This prompts the exitors to change plans and escape through Spongy and, after the remaining BFB contestants catch onto this, start trying to help free them while Four tries doing the opposite. Spongy and Loser are the only ones that manage to escape and, in the midst of Four trying to chase them down and reeliminate them, a new character named Two shows up and starts convincing a majority of BFB's cast to switch to their new show, dubbed The Power of Two. Many contestants do so and rub it into Four's face. Taco and Book also finally make up, and the remaining 14 BFB contestants (which include Spongy and Loser) are sent elsewhere to compete for their competition, while TPOT remains where BFB once took place.]]

Leafy is eliminated, and after [[AllTheWorldsAreAStage going through all 27 challenges again]], Gelatin and Teardrop are up for elimination. Meanwhile, the Announcer continues to abuse the budget Four barely touched this season, killing Taco when she tries to intervene. Also, Four's fusion seems to have been permenate, much to X's displeasure.]]

On March 25, 2020, the series was split into two shows with the release of it's 16th episode, "The Escape From Four". The episode acted as a double BackdoorPilot for both a new show named ''WebAnimation/ThePowerOfTwo'' (abbreviated "TPOT"), which has a new host, Two, and took most of the contestants, and ''Battle for BFB'', a direct continuation still featuring Four as the host, which takes the remainder. While the voting system for ''BFB'' was largely the same as previous seasons, it changed from "vote to eliminate" to "vote to save" after the split.

You never do these things for me, so we're going to make this simple - Profily is out of the game, but this isn't how they're leaving.

''Battle For BFDI'', or ''BFB'' for short, is the DenserAndWackier fourth season of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'', an animated web series by Michael and Cary Huang, aka jacknjellify. It began on November 3, 2017. Sixty-four anthropomorphic objects go about their daily lives, when all of a sudden Four and X (characters from a previous animation called "X Finds Out His Value") appear and propose a game in which the prize is a "BFDI". What exactly is a BFDI? Well, it doesn't matter because all the contestants are very excited to win it. Thus the contest begins.

On March 25, 2020, the series was split into two shows with the release of "The Escape From Four", the 16th episode of ''Battle for BFDI''. The episode acted as a double BackdoorPilot for both a new show named ''The Power of Two'' (abbreviated "TPOT"), which has a new host, Two, and took most of the contestants, and ''Battle for BFB'', a continuation of ''Battle for BFDI'' still featuring Four as the host, which takes the remainder.

While the voting system for ''BFB'' was largely the same as previous seasons, it changed from "vote to eliminate" to "vote to save" after the split.

is a BFDI? Is it replacing Dream Island as the most important big deal in object show history? Well, it doesn't matter because all the contestants are very excited to win it. Thus the contest begins.

On March 25, 2020, the series was split into two shows with the release of it's 16th episode, "The Escape From Four", the 16th episode of ''Battle for BFDI''. Four". The episode acted as a double BackdoorPilot for both a new show named ''The Power of Two'' (abbreviated "TPOT"), which has a new host, Two, and took most of the contestants, and ''Battle for BFB'', a direct continuation of ''Battle for BFDI'' still featuring Four as the host, which takes the remainder.

remainder. While the voting system for ''BFB'' was largely the same as previous seasons, it changed from "vote to eliminate" to "vote to save" after the split.

''Battle For BFDI'', or ''BFB'' for short, is the DenserAndWackier fourth season of ''Battle For Dream Island'', an animated web series by Michael and Cary Huang, aka jacknjellify. It began on November 3, 2017. Sixty-four anthropomorphic objects go about their daily lives, when all of a sudden Four and X (characters from a previous animation called "X Finds Out His Value") appear and propose a game in which the prize is a "BFDI". What exactly is a BFDI? Well, it doesn't matter because all the contestants are very excited to win it. Thus the contest begins.

On March 25, 2020, the series was split into two shows with the release of "The Escape From Four", the 16th episode of ''Battle for BFDI''. The episode acted as a double BackdoorPilot for both a new show named ''The Power of Two'' (abbreviated "TPOT"), which has a new host, Two, and took most of the contestants, and ''Battle for BFB'', a continuation of ''Battle for BFDI'' still featuring Four as the host, which takes the remainder.

