) happen in the past (setting). It Makes Sense in Context for WTPF? 7.
- Mental World: In the series, reality is constantly being re-shifted since 2008. Even a city got modified due to the inhibitors.
- Milestone Celebration
- My 30th Video: Starkiller Chronicle was made to celebrate 30 videos on YouTube as well as the channel's survival for nearly a year. It was released on Leap Day, February 29, 2008, on purpose.
- On April 19, 2012, a "5 Years" ident was created featuring the current Vader-outline logo as well as an icon depicting major events for each preceding year:
- 2007: Galactic Empire logo: the arrival of the persona, a Vader lookalike.
- 2008: Death Star II: The grudge against the alleged psychopaths.
- 2009: Bub: Around WTPF? 7's setting, the Bubble Bobble series returned as a rotating interest. The Curse, its One-Hit-Point Wonder factor, was scrutinized.
- 2010: Camera: The user's identity was COMPROMISED that year, leading to a Revelation.
- 2011: Mental inhibitor: The CODE RED finale and web novel's setting takes place in 2011. It also serves as a representation of rotating interests, which have influenced Payback: the Otafest vlogs.
- Mismatched Eyes: In YTP 11, GLaDOS will gain these in her other body. Her right eye will turn from purple to yellow in a homage to the original kazu01 recoloring on DeviantArt.
- Missing Episode: Despite early plans not to misnumber episodes, the YTP ss07 series skips #7 as it is meant to intertwine with the WTPF? series. Hence, WTPF? 7: terminal distortion was proposed.
- Moe Anthropomorphism: One of the matters at hand in CODE RED and the rest of "a screwed destiny". GLaDOS is forced into her other body, while Neru is a (cute) cyberbully faction leader.
- Morphic Resonance: GLaDOS's other human-like body with smaller versions of her four original personality cores on her head.
- The Movie: WTPF? 7.
- Murder Seemed To Be... The Best Solution at The Time: All in all, in both 2024 and 2028/1983, he thought blowing up the Death Star/Earth was the best solution. He didn't count on the paradoxes in Star Wars continuity nor his own continuity.
- Because, as we should know, he likes Star Wars, and blowing up the Death Star one month before the events of A New Hope would prevent it from ever happening.
- Grandfather Paradox: Also, ss07 was born in 1991 and that blowing up the Earth in the Time Parallel of 2028/1983 would cause him to not be born and thus he wouldn't be alive to be able to create his persona nor have the crazy idea to go back (forward?) to blow Earth up.
- The YTP Theory of Death doesn't apply here because they're not YTP.
- Never Live It Down: ss07 believes that the "F**king green-hair psychopath wants to smash your face with a hammer."
Heavy, CODE RED Apr 30 2010 : No! Is not possible!
- CR Oct 25: Rena is scrutinized, but "Why's all the blame just on her?"
- WTPF? 7 info: The psychopath, the primary prejudicial grudge target, who is likely Shion to ss07 + Hammer Bros behaviour (throws hammers) + Weapon of Choice: nails + wearing those certain clothes and hallucinatory bleeding head appearance in episode 8 + initially glowing red eyes as in her regular appearance in WTPF? 7's intro + throws nails upward in an arc + nails get slammed to the ground at high speed upon contact with a hammer, crit TF2 sound upon contact and sawblade thrown by gravity gun sound upon nail impact = potential High Octane Nightmare Fuel / An unwanted doomsday-level terror.
- Becomes majorly downplayed when cosplayers of Mion*, Keiichi, and Rena show up in the non-malicious Payback: the Otafest vlogs.
- *The Payback vlogs show, as evidence, that Mion holds a permanent marker. To be fair, she would not have been allowed into the convention if she held a syringe or a syringe-shaped pen.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Candidists broke ss07('s privacy).
- No Ontological Inertia: February 5th may relate to a certain movie's release on the 6th, 15 time zones ahead. This movie tells what would happen if Haruhi Suzumiya wasn't in her place at the right time but went off someplace else or vanished/disappeared, so to speak. If this happened, superslinger2007 would never know Haruhi, resulting in a spontaneous death or rearrangement of the Butterfly of Doom for ss07. For want of Haruhi's disappearance, the timeline is changed.
