[[folder:Epilogue]]

* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Guess who.

* TrivialTitle: Despite being mentioned the title, the llama's hats are entirely incidental to the series' narrative. The only time they're even brought up is in Episode 3 when Carl explains why he thought Paul was a woman.

* CatchPhrase: ''CAAAAAAARL!'

* SayMyName: Paul's CatchPhrase.

* SayMyName: In Episode 12, [[spoiler:after discovering that Paul is dead, Carl starts shouting Paul's CatchPhrase over and over again to try to deal with the loneliness.]]

-->''[[OverlyLongGag "CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARL!!"]]''

In 2023, the original series got demonetized. In retaliation, Jason Steele made a "Re-Cut for Brand Conscientiousness" video, which consisted of a personification of [=YouTube=] hosting a compilation of the original videos [[BitingTheHandHumor edited to remove all the gore and have Paul and Carl dubbed over with generic voices spouting out blind praise of sponsors and bottled water]].

* AskAStupidQuestion: In episode 1, after Paul discovers that Carl killed someone and ate their hands.

* AskAStupidQuestion:
-->'''Paul:''' What is ''wrong'' with you, Carl?!\\

** Inverted in 4, here it looks like Carl's latest crime is ruining the carpet with muddy hoofprints... [[spoiler:then the nuke detonates.]]

* UnnecessaryTimePrecision: While not technically time-based, Paul's conversation with Carl rings of this trope. The former asks the latter for the rest of the lifeboats. Carl seems to be calculating trajectories as if the boats just got lost adrift. Instead, they sunk because he bit holes in them.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Discussed by Paul. Even if it is a higher body count, simply saying you mutilated millions of babies just doesn't have the same shock value as [[spoiler:a nuke going off in your own home city]].

'''Carl:''' [[BackhandedCompliment And what an impression you've made!]]

-->'''Paul:''' I literally never see you move!
'''Carl:''' Now that you mention it, I never see you move either.
'''Paul:''' Oh my god, you're totally right!
'''Carl:''' This is really strange.

* AffablyEvil: Carl is a mass murdering, remorseless psychopath. A ''cheerful'' mass murdering, remorseless psychopath that is.

--> '''Paul''': Carl, I watched you fire a harpoon into the captain's face!
--> '''Carl''': That sounds dangerous!
--> '''Paul''': You were headbutting children off the side of the ship!
--> '''Carl''': That, uh, that must have been horrifying to watch.
--> '''Paul''': And then you started making out with the ice sculptures!
--> '''Carl''': Well, thank ''God'' [[ThinkOfTheChildren that the children weren't on board to see it!]]

--> '''Paul''': Your mouth unhinged like a snake.

--> '''Paul''': What is ''wrong'' with you, Carl?!
--> '''Carl''': Well, I kill people and I eat hands. That's--that's two things.

--> '''Paul''': Why would you think ''any'' of this was a good idea?
--> '''Carl''': Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.
--> '''Paul''': ...Oh.
--> '''Carl''': [[LampshadeHanging I don't understand how you keep forgetting that.]]

--> '''Carl''': I do not kill people. That is- that is my ''least'' favorite thing to do.

--> '''Carl''': [[NeverMyFault I'm not responsible for this, I've been jamming on the saxophone all morning.]]
--> '''Paul''': They're clearly your hoofprints, Carl.
--> '''Carl''': [[InsaneTrollLogic Then there is an imposter on the loose!]]
--> '''Paul''': They lead directly to you!
--> '''Carl''': [[LogicalFallacies Clue #1: The imposter is a]] ''[[LogicalFallacies phantom!]]''

--> '''Paul''': Tell me, Carl, ''exactly'' what you were doing before I got home!
--> '''Carl''': Alright, well... I - I was upstairs...
--> '''Paul''': Okay.
--> '''Carl''': I was, uh, I was sitting in my room...
--> '''Paul''': Yes?
--> '''Carl''': Reading a book...
--> '''Paul''': Go on.
--> '''Carl''': And, uh, well, this guy walked in...
--> '''Paul''': Okay...
--> '''Carl''': So I went up to him...
--> '''Paul''': Yes?
--> '''Carl''': And I, uh, I stabbed him 37 times in the chest.
--> ''[{{Beat}}]''
--> '''Paul''': ''[[RunningGag Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl]], that kills people!''

* BreatherEpisode: Horribly, '''horribly''' subverted with Episode 4. [[spoiler: Amusingly Episode 5 could be viewed as this, which is even lampshaded by Paul.]]
* BrickJoke: [[spoiler:In Episode 6, Carl finishes the meat dragon he mentioned he was working on in Episode 3.]]
-->'''Paul''' [[spoiler:Did you finish your Meat Dragon, Carl?]]
-->'''Carl:''' ...''Maybe''...
-->'''Paul:''' [[spoiler:''(sigh)'' It's horrifying, Carl.]]
-->'''Carl:''' ...[[spoiler:Thank you.]]