While the voting system for ''BFB'' was largely the same as previous seasons, it changed from "vote to eliminate" to "vote to save" after the split.

The series can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL24C8378F296DB656 in the same playlist as previous seasons]].
----
!! This show provides examples of:

* AdorableAbomination:
** How Four works, looks, and acts suggest this:
*** He can absorb eliminated contestants into its body.
*** He revives dead contestants by shooting them out of its hand, with a drum roll.
*** He can teleport, seemingly regenerate himself, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking start the intro]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall to the episode.]]
*** He can also move the minds of characters around and give out happy memories.
** X leans more on the adorable and less on the abomination, but both factors are still there.
* AnAesop: "Let's Raid The Warehouse" has one. It's about how you shouldn't treat people like babies just because they have a condition. For context, Woody is infantilized by his peers because of his phobias, and in this episode he finally admits, without words, that he is sick of being treated like a baby.
* AndIMustScream: At the end of BFB 2, Taco is still trapped inside one of the jawbreakers with no one being able to hear or free her. The worst part is it seems that she has been in there for days and no one even remembers her to the point that she [[AutoCannibalism eats part of herself to survive.]]
* {{Angrish}}: Book tries to convince her team that Taco abandoned them for the umpteenth time. When nobody listens, this happens.
* AnimationBump: As of BFB 13, the animation is more fluid, thanks to a higher budget.
* ApocalypseHow: In BFB 14, [[spoiler:Team Ice Cube end up breaking open a magma vein, causing it to spill out. This ends up flooding the entire area of North Goiky in lava.]] It isn't until BFB 15 [[spoiler:that the lava clears up thanks to a garbage shoot in Golf Ball's underground lab. This leaves behind a barren wasteland.]] [[ApocalypseWow It's rather intriguing to watch.]]
* ArcNumber:
** 8. There are eight teams of eight members, freeing the eight recovered contestants from the jawbreakers was the second challenge, and there's 8-ball who denies having a favorite number, [[spoiler: and was also eliminated on episode 8 and gave Saw the fumes that made her [[VerbalTic randomly say "eight"]]]]. [[spoiler: He was also in 8th place for the rejoining in episode 11]].
** 2763, oddly enough. It's the distance between Goiky and Yoyleland, and the number of deaths Death P.A.C.T. prevented as of episode 5. It's also the speed in miles per hour at which X can move, and the last part of [[spoiler:the treasure's coordinates in BFB 13]].
** 31 also could qualify. The first three seasons have 31 contestants and 31 episodes in total and a new episode is released each month, roughly 31 days.
* AscendedExtra: X usually plays second fiddle to Four during their hosting stints. [[spoiler:Once Four is multiplied by zero, however, he starts hosting himself. [[DeconstructedTrope He proves himself woefully under-prepared and out of his element during his stint as host, so he steps back comfortably into being Four's sidekick again]]]].
** In addition, most of the new contestants in BFB were only extras until then, appearing in a few scenes before their official debut as contestants.
* AscendedMeme: Many voters jokingly voted for Four and X, the hosts, using [4] and [X]. Come BFB 13, and since no team has been put up for elimination by the end of the episode, the voting segment was turned into a popularity contest, where Four and X can be voted using [4] and [X].
* BadassFingersnap: Donut uses one during BFB 8 to [[spoiler:turn the gravity back on, using the moon to crush 8-ball as part of his elimination and subsequent death]]. Another one is used by [[spoiler: Four to begin the challenge]] in BFB 12.
