Web Animation / STBlackST

Today, we're gonna make some sex.

What the fuck?!

—Many characters, most notably RED Soldier and Miss Pauling

STBlackST (aka Victor) is a Ukrainian YouTube animator best known for making machinima videos featuring characters from Team Fortress 2. Black's videos are prominently made in Garry's Mod, but with their visual quality and special effects, they could be easily mistaken for something made with Source Filmmaker. While Black's videos commonly utilize a Random Events Plot with plenty of humor, his recent videos follow a loose narrative called Unusual Troubles.

Now it's has a funny and awesome moments pages that is currently under construction. Feel free to edit it.

---

Tropes that appear in his videos:

• Action Girl: Miss Pauling.
• Adaptational Villainy: RED Spy is the main "antagonist" for Extraordinary Weekend.
• Animation Bump: Dance sequences are usually animated in Source Filmmaker instead of Garry's Mod.
  • His take on Push Me Boom Boom and You Are a Pirate are entirely made in SFM.
• Artistic License – Law: In RED Team's Euro Trip - Part 2, after arriving in Paris, the Soldier and the Spy deny the Scout drinks because he's not 21, despite the lack of legal drinking age in France, as well as the legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages being 18 years old in France. And even then, the Scout is canonically at least 23 years old.
• Author Appeal: He is a Touhou Project and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fan and references to the series make their way into his videos:
  • One of his earlier videos, Pootis birds strike back, takes place on the custom map Hakurei Shrine.
  • Texas Space Program features a sequence where the Heavy is dodging the Soldier's (actually the BLU Spy's) rockets in a Touhou-like fashion, set to a remix of a song from Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith. Later, in Extraordinary Weekend, he does something similar set to a remix of Riverside View.
  • Aside from this, Touhou songs often creep into other videos, invariably leading to things like lines from those videos appearing in the comments sections of uploads of those songs.
  • Casual Misadventures has Soldier trying to shoot a TF2 version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, only for the camera they're using to run out of battery.
  • RED Team's Euro Trip has one scene where Soldier watches a TV show with an intro reminiscent to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable.
• Badass Boast: Soldier performs a humorous one in Soldier Is Trying To Capture France when he vows to get revenge on France, after the BLU Spy stabs him while watching TV. It's punctuated by the background changing to the Stars & Stripes and "The Star-Spangled Banner" playing out of nowhere.
  Soldier: I am American! I am Soldier! I will capture my France! (salutes) GOD BLESS AAAAMERICAAAAA!
• Bad Future: Hinted at in Extremely Unusual Troubles, and confirmed as of Catastrophically Unusual Troubles. By the year 2075, the Space Cakes have taken over at least part of the world, and are implied to have conquered multiple star systems already; the situation is desperate enough that the future RED Team must resort to sending the Soldier back in time to recruit American Boot to help them.
• Black Comedy Rape: Typically whenever sex is made.
• Brain Bleach: Extremely Unusual Troubles has Scout repeatedly downing cups of this (provided by Demoman) after watching Soldier...spinning his rockets round and round, so to speak.
• Brick Joke: Merasmus frequently threatens to run over people with Cadillacs. Come RED Team's Euro Trip, there's a TV ad for Cadillac Kingdom, Merasmus' car dealership.
  • In "Soldier's Day Off - Part 1", Solider was seen sleeping after reading a MYSTERY OF PRISON CELL magazine, which implies to contain instructions on "How to escape from the jail with grenade in your asshole!". Soldier then put the knowledge to use in "Friday Troubles" to escape from prison after his entire team has been arrested.
• Butt-Monkey: In a literal application of this trope, every time Tracer or Widowmaker appear on-screen, expect them to be subjected to butt-related shenanigans.
