!!''The Most Epic Story Ever Told in All of Human History'' provides examples of:

* BadassBeard: Captain Epic sports a very long, grey beard that is long enough to reach his knees. He also acts very much like a laid-back CoolOldGuy.
* BaldOfEvil: Ridiculously Epic and Ridiculously Epic Fail. However, considering the majority of the cast is bald too, they do not stand out as much.
* BigBad: Ridiculously Epic instigates most of the problems in the series, including [[DetonationMoon destroying the moon]] and [[StarKilling the sun]] during the trailer alone.
* BumblingSidekick: While not treated with derision, Epic Fail is this to Epic-Man and Ridiculously Epic Fail is this to Ridiculously Epic due to each being the SideKick to their respective hero/villain, and their constant propensity for {{Epic Fail}}ures.
* CoolBoard: Little Miss Epic and the Epic Skatepark Owner both ride a cool skateboard.
* CoolOldGuy: Captain Epic is a laid-back old man.
* DetonationMoon: Ridiculously Epic destroys the moon at the end of the trailer.
* DullSurprise: [[BuffySpeak Epic Robot Guy]] is a deliberate example. He is completely unenthused and seems bored about singing the "epic" trailer song, in contrast to the enthusiasm of the other characters.
* EpicFail:
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Epic Fail]], of course! In the trailer alone, he starts by going in the opposite direction of his objective, crashing into a brick wall, immediately slipping on a banana peel after his surprisingly graceful landing, and then blowing up his toaster by trying to warm up his DVD player in it. All in just a few seconds of screentime!
** His EvilCounterpart Ridiculously Epic Fail as well. [[PokeThePoodle He attempts to blow up a random TNT box]] that causes him to crash into a BigRedButton. Hitting this activates a rain of kittens and sunshine and makes the world look like a happier place, accomplishing the exact opposite of his EvilPlan.
* EvilCounterpart: Ridiculously Epic Fail is this to Epic Fail. They are both the BumblingSidekick on their respective side, both prone to frequent InopportuneVoiceCracking, and both [[EpicFail fail constantly]]. But while Epic Fail seems to have neutral motives at worst, Ridiculously Epic Fail was trying to blow stuff up, and seemed horrified by his actions leading to increased happiness in the world instead.
* {{Expy}}: Captain Epic has a suspiciously similar voice to [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]].
* FacePalm: Epic-Man ends the trailer with one.
* TheHero: Epic-Man, the second character introduced. He [[CatUpATree saves a "poorly drawn alien cat" from falling to its death]] in his EstablishingCharacterMoment.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Ridiculously Epic Fail tries to [[MadeOfExplodium cause a random explosion]] in the trailer. [[GoneHorriblyRight He succeeds... but the resulting explosion causes him to crash into a button]] that [[EpicFail causes cute kittens and sunshine to rain down and bring more joy to the world]].
* IncomingHam: [[EvilIsHammy Ridiculously Epic]] introduces himself to the series by dancing [[MadeOfExplodium next to some explosions]] and singing [[NoIndoorVoice loudly and aggressively]].
* InopportuneVoiceCracking: Both Epic Fail and Ridiculously Epic Fail have voice cracks constantly, befitting their status as the series' {{Epic Fail}}ures.
* LargeHam: [[BigBad Ridiculously Epic]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ridiculously Epic Fail]], who each spend their EstablishingCharacterMoment [[ChewingTheScenery screaming the trailer song beat while acting over-dramatic]]. [[MadeOfExplodium This includes causing random explosions]]. To a lesser extent, the Epic Skatepark Owner, who still sings aggressively but is not as [[EvilIsHammy unrestrained]] as the other two.
* LittleMissBadass: [[MeaningfulName Little Miss Epic]] is a teenage girl able to skateboard and jumprope at the same time.
* MadeOfExplodium: The setting as a whole seems to be this. The trailer alone contains several explosions, including [[IncomingHam Ridiculously Epic's stage entrance]], the random TNT box that Ridiculously Epic Fail throws a match at, the stack of TNT boxes that Ridiculously Epic blows up [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext with his fire breath that he got from eating the sun]], and Epic Fail’s toaster during TheStinger.
* {{Narrator}}: The Epic Narrator is [[ImpliedTrope implied]] to be taking on this role in the series proper.
* PowerUpFood: Epically Avoids You drinks a glass of water that gives her huge muscles.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Ridiculously Epic, Epic Robot Guy, and Ridiculously Epic Fail all have red eyes and appear to be evil. Ridiculously Epic is outright confirmed to be evil when he [[DetonationMoon destroys the moon]] and [[StarKilling the sun]] at the end of the trailer.
* StarKilling: Ridiculously Epic [[ChewingTheScenery EATS]] the sun.
* ThemeNaming: Every character's name is some variation of the word "epic".
* ThickLineAnimation: The series' art-style.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The Epic Narrator speaks with some vaguely European accent.