* BaitAndSwitch: During the 4th challenge, when Team BEEP presents a cake in the shape of Four. Once asked how they made it, a flashback leads the viewers to think that it’s Rocky vomiting onto a plate. But it’s really Woody spreading frosting onto that said plate and David groaning in disgust. [[DoubleSubversion And then the frosting is revealed to be Rocky’s barf.]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Subverted in BFB 20, "A Taste of Space". The Have Cots immediately [[RealityEnsues begin to suffocate]] after Gelatin breaks the plastic wrap windows. Luckily, Four gives them air for the Cake and Stake and this trope is PlayedStraight due to the fact that the Have Cots were able to stand on the surface of the sun itself! Although Lollipop does begin to melt.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Black Hole states that he can't be crushed to a smaller size, yet Four does just that anyways.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: The official character guide for the show, released by Scholastic, does not contain any direct mentions of characters killing other characters. The closest they get is a mention of Woody being "pricked" by Naily.
* BloodierAndGorier: Black comedy becomes more prominent as the show goes on, most likely due to the creators' aging.
* BreatherEpisode:
** BFB 12 also counts as one of these, only having major consequences for a few teams. Right after these two is the intense two-parter that is BFB 13 and 14, and BFB 15 is filled with revelations about several key relationships, as well as [[spoiler:the chaotic aftermath of North Goiky being flooded with lava.]] [[spoiler:Right after that is BFB 16, which introduces Two, as well as splitting the show apart into two different shows.]]
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Many of the contestants dislike Four because of his aggressive behavior, and A Better Name Than That actually succeeds in temporarily getting rid of him by multiplying him with Donut. However, neither Donut nor X is able to recover any of the dead contestants, and everyone eventually realizes that they need Four to be present in order for everyone to stay alive.
* CardboardPrison: The jail in which Four is trapped in BFB 23, whose bars are easily moveable by [[spoiler:Gelatin]], who rescues them.
* ChekhovsGun: Donut's [[spoiler: second]] diary. Loser steals it in BFB 16, and it is not mentioned again until BFB 22, where Four puts it out to serve as the prize for the Cake at Stake. However, it is stolen, which leads to the challenge to find out who stole it. [[spoiler: It turns out that Firey stole it. And when Leafy confronts him about how he had been ignoring her lately, he reveals why he stole it. This makes Leafy apologize for stealing Dream Island, and it restores their friendship as a result. Leafy then takes the blame to save Firey from getting hated by his teamates]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While every contestant qualifies, the hosts are much more exaggerated examples. It's UpToEleven with 4, who is almost an EldritchAbomination in their own right.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: All of the teams are color-coded.
** Death P.A.C.T.: Black/Navy
** A Better Name Than That: Blue
** Team Ice Cube!: White
** Free Food: Red
** The Losers!: Yellow
** iance: Pink
** BEEP: Green
** Bleh: Gray/Purple
** Additionally, the new teams created after the show split are based around Four and X's colours (blue and yellow), and the team members (minus Ruby for Have Cots) were chosen based on whether their colour was closer to Four or X's.
* ColorCodedArmies: All Beep members are colored orange after their second Cake at Stake. However, dead contestants get recovered with their original coloring.
* ContinuityCreep: While most post-merge BFB episodes are standalones, the events in the plot of BFB 23 rely on previous episodes:
** The episode's contest is to bring Four back from jail, since he illegally used the courthouse in BFB 22.
** The Have Cots visit the warehouse from BFB 21, where they find the "Purple Do Not Open" box, which reveals [[spoiler:Purple Face, who first appeared in BFDI 24, who ends up eating the Have Cots.]]
** When the Have Cots try to use the fast express train to get to the aforementioned warehouse, they have to use the steam train instead because Firey burned it because [[spoiler: he was punished by Four for stealing Donut's Diary]] in the stinger of BFB 22. [[spoiler: This also gives Flower enough time to chase after them.]]
* ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument: [[spoiler:When Book looks up her definition of herself, the pages for Battle For Dream Island Again and Battle For BFDI can be also seen. BFDIA's page is cut by formatting before it can be revealed who won and BFB's description is heavily distorted.]]
* CouchGag: Every episode begins with a different character raising their arm before the intro starts.