• Call-Back: In Soldier is Trying to Capture France, when Soldier finally gets to France, a BLU Spy de-cloaks on his back with a cry of "Ooh! Handsome Soldier!" leading to him being dogpiled by BLU Spies and a shirtless BLU Demoman. When Merasmus sends BLU Scout to France in BLU Team's Unusual Day, it turns out to be entirely populated by Spies (albeit RED ones this time), and indeed, one of them comments "Ooh! Handsome Scout!" not long before another one backstabs him.
• Calvinball: The characters often play tabletop games that are bizarre mixes of cards, chess, Monopoly, roulette, etc.
• Car Fu: One of Merasmus' many tricks is simply ramming someone with his Cadillac, provided Soldier doesn't carjack him.
• Canon Welding: Since the start of Unusual Troubles, more and more elements from otherwise distinct episodes have begun to appear in multiple videos. Unusual Troubles and Saturday's Troubles even have direct sequels.
• Caught with Your Pants Down: Sniper in Everyday Routine.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • Merasmus has "Fuck you!"
  • Heavy has "Is nice" when pointing out the death or minor inconvenience of...well, anyone really.
  • American Boot/RED Soldier has "I will not tolerate this crap!", "What the fuck?!" and "Painis."
• Christmas Episode: This video, in which Heavy sees Gaben delivering presents a la Santa Claus, then has Engineer use a sentry gun to shoot the Valve CEO's sled down so that Heavy can receive his gifts.
• Continuity Nod: Extremely Unusual Troubles is a direct sequel to Very Unusual Troubles, which is a direct sequel to Unusual Troubles.
  • Catastrophically Unusual Troubles follows up on this with cameos and set pieces from several of ST's previous videos.
  • RED Soldier can transform into a foot in later videos.
  • Most videos since Miss Pauling turns into the briefcase follow the same narrative, called Unusual Troubles. Unusual Troubles proper was released a year later than the aforementioned video.
  • Just before Death Machine shows up in Unusual Troubles, there is a quick shot of an opened Engineer toolbox on the ground; Death Machine's first appearance ended in him being captured in a toolbox by Engineer's weird recursive spacetime manipulation powers. The Stinger to Blue Team's Unusual Day, which serves as the prequel to Unusual Troubles, shows him escaping the box.
  • In one video, Merasmus calls American Boot that he hired the Russian Mafia to break his legs. In the latest video, Soldier's Day Off, lo and behold, the Russian Mafia was there in his house to do the deed. (Soldier was smart enough to remember the warning and close the door to the room he found them in before anyone recognized him)
• Cool Shades: Merasmus is frequently seen wearing the Summer Shades.
• Cool Train: The RED Engineer's Texan Pain Train Express is a train that can go anywhere without rails, travels extremely fast, is capable of drifting, can apparently use bacon as a Nitro Boost, and is capable of separating its cars and relinking in order to dodge rocket fire. Not to be outdone, the BLU Spy's Snort Railway train is outfitted with Sentries that cause the aforementioned rocket fire.
• Crack is LSD: Whatever is in the small health kits, though it consistently seems to be crack.
• Cranium Chase: Not the cranium, per se, but a disembodied Sniper directs his body to capture a control point in a similar fashion.
• Curse Cut Short: American Boot in Very Unusual Troubles, when the gas pump that's refueling the Cadillac he stole from Merasmus malfunctions & causes the car to catch fire:
  American Boot: "Son of a..." (car explodes)
  • American Boot again in Competitive Misadventures, when told his forklift license has expired:
  American Boot: "Wait, what the fu..." (forklift explodes)
• Death Is Cheap: Many times a character will die, only to be revived (usually with a Fantastic Drug) within seconds.
• Deranged Animation: Incredibly common, enough to make you believe that you are high on drugs. If there are plenty of underscores in the title then this trope applies in spades.
• Disproportionate Retribution: American Boot calls in an eagle to attack & carry away Heavy just for pointing out the obvious in Soldier's Day Off.
• Dissonant Serenity: Apparently, anytime someone dies or is in peril on any of the teams, Heavy points this out...then smiles and declares "is nice."
