History Fanfic / DayOfTheBarneyTrilogy

* TimeAbyss: Barney and Baby Bop are both over 65 million years old.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The brutal murder of every adult and teenager Barney and his loyal crew of young fans could get their hands on is said to have taken place "across the country" so presumably, only the United States was affected. For the duration of the Purple Holocaust, there is certainly a Societal Collapse as Barney's Special Friends are left to forage for their own food in the fields of grain tended by the Loved Ones and every surviving teenager and adult presumably either practices subsistence farming or forages for food in abandoned places. [[spoiler:If Jeremy and Fran hadn't defeated Barney, it would have most likely resulted in the extinction of the human race due to the adults having to hide from Barney and his followers and the children not reproducing with each other ([[{{Squick}} or so we hope]]). Eventually, every full-blooded human being would die off, leaving only Barney, Baby Bop, and the [[HalfHumanHybrid Loved Ones]].]]

* BittersweetEnding: Part 2 has Fran and Jeremy [[spoiler:defeat Barney [[NotQuiteDead or so they think]]]], but a large number of adults and teenagers have been brutally murdered during the Purple Holocaust, which has also basically wrecked social infrastructure. Part 3 has [[spoiler:Barney defeated once and for all, but Jeremy's children have been traumatized so badly that they need serious therapy]].

* DeathFic: [[spoiler:Eventually serves as a fic about the death of Barney. After a fakeout in the second installment, Barney is killed for real in the finale.]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: Thorton Marshall]] realizes his beloved Barney may not being a loving as he thought. Jeremy and Fran finding out may count too, although they never actually did anything harmful themselves.

* AdaptedOut: Surprisingly, BJ is nowhere to be found. (He is found in many of the side stories that are not canon to the main trilogy, however.)

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In part 3, it features Adolf Schicklgruber making the decision to change his name to Adolf Hitler [[spoiler:after having been befriended and corrupted by Barney]]. The basis of the "Adolf Hitler could've been Adolf Schicklgruber" meme is that his father was born with the surname Schicklgruber, but successfully changed it to Hitler. Adolf Hitler never bore the surname Schicklgruber at any time in his life.

* AdultFear: Well, maybe not the whole "Barney is a demonic monster who kills adults and rules over children" plot, which is more like a corny horror film plot than anything, but in part three where [[spoiler:Jeremy's children are kidnapped and turned against him]] might invoke this trope.

In 2012, a ([[INeedAFreakingDrink drunk]]) DramaticReading of the trilogy was done by [=FanFic=] Critic. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP0nPTe1f7g Part 1]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2nls7b_HKE&list=PL973BF5F8DB02209C&index=12 Part 2]])

Long, long ago, back in the ancient year of 1993, Brian Bull released a short ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' HateFic known as ''Day of the Barney''. To summarize it as simply as possible, Barney, who is being broadcast from the United States Capitol [[note]]In reality, the show was produced in UsefulNotes/{{Texas}}, not Washington D.C., but anyone who writes a ''Barney'' HateFic generally ignores this bit of information[[/note]], sends thousands of children into an unstoppable killing spree when he tells them the adults are trying to take him away from them.

* LukeIAmYourFather: Maca'hzar turns out to be [[spoiler:Fran's test-tube son and Jeremy's nephew.]]

* AdultFear:

* AfterTheEnd: Barney's reign has brought the world to ruin.

* BigGood: Both Maca'hzar and Jeremy and Fran Phillips count.

* TheChessmaster: Barney can pull of some pretty skillful gambits.

* CrackFic: A shockingly well-done one at that.

* PuzzleBoss: [[spoiler: Barney in Part 3 cannot be killed by normal means. Thankfully, Maca'hzar's gift comes in handy...]]

* SoftSpokenSadist: Barney loves to hum twisted nursery rhymes while killing children.

* TraumaCongaLine: Fran and Jeremy suffer a lot in Part 3.

* BlatantLies: Barney tosses these out like candy. At the point Jeremy realizes what a monster Barney is, Barney even tries to lie that the other 13-year-old boy isn't dead and that he isn't going to kill Jeremy.

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: [[spoiler: Fran says this in ''III'':]]
-->[[spoiler: "Eat steel, you slimy green bitch!"]]

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: [spoiler: Fran says this in ''III'':]]

* DepravedKidsShowHost: Barney and Baby Bop. Their first act of genocide is to brainwash every kid watching their program into killing everyone around them over the age of 12. [[spoiler: It gets worse in Day of the Barney 3, where Barney comes back on the air with a vengeance, announcing his plan of world domination.]]

The story has yet to receive any DramaticReading as of yet, probably due to being very obscure.

* NextSundayAD: Even in the third story, where Fran and Jeremy are adults, things aren't as different from present day.