* CourtroomEpisode: In BFB 22.
* CoverIdentityAnomaly: Most of the impostors in BFB 12 get caught because of this. [[spoiler: Taco (as Tree) kills someone, which is against Tree's team policy, Basketball speaks as Rocky, Lightning (as Pin) doesn't remember the incident she is supposed to have witnessed, and so on.]]
* CoversAlwaysLie: BFB 25’s thumbnail. [[spoiler: In the thumbnail, Firey is seen reaching for a totem, which the contest is about (bringing a totem back to Four.) However, Firey was eliminated before the contest. Justified, since the thumbnail wouldn’t spoil the elimination.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: While BFB is DenserAndWackier than the previous seasons, it also has significantly much darker moments, even when compared to the above examples.
** The eliminations can be more than a little unsettling. If a contestant is eliminated, Four will suck them into his body. The standouts so far are [[spoiler:Leafy and Bracelety.]]
** While [[spoiler:Liy]] gets sucked up faster than the other eliminated contestants, their behavior once eliminated more than makes up for it. [[spoiler:She [[DudeWheresMyRespect accuses her teammates of being ungrateful and biased towards her]], as she just wanted to overcome her past and save lives, even pointing out that she saved the most lives out of everyone in her team. Liy eventually loses it and flips into her previous design, to the horror of her teammates. It’s also heavily implied she used to be a serial killer.]]
** [[spoiler:8-Ball’s]] elimination actually ''kills'' him. To elaborate, [[spoiler:Donut [[ItMakesSenseInContext traps him in between the moon and the earth]], then undoes the zero gravity effect to crush him to death.]]
** BFB 2’s post-credits scene reveals that Taco is the only contestant still trapped in a jawbreaker, and when David tries to free her, a dejected Nickel tells him to leave it alone. Poor Taco is unable to be heard by the other contestants and remains trapped inside for several days, eating her fish to prevent herself from starving. [[spoiler:During the third challenge, she tries to call for help again, but her teammates still can’t hear her and come to the conclusion that she either died or abandoned them.]]
* DeathIsCheap: While recovery centers are no longer around in BFB, Four has the ability to revive any dead contestant. After [[spoiler:he got killed off for a period of time]], any contestants who die remain dead indefinitely. [[spoiler:In BFB 10, he comes back, though, and every dead contestant during his absence gets recovered.]]
* DecidedByOneVote: In Episode 22, all the contestants received over ten thousand votes, yet the eliminated contestant is only a single vote behind the next contestant.
* DenserAndWackier: This season is more fast-paced with more impulsive humor, now that episodes are shorter and released biweekly, and a host whose actions make the Announcer look tame.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Any characters who interrupts Four or tries to criticize him, Clock, in particular, is this. [[TooDumbToLive It's usually a very poor idea, though.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: Episode 6 has this. After spending the entire season up to that point at the short end of Four's torment, the team "A Better Name Than That" attempts to get rid of him by "multiplying him by 0," using Donut as their 0. [[spoiler:It works, and Donut is then made the host for that episode. 4 episodes later, however, CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem kicks in.]]
* EjectTheLoser: Four absorbs the eliminated contestants. After the split, eliminated contestants are sent to the Big Rotating Building (BRB), where they are spun around in cages high above the ground.
* FakeOutOpening: BFB episode 10 features an "opening" with all eliminated and dead characters missing, alive characters appearing in their state in the show (like Tree being stuck inside Bottle), Four being missing from the ending, X being sad about it, and the title being "Battle for Nothing". The regular opening is played later in the episode when Four comes back.
* FlatWhat: Happens twice in BFB 23 and 24 respectively.