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: At one point in "RED Team goes to Japan", Soldier and heavy are looking at bunnies, and Soldier appears to be beating his meat to them. Put it together and what do you get?
• Dragon Their Feet: The Heavy Phone appears to be doing this for Mecha Medic, being behind several acts like freeing the Mecha Spies from the toolbox.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Most of his videos from 2010-2012 are Voice Clip Songs or animated dubs made in Source Filmmaker.
  • The Spy Brothers are RED during their first appearance in “Miss Pauling turns into the briefcase”; all future appearances depict them as BLU. (Of course, it might not actually be the same Spies.)
• Enemy Mine: In the climax of "Infinite Unusual Troubles", the RED Team briefly teams up with Mr. Baguette to battle Master Cake and his possessed BLU Soldier.
• Eye Scream: Medic shoots a syringe into Scout's eye in Texan Space Program when Scout won't let him take a crap in peace.
• Fantastic Drug: "I CAN FEEL MISS PAULING COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS!"
  • Extremely Unusual Troubles features several in the Medic's cabinet, including "Demoman's Dried Balls", "Unicorn Semen", "Canadian Cocaine", and "The Good Stuff".
• Fire-Breathing Diner: Cakes, of all things, fresh off the pan, do this to a RED Engineer.
• Fluffy Cloud Heaven: After getting backstabbed by the Parisian Spies in BLU Team's Unusual Day, Scout gets sent to one, where it's populated by seraphim Scouts dancing with giant cans of BONK, there are pillars of BONK adorning the place, it plays a BONK-ified remix of "The Blue Danube" all day and a winged, crown-wearing Scout rules as God. Then said God Scout gives regular Scout a magic clock, while the seraphim Scouts (and one Spy) salute the procession and God Scout BONK's regular Scout back to the mortal realm.
• Forced Transformation:
  • Miss Pauling becomes a TV, a drug, the Briefcase and a Sentry.
  • BLU Demoman is turned into a giant beer bottle that can fly in Extraordinary Weekend.
• Formula-Breaking Episode: ''The Broken Sky'', a ten-minute spy thriller done in Garry's Mod. Most videos released around this time were quick gags and usually done in Source Filmmaker.
• Freeze-Frame Bonus: The death screens in several videos among others. For at least one example:
  • The answers to "What the fuck, Soldier?" in Extremely Unusual Troubles's quiz show segment are
  A: Damn Hippies
  B: Buff the Bison
  C: Painis (correct)
  D: Pyro is W+M1
  • In "Catastrophically Unusual Troubles", as the future Soldier is about to go back in time, you can see Archimedes fly into the core of the time machine; the bird later emerges during the climax to heal American Boot after his fight with Master Cake.
• Funny Background Event: Most of the newer videos will usually have someone dancing or standing around in almost every shot.
  • There are a lot of tiny background gags that happen.
  • And then there's this...
  • This particular smexual takes it to extremes, with STBlackST daring his viewers to find all the hidden gags with at least one per scene ^note In order of appearance, discounting the nods to his other videos, wooden cutouts of team members, cows and rubber ducks, Meme Man saying "SUCC", a dong-shaped baseball bat and balls, "DONG" tagged on a wall, Weegee, Jarate jars spelling "PISS" and "PINISS", the hanged Spy from Heavy is Dead, Obama's face on an Illuminati pyramid, letters spelling "CUM", the King of Hyrule, "Where is Half-Life 3?" tagged on a wall, a motorcycle burning, Ricardo Milos dancing, the DeLorean, a Nekopara poster, Soldier talking to Merasmus using Doctor Strange's portal, "MERASMUS DID 7/11" tagged on a wall, Scout and Miss Pauling doing the Trumpet Boy meme, a tombstone saying "BIKE", the Goose, Spy about to hit Steve? with a Diamond Pickaxe and later a Minecraft dog, The DeLorean DMC-12 time machine, Shrek, Engineer shooting Tracer, Hank Hill and a propane tank, a T-posing pickle, Doge, Big Chungus, Pepsiman, a Reaper, Alyx Vance playing with a VR headset while Gordon Freeman looks at her puzzled, a "MANN COC" sign, letters spelling "BALLS", "NUTS" and "NO INTELLIGENCE", STBlackST setting up props, the "It's time to stop!" meme, the TARDIS, Daleks and Weeping Angels, a fish running on two legs, letters spellings "U WOT M8", Vagineer, Scout dressed as Sam Porter, Bowsette, Darth Vader, Caesar Zeppeli, Dr Eggman and later Sonic buying drugs from Knuckles, Thanos, 2B, the fake "Guard Dog" class, Mario getting drunk, Deadpool, Spyro, P-Body and Atlas, Toon Link, Kermit the Frog, Big Smoke, Snoop Dogg, Trevor Philipps, a cello, a baguette, letters spelling "SMOL KOK".
