* StealthPun: In Episode 3, when Yahtze is attempting to greet the new recruits, Dan repeatedly goes on non-sequitors, ignoring the captain. Right up until Yahtze hurls what [[FreezeFrameBonus appears to be]] a broken teapot. This is the username of his voice actor.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In Episode 5, having failed to climb the walls of the Vrauden Force compound, decides to just launch the package over the walls via catapult, and walks away... before realizing he still ''needs to actually talk to someone to get paid for it''.

** Episode 7 has a more justifiable one, as Captain Yahtz gives a clear explanation on what the battle plans are. [[spoiler:Sadly, the radio static on the ship [[LostInTransmission makes his speech nigh-unintelligible to the trio]], causing Dan to mishear his orders to be "cautious and sneaky" as "obnoxious and freaky."]] [[spoiler:Cue the trio waltzing onto the beach and [[LeeroyJenkins firing in random directions]] [[FriendlyFire nearly shooting Yahtz in the process, no less]]!]] [[spoiler:[[ButWaitTheresMore But it doesn't end there]]; Aisan pulls the pin on a HolyHandGrenade by accident while letting out a sigh of relief. After a brief round of GrenadeHotPotato, Yahtz exasperatedly chucks the grenade off into the distance. The explosion alerts the Speznatz to their location, and just as they climb out from the rubble the trio are stuck under fire.]]

*** Extra points for the fact that [[spoiler:Yahtz threw the grenade ''in a random direction''. The sheer ''power'' of that explosion could've probably [[WeCouldveAvoidedThisPlot annihilated the Speznatz camp]]!]]

[[note]]From top-down, left-to-right: Kloan, [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Artisan]], [[TokenGoodTeammate Anya]], [[CuteMute Aisan]], [[CloudCuckoolandersMinder Jackoo]], and [[IdiotHero Dan]][[/note]]]]



* AchievementsInIgnorance: Dan covering the hole he dug with grass before attempting his climb above the wall [[spoiler:saved Jack's and Aisan's lives; two extremely psychotic Vrauden Soldiers would've killed them brutally otherwise...]]
* AndThisIsFor: Artisan delivers a punch to the front gate guard on behalf of Happy George, saying this verbatim.



* AxCrazy: Captain Yahtze is very clearly unhinged. His very first, knee-jerk reaction to [[spoiler:finding out that three college-age civilians managed to slip into his ranks]] was to ''pull out his gun'' on the trio. [[spoiler:The only reason he didn't shoot them on sight is because it would reveal that his InstantMessengerPigeon commmunication was a complete flop.]]

* AxCrazy: Captain Yahtze is very clearly unhinged.unhinged, only furthered by his sanity literally shooting itself inside of his head. His very first, knee-jerk reaction to [[spoiler:finding out that three college-age civilians managed to slip into his ranks]] was to ''pull out his gun'' on the trio. [[spoiler:The only reason he didn't shoot them on sight is because it would reveal that his InstantMessengerPigeon commmunication was a complete flop.]]



* BadassArmy: The Vrauden Force definitely falls into this.
--> '''Yahtz''': It would be a suicide mission, alright... if we were not the VRAUDEN FORCE! Where every man of ours can kill at least five [[LargeHam THOUSAND]] Spetznaz scum! *points to Aisan* Nine thousand for you.



* {{Cliffhanger}}: Episode 7 [[spoiler:ends with Jack and Dan looking down to see a grenade at their feet, in the middle of a firefight where they're outnumbered 900-4.]]



* EpicFail: The entirety of the trio's plot is started by Dan getting these constantly. They get fired from the coffee shop they work at because Dan caused an explosion in the kitchen... ''through the plain product of coffee''.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In Episode 5, having failed to climb the walls of the Vrauden Force compound, decides to just launch the package over the walls via catapult, and walks away... before realizing he still ''needs to actually talk to someone to get paid for it''.
** Captain Yahtz also suffers from this, but is much more justified in that he's had to essentially come up with his plan on the spot. [[spoiler:While he's got a good enough plan given what he has to work with, he still hasn't decided what he's going to do with the trio ''after'' they clear the South Bay.]] This line best exemplifies it:
---> '''Yahtz''': [[spoiler:Do I keeeeep them? Do I whaaaaack 'em?]] Eh, that's for future Yahtz to figure out!
* EpicFail: Almost every episode has one:
**
The entirety of the trio's plot is started by Dan getting these constantly. They get fired from the coffee shop they work at because Dan caused an explosion in the kitchen... ''through the plain product of coffee''. And ''the fails don't stop there''; he attempts to tranquilize a bird later in the episode, only to end up using too big of a dart, causing the poor thing to get [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice pierced through the chest]].
** Episode 3 has Dan do a [[BadLiar terrible job]] at providing legitimate, believable lies. Case in point, when Yahtz marvels at the speed of their arrival, Dan gets the bright idea of bragging that they travelled "Pave-Low style"[[note]]By helicopter[[/note]], at which point Yahtz states he was told they arrived on foot. Cue Jackoo [[DopeSlap punching Dan upside the head]].
** Dan's not the only one who fails ridiculously at each turn; Episode 4 begins with Artisan monologuing about how to divide the shares for the delivery, only to realize [[WhoIsDriving nobody's driving the car, and he's been talking to himself the whole time]]. Cue sudden sharp turn railroaded by a tree, and Artisan's priceless expression.
** Of course, Dan isn't immune to the treatment anyway; Episode 4 has him break off the windup key to a Nyan Cat toy, and falling off of the wall after climbing 900 feet.
** Episode 6 has Dan and Aisan messing around with flash bangs, only to get BlindedByTheLight. Then, Aisan somehow managed to ''[[BeyondTheImpossible vomit up another flash]]''.
* FourStarBadass: Captain Yahtz is able to survive having a building collapse on top of him after being socked hard enough to be launched into said building, and he's also the Captain of the local Vrauden Force regimen.