** In BFB 23, after [[spoiler:Gelatin]] saves Four and wins the challenge, Four thanks him in a very over the top manner and flies away, leaving [[spoiler:Gelatin]] confused.
** In BFB 24, Lollipop intentionally makes a bad party for the challenge just to annoy Four. [[spoiler:Despite this, though, Four ends up loving it, granting her first place, and leaving Lollipop shocked.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In BFB 1, the voting music is used outside of its context - in a scene with iance, [[spoiler: who went up for elimination in that episode.]]
* FreakyFridayFlip: The entire premise of BFB 12’s challenge. A contestant from each team has their minds placed into the body of another contestant, and the others must rule out the imposter in order to secure immunity for their team.
* FunWithAcronyms: There are a few more acronyms in addition to the classic "BFDI".
** The team “Death Prevention and Creating Trust” ends up being shortened to “[[SuicidePact Death P.A.C.T.]]”
** After the split, eliminated contestants are sent to the BRB, also known as the "Big Rotating Building".
* GilliganCut: Happens in episode 1.
-->'''Fries:''' I'll throw you as high as I can and you'll try to grab the basket, okay?\\
'''Foldy:''' I'm a bit nervous about thaaaaaa-
* HeroicSacrifice: While these occur throughout the series, BFB 14 is full of them with several contestants dying to save others from the lava. Since DeathIsCheap, these don't result in the death of contestants for good but can change relationships pretty quickly. [[spoiler: Especially when Book, who hated Taco for nearly the entire season up to this point, saves Taco in BFB 14.]]
* {{Irony}}: The fact that Death P.A.C.T., a death-preventing team, includes Black Hole and Remote, who both have killed in BFDI, and are the only recommended characters in Season 1 aside from Bomby to get that distinction.
* JumpScare: PlayedForLaughs in BFB 13. Eraser and Fries are waiting for the next contest because Four and X have a blank look on their faces, something they apparently do before an announcement. [[spoiler:Then X suddenly drills through the ground, and the two have shocked expressions.]]
* JerkassBall: The objects that are still in the game are hit by this in BFB 16. Some of them switch to Two's show with no remorse and no concern for Four's well-being, even saying that they'll switch to Two's show in his face.
* KilledOffForReal: Inverted when all contestants are brought back to life, including Woody, who had been dead since the finale of BFDI.
* KillEmAll: Heavily implied by the end of episode 14. [[spoiler:Only 29 out of 54 contestants are confirmed to be alive.]]
* NoInfantileAmnesia: Exaggerated; Eggy remembers when she was an egg inside of an egg.
* NonIndicativeName: Ice Cube is not on Team Ice Cube, which is {{lampshaded}} multiple times.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In BFB 7, when the teams on the moon are in turmoil, Blocky orders Golf Ball to watch the communicator dish. Golf Ball, being the informal leader of the team, protests, but eventually gives in.
* OrderVsChaos: The conflict between Black Hole (preventing deaths) and Remote (winning challenges) qualifies as this.
* OutOfFocus: Due to the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters ridiculously large cast in BFB]], characters tend to fall in and out of focus depending on the episode. Some characters seem to get the short end of the stick no matter what, however.
* PartingWordsRegret: Bubble's last words to Match are [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech lengthy and harsh]]. In the following episode, she resolves to forgive everyone else to prevent this from happening again.
-->'''Bubble:''' What if... what if this happened ''because'' I didn't forgive her? I can't let that happen to anyone else.
* PowerTrio: The show reprises the trios of Pencil/Match/Bubble and Blocky/Eraser/Pen. [[spoiler:However, the former dissolves very quickly after Pencil's elimination, and the latter also splits when Blocky opts to stay with BFB while Pen and Eraser go to TPOT]].
* RealityEnsues: For a show with anthropomorphic objects and screwy logic, this trope comes to play surprisingly more often in BFB.
