* MarriageOfConvenience: Married Tank primarily because he was the best option for her, being a wealthy man willing to court a poor girl like herself, rather than marry someone just as penniless as her. It backfired when his kids treated her as an outsider.



* ICanSeeDeadPeople: Oddly, Tank is the only one of the family who can see and interact with Ghost Lady, without having to die first. He doesn't seem too fazed to be talking to a ghost, however.

* UptownGirl: Fell in-love with the lower-class and struggling Courtney for the ambition and spark she had in spite of her misfortune. Unfortunately, his kids didn't see it the same way, and treated Courtney as an outsider, and for Courtney's part, it was more of a MarriageOfConvenience.

* BigShutUp: After sitting through Courtney's MotiveRant and hearing her insult their family, Berry just tells her to ''SHUT UP.''
* IllKillYou: Berry threatens Courtney with a ''very'' violent death; she also tells Jack that if he doesn't stop ruining the funeral, she will ''end his life''.
--> "I WILL BURN YOU ALIVE! I WILL PICK OUT YOUR BRAIN AND EAT IT! I WILL TIE YOUR HEAD TO THE BACK OF A TRAIN, I'M GONNA ROLL THROUGH TOWN, DRAGGING YOUR SKULL, AND THEN I'LL CRACK IT OPEN IN THE CENTER OF TOWN ON TROOL DAY!"




to:

* SuddenlyShouting: When confronting Courtney, Berry loses her cool and starts ''screaming'' at her, shifting repeatedly from calm-to-furious with breaks to take calls.



* ClusterFBomb: Combined with RapidFireShutUp; when his callers keep speaking during his attempt to record something for Tank Mann, Jack becomes ''very'' angry, and repeatedly tells them to "Shut the ''fuck'' up! Shut the fuck up!"



* SuddenlyShouting: Begins yelling at his callers when they won't stop talking during his attempt to record a message for Tank.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Jack expresses his emotions very bluntly, such as telling Berry that when he feels depressed, it makes him sad. When Courtney is bothering him, he yells at her telling her she's making him confused and angry, and then tells "Kate" that their support makes him feel happy again.




to:

* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: States that receiving two letters from Tank very quickly makes him feel confused and surprised.



* BadassBoast: Tells Berry that [[IAmTheNoun "I am the thunder and light that shatters bodies.]] I AM THE KILLER ''SUPREME!''"



* MotiveRant: Courtney responds to Berry's hateful accusations by monolaguing about ''why'' she wanted to take down the company, which included feeling ostracized by the Mann family for not being wealthy, and being pushed down by the company itself when ''she'' was the one who created the battle machines and turned the tide of the warr, rather than Tank.



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Courtney calls out Berry and the rest of the Mann children, calling them spoiled and judgmental, after Berry claims she tried to love Courtney as a mother. It's pointed out that, since Courtney wasn't born rich, they looked at her less like family and more like an obstacle to overcome.



* AmbiguousCriminalBackground: Has apparently gone to jail once, but has never explained what it was he did that got him there.




to:

* SuddenlyShouting:
** On the call with one fan, Frank gets frustrated when they won't answer his question right away, and starts barking the questions at them.
** This exchange happens between Agent Martinez and Frank:
--> '''Martinez''': When do you sleep?
--> '''Frank''': What? What kind of a question is that? I sleep whenever I want, I sleep when I'm ''tired''!
--> '''Martinez''': I see, but the question I'm getting at is, when is the last time you slept?
--> '''Frank''': ''WHO GIVES A DAMN?'' I'm just tryn' to take a walk! People sleep all the time, it's not my responsibility to know, that's gotta be, like, some kinda sleeping person's office or something, I don't know, you work for the government!
* YoureInsane: When Gergiev states he wants to ''kill'' Tank Mann, Frank tells him he's insane, and that his plan won't work.