Added DiffLines:

* MegatonPunch: Aisan delivers one to Yahtz when he's first meeting them. Despite it causing Yahtz to get a building dropped on him, he not only shrugs it off, but he develops a hearty ''respect'' for her!

Deliverance is a comedy-centric, episodic WebAnimation series created by [[https://www.deviantart.com/pparreira Pedro, or "PParreira"]].


The series centers around a trio of college-aged screwups named [[UnluckyEverydude Jackoo]], [[IdiotHero Dano]], and [[HypercompetentSidekick Ai]][[CuteMute san]], having just been fired from their last available job in their home city of Everance, end up seemingly getting a break when they find a note from a military organization sending out for fresh recruits. HilarityEnsues in their endeavors to masquerade as soldiers.

On the other side of the spectrum, a delivery company called Raft Saga, headed by the sleazeball Artisan, is deciding on who will participate in the next big delivery for their company: a shipment of illegal weapons... to the same military organization.

This series has been in development for a ''while'', with the first few episodes coming out in 2010-2012, and the most recent one being released in 2017.

Not to be confused with the 1972 film ''Film/{{Deliverance}}''.


!!Deliverance contains examples of:

* ArtEvolution / AnimationBump: ''And how''. Compare [[https://www.deviantart.com/pparreira/art/Deliverance-Ep-1-175276429 this first episode's]] animation to [[https://www.deviantart.com/pparreira/art/Deliverance-Ep-7-678578056 this]], and one starts to get a clear picture as to why each episode has been such a long wait!
* AxCrazy: Captain Yahtze is very clearly unhinged. His very first, knee-jerk reaction to [[spoiler:finding out that three college-age civilians managed to slip into his ranks]] was to ''pull out his gun'' on the trio. [[spoiler:The only reason he didn't shoot them on sight is because it would reveal that his InstantMessengerPigeon commmunication was a complete flop.]]
* AssPull: Aisan tends to pull quite a few miracles out of nowhere, lampshading this with a troll face.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Dan and Jack regularly play with this both in and out of the main series. A lot of the humor revolves around Dan doing something stupid, and Jack pointing out how ridiculous he's being.
* CuteMute: Aisan is cute as a button, doesn't speak a word, and is still as ever-helpful and quirky as her friends.
** ElectiveMute: Confirmed via WordOfGod.
* CloudCuckoolander: Most of the characters are this.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Artisan is not afraid to sabotage other companies in order to secure deliveries for his own; not to mention, he isn't above delivering illegal weaponry to psychotic military organizations. That said, he's still willing to punch out an armed soldier as revenge for his old coworkers.
* {{Determinator}}: Artisan ''will'' deliver that package, or die trying!
* DevelopmentHell: An unfortunate side effect of the increased animation quality, as mentioned above. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in Episode 7, with Dan acting as if 3 years had passed, despite Jackoo reminding him they'd only been riding in the boat for 5 minutes.
* DramaticIrony: Good lord, ''yes''. A large chunk of the plot at the time of writing ''breathes'' this trope. [[spoiler:To start with, Episodes 3 and 4 are almost entirely dedicated to the trio fooling Captain Yahtze into believing they're legitimate soldiers, while trying to worm their way out. THEN, after the events of Episode 5, the gambit switches to Yahtze trying to cover up his screw-up by going through with the mission with as few witnesses as possible. THEN, in episode 6, as Artisan very nearly makes his way towards Yahtze to get the package delivered, Yahtze rushes the Hardwhistle's departure under the belief that Artisan was really the health inspector that Alan called.]]
* EpicFail: The entirety of the trio's plot is started by Dan getting these constantly. They get fired from the coffee shop they work at because Dan caused an explosion in the kitchen... ''through the plain product of coffee''.
* GilliganCut: In episode 4, Dan attempts to get them out of the Vrauden Force compound by digging under the wall. [[spoiler:No matter how deep he goes, the wall still seems to be there. As he's deciding what to do next, a [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} creeper]] rushes him from behind, and the camera cuts to the surface, with Dan having been exploded, but resolving to go above the wall.]]
* IdiotHero: Dan. When he's not failing to understand how dangerous the situation is, he doesn't seem to care.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Jackoo is no stranger to being silly, either. As a matter of fact, most of his grouchiness is usually a result of the severity of their situation or a lack of [[FantasticDrug rainbows]] in his system.
--> '''Jackoo''': You know what? I think we're gonna be just fine.
--> '''Aisan''': *searches her pockets, and after a moment of confusion, launches a DeathGlare at Jackoo*
--> '''Jackoo''': *his eyes open, flashing in rainbow colors* Trust me, I need these happy shots.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Aisan has this. However, most of her color scheme is green anyway.
* SociopathicSoldier: Much of the Vrauden Force seems to be made up of them, as evidenced by both a few of the grunts' murderous tendencies, Raft Saga's accounts on their treatment of Happy George, and Yahtze ''completely snapping'' at first [[spoiler:upon finding out Jackoo, Dano and Aisan aren't really soldiers.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Anya is this for Raft Saga. She's the only one to have been against the delivery to the Vrauden Force from the very beginning; the rest of the company backs out, but only ''after'' they find out it's the [[TheDreaded Vrauden Force]] they're delivering to.