- superslinger2007 will have blown up for the last time on March 17, 2008, nullifying the fourth death. Think about it: If ss07 had never known about Haruhi, he would never have the others start complaining about "Sunny Day Disruption", and that would leave him with only one thing to think about: the March 17th victim.
- Misa Amane would not be interesting enough to hold his rotating interest for a long time, but she's still cute and he still finds out about Konata anyway.
- In the main timeline, ss07 found out about Haruhi on August 21, 2007. By Nov. 9, 2007, her alleged villainy was already set in ss07's mind.
- Odd Friendship / Crack Pairing: Kagami and GLaDOS, since February/March 2009. This was long before the latter was classified as what is known as a Tsundere with Portal 2's release.
- Old Shame
- 10:02:41 am on November 9th, 2007. (WTPF? 6 prequel)
- The COMPROMISE situation on May 22, 2010.
- The attempted memetic!Christian Bale reference "we are done unprofessionally" after the coverup, Payback: the Otafest vlogs season 1 day 3
- Once a Season:
- Someone has to rant on "Sunny Day Disruption".
- WTPF? (2007-09): WTPF? 6 is centered around the then-villain, who popularized said song and dance. The Nerd and the Tourettes Guy express their displeasure.
- YTP ss07 Edition (2008-09): It's the Critic's turn in YTP 6.5: A Disarray of Ideals.
- CODE RED (2010-2011): The Snob gets his turn in CODE RED Oct 25 2010 (across both parts).
- a screwed destiny (2011-12): In YTP 11, GLaDOS after being thrown back into the present day.
Dancing is NOT science!
- Tourettes Guy's P*SS has to make something or someone fall.
- YTP ss07 Edition (2008-09): In YTP 2 (and 3), a skeleton. In YTP 6, Haruhi dancing to a different LHS.
- WTPF? (2007-09): In WTPF? 7 part 1, a Companion Cube from the "pile of boxes" falls through the other cubes and into the ground.
- CODE RED / a screwed destiny (2011-12): A bunch of stuff from the Demoman and the Heavy.
- One of Us: As opposed to being One Of Them.
- Ostentatious Secret: Oh so very much.
- Outer Limits Twist / Diabolus ex Machina: The ending to YTP ss07 5: The T-Clone's Last Stand.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: Death Star upon a planet (allegedly) full of psychopaths. Too bad this is never canonical nor moral.
- Picture Drama: The WTPF? series.
- Pink Girl, Blue Boy: As of the CODE RED finale, GLaDOS may be in contention with Wheatley a long time before they're supposed to, now that the latter has gained a human host. In her other body, GLaDOS's twin ponytails have shades of pink, while Wheatley is attached to a blue-haired man... named Kaito.
- Portent Of Doom / Bad Moon Rising (That's No Moon): The persona likes to make the Death Star II eclipse the sun. When that happens, the Earth is doomed due to the actions of a few (alleged) psychopaths.
- Posthumous Character / Virtual Ghost: superslinger2007 (persona)
- Postscript Season: The YTP ss07 series was meant to be the last series before WTPF? 7 would be in production. Then another deadly secret gets hinted at... Cue the CODE RED series.
- Power Floats: GLaDOS in her other body may decide to do some of this in YTP ss07 11 or the CODE RED finale.
- Premature Encapsulation:
- WTPF? 6: The Final Minutes, before it was decided that superslinger2007 (persona) would survive until WTPF? 7: terminal distortion where he would live out the final minutes of his life, physically.
- "A Disarray of Ideals", the subtitle for YTP 6.5, is basically what's happening in CODE RED.
- "Intervention" could have been a better title for YTP mashup 11.
- Present Day Past / Time Marches On: superslinger2007 series finales such as WTPF? 7 part 2 and the CODE RED finale will have stuff from after the setting appear in the episode. This means overdubbing characters with other characters their voice actresses voiced from a rotating interest that ss07 (user) has 1-2 months in the future after the video's setting, or random action poses from 4 to 10 months in the future.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: As seen in WTPF? 6 and 7, and CODE RED.
- Reality Subtext
- Real Life Writes the Plot
- Real Men Wear Pink: superslinger2007 the user has access to a pink digital camera. He used it for Revelation and Loose Discovery, along with the Sept. 2010 update and Payback: the Otafest vlogs in May and November 2011. The Payback intro shows this.
