Per TRS, Just For Pun was renamed to Punny Trope Names due to misuse.

Removal of What An Idiot potholes per TRS thread



* EnragedByIdiocy: Zigzagged for Allen and Ton. Many of the less-experienced bidders (aka "newbies") will pay ''way'' too much for units, much to their annoyance of Allen and Ton. However, the newbies' ignorance can also work in their favor, since newbies are also likely to pay less for good units if they don't know what to look for, which they don't.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* MotorMouth: Many, but not all of, the auctioneers at the auctions. A few take this UpToEleven by demonstrating this while announcing the rules for each auction, sometimes prompting Allen to ask how much coffee they had that morning.

* AwesomeButPractical: Functional firearms can sell for a lot of money, and usually allow Ton a chance to test them out on the firing range.