** Beep was assembled by Leafy as a group of people who needed assistance. Obviously, they suck at challenges[[note]]They lost 3 times in the first 9 episodes, and are yet to finish a challenge in the first place, [[/note]][[spoiler:especially without Leafy.]]
** During the first challenge, iance’s strategy is to jump repeatedly in order to reach a basket. Unlike most instances where cartoon physics come into play, this doesn’t work, [[spoiler: and they end up losing the challenge.]]
** [[spoiler:After Four gets absorbed into him, Donut ends up taking over as the show’s temporary host. However, since he’s only a contestant with little experience in the competition (as he was eliminated first in BFDIA), things become noticeably more disorganized. Under his control, two teams are trapped on the moon and several contestants are (temporarily) killed off. While Four can reassemble and recover the contestants with ease, Donut cannot immediately undo any damage caused, and [[PowerIncontinence accidentally mutilates Naily when he tries to recover her]]. Even if you end up gaining reality-bending powers like Four, you don’t immediately master them. Also, while he punishes Free Food for cheating in the challenge, he has no problem giving his own team questions that only they would know the answer to. ]]
** EasilyForgiven does not come into play here. [[spoiler:Bell scorns Taco for using her in the sixth challenge and refuses to accept her apologies no matter what she says.]]
** [[spoiler:Despite Match’s FreudianExcuse and relatively sincere apology, Bubble does not immediately forgive her as well for verbally pressuring and demoting her in the eighth challenge.]]
** [[spoiler:When X is found inside of Fries after seemingly being absorbed into Donut, he becomes the temporary host. Before that, however, he only played the role of co-host, and as such, he’s very nervous and shy when trying to host, making occasional mistakes and fretting over them, and failing to properly explain the challenge to BEEP.]]
** [[spoiler:In BFB 22, Firey and Leafy finally make peace, and hug it out. Of course, Firey is made of, well, fire, and Leafy is a leaf, so Leafy ends up burning to ash, much to Firey's horror. Later in TheStinger, they hug again with the exact same results, and Firey tells himself to stop.]]
* FerrisWheelOfDoom: As a prank, Woody unattatches Firey's Ferris Wheel to the fulcrum with Firey and Leafy riding in BFB 24.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Bubble gives Match a ''very'' deserved speech in Get To The Top In 500 Steps:
-->'''Bubble:''' Nnnngh! [[WhatTheHellHero Match, what's gotten into you lately?]]\\
'''Match:''' Bubble! You're finally ready to talk to me! I'm, like, sorry for lying. ''None'' of us knew those quiz answers.\\
'''Bubble:''' Then ''why did you demote me?!''\\
'''Match:''' I, like, just had to set an example, so our teammates knew to, like, not mess up. Pencil's not around, so ''someone'', like, had to fill in. You, like, understand, right?\\
'''Bubble:''' Why did you keep thinking that would help?\\
'''Match:''' Bubble, we need a strong leader, or--\\
'''Bubble:''' Or what, we'll ''lose''? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Why haven't you noticed that this kind of leadership HURTS PEOPLE EVERY TIME?]] Last time we had Pencil was ''EPISODE ONE''! When we hurt Fanny, and lost the challenge. And in episode eight, when you ''took her spot''! We only survived because [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Stapy cheated]]... and... ''you hurt me''.\\
'''Match:''' I can promote you back to mem--\\
'''Bubble:''' ''That's meaningless!'' When I struggle, '''I don't need a stern leader! I don't need Pencil!''' [[SincerityMode I needed you.]]
* ShipSinking: BFB 6 teases Taco and Bell (who never interacted until then), with Taco pretending to flirt with Bell and flustering her. [[spoiler:In reality, however, she was baiting her to look at the Twinkle-infected moon so she could spare Bleh from elimination. Fast forward to BFB 10, in which Bell refuses to talk to Taco and accept her apologies for what happened.]]
** Inverted in BFB 22, where [[spoiler:Firey and Leafy finally bury the hatchet after the first season finale, and they hug]]([[spoiler:[[FurryReminder it gets Leafy burnt to ashes, though]]]]).
* ShoutOut:
** "What Do You Think of Roleplay" (episode 12)has a plot similar to the video game VideoGame/AmongUs. The episode was released a month after the game, although it could be coincidental.
* ShownTheirWork: In BFB 12, [[spoiler: the impostor on Team Ice Cube, the losing team, was on iance, the second-to-worst team, meaning you didn't know who the impostor was until the very end of the challenge.]]