• Fun with Subtitles: Usually when the dialogue itself is particularly silly or vulgar. Unusual Troubles also features a particularly clever subtitles gag wherein the Sniper's unintelligible dialogue is translated into actual speech.
• Future Badass: The RED Team in the future is badass enough to have survived 104 years since the first attack of the Cake Engineers, allowing them to develop Time Travel and attempt to uproot the Space Cakes' control at the root. Amusingly subverted when the Future Soldier is killed immediately by one of the Cake Engineers.
• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Heavy does this to American Boot and Engineer in Unusual Daydream thinking they lost their minds, when in reality, they were in the middle of a Stand battle.
• Goldfish Poop Gang: Death Machine is the most recurring enemy for the RED team, yet gets progressively easier to deal with each time, disregarding his surprise appearance during the battle with Master Cake.
• Girl on Girl Is Hot: In the words of Sniper...
  Sniper: You don't see a lot of these... (Proceeds to unzip pants)
• Goomba Stomp: Soldier kills Sombra this way in 'BLU Team's Unusual Day,'' which leaves her corpse open for robbing by a nearby Spy.
  Soldier: This American boot just kicked your American ass back to American Canada! Because America!
• Gravity Screw: Happens several times in Everyday Routine.
• Groin Attack: Done to Soldier on multiple occasions by Miss Pauling, but goes to ridiculous levels in "Casual Misadventures" where he is kicked so hard his testicles explode and he instantly dies.
• Heroic Second Wind: RED Soldier almost gets defeated during the final battle of "Endless Unusual Troubles" before he has a flashback to his childhood and remembers the sage advice of his father, causing him to regain his strength and defeat the space cake.
  Soldier's Father: Son, always remember: dying is gay.
• His Name Really Is "Barkeep": RED Soldier calling himself "American Boot" isn't a joke, it's his real name.
• Hollywood Hacking: Apparently, Sombra can hack free-floating medkits. Not that it helps her prevent getting her head stomped in by Soldier, but still.
• Human Mail: In "RED Team goes to Japan", Scout, Spy, Soldier and Heavy travel to Japan by packing themselves in a crate. One of the Pyros comment that's its "heavy af". Subverted in that Merasmus changes the delivery address to Canada at the last minute. Upon realizing this, Soldier hijacks the plane and flies it to Japan.
• The Internet Is for Porn: And Engineer is distraught when it is deleted from his computer in DerpFort.
• Invisible to Normals: Unusual Daydream features a brief Stand battle between Soldier and Engineer. The Heavy watching them only sees the two of them pointing and screaming at each other.
• Jiggle Physics: Used to good effect in You Are a Pirate.
• Knight of Cerebus: Downplayed example. While the Space Cakes from Catastrophically Unusual Troubles are still treated as rather comical, they still led to the creation of a gritty Bad Future until Soldier's intervention. Master Cake is a straight example due of his particular threatens The End of the World as We Know It and that fact, what he come the closest to winning out of all the other villains.
