* ChekhovsGunman: The BLU Spy in "The Fight for Sawmill". Appeared twice before the fight, once fanboying over the Epic Scout, and second to be killed by the Rabid Heavy before Scout saves him. Ends up [[spoiler: saving Epic Scout from the explosion at the Center Shed]]

* CurbStompBattle: Happens twice in Meet the Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer, with the BLU team utterly dominating RED (to the point where a BLU Scout can casually relax while his Sniper friend takes out the other)...and then the eponymous Engineer shows up and siccs his pet on BLU, who proceeds to effortlessly slaughter them.

* ''"Rise of the Epic Scout" (2012)''
* ''"Meet The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer" (2014)''
* ''"The Fight for Sawmill" (2015)''
* ''"Like White on Spy" (2020)''

* BadassNormal: The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer is largely a "Normal" mercenary, unlike Epic Scout and the nigh-unstoppable man-bear, and yet can go toe-to-toe with Epic Scout and ''tamed'' said nigh-unstoppable man-bear. Another example is the Samurai Demo who goes toe-to-toe with the Rabid Heavy and actually manages to cut off one of his gauntlets; it's not much, but he still fares much, ''much'' better than the rest of the mooks.

* HealingPotion: Apparently, some scrumpy and a can of bonk not only completely heals severe bullet wounds like a medigun, it also turns people into superhuman badasses!
** Somewhat Justified as bonk is a [[ILoveNuclearPower radioactive]] energy drink.
* HeroicMime: The Epic Scout is almost this, as he only has a one-liner or two due to the fact he's in intense combat 90% of the time. The Cowboygineer as well, who isn't shown speaking at all.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Twice done in "Rise of the Epic Scout", as a result of Epic Scout's habit of using the enemies' weapons against them. In particular, the RED Engineer is killed by his own Sentry and the RED Spy, who had been abusing his Dead Ringer during the final battle, has the tables turned on him when the Scout steals his Dead Ringer, and is then executed by his own Enforcer.
* JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient: Fair warning: If you watch a Crash Maul video, you ''will'' suffer from severe "Holy shit" overdose.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: In "Like White On Spy", the female leader of the Cobra gang lives, while her entourage is wiped out.
* TheNoseKnows: Rabid heavy can sniff out cloaked spies.

* TheRival: The RED Spy is the only remote threat to The Epic Scout in "Rise of the Epic Scout".
** Same with the BLU Engineer and Cowboygineer. Who lead the charge against Cowboygineer during "Meet The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer".

** ''Rise of the Epic Scout'' was made just five months after Source Filmmaker was released to the public, so it was a rather humble but still impressive art project.

** ''The Fight for Sawmill'' was an epic crossover with the production value of a professional movie.
** And finally, ''Like White on Spy'' was a full-blown 18 minute short film with three custom voice actors.
* ShootTheBullet: The Cowboygineer deals with a Loose Cannon-wielding Demoman by shooting a cannonball fired by the Demoman, causing it to rebound into his face and explode.

'''Crash Maul''' is one of the most famous Source Filmmaker animators of all time, being the mastermind behind a brilliantly awesome VideoGame/TeamFortress2 based action videos.

** Same with the BLU Engineer and Cowboygineer. Who lead the charge against Cowboygineer during the video.
** Epic Scout and the Rabid Heavy/Cowboygineer duo are more fitting rivals. And it's implied The Fight for Sawmill was just the begining.

* RasputinianDeath: After his team gets mown down, the (not yet Epic) BLU Scout gets one from the RED team. He gets shot by a Sentry, [[DestinationDefenestration thrown out a window by Heavy]] and breaks his arm on landing, and then {{kneecapp|ing}}ed by the Sniper when he tries to run. He agonizingly drags himself back to the spawn room, where he is met by the Spy, who shoots him twice in the gut and leaves him to bleed out. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Thanks to the RED Scout and Demoman, he gets better... and then some.]]

* GreyAndGrayMorality: No one in Crash Maul's universe is particularly good or particularly bad (though there are some sadists on RED team), just mercenaries who kill opponents and care for their teams.

* VillainousFriendship: The RED Demoman and Scout, the ones who taunted and tortured the Epic Scout before his rise, obviously have a genuine, almost teenage-like friendship with each other.

* {{Badass}}: The Epic Scout is a OneManArmy who can effortlessly trample entire teams of elite mercenaries and The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer is a revolver-wielding martial artist with a pet man-bear.
** BadassNormal: The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer is largely a "Normal" mercenary, unlike Epic Scout and his nigh-unstoppable man-bear, and yet can go toe-to-toe with Epic Scout and ''tamed'' said nigh-unstoppable man-bear.

* SuperReflexes / DodgeTheBullet: The Epic Scout can dodge barrages of close-quarters automatic gun-fire. This superpower of his is taken to comedic proportions at the end of "Rise of the Epic Scout" where he pretty much ''teleports'' behind the Spy and somehow stole his revolver in under a milisecond.

** BadassNormal: The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer is largely a "Normal" mercenary, unlike Epic Scout and his nigh-unstoppable man-bear.

* RollingAttack: The Rabid Heavy mimics Kano from MortalKombat early on in The Fight for Sawmill.
