* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Being both high strung and a chain smoker, Angry Grandpa is prone to this. A good example of this is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPQIuStVgoo Angry Grandpa's Still Married! PRANK!]]'', in which he smokes in practically every scene he's in. This tendency is {{exploited}} in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QKsBF50kOM Angry Grandpa Lighter Fluid Prank Backfires]]''. Jennifer makes Grandpa want to smoke a cigarette by blowing smoke in his face and telling him she lost her job.

* ElvisImpersonator: Angry Grandpa is forced to do this as part of a prank in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03iRhOkojFw ELVIS AND THE CLOWN! (150,000 Subscribers!)]]'', despite his hate for Elvis.

* AnAesop: The series of videos in which Grandpa deals with being evicted from his Trailwood trailer by Boeing (such as ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6NPnDaFfKI Angry Grandpa Says Goodbye...]]'' becomes a commentary on how low-income communities are powerless against large corporations who want to build on their land.

* SodaCandySplosion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9u6jBt8_E0 Diet Coke & Mentos Explosion!]] has Grandpa being challenged to hold his face over a bottle of Diet Coke while dropping a handful of Mentos in. He only lasts a single second, and goes into one of his typical rages afterward. He later gets sprayed with the same while he's distracted.

* BattleStrip: Angry Grandpa has done this multiple times, most notably in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9u6jBt8_E0 Diet Coke & Mentos Explosion!]]'', after being sprayed with a Diet Coke + Mentos geyser.

* SodaCandySplosion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9u6jBt8_E0 Diet Coke & Mentos Explosion!]] has the titular Grandpa being challenged to hold his face over a bottle of Diet Coke while dropping a handful of Mentos in. He only lasts a single second, and goes into one of his typical rages afterward. He later gets sprayed with the same while he's distracted.

* SleepParalysisCreature: Grandpa claims to have been attacked in his sleep multiple times by a being known as "The Hag," describing the experience as where "you can't move, can't breathe, can't shit." He also explains that the only way to get rid of her is by [[WeaksauceWeakness cussing her out]].

* OneSteveLimit: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Tina Green (Grandpa's ex-wife) and Tina Sharp (Grandpa's neighbor).

* {{Corpsing}}: Michael cracks up when trying to play dead after faking convulsions and foaming at the mouth in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukNRfSZWTTY GRANDPA KILLS PICKLEBOY!! (PRANK)]]''

* KansasCityShuffle: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i776ijBuzWA BRIDGETTE'S UNO FREAKOUT!!]]'', Pickleboy leans the camera over to Bridgette's cards, and Bridgette admonishes him, thinking he's cheating by looking at her cards. It later turns out that he ''was'' cheating, but was actually pocketing the good cards instead of peeking at Bridgette's cards.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Several prank videos play the instrumental version of ''Habanera'' (also known as ''L'amour est un oiseau rebelle''), an aria from Georges Bizet's 1875 opera ''Theatre/{{Carmen}}'' in the background as they set up the prank.

** Michael ''[[AHomeownerIsYou bought]]'' a house (with a huge backyard and pool at that!) for Angry Grandpa as a means to not just get him out of the trailer park, but to make amends with him after all the things that happened between them. Come few episodes, Angry Grandpa ''wrecks the pool'', decides to live in a tent, and destroys the deck in the backyard to make firewood '''[[WhatAnIdiot despite the backyard being surrounded by trees]]'''.

* JustPenniesADay: Grandpa in ''[[https://youtu.be/ZgShHwatI0Q?t=271 Angry Grandpa - Lights Out - Part 1]]'' parodies this when calling out his wife for not paying the light bill.

* HollywoodHeartAttack: Justified: Angry Grandpa will occasionally pretend to have one of these as revenge against Michael for pranking him, complete with complaints of shoulder pain and collapsing. This trick has worked several times, as Grandpa dying is an AdultFear of Michael.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Michael's reaction to getting pranked is sometimes this.
* AgitatedItemStomping: occasionally appears during his destruction videos.

* GoodParents: "I may be a fucking asshole piece of shit, but I love my kids! I'd ''never'' hurt 'em!" He's repeatedly expressed a desire to see Casey Anthony die due to this philosophy, and also is dumbstruck by the Newtown Elementary School shooting because that meant that, for the parents of the victims, "Christmas won't ever be right again."

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Angry Grandpa may have a HairTriggerTemper and swears too much, but he still loves his kids and grandkids. Seeing news reports of children getting hurt or killed (such as with Casey Anthony or the Sandy Hook terrorist attack) sends him into a particular rage at the perpetrators.

'''The Angry Grandpa''' was a series of Website/YouTube videos featuring Charles "The Angry Grandpa" Green getting violently angry about minor annoyances. The videos often featured Grandpa destroying various items in his house for minor inconveniences (such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D53zPOfeZnU the time he destroyed his entire kitchen when he misplaced his candy]]), as well as his son Michael "Pickleboy" Green (who also acts as the cameraman) playing pranks on him. Sadly, Charles died on December 10, 2017.

* HappyEndingOverride: Watch the videos where Grandpa is happy and teary eyed about getting a home, hugging Michael and telling him he loves him with all of his heart. Then realize that in the next few months, he and Pickleboy will have several more major disputes, including one in which he refused to live in said house just to spite Michael for freaking out about Grandpa backing into the back yard pool.