- Real Song Theme Tune:
- "Voices" by Disturbed (WTPF? 4 credits), "The Only" by Static-X, "What I've Done" by Linkin Park (WTPF? 6 credits), "Take It All" by Trust Company (WTPF? 7 part 1), "Another Way to Die" by Disturbed (WTPF? 7 part 2)
- Various others through the YTP ss07 series before half of it was forced down.
- Real Time: WTPF? 6 (as it somewhat followed 24's format) and, arguably, WTPF? 7 and CODE RED.
- Reclusive User: Until he was forced out of hiding.
- Remake Cameo: YTP ss07 3's re-release included a clip of the Nostalgia Critic ranting about, as others have, the Impossible Quiz of doom.
- Ret Gone: Attempting to go along with The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, superslinger2007 made alternate versions of four videos in the YTP ss07 Edition! series across three releases, where Haruhi is deemed to not officially exist. As a result, superslinger2007 has prematurely died, and none of the SOS brigade members are available to help in tough circumstances, such as the T-clone attack. So far, "Disappearance editions" exist for 1/2, 3/4, 5, and 6/6.5. The latest, 3/4, was created when Disappearance of Haruhi was released in North America.
- Revenge of the Sequel: Revenge Against The Impossible Quiz, a Fan Sequel.
- Rick Roll:
- April 1, 2008.
- Also in YTP ss07 6: the Nerd claims to reveal what the viewers were apparently waiting for, only for it to be Haruhi dancing to "Never Gonna Give You Up". Then the Nerd gives in and decides to play Sunny Day Disruption.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Averted. GLaDOS makes a final transferal into her supercomputer body (even though it has the new Portal 2 look). Her subsequent restoration and reboot leaves no knowledge about any of the superslinger2007 series events, with no superslinger2007 (persona) partition, as if the events never happened at all. This however leaves GLaDOS with a new insult to use on Chell, as she couldn't stop being friendly to Kagami during their time together. In the upcoming YTP 11, sometime relatively after the events of Portal 2, GLaDOS is thrown back into her other body in the present day, still with a blank slate. She has to rediscover everything.
- Roman à Clef: The anachronistic "Disturbance Over A Leak" retells this one time where superslinger2007, not the character, but the user talked to Yuki Nagato's voice actress, Michelle Ruff, after running into her in the hallways a few times.
- Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: The Death Star comes up very often, especially with those psychopaths. Good thing "nobody ever dies in YouTube Poop".
- Ron the Death Eater: Haruhi was the primary antagonist of WTPF? 6, due to ss07 being uninformed.
- WTPF? 7 info: She'll be bashed again once she redoes the outburst at the end of the 2009 series from utter frustration.
- Rooting for the Empire
- Rose-Haired Girl: The March 17th victim (whoever the nonsense she is). Then again, pink is supposed to be threatening.
- Running Gag: When someone (mainly, Haruhi or the TF2 Sniper) says "p-ss", the video switches briefly to a clip of Tourettes Guy answering the phone with that word. Came to a head in CODE RED Aug 31 2010 where a clip shows him shouting this word into the phone after the Sniper mumbles his.
S-Z
- Sanity Slippage: The persona suffers this from time to time.
- Scare Chord: Some times, including in "Disturbance Over a Leak", which is a Roman à Clef of actual events. The Metal Gear Solid blare also plays when someone has found the case file in CODE RED.
- Selectively Lethal Weapon: superslinger2007 (character)'s lightsaber, especially in WTPF? 4.
- Self Insert Fic: His random videos, of which the entire mega-series has become a Continuity Snarl and consists of one random Flash series that got a Sequelitis format change, which branched out into a full motion video series, which then comes full circle with initially-skipped #7, making this a Non-Linear Sequel series. This has since faded when the user and persona became separate, but in CODE RED, the user's voice made a few appearances.
- Or was supposed to, but branched off into two subseries: the CODE RED series and Disappearance editions of existing YTPs, before production could even start on the conclusion to #7. And then ss07 got COMPROMISED, which added another branch to the CODE RED subseries.
- Serial Killer-Killer: The T-Clone defeated Binyah Binyah for this reason. superslinger2007 (persona) threatened to pull the Death Star on Earth because of the fracking psychopaths, and also on Arthur if he wasn't stopped in time. They make sense in context.