* AmbiguouslyBi: Agent Martinez appears to have a crush on Berry and gets very happy when female callers tell her she's pretty, even calling one of them "sweet cheeks"; however, she also seems to have a crush on "George Washington", and has accepted a sex proposal from one male caller.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Agent Martinez appears to have a crush on Berry and gets very happy when female callers tell her she's pretty, even calling one of them "sweet cheeks"; however, she also seems to have a crush on "George Washington", and has accepted a sex proposal from one male caller. * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Agent Martinez, who's straight-laced sincerity often leads her to misunderstand what the other characters, and the callers, are trying to tell her. For example, when told that [[spoiler:Jouglat's killer]] was Frank, she spends the rest of the call saying "Frank" repeatedly and comparing his name to hotdogs, apparently forgetting she'd met Frank earlier in the series. She also responded to a caller telling her she had the hots for Berry by saying "Berry Hots... Berry Hots... that sounds like a delicious cereal", and went on another tangent with a caller who told her that Frank is dangerous and could snap bodies:
--> "Snapping bodies? Like peas? Well, I really like snap peas...if he's gonna snap those, then I don't really mind, ya know?"

[[AC:The Mann Family]]

to:

[[AC:The !! The Mann Family]]
family as a whole:

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachother: The Mann children. Quirky as they may be, and all clashing over the course of the story due to their personal struggles, they do sincerely love each other. [[spoiler:Being told Jouglat was dead]] snapped Jack out of his "Jack Prime" state, leading to an emotional monologue where Jack expressed his sincere love for his brother. In the same scene, Berry was struggling to keep everyone respectful during the ceremony, and was incredibly worried during Jack's outburst, telling him that he's not a buff monster, but a sweet boy who paints sweet trains.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Berry is the responsible sibling, to Jouglat and Jack's foolish sibling. While she works hard trying to keep the family from falling apart and tries to act as a moral compass of sorts, Jouglat goes crazy due to his warr obsession, and Jack spirals out of control due to his obsession with his art.
* MissingMom: The family's original mother is never mentioned.
* SanitySlippage: Everyone in the Mann family suffers:
** Jack goes crazy after being infected by Gorgiev, becoming more and more obsessed with his art and creating images of orange phones. When his solo show turns out a disaster, he flips out, destroying everything and proclaiming his hatred for everyone else in his family. His anger drives him to obsessively work out, and he becomes a buff monster named "Jack Prime".
** Jouglat can't get over his time in the warr and thinks about it constantly. He starts to drink and his hair becomes long and unkempt; he reaches the point where he decides to just pack his bags and go back to the warr.
** Courtney spirals out of control due to her personal conflict with Tank Mann and his family, as well as her desire to be beautiful. She starts to drink, covers herself in make-up, has several monologues about her situation, and then bursts into [[spoiler:Jouglat's funeral]] with her face covered in glittery rhinestones.
** Berry spends her time trying to keep the company alive and keep her dysfunctional family together in Tank Mann's absence. After the rest of her family start to become uncontrollable and absorbed in their own personal issues, she starts to lose control as well, reaching the point where she starts screaming at Courtney and threatening to murder her violently.



* AmbiguouslyGay: Knowing that Martinez has a heavily implied crush on Berry, it's also left ambiguous as to whether or not Berry returns the feelings.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Implied: After everything starts to go wrong at [[spoiler:Jouglat's funeral]], Berry gives up on trying to keep everything in line, and just sits on the couch with a drink.
* NiceGuy: Berry is far and away the nicest member of the Mann family, until her work in keeping the family together becomes too much for her; she's even polite to her callers, who she often asks if she can help, and tells one caller that claims to work for Courtney:
--> ''I'd like to confront you face to face! ...And of course offer you cheese cubes...I'm not rude...''
* OnlySaneMan: In a very dysfunctional house filled with very quirky people, Berry stands out as the most level-headed and sane person around, forced to try and keep everyone else in line while also protecting her father's company. This is deconstructed, when her struggle to keep things in order lead to her undergoing a SanitySlippage, to the point where she starts drinking and making death-threats against everyone else.



* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Turns into a grotesque, buff, orange nightmare]].
* CantTakeCriticism: Jack couldn't handle his family not appreciating his art show, becoming utterly enraged with each of them for not liking his work; he even temporarily turned against "Palmer" due to one caller not expressing support for his art.
* HearingVoices: When Gergiev plants an orange tooth in Jack's ear, he begins hearing voices, which becomes the main method of how callers interact with Jack. [[spoiler: During a flashback to Jouglat in the war getting treated for his injuries, he begins hearing callers in his mind, believing to be having an out-of-body experience.]]
* JerkassRealization: After discovering that [[spoiler:Jouglat is dead]], Jack temporarily snaps out of his "Jack Prime" state and admits that he should've been nicer to his brother while he were back from the warr, rather than his stubborn insistence on being angry and caring only about his art show.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jack becomes remorseful for how he treated Jouglat, stating that he shouldn't have cared more about his art and his ego than the fact that his brother was home.
* OneTrackMindedArtist: At the start of the series, Jack is only interested in making paintings of trains. His studio is filled with paintings he'd already finished, and he is seen attempting to make even more, telling a caller that his paintings have to look like trains. However, he later begins to paint orange phones instead, filling his art exhibition with nothing but art of phones.
* PartingWordsRegret: Jack admits he wasn't even able to say goodbye to Jouglat before he left for the warr, being too upset by the news, and eventually got used to the idea that his brother would die a soldier. By the time he returned, Jack was so wrapped up in his art show, he cared more about Jouglat's lack of interest in art than he did about the fact that his brother was actually home again.
* TooUpsetToCreate: Jack starts off as a completely obsessive artist, and though he was [[OneTrackMindedArtist only painting one thing]], his family still had respect for his talent and passion. That is, until his art show, where his chosen subject matter of orange phones sent everyone into a mass, unprovoked, fit of rage. After that, Jack became so angry at everything in his life that he ''destroyed'' his paintings, and lashed out at his family members ''and'' his callers. By the time he became "Jack Prime", his anger had consumed him, and his interest in art was gone.
* TrueCompanions: Jack develops this relationship with his callers, who he believes to be a single person named Palmer [[note]] previously named Katie, but Palmer is the longer-lasting name[[/note]]. He repeatedly calls "Palmer" his best friend, thanking him for being there for him. For the caller's part, they do their best to support Jack in his art, try to calm him down, and even show their loyalty for him by "pledging allegiance" and helping him insult Berry, even when they felt guilty doing so.



* TheAlcoholic: Starts drinking heavily after the warr, to the point where he is constantly wasted, unkepmt and angry right up until he decides to go back to the warr.
* BeardOfSorrow: While suffering from being away from the warr, Jouglat falls into a state of depression, and grows stubble almost overnight, reflecting his mental state.
* GreenEyedMonster: Jouglat starts to crush on Agent Martinez almost as soon as she arrives. Witnessing her share close moments with Berry contributes to his overall mental decline, as he drinks more heavily and goes on bitter rants about how secrets being kept.
* ImportantHaircut: Jouglat chops his hair off messily with scissors when he decides he's going back to the warr. His mental state not doing well, he does it while staring intensely at a mirror, and leaving large chunks behind.
* LiteralMinded: Jouglat asked a caller what to say to make someone like them:
--> '''Caller:''' I would say...be yourself.
--> '''Jouglat:''' Okay, thank you. ''(Hangs up phone).''
--> ''(Jouglat and Agent Martinez stand in silence)''
--> '''Jouglat:''' ...Be yourself!
* NearDeathExperience: Jouglat nearly died in the warr, shown in a flashback. He was badly injured and losing a lot of blood, and survived mostly thanks to Ghost Lady and his helpful callers.
* NotUsedToFreedom: Jouglat preferred the warr, and openly regretted even coming back home; he found it too quiet and hated not having anything to do, and eventually decided to just pack his bags and leave again.
* PartingWordsRegret: Jouglat's last conversation with Tank Mann was an argument over whether or not he should go to warr; he later admits that he wish he and his father never fought at all, now that Tank is missing with no signs of a return.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Jouglat has a very hard time adjusting to being away from the warr, suffering from flashbacks and finding his house uncomfortably quiet.



