History WebAnimation / TheLazerCollection

** Played with in Part 5, with a boy opening his father's briefcase and getting lazered, his sister opening the same briefcase and getting lazered, and then his mother opening the briefcase and...not being lazered. Instead, she finds love letters to another woman and running out on her husband...who then gets lazered by the briefcase.

-->[[spoiler:'''Dr. Octogonapus''']]: "Feel the power, [[spoiler:Randal]]! Let it seep up your thighs and penetrate your body! Let it penetrate you, [[spoiler:Randal]]!"\\
[[spoiler:'''Randal''']]: "It feels good!"\\
[[spoiler:'''Dr. Octogonapus''']]: "Now release! Let it build up and release!"\\
[[spoiler:'''Randal''']]: "Hnnn… BLAAAAH!!"

--> '''Ron:''' "[[Franchise/HarryPotter Harry]], come quickly! Dumbledore's been in some sort of accident!"
--> '''Harry:''' "Oh my god! Was it serious?"
--> '''Ron:''' "No, it was Snape!"
--> [[LosingHorns *trombone plays, indicating the]] IncrediblyLamePun*
--> '''BLAAAAAH!'''

For some unexplained reason, [[Creator/DomFera DomFera]] has set the Lazer Collection videos to private (i.e., made them inaccessible for anyone but him). However, some fans have managed to make compilations of the Lazer Collection, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKiBaEAUEPk this one]].

* DoubleSubversion: All the videos include some shorts which seem to subvert a perfect opportunity for a lazer, only for one to come from a completely different source (usually Doctor Octogonapus). The Doctor Octogonapus thing itself gets subverted in one short, where he shows up to lazer someone, only for that guy to beat him up… and then lazer him. Quadruple subversion?

* CatchphraseInterruptus: An overeager Aladdin-like guy constantly interrupts Doctor Octogonapus's CatchPhrase as he tries to come up with his first wish (after summoning Doctor Octogonapus from a magic lamp), leading to a very angry Octogonapus lazering him with extreme prejudice, instead of with glee.

* ChekhovsGunman / AscendedExtra: Doctor Octogonapus.

** There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aLIP94KBlw&feature=channel Part 4]], but it's a case of StylisticSuck with a subtext of "[[ArtistDisillusionment Now Shut Up]]."
** There's also a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws4UVguoZjM&feature=feedu Part Five]]. The joke is that, now, anyone who tells him to make a new one is torn to shreds by people yelling, "DO YOU '''WANT''' [[StylisticSuck ANOTHER PART 4]]?!" with the subcontext of, "letting him make one when he FEELS like it."

** In Part 3, the Dirty Boy is blasted by a lazer when attempting to take a shower. In Part 5, the Dirty Boy returns to play piano, only for Dr. Octagonapus to attempt to kill him, before [[OhCrap realizing]] that he accidentally killed him by lodging a shard of glass into his head, causing Dr. Octagonapus [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere to bail]].

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Randall dies at the very beginning of Lazer Collection 5.]]
* BadPowersBadPeople: [[spoiler:When Detective Randall discovers that he has the same powers as Doctor Octogonapus, he joins him.]] At the end of [=TLC5=] trailer it's all but confirmed.

[[spoiler:'''Randall''']]: "Hnnn… BLAAAAH!!"
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Randall is accidentally and abruptly killed by Dr. Octagonapus in the Lazer Collection 5.]]

** At the start of Part 3, Detective Randall's superior gives up on trying to pronounce his last name, but it starts with an "O".
** Later on, another character attempts and fails while talking to Randall over the radio.
** Randall also falls several stories to land on the pavement with his back. He's fine. [[spoiler:His tentacles cushioned his fall.]]

* HumongousMecha: The "Holy Shit" Robot that contains Doctor Octagonapus.

* ItsPersonal: After Randall's first encounter with Doctor Octogonapus…

* KilledOffForReal: Spider-Man, Randall, and Dr. Octagonapus do not return from the dead.

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Detective Randall Octogonapus, Doctor Octogonapus]] is your father!

--> "Oh shit, I already used 'Jim.'"
* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: From what little we've seen of it, the Council of Shoop has all the trappings of one at the very least. [[spoiler:Dr. Octagonapus gets fired from it by Shoop after accidentally killing Randal, who was part of their plans.]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQLKEZzBIZE#t=1m23s]]. ArmorPiercingAttack, [[CallingYourAttacks GO!]]

** And the giant robot who's head opens up to reveal Doctor Octagonapus, who fires his lazer. In the third one, the giant robot accidentally kills someone, leading to Octagonapus running like hell.

-> "'''BLAAAAH!'''"

---> [[spoiler:'''Doctor Octogonapus:''' You are learning well, My Son.]]

--> "Doctor Octo-mother-f[[SoundEffectBleep ***]]ing-gonapus BBLAAAAAAAH!"
* CerebusSyndrome: The first two videos are completely disjointed shorts, each of which end in a lazer. The third video is a random series of shorts, each ending with a lazer, which are tied together by Detective Randal's quest as he discovers the truth behind the random lazer deaths, and struggles with his dark past and destiny. Downplayed, as the disjointed segments are still very silly in nature.

--> '''Doc''': Your steak was cooked to perfection! You know ''nothing'' of good food! BLAH!