- Series Hiatus
- The long break between the releases of YTP ss07 10 (May 2009) and WTPF? 7 (2009). The latter whose already-complete-a-month-beforehand first part was released Dec. 25, 2009.
- There is another hiatus as the user tries to focus on university work and stuff, before production can really begin on WTPF? 7 part 2 or YTP ss07 11: One Step Beyond. For now, we have the CODE RED sub-series as well as inhibitor filler.
- Shadow Archetype: The T-Clone.
- Ship Sinking / Die for Our Ship, somewhat: splitting a rather well known pairing and throwing a supercomputer into the mess thereby making a Cargo Ship/Odd Friendship/Intergenerational Friendship/Crossover Ship/Stalker Ship pairing, which began as a mere Valentine's subplot and went on beyond March 17, 2009
GLaDOS (sounding like the Administrator), "Day 8" (12 Days of Xmas 2009): "Alert! A friendship (referring to Konata and Kagami) has been detected, and will be eliminated. The rest of you (referring to Tsukasa and Miyuki) are... satisfactory."
- Short Title: Long, Elaborate Subtitle: YTP series. (The short title is Youtube Poop: superslinger2007 Edition! [NUMBER]!, and the long title is often if not related to the YTP in some form). The longest title ss07 came up with, due to lack of ideas resulting in a Word Salad Title, is for Youtube Poop: superslinger2007 Edition! INTERIM!: Widescreen Depfargtl Risky Song Switcheroo Gay Radio Parody LHS Overuse Inferred Continuity.
- Sinister Geometry: The mental inhibitors consist of triangular prisms in the form of Calumon's head shape.
- Someone's Touching My Butt: In WTPF? 7 part 1, this is pretty much what Haruhi would do. However, she's in bubbob (bubble dragon) form, and she grabs Homestar, who, of course, states this. Haruhi is only doing this to steal the wand Homestar was holding, as it can demorph bubbobs.
- Spanner in the Works: The two people with cameras who compromised ss07 the user by posting the entire May 22, 2010 panel on YouTube, whose usernames were revealed on June 22nd. One of them has responded on July 7, 2010.
- Spin to Deflect Stuff: In WTPF? 7 part 1, Hyper Drunk deflects the bullets of and knocks out a Portal turret this way before getting executed by a rocket turret.
- Spoiler Title: WTPF? 6 and 7.
- Start of Darkness: March 17, 2007.
- Spell My Name With A _____:
- In WTPF? 6 and its prequel shorts, any mention of the --- -------*
SOS Brigade by name was bleeped by a probably memetic clown face named "Piclownjew".
- As of May 2012: the BEEEEPs.
- Stable Time Loop: In the upcoming/planned YTP 11, the final scene will explain why superslinger2007 (persona) does not reside in GLaDOS's supercomputer body in Portal 2's setting.
- Stock Footage:
- Some footage of GLaDOS recorded for the April Fools' Day 2009 subversion and reveal of superslinger2007's hideout in WTPF? 7 was re-used in YTP ss07 10: The Final Intimate Melancholy.
- GLaDOS footage recorded for YTP ss07 10 has been re-used since "Day 8" of the 12 Days of Christmas series of videos in 2009 before new footage was recorded for the CODE RED series, specifically the May 2010 "update". The latter's footage has been reused for the April '11 update, a 2011 April Fools' Day subversion which provided a CODE RED preview.
- Stylistic Suck: The WTPF? series' pfargtl (Black Void) scenes.
- Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum lolz
- Sunglasses at Night Or Inside: A decision made during Revelation, the user has decided not to reveal his full self. That means hiding what little remains from public.
- Sure, Why Not?: Inverted: official canons for fiction influence superslinger2007's fan-made storylines. Sometimes, events in the past happen for an unknown reason that would only be revealed later in time. (Just keeping options open, that's all.) For example:
Kagami: Wha... Don't be stupid. It's nothing like that. Really it isn't!...
- Synthetic Voice Actor: Because the user couldn't bother to use his microphone. Yet. Until Revelation. This, however, has stuck with the character.
- In YTP 10: The Final Intimate Melancholy, GLaDOS uses some lines from the fan-made mod Portal: Prelude, which contains synthesized voices among lines from the main Portal game.