!! Tank Mann

[[AC:Associates of the Mann Family]]

to:

!! * TheAlcoholic: Courtney was always drinking, especially when monologuing or talking to her callers, contributing to her SanitySlippage.
* DanceOfDespair: In one scene, as Courtney is losing her mind and suffering a breakdown, she asks her callers to tell her about their favorite dance moves, so she can try them out. Shortly after, her mood goes spiraling down, as she gives a sad monologue and listens to a recording from
Tank Mann

[[AC:Associates
Mann.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: Courtney is so obsessed with her own beauty that she goes so far as to cover her face in rhinestones and ask her callers if they think she's pretty or not.
* StepfordSmiler: Courtney at first appears to be perfectly happy with her life, being Tank Mann's wife and the leader
of his company. However, it later becomes clear that she's ''miserable'' even just being in the house, saying that once she's in charge, she'd destroy the house and salt the Earth around it for good measure, all just because the house smells like Tank Mann. She later admitted to Berry that the reason she's doing what she's doing is that Tank Mann and Mann Corp. minimized her role in the company, despite her being the genius behind the battle machines, as well as the fact that she felt utterly unwelcome in the house at all. All of this, and she still pretended to be happy living with Tank and his family.
* WickedStepmother: Courtney is introduced as a catty, rude, spoiled woman, who only got into the family because she made Tank Mann happy as his wife. This is later explored, as though Berry claims Courtney was the problem, Courtney herself argued that she was always seen as an outsider anyway because she wasn't born rich like
the Mann Family]]
children were, making it ambiguous as to where the conflict started and how evil Courtney initially was.



* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:It's implied that Frank was drowned by Gergiev and is controlled via some form of necromancy]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Frank is left reeling after [[spoiler:killing Jouglat]], claiming that what he did felt wrong, and not taking kindly to Courtney's mockery about the situation.
* TheNicknamer: Frank seems to like giving nicknames; Jack is "Bouncy Boy", Courtney is "Princess", and Jouglat is "Plant Boy".
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Frank teamed up with Gergiev at the promise of getting rewarded for his efforts in destroying Mann Corp., expecting a large sum of money and asking for it often.



* AmbiguouslyBi: Agent Martinez appears to have a crush on Berry and gets very happy when female callers tell her she's pretty, even calling one of them "sweet cheeks"; however, she also seems to have a crush on "George Washington", and has accepted a sex proposal from one male caller.
* SillyWalk: Agent Martinez walks ''very'' stiffly, and moves forward by moving her entire body side-to-side and shuffling ahead.
* StarstruckSpeechless: When on the phone with who she's ''told'' is UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington, Agent Martinez can barely say a single word, and just stutters out of nervousness.

!! Ghost Lady:

* PassThePopcorn: In a lot of scenes where the family is experiencing drama and clashes between members, Ghost Lady can be seen in the background watching as an engaged spectator with food.

See Sam Weiner


Added DiffLines:

* HumanoidAbomination: Gergiev looks like a human, but with bright orange teeth and the power to infect and curse the Mann family with said teeth; he speaks mostly in gibberish, and uses his powers to try and kill Mann.
* WasOnceAMan: Gergiev was just a regular man who fell through the void and experienced incomphrehensible horrors, turning him into a HumanoidAbomination.


Added DiffLines:

* SpearCarrier: Courier Martinez only has two scenes and a few lines, in which she drops off a letter to the Mann house and then comes to take Agent Martinez back to the MPO headquarters.