--> '''Chief:''' (after Randal falls off a building and slams into the ground) Randal! NO!
--> '''Randal:''' (gets up) I'm fine. But this case was just made personal!

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Detective Randal Octogonapus, Doctor Octogonapus]] is your father!

However, some fans have managed to make compilations of the Lazer Collection, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKiBaEAUEPk this one]].

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: '''"[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory YOU! ARE! A! ''BLAAAAAAHH!!!'']]"'''

* AnimateInanimateObject: The piano in part 5.
* AntiClimax: [[spoiler:The first short of part 2 subverts all expectations by not firing a lazer at all.]]
* AntiHumor: Part 2 opens with a scene of a guy eating a red pepper. No lazers are fired.

* AssholeVictim: The philandering husband and "medium sort-of-rare" jerk in part 5.

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Randal dies at the very beginning of Lazer Collection 5.]]
* BadPowersBadPeople: [[spoiler:When Detective Randal discovers that he has the same powers as Doctor Octogonapus, he joins him.]]
** It's not conclusive, though.
*** At the end of [=TLC5=] trailer it's all but confirmed.
---> [[spoiler: '''Doctor Octogonapus:''' You are learning well, My Son.]]
*** Subverted in Part 5 proper, where it's shown that they've been living a peaceful life for 2 years.

** [[spoiler: In part 5, it's [[HijackedByGanon revealed that he was working for Shoop Da Whoop,]] the actual BigBad.]]

* TheCameo: Doctor Octogonapus in part 7.
* CaptainErsatz: Doctor Octogonapus is basically a flying, Lazer-shooting ComicBook/DoctorOctopus with spastic tentacles. He first appeared in a ''Film/SpiderMan2'' clip after [[ActorAllusion being referred to as]] "Creator/AlfredMolina". There isn't even an effort to disguise it.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The exchange between [[spoiler: Randal and Dr. Octogonapus]] is more than a bit creepy.
--> [[spoiler:'''Dr. Octogonapus''']]: "Feel the power, [[spoiler: Randal]]! Let it seep up your thighs and penetrate your body! Let it penetrate you, [[spoiler: Randal]]!"

** And then in The Lazer Collection 7, [[spoiler: Dr. Octogonapus himself is crushed by a falling piano three seconds after his first appearance.]]

** At the start of part 3, Detective Randal's superior gives up on trying to pronounce his last name, but it starts with an "O".

** Randal also falls several stories to land on the pavement with his back. He's fine. [[spoiler: His tentacles cushioned his fall.]]
* GenieInABottle: Subverted every time. First off, it's never a real genie (the only genie in the series is the "Genie with a dirty mind"), and they're never actually there to grant 3 wishes. Their real purpose is always to '''fire my lazer BLAAAAAH!'''

* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: [[spoiler: Doctor Octogonapus accidentally kills his son in part 5.]]

* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: From what little we've seen of it, the Council of Shoop has all the trappings of one at the very least. [[spoiler: Dr. Octagonapus gets fired from it by Shoop after accidentally killing Randal, who was part of their plans.]]

* RecycledTrailerMusic: The EpicRiff used in parts 1 and 2 was originally used for the infamously bad movie, ''Film/BallisticEcksVsSever'', and has since been associated more with the lazer collection than with the original movie. Thank…god.

* RuleOfThree: Almost played straight in the second collection, with Dr. Octogonapus appearing to blast people three skits in a row, only for the third to end with him being punched out and lazered.
** Played with in part 5, with a boy opening his father's briefcase and getting lazered, his sister opening the same briefcase and getting lazered, and then his mother opening the briefcase and…not being lazered. Instead, she finds love letters to another woman and running out on her husband…who then gets lazered by the briefcase.

** Part 6/7: [[spoiler: PEPPER BATTLE! [[SubvertedTrope The third time, however..]]]]

* SayMyName: Doctor Octogonapus BLAAAAH!
** Judging by the chimney sweep sketch in part 5, he sounds like he's getting tired of saying it.
* SchmuckBait: From the preview of the Lazer Collection 7, the "Do Not Open" box (later "Do Not Open" [[ToiletHumour Butt]]), which contains [[spoiler: a lazer. Obviously]].

* SubvertedTrope: As mentioned above, the first part of part 2 subverts the entire point of the series by not firin' a lazer. And the 5th brings back some more partial CerebusSyndrome, as sort of a double subversion.
** Part 5 has 2 consecutive skits without a lazer.

--> '''Shoop Da Whoop:''' "'''IMMA FIRIN''' MAH—*Colin Mochrie appears in his mouth with [[OminousLatinChanting dramatic music]]*

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Randal]] in part 5 and [[spoiler:Dr. Octogonapus]] in 7. However, given he took a lazer in Part 2 and came out fine in the next episode, the latter might be subverted.

* TrilogyCreep: There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aLIP94KBlw&feature=channel part 4]], but it's a case of StylisticSuck with a subtext of "[[ArtistDisillusionment Now Shut Up]]."

* UnInstallment: Part 4 could be considered a non-episode, as it highlights the results of a rushed production. Played straight with part 7, implying the existence of a non-existent part 6.

For some unexplained reason (possibly OldShame), [[Creator/DomFera DomFera]] has privatized the Lazer Collection videos. However, some fans have managed to make compilations of the Lazer Collection, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKiBaEAUEPk this one]].