* SpringtimeForHitler: Lollipop attempts to make a terrible party for Four in BFB 24, complete with a terrible song from Purple Face. [[spoiler:She wins immunity as a result, and chooses Gelatin to be immune alongside her.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gelatin]] for TIC, [[ControlFreak Leafy]] for Beep, and [[SerialKiller Liy]] for Death P.A.C.T. respectively.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Bubble, Lightning, and Ruby for iance, due to them being sweet people who are put on a team with jerks.
* TookALevelInJerkass:
** Leafy was among the nicer characters in BFDI, but she became less nice and more controlling in BFB. [[spoiler:This controlling nature led to her team's loss and her elimination in the second episode, though once she rejoins the game, she’s trying to make up for it]].
** Book was the voice of reason among ''[=FreeSmart=]'', and was generally kinder and more polite than Pencil and Match. This behavior gets thrown out the window after [[spoiler:she develops a deep-rooted belief that Taco abandoned the team and places a firm grip on the JerkassBall. As a result, Book regularly badmouths Taco, is much quicker to anger, and jumps to conclusions far more often.]]
** Foldy, when [[spoiler:Stapy is eliminated.]]
* UnEntendre: In BFB episode 6, A Better Name Than That successfully gets rid of Four by multiplying him by zero (Donut). Tennis Ball and Golf Ball wiggle their eyebrows at the word "factor", much to Donut's annoyance.
-->'''Tennis Ball:''' Well, Four became a... ''factor'' of zero... if you know what I mean.\\
''[Tennis Ball and Golf Ball wiggle their eyebrows intensively]''\\
'''Donut:''' Stop that! There's not even a second meaning there!
* UnfortunateName: Firey decides to name his team "The Losers", because it has Loser in it. [[spoiler: When Loser is eliminated, the name's validity significantly drops.]]
* TheUnpronounceable: Bleh, which is all of the member's names said at the same time. It's impossible in real life, and can only be done through editing.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: Black Hole is a living, active contestant in BFB. Also, Four manages to crush him into a smaller size even though that's {{beyond the impossible}}.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: [[spoiler: Taco's]] jawbreaker. It was put in with her team's swing in episode 3, but the team still chose to ignore it. Contrived stupidity comes in when she finally frees herself and loudly declares it with pieces all around her and they still ignore that.
* VerbalBackspace: In BFB 14, [[spoiler: Four was about to make a snarky comment about Free Food's cheating, but then scratches that and lets them be safe instead.]]
-->'''Four:''' [[spoiler:Nice emeralds! I love a team that commits forgery!]]
-->[[spoiler:''[All of Free Food scream]'']]
-->'''Four:''' [[spoiler: ...commits for Dream Island! You really committed to winning Battle for Dream Island!]]
* VoodooDoll: Balloony's Earth causes 4 to be crushed when Balloony pokes it during Cake At Stake.
* WhamEpisode: Episodes 13, 14, 15, and 16 absolutely wreck the status quo.
** BFB 13/14 shows, among other things [[spoiler: Ice Cube trying to switch off of Bleh (but is still counted as a member), much of Goiky being flooded in lava, many contestants dying in said lava, Book realizing her behavior against Taco has gone too far, and for the first time ever Bleh is up for elimination.]]
** Meanwhile, BFB 15 [[spoiler: gives more information on Firey and Leafy's friendship for the first time since BFDIA, with Firey revealing to Eggy that Leafy stole Dream Island at the end, as well as featuring the return of Clock. In addition, Book now becomes the most hated member of Bleh and Taco tries to process her feelings about Book saving her.]]
** Episode 16 is the point of no return. [[spoiler:The eliminated contestants concoct a plan to escape EXIT, and meanwhile, Four is struggling to eliminate Spongy. This prompts the exitors to change plans and escape through Spongy and, after the remaining BFB contestants catch onto this, start trying to help free them while Four tries doing the opposite. Spongy and Loser are the only ones that manage to escape and, in the midst of Four trying to chase them down and reeliminate them, a new character named Two shows up and starts convincing a majority of BFB's cast to switch to their new show, dubbed The Power of Two. Many contestants do so and rub it into Four's face. Taco and Book also finally make up, and the remaining 14 BFB contestants (which include Spongy and Loser) are sent elsewhere to compete for their competition, while TPOT remains where BFB once took place.]]