• Laser-Guided Karma:
  • Heavy knocks Scout to his death for calling him a "fat bastard" in Not So Magical Events. Because of this, Engineer refuses to build a dispenser for him. Then, Engineer is hit by the Your Eternal Reward of the hatless Hat Spy Brother, who does make the Heavy a dispenser, in the sense of assembling one around him.
  • Anyone who antagonize the RED Team (especially American Boot) will suffer a painful and humiliating defeat.
• Left the Background Music On: Spy demonstrates his abilities as a "Baguette Master" by commanding several baguettes to perform tricks in RED Team Goes To Japan. After bowing and saying "Thank you" to the audience for some time, the camera cuts to Demoman sleeping and holding a radio playing the sounds of an audience clapping. Spy promptly throws a baguette at him to stop the radio playing, which also stops the music.
• Literal-Minded: Soldier takes a disgusted Spy's shout of "What the fuck, Soldier?!" as an actual question. As in a question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. And Soldier even wins! Temporarily, anyway.
• LOL, 69: Often pops up in the background as an Inherently Funny Word.
• Losing Your Head: Sniper's fate in Everyday Routine.
• The Man Behind the Man: The Heavy Phone was directly responsible for unleashing the Spy Brothers (and possibly the Ninja Scout as well); he finally takes the spotlight of Big Bad during “Extremely Unusual Troubles”…at least, until the Space Cakes show up.
• MacGuffin: Soldier's Day off: Part 3 introduces the Cubes of Interstellar Stability, which have incredible powers. The blue Cube of Reality Seal was given to the most ambitious space travellers (which includes Master Cake), the red Cube of Battle Honor was given to the bravest warriors of planet Earth (including American Boot's father), and the yellow Cube of Intelligence Spark was given to the Germans (nobody knows why). In the same episode, Death Machine reveals that he somehow got his hands on the yellow cube, though his attempt at making himself invincible with it backfires when RED Team just send him flying into the horizon to get rid of him.
• Mind Screw: How Engineer uses his toolbox.
  • "You live in my suit."
• Mini-Mecha: Heavy Phone/Mecha Heavy pilots one for his battle in Extremely Unusual Troubles. Engie also gets to remote-control a similar one in the second assault against Master Cake's fortress.
• Mundane Made Awesome: Being forklift certified never looked so awesome.
• Mushroom Samba: Happens when you take 'good stuff'.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Death Machine.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
  • RED Demoman pulls the plug that was apparently powering the entire map in Not So Magical Events. Soldier and the hatless Spy Brother are not pleased, with the Spy commenting "Fine job."
  • The entire Space Cakes Arc can be avoided entirely all together if Soldier/American Boot never screwing with the timeline.
• Not Quite Dead: Turns out that Mecha Medic is still alive. However, because the Mecha Spies took him apart, he's now rendered a head atop a cupcake.
  • Master Cake is also revealed to be alive in Summer Day.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In Amazing Midday a spy can be seen sneaking up on Medic only for him to lie dead with an Ubersaw in his back in the next shot with Medic seemingly not even having registered he was there.
• Off with His Head!: American Boot kicks off Master Cake's head to defeat him. When it turns out he's still alive, he shoots him with a shotgun.
• Organ Theft: Spy steals Demoman's liver in Morning Events.
• Out of Focus: Pyro tends to make incidental appearances at best, which is a running theme with non-STBlackST GMod animations as well. The inability to Quote Mine Pyro's voice lines leading to their disuse is lampshaded in stu_pidface's_whimsical_shenanigans.pie:
  Soldier: "Everyone is here! [...] Oh, wait. Where's Pyro?"
  Engineer: "Pyro is hard to make funny."
• Overly Long Gag:
  • American Boot telling Scout & Spy a "secret" in Soldier's Day Off. It takes him a full two days to finish telling them about it.
  • In Not so Magical Events, American Boot takes back his Dr's Dapper Topper. The BLU Spy insults him, and American Boot shoots him dead. The BLU Spy uses the Dead Ringer and backstabs American Boot, who uses the Dead Ringer to shoot the BLU Spy, and the cycle repeats. The Demoman pulls the plug, and the cartoon ends with everyone flying in space.