- The 99.97%-represent meanies/cyberbully/troll grunts are also depicted using Male Voice 1 of Speakonia. Even a blonde-haired bully (introduced later and revealed in CODE RED Jul 24 2010) is depicted speaking with a slightly-raised Microsoft Anna voice and wears a sun visor as a replacement for the standard-issue black cap, in order to fit in with being classified as a troll. Of course, she's got something planned in May of each year.... Her name is Neru Akita, and she is their leader, after all.
- Tagline:
- "The mystery ends... the scandal begins" - CODE RED (circa Aug. 31, 2010). Reused in the finale poster and web novel announcement trailer because Nothing Is the Same Anymore.
- "The investigation concludes..." - circa Jan. 2, 2011
- "Everything ends forever" - WTPF? 7: terminal distortion
- "If you can't beat them, join them... and apologize for filming others in the face" - Payback: the Otafest vlogs, Oct. 2011
- Payback: the Otafest vlogs has a play on the phrase "It's payback time", with "It's time. Again." (the 4th split day - Nov. 12, 2011) and likely Season 2 (May 2012).
- Talkative Loon: Mild train-of-thought version, what the CODE RED investigation is sifting through.
- Teasing Creator (unintentionally and accidentally)
- They\'re Called Personal Issues for a Reason
- Time Bomb: the persona.
- Time Master: The persona creates time screws and time parallels that pull himself or other characters and objects across time.
- Time Skip: From YTP ss07 10 to CODE RED, and that to YTP ss07 11 (and even that one jumps quite a bit over).
- Title Drop: Homestar does this throughout the WTPF? series.
- To Be Continued
- Subverted in "superslinger2007 Has Snapped!" (April 19, 2008), the first video depicting a T-Clone.
- Double Subverted as the T-Clone story arc was picked up once again in June.
- The original YouTube release of "The T-Clone's Last Stand" split the parts with a "To be continued... REALLY!" referencing the end of "ss07 Has Snapped".
- Too Soon: Even if WTPF? 7 and/or the CODE RED finale were completed, they couldn't be released in the spring or summer of 2011 because of the earthquake and consequent nuclear crisis. "Nuclear" is a key word here.
- Turn of the Millennium: In regards to various releases and settings:
- officially kick started in May 2007 (WTPF? 1) - Jan. 2, 2011 (CODE RED finale)
- non-fanon April 2007 - April 1, 2011 (April '11 update)
- The New Tens
- CODE RED series setting: February 3, 2010 - January 2, 2011
- releases: ... - (Finale release) Jan. 2, 2012
- YTP ss07 11 setting: 2011-12
- Unfortunate Implications: Averted. superslinger2007 (persona) is a lone renegade, because "figurative Imperial rebel" is too much of an oxymoron.
- Un Installment: WTPF? 7, meant to be the Series Finale.
- Unreliable Narrator
- Up to Eleven: The YouTube Poop: superslinger2007 Edition! series, which originally ended at #10 in 2009. An 11th installment.
- The Very Definitely Final Dungeon:
- WTPF? 7 info revealed early by GLaDOS in "the lone truth in a day of negated truths" (an April Fools' Day video but with absolute truth despite GLaDOS's history) about what ss07's true hideout was: a house that looks exactly like the one in Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move (arcade: the credits; SNES: the credits after the VS CPU mode). It's not very tall. However, apparently since a beam will shoot out of it, bathing everything around it in a red glow according to the WTPF? 7 trailer, it'll seem like an Evil Tower of Ominousness to people outside.
- Void Between the Worlds: As demonstrated in the WTPF? series, CODE RED, and inhibitor filler, for instance. It consists of featureless paths that characters can use to travel from one place to another.
- Weaksauce Weakness: The Curse (Bubble Bobble's One-Hit-Point Wonder factor), scrutinized in Intervention to the point where it reveals that those who return to human form remain susceptible to death by touching anything.
Critic: I mean you know I'm not gonna be able to top that!
- We Cannot Go On Without You: In YTP ss07 5: Disappearance edition, the Nerd takes the impact of the T-clone's Force strike (instead of Mikuru in the original) and everything falls apart.
- Weirdness Magnet: superslinger2007 (persona)
- Wham Line: In Payback: the Otafest vlogs - day 3. "Clearance revoked by order of Internet persona"!
- What an Idiot: You'd think, based on available claims, ss07 would stop, or at least forget about doing, the whole Brainwashed and Crazy thing on March 17, 2007 the moment he realized it would get worse from that point on.