!! Tank Mann


Added DiffLines:

!!In general:

* MethodActing: In-Universe, Sam, Taylor and Casper all admitted to getting very deep into their roles. Sam spent three months acting as a mail man and even continued to stay in-character while on set. Taylor spent her days reading real-world missing-persons reports and gave her very minor character some deep, dark backstory. Casper...checks his mail and his email daily.



Added DiffLines:

* BriefAccentImitation: One British caller is picked up on "Tanking Mann". As he attempts to call out Becca and Rebecca for their poorly made show, Rebecca just puts on a British accent when speaking, as one example of the show's disinterest in being serious about anything.
* CantTakeCriticism: Becca and Rebecca seemed unwilling to listen to criticisms of their show, either ignoring the arguments or cutting the show short during unwanted calls.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is ego-centric, rude, aggressive, and openly disrespectful toward his fellow cast and crew members.


Added DiffLines:

* AdamWesting: Sam Weiner plays as himself, the actor playing the mailman on ''Cry Of Mann'', and is portrayed as an outright {{Narcissist}}.
* TheAlcoholic: Sam Weiner is slowly revealed as someone who likes alcohol a little too much. Not only did he come in drunk during "Tanking Mann", but he also admitted to being drunk several times on set, claiming that it was okay because nobody noticed.
* AsHimself: All of the ''Tanking Mann'' guests, being Sam Weiner, Taylor [=McCormic=], and Casper Kelly, were playing fictionalized versions of themselves.
* AttentionWhore: Sam was so obsessed with himself that he became angry when Becca and Rebecca received praise instead of him, and made memorial videos for deceased characters that had more pictures of his living mail-man character than the actual character that had died.
* CantTakeCriticism: Sam Weiner only wanted praise while on "Tanking Mann". Any bit of criticism would make him angry, even if it was his own fellow cast-member stating that his antics bothered her and everyone else on the set.
* {{Narcissist}}: Sam contains quite a few signs; he believes himself the best actor on the show and talks constantly about how good of an actor he is and how famous he is, despite being a bit-character. He's so obsessed with himself that he felt entitled to be on "Tanking Mann", barging into the show even on days he wasn't booked and taking the spotlight away from the actual guests and hosts. His need for constant praise and attention is so great, he went berserk when a caller asked which role he played in the show, forcing the caller to claim they were just joking around. Finally, he shows a need for power and attention, with the aforementioned forcing himself into "Tanking Mann" episodes and his apparent ownership over "Tanking Mann" itself, which was considered a leech on ''Cry Of Mann's'' success as a show. He even bribed a camera guy to give him a spotlight so he can monologue when not meant to, knowing the cast couldn't do anything to stop him.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Uses the show as a vehicle to push himself and has an over-inflated ego, despite being disliked by everybody, kicked out of "Tanking Mann", and an implied [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic.]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: In-Universe, Sam the mail-man becomes one on ''Cry Of Mann'' and "Tanking Mann". He gave himself an unscripted monologue on ''Cry Of Mann'' just knowing that the cast couldn't stop him, and forced himself on ''Tanking Mann'' episodes, even when not booked, just to talk more about himself.


Added DiffLines:

* AudienceParticipation: In ''Call of Warr'', viewers have a physical stand-in, "Sarah" the prisoner, where they can chat with the soldiers.
* TheCameo: [[WebVideo/RebelTaxi Pan Pizza]] was one of the callers on the show; he was the one who kept saying "no" to Courtney in episode 3 and was was subsequently deemed a "giggly machine".
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Some callers ''attempt'' to tell Becca and Rebecca how much they and their show sucks, but it never goes well, with attempts being cut away from, ignored, or outright ''mocked''.
* TrueCompanions: Jack develops this relationship with his callers, who he believes to be a single person named Palmer [[note]] previously named Katie, but Palmer is the longer-lasting name[[/note]]. He repeatedly calls "Palmer" his best friend, thanking him for being there for him. For the caller's part, they do their best to support Jack in his art, try to calm him down, and even show their loyalty for him by "pledging allegiance" and helping him insult Berry, even when they felt guilty doing so.
