History Series / MiracleWorkersEndTimes

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: John Christ to John Connor, a Future Badass destined to free humanity from robot tyranny. While both have the same first name, John Christ is overly arrogant over being TheChosenOne and uses extremist methods in sticking it to the man.

* CheerfulAI: Morris's "wife" Holly is a sentient hologram he obtained after his second failed relationship, who's programmed to be a completely subservient ExtremeDoormat {{Housewife}} that agrees with Morris' sexist opinions. She also considers Freya stuffing Morris' head into his own ass as a display of his remarkable flexibility rather than a danger.

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: Morris' 40 year high school reunion is with nothing but the corpses of his schoolmates, since they all died in The Boom. He is hesitant at first but quickly gets into pretending they're all not dead.

* TakeThat: "Grouping Ceremony" is an entire episode that mocks ''Literature/{{Divergent}}'', as Morris frets over getting his son Timmy onto the "Strong" career path, even resorting to an elaborate bribery scheme to accomplish this when it's clear that his son would be judged "Heroic", while Sid repeatedly tries in vain to point out how stupid it is to [[GroupedForYourConvenience divide society up by subjectively assessed characteristics]].

* SlapSlapKiss: To the point of absurdity. Freya's war party stumbles upon Sid in the desert. She punches him a lot. He stabs her in the leg. She calls him a "tough little cockroach" and he calls her a "psychotic bitch." Then they kiss.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In "The End, [[spoiler:when Tai tries to shoot Freya for being a "bad friend" but Linda [[TakingTheBullet takes the bullet]], a now-enraged Freya gives him a rant about how he's been self-centered and not caring about what ''she'' wants in life that's so devastating his programming can't handle the shame and makes him self-destruct, splitting himself apart at the waist]].

* HumanPet: "Scraps", played by Jon Bass, who speaks English and walks on two legs but in all other respects acts exactly like a dog. In episode 4 he's idly singing "You're really a human/you've been brainwashed by your captors/you should kill them and go back to your old life." Then he stops and wonders why that song is stuck in his head.
** "Roland Proudheart" reveals that he used to be the leader of a small town that resisted one of Freya's raids. Eventually, she defeated him and broke him enough that he became her war dog, with no memory of his past life... until his wife arranged for him to be kidnapped and brought home.

* ArmCannon: Tai can shapeshift his right arm into a laser gun. He does this during the big fight in the season finale.

* DeadGuyJunior: The finale reveals that Sid and Freya named their baby Linda, after Linda the HOA president who [[TakingTheBullet took a bullet]] for Freya in the Battle of Boomtown.

* TakingTheBullet: Linda the HOA president does this in the series finale, leaping in front of the energy beam Tai shoots from his ArmCannon, thus saving Freya.

* AntiClimax: Outright stated by Sid in "The End" when [[spoiler:they and Tai finish John Christ's signal to take down Neural Net and it just shuts her television off, with him then adding he was hoping for some kind of explosion]].

* AsideGlance: At the end of the last episode Boomtown is having a festival. Morris gets excited about getting his face painted and says "I'm gonna be a tiger! Rawr!" Then he looks straight at the camera and says "And that was the last thing I ever said." (It is in fact Steve Buscemi's last line.)

* DeadGuyJunior: The finale reveals that Sid and Freya named their baby Linda, after Linda the HOA president who [[TakingABullet took a bullet]] for Freya in the Battle of Boomtown.

* DistantFinale: The end of the last episode skips forward a year. Freya now rules Boomtown as president of the HOA, and she and Sid are raising their baby.
* TheEnd: The season (and series) finale is titled "The End". The residents of Boomtown fight a battle against a robot army bent on wiping out the human race.

* BuxomIsBetter: Freya is leaving Boomtown, disguised as Sid--but with a rather too-tight T-shirt stretched over her bosom. Morris sees her on her way out, mistakes her for Sid, then notices her breasts and says "''Nice rack''"--then wonders if this means he's gay for Sid.

* StatOVision: Tai has Terminator-style robot vision, which is used for a gag in which he seems to be about to attack Freya but instead greets her as an old friend.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Freya gets Sid's job back by beating the hell out of Morris. The next morning Sid finds Morris cut up and bruised and using a crutch and asks what happened. Morris says "I slipped getting out of the shower. I certainly didn't get my esophagus pulled out of my butthole."

* ActorAllusion: In episode 4, "Grouping Ceremony", Sid is very surprised to find out that the citizens of Boomtown are sorted into five groups, and that one of them, Malicious, is "actively evil." ("That doesn't seem like something you'd want to encourage."). The five groups even have differently colored banners. The allusion to the Film/HarryPotter series and the Hogwarts houses, and Slytherin the evil house, is obvious.

* GroupedForYourConvenience: In "Grouping Ceremony", there are five groups that all adolescents are sorted into upon reaching adulthood: Strong, Heroic, Wise, Kind, and Malevolent. Morris was Strong in his youth, despite being an unmuscular schemer in the present, and wants his son to follow in his footsteps.

* ObviouslyEvil: In "Grouping Ceremony", one of the [[GroupedForYourConvenience five groups]] is Malevolent. Sid immediately identifies the Malevolent answer in a test exam as the one that settles a confrontation between an innocent person and a marauder by killing them both and dancing in their blood, and is later incredulous that everyone's just letting all of the Malevolent people group together at the ceremony instead of immediately dealing with them.

* BecomingTheMask: In TheTag of "Grouping Ceremony", Scraps is still referring to himself as an educator named Professor Scraps after Morris involved him in a scheme to get his son Tim into a specific career path.

* VertigoEffect: Done with Freya as she seethes with rage and whispers "Must contain rising bloodlust" as Morris's racism and jerkassery drive her to fury.

* HangoverSensitivity: The B-plot of episode 4, as Freya has a hangover after a wild night partying with Tai, and is disturbed, as this is a sign of aging.