- Instead, ss07 held on, and then something bad happened that night that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
- What Do You Mean, It\'s Not Heinous?: repeatedly showing satirical (types 2 and 3) statements. Type 3 is demonstrated where one would be branded a candidist if they happen to shoot superslinger2007 in public with a camera and he finds out it's been posted.
- What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Until Kagami gave GLaDOS some chocolate in Interference, GLaDOS was pretty much like this.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: In WTPF? 7, one of the Companion Cubes that forms the "pile of boxes" turns out to have a character trapped inside it, calling out for help. GLaDOS assumes that cube is unauthorized and wants it destroyed, only to offer to help free the character trapped inside it later.
GLaDOS: Please be advised that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.
Critic: Oh you know what? Give me a reason! Give me a reason!
- When It All Began: March 17, 2007.
- Wiki Walk: Streams of thought. Often takes on this and similar looks into things, especially into voice actor roles.
- Will They or Won't They?: See Odd Friendship above, until YTP 11 is finally released.
- A Worldwide Punomenon: Because time screws are involved, the series branding, "a screwed destiny", makes a pun on Screw Destiny. It also means that things go From Bad To Worse.
- Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Although an inevitable conclusion is in mind.
- Your Head A Splode: four times.
In May 2011, superslinger2007 began an experimental amateur documentary video log series. These tropes apply to this series.
Payback: the Otafest vlogs
- Actor Allusion: In season 2 day 3, a voice actress reference regarding a cosplay character is made. All we can say is: Plan executed!
- Apologetic Cameraman: Makes an effort to apologize for accidental candidism, unlike what happened to him in May 2010.
"If you can't beat them, join them. ...and apologize for filming others in the face."
In February 2012, a successor to CODE RED began, consisting of randomness.
inhibitor filler
- Actor Allusion: Most episodes contain role switcheroos and otherwise. Notably, in ep01, Ritsu meets Kyubey and Mio meets Homura. ep03 expanded on this pattern with Azusa and Madoka despite the user's unfamiliarity with her voice actress... and breaks it with Cul and Sayaka. In ep06, Azusa and Madoka find out about Filia, and Sayaka finds herself lying on the ground in front of Homura because Peacock was KO'd by Cerebella....
- After Show: This is an attempt to do CODE RED without an unsolved case file.
- All CGI Cartoon: Save for a few video clips, the series is made with Miku Miku Dance (and one still image combined with Garry's Mod). (And that WAS a CODE RED spoiler.)
- all lowercase letters: The episode titles, except for character names.
- Easter Egg: ep05 contains one.
- Episode 0: The Beginning: Two videos have been retroactively named inhibitor filler episodes (-2 and -1), and still contain four words in the title.
- Everything's Better with Penguins: The basis for ep05. Or is it?
- Fairy Companion: ep05's easter egg implies that Navi may be Mami's companion, and allegedly filled with an Incendiary Exponent from being targeted with hatred for so long.
- Filler: The title says so.
- Foreshadowing / Accidentally Accurate: ep07, "are we dealing with...?", somehow predicted a few things that occur or cosplay characters that appear in Payback: the Otafest vlogs season 2.
- Funny Background Event: Charlotte, holding one of Mami's rifles, soars past Mami(?) and Mio(?) while the following exchange is made.
- Girlish Pigtails
- Hair Decorations: For ep03, having Azusa without her cat ears would just make her seem out of place compared to the other three characters there. How?
Madoka has ribbons, Sayaka has hair clips, and Cul has her ponytail loop and headset.
- Hair Flip: Someone does this just offscreen in the Easter egg episode. It's Homura.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: It's even one of the video tags.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each installment has four words in the title that are lowercase except for names.
- Improbably Female Cast: So far.
- Inspired By: Payback influence also occurs here.
- Invisible to Normals: Completely averted. Ritsu and Mio could see Kyubey just fine.
- Mentor Ship Tease: in ep02a.
- Missing Episode / Inverted Preview Piggybacking: ep08 is exclusive only to Payback: the Otafest vlogs season 2 day 2.
- More Dakka: ep02 applies Engineer's advice to Mami's use of rifles, using a voiceover from "Meet the Engineer".
- Parasol of Prettiness: Rena holds one as part of her Rachel Alucard act. She even spins it around due to misplaced Payback: the Otafest vlogs influence.