• Overly-Long Tongue: Pauling.
• Papa Wolf: Spy towards Scout.
• Portal Cut: Painis Cupcake loses an arm while pointing out of a computer monitor that Engineer turns off.
• Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: Medic says one to Scout in one of the smexual animations that STBLackST made.
  Medic: Prepare for your assassination!
• Random Events Plot: Most videos don't bother with an actual plot, usually just having a string of random events happen. That said, some continuity indeed exists within and across videos, especially since Everyday Routine.
• Rhetorical Question Blunder: After watching Soldier's vulgar display of groinal rocket spinning, Spy Dope Slap's him and asks in disgust: "What the fuck, Soldier?!" which then teleports them into Who Wants To Be A Millionaire where the rhetorical question becomes a quiz show question...which Soldier wins! By guessing "Painis" no less! And as a result, Spy is forced to give Soldier the money...and then wins it right back in a high stakes poker game.
• Running Gag: Many. For example:
  • A shirtless BLU Demoman in the background of almost every video.
  • Blue Screens of Death with goofy messages.
  • Soldier opening Mann Co. Supply Crates and being obsessed with his massive inventory.
  • Pyro dying incidentally, usually because of American Boot screwing around.
  • Books with goofy titles, implied to be written by Merasmus.
  • Limbs (especially American Boot's) coming from off-screen in anatomically impossible ways—such as when American Boot scratches his butt and pours himself coffee in Soldier's Magnificent Adventure.
  • Characters being transformed unwillingly into various objects, especially drugs.
  • Earthquake attacks during RPG battles.
  • "Son, always remember, [insert piece of advice for American Boot]."
• Save Scumming: Soldier does this in Extremely Unusual Troubles to avoid his past death in Spy is a Troublemaker. This time, he has a shotgun and lays waste to the boot-stealing Demo, Spy-bird AND Merasmus, preventing the wizard's hasty retreat.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
  • Anything going wrong leads to Merasmus declaring "Alright, I'm leaving now!" and doing just that.
  • In "Casual Misadventures," Soldier's revealing of his Stand prompts Blu Spy to calmly exit the server. Soldier himself storms off in response to the boss fight against the Vacuumroo at the end of the video.
  Soldier: Fuck this! Fuck you! Fuck everything!
  • In Unusual Daydream, Heavy pulls this when he sees Captain Heavy's flying ship. The Summer Hat Brothers also does this after the Octoberfest attack.
• Self-Duplication: The Mecha Spies might be a case of this, as the one with the Summer Hat makes his first appearance by sliding out of the hatless one.
• Shout-Out
  • Several Sudden Video Game Moments are inspired by Touhou Project and Pokémon.
  • Some of Scout's lines are taken from his actor's YouTube channel, which themselves are shout-outs to various memes.
  • Death Machine will sometimes use Genji's play of the game animations when he makes himself known.
  • Extremely Unusual Troubles has Soldier, Spy and Scout pull off picture-perfect JoJo poses as they square off against Mecha Heavy. The same video has Medic go through a complicated process of turning Scout back to normal, one of which has him sprinkling Good Stuff into a bucket in the exact same manner as Gökçe the Salt Bae, sunglasses and all.
  • The same video also has Soldier...spinning his rockets around in a phallic fashion til a disgusted Spy Dope Slap's him and asks, "What the fuck, Soldier?!"...segueing into a parody of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
  • The JoJo references are taken further in "Casual Misadventures," which starts with a parody of the second opening, "Bloody Stream", and never really slows down.
  • Very Unusual Troubles has Soldier drifting into the wilderness in Merasmus' Cadillac to the tune of "Deja Vu" and an RPG fight between the BLU Mecha-Spies and the RED Team (Spy, Soldier and Miss Pauling) set to the tune of "Blinded by Light".
  • Catastrophically Unusual Troubles has Ninja Scout finishing off American Boot using Deadshot's super from Injustice 2.