-->'''Paul:''' Why would you think ''any'' of this was a good idea?
-->'''Carl:''' Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.
-->'''Paul:''' ... Oh.
-->'''Carl:''' [[SanityBall I]] ''[[SanityBall don't]]'' [[SanityBall understand how you keep forgetting that.]]

** One of Carl's nieghbours, Mrs Bigsby, was BuriedAlive by Carl because she didn't keep up with weeding her garden.

--> '''Paul''': ...CAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRL!
--> '''Carl''': Happy birth''daaay~!''

* EvilIsPetty: Don't hog the Crescent Rolls--if you want to live.

--> '''Carl''': I'll have to try harder next time.
** As well as the music at the end of Episode Six being a semi-tone lower. [[spoiler: And then slightly distorted in the next episode. And more distorted in the next. And the next, almost as if the show were decaying.]]

--> '''Paul''': How did you even ''do'' this?

-->'''Carl''': How did I even do this?
-->'''Paul''': I don't understand how or why you do anything.

--> '''Paul''': I can't go anywhere with you, Carl.
--> '''Carl''': That hurt my feelings. Now we're ''both'' in the wrong.

-->'''Paul''': I literally never see you move!
-->'''Carl''': Now that you mention it, I never see you move either.
-->'''Paul''': Oh my god, you're totally right!
-->'''Carl''': This is really strange.
-->'''Paul''': I can't move anything except my mouth and my eyes!
* MattressTagGag: Carl blames a [[spoiler: nuclear explosion]] on him ripping the tag from a mattress. That, or fairy dust.

-->'''Carl:''' Well you know. Whitey's gotta pay. And the payment is baby hands.
* MonsterRoommate: Yes, Paul is very annoyed that Carl is a psychopathic monster who destroys people, ships, and countries when they're on vacation. [[spoiler: In episode 6 he finally has enough and decides to leave.]]

--> '''Paul''': You know what? Forget it. I'm not even shocked anymore.
--> '''Carl''': Aww, ''that's'' no fun!
--> '''Paul''': This has become the ''norm'' for you, Carl!

---> '''Carl''' : Fine. [[spoiler: I may have created a crack in space time, through which to collect millions of baby hands.]]
---> '''Paul''': Huh.
---> '''Carl''': What do you mean, "huh"?
---> '''Paul''': I think I was expecting worse.
---> '''Carl''': Worse? But this is totally fudged, bro.

--> '''Carl''': Shhhh... do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness.
--> '''Paul''': That's the sound of people drowning, Carl.
--> '''Carl''': That's what forgiveness sounds like, screaming and then silence.

-->'''Carl:''' I appear to have swallowed an entire person.
-->'''Paul:''' That would be the hotel bartender.
-->'''Carl:''' Well, that explains why my mojito was taking so long.
-->'''Paul:''' It was horrifying. Your mouth unhinged like a snake.

-->'''Carl:''' Oh. I thought you were a woman.
-->'''Paul:''' Why would you think that?
-->'''Carl:''' Mostly the hat.

-->'''Carl:''' Are you sure?
-->'''Paul:''' Of course I'm sure.
-->'''Carl:''' Well, if you'll excuse me [[{{Squick}} I have some pictures to delete from my computer.]]

* VillainsOutShopping: Carl will try to play off almost ''anything'' as normal, then admit to it... but it sounds like he was telling the truth about his activities of the day in episode 5. He just neglected to mention the rift in space-time he "may have" opened.

* SequelEscalation: In the first video, Carl killed one person ([[AssholeVictim an implied trespasser,]] it must be admitted). In the fourth, he [[spoiler: nukes an entire city]]. Lampshaded and subverted in the fifth, where Paul notes that after that, Carl [[spoiler: stealing baby hands through a rip in spacetime is comparatively minor.]] [[spoiler: By the end of the series, Carl's actions have seemingly ''wiped out all life on earth.'']]

* EverythingsBetterWithLlamas: "With the added comfort of hats".

The original series featured two llamas, both wearing [[NiceHat hats]]. One of them (the sane and logical [[StraightMan Paul]]) accuses the other (the murderous and in-denial [[TheSociopath Carl]]) of committing a monstrous crime. Carl's crimes become more grandiose with each episode. A fifth episode was planned, but cancelled when fans easily predicted the joke.

* ReplacementGoldfish: Episode 7 sees Paul replaced by a sheep (in a Paul mask, no less!) that despite lacking the ability to speak can still hold the same sort of conversation with Carl.

* KillThemAll: By the end of the series,[[spoiler: everyone on earth, including Carl and Paul,die.]]