- Portent Of Doom: The Death Star II solar eclipse is featured in ep06 because an alleged psychopath is present.
- Spiritual Successor: To "12 days, 12 drops" in Dec. 2011, which consisted of mostly random short sketches.
- Suddenly Voiced / Vocal Dissonance: Charlotte the witch in the Easter egg episode.
- Talking To Herself: Azusa to Madoka in ep03. Haruhi(?) to Dokuro(?), Yui(?) to Mikuru(?) in ep04, Ritsu to Kyubey in ep07.
- Visual Pun: For ep05, the Easter egg is the penguin's egg.
- What Could Have Been
- Mami's eventual use of "Tiro Finale" before you-know-what allows Engineer to avoid telling her off in ep02a with "You should have brought more gun, ma'am".
- Initially, Madoka was to perform Pyro's guitar riff taunt on Azusa's guitar in ep03, but it wouldn't have made any sense. Cul was also to wear a long blonde wig that would hint at Kagari Izuriha sharing her and Sayaka's voice actress. See also Hair Decorations above.
- If not for the delay, the Easter Egg episode would have been named "four-eight-twelve? no.".
- What the Hell, Hero?: In the Easter egg episode.
- White Void Room: And its black void version, as well as several different colors in the April Fools' Day episode.
- You Never Asked: Why else would Kyubey not say he likes Disturbed? (Suspiciously Apropos Music)
- You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!: In the Easter egg episode.
Kyoko, ep05E ( Easter Egg episode): Huh? You gotta be kidding!
- Your Size May Vary: Kyubey seems bigger than he should be, though it is due to the model size.
T-Clone info
Don't blame ss07 for attacking Haruhi, Mario, or Wario in the year 2008.
That was his T-clone. A terminator-clone who, despite not having an internal metal endoskeleton (thus giving him a Non-indicative Name), still acts like a legitimate Terminator and is mostly just as invulnerable. The T-Clone is an alternate superslinger2007 from the real ss07's-own- Closed-Spaces ( warped PF-31707 realities) who has somehow ported himself into ss07's YouTube Poop continuity, has no regrets about March 17, only ever speaks in overdub, and is an unreasonable Hero Killer. The T-clone goes on killing sprees upon arrival and, like ss07, breathes like Vader, so don't be fooled. The T-clone might be named superslinger2012, or something with "2012" at the end of it.
The idea of a Terminator clone (not necessarily one with an endoskeleton) was made by ss07 a year before Linkara made his own.
- T-clone Mark I: In the Closed Space, he killed Haruhi on April 18, 2008 and took a break. (This blatant example of "To Be Continued... NOT." implying that this plot has been Orphaned turned out to be doubly-subverted when the user had a reason to continue the T-clone story). Next, he unsuccessfully killed Mario (who was in Mario Teaches Typing head form at the moment) for singing the Lucky Star anthem on June 12, and killed Wario for being antagonistic on June 13 (despite Wario being in head form). He arrived of his own accord in the ss07 YTP world on Judgment Day: July 5, 2008 during a P* SS siren and killed Binyah Binyah for killing Leeroy "Approaching Sound Barrier" Jenkins and crew, concluding a second string of murders. The T-clone tried to kill Mikuru for having the lightest, happiest, and worst LHS known to ss07 at the time, but was distracted by Haruhi and The Nerd. After trying to kill Mario and Yoshi for dancing to Sunny Day Disruption (an event that also happened in YTP ss07 1), the T-clone Force-possessed a bunch of game systems for attack. Cue The Nerd, Haruhi, Mikuru, Mario, and others fighting the T-clone to hard rock music for determination. The T-clone was destroyed when Haruhi let loose a pointer finger shot. But then a nuclear explosion happens in the distance... It is superslinger2007 (the character) blowing up for the third time (second fatally) after thinking about March 17th.
- T-clone Mark II: posthumously sent back to March 17, 2009 by superslinger2007 the persona on June 22 of that same year because no one cared that day was his birthday. Disproportionate Retribution ahoy!
CODE RED has concluded on Jan. 2, 2012 with the release of a web novel set on Jan. 2, 2011. It features the Team Fortress 2 mercenaries and a bunch of other characters ( The Unexpected). Novelization First - http://coderedthewrittenadaptation.blogspot.com