  • Similar to the above, Soldier finishes off Captain Scout in Bizarre Afternoon using Bane's Injustice 2 super.
  • When Merasmus asks Soldier for his pants in Sunday Troubles, Soldier responds with Rohan's "I refuse".
  • In Summer Day, Spy interrupts Heavy and Soldier's argument with a dance in a fedora, referencing Dante's legendary dance sequence from Devil May Cry 5. It's even the same music!
  • The above is then followed up by Demo saying "Ah, cripe. Here we go again", and dancing like Ricardo Milos.
  • Some things in STBlackST's videos are taken from this smexual, including Merasmus' constant mentioning of "Cadillac", "Mystery of the shrunken cock" appearing on a magazine, and another magazine having the text "I am time traveling with grenade in my asshole".
  • In Soldier's Day Off - Part 2, Soldier's request of the DominoZ Engie to "Give me your crap!" is met with a brief scene of the Engie wearing a pork pie hat while he and Soldier cook a batch of blue meth.
  • In "Infinite Unusual Troubles", Spy has an invisible car.
  • At the end of Summer Day, Master Cake and his Soldier recite the famous: "Prepare for a trouble and make it double".
  • Competitive Misadventures has a two in one with a Sudden Video-Game Moment inspired by Super Mario 64 while the objective states "Find "Omelette Du Fromage"".
• Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks: American Boot & RED Spy take a moment to sing and dance to "Baby Got Back."
• Stupid Sexy Flanders: Demoman in Summer Day, breaking into a dance number out of the blue, much to Soldier's dismay.
  Soldier: Stop making me horny!
  Demoman: Sorry!
• Sudden Video-Game Moment: The final battles in the Unusual Troubles series, as well as the occasional Touhou Project-style battle scene.
• Surreal Humor: The foundation of his animations.
• Stylistic Suck: The smexuals, in full tradition.

• The Bus Came Back: After a long absence caused by a malfunction of Scout's time-travelling ability, the Mecha Heavy finally returns to prominence, starting with Death Machine being sent on a mission to retrieve him.
• Time Travel: Prominently used in the series' story arcs, as well as being one of the Time-Bending Scout's abilities.
• Timey-Wimey Ball: Some fighters can reality warp as an attack, which has various results. Interfering with this attack causes some unwanted Time Travel.
• Title Drop: RED Spy in the first few seconds of Magnificent Morning.
• Toon Physics: A staple feature of videos on this channel, as reality often decides to go out for lunch.
• Training Montage: BLU Scout gets one in BLU Team's Unusual Day so he can kick Merasmus' ass. Sadly, it doesn't work, as no amount of training can avail him against a master of arcane magic.
• Unusual Euphemism: "I'm going to fuck you like fat Scottish dick unicorn!"
  • A recurring joke with Soldier in the Unusual Troubles series:
    "You are the worst drunk, Russian, Scottish, Canadian, cum-sucking, cupcake fucking, magical painis casting maggots!"
    "This is chess game, not a Scottish gay robot tea party!
    "Let's dance like a girl with passion for Russian tea, Scottish dress, and American painis!"
• Wine Is Classy:
  • Soldier invokes this in "Not so Magical Events" in order to catch Spy.
  • BLU Team's Unusual Day has a BLU Scout golf-clubbed into a party of Parisian RED Spies, some of which are admiring a vintage bottle of 1942 Chateau Backstab. "Magnificent!" "Indeed!"
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The series is mostly shows random bizarre adventure and stuff, than the Space Cakes shows up and the series become extremely serious since then.

• Yank the Dog's Chain: Poor Scout in BLU Team's Unusual Day. After coming back from the dead and FINALLY defeating Merasmus and forcing the wizard into retreat, Scout's reward is...Administrator scrambling the teams and putting him on RED, so now he's in the crosshairs of BLU.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: The fate of Mecha Heavy after getting thrown across time with American Boot is to this date unknown.
