* BaitAndSwitch: "New Bike" has a boy's friend start trying to shoot his parents despite the fact that they ''did'' get him a bike. The boy runs to stop him from shooting his mom, but by the time he gets there, it's too late. The boy ends up crying over her body... because she didn't live long enough to tell him where the bike was. [[spoiler: He almost immediately stops crying when he figures out where the bike is]].

!!!Derrick Comedy sketches provide examples of the following tropes:

* DumbassDJ: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMrdAr7fNjo&feature=related Johnny B and The Cheese]], who stay in-character even after a wolf has massacred everyone else in the studio and is playing mind games with them.
* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: The "Bro Rape" sketch.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRfRLPHk44w He Really Gave It To Me]], which begins by parodying nicknames employees give their bosses. Each time Kevin opens the door, he hears the sound of the nickname given to the boss. It starts with "The Boss" and "Grizzly Bear" and goes downhill quickly. Notable are police sirens, the theme from Film/JurassicPark, Music/JamesBrown being put to sleep, a father explaining sex to his son with a poor choice of props, and three [[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis]] impersonators ordering at a restaurant where the kitchen is out of a lot of stuff.
* {{Fratbro}}: The rape of them is the subject of "Bro Rape."
* MoodWhiplash:
** A pretty extreme example. [[http://youtu.be/oQp7Id8iRA4 In Keyboard Kid, Jeffrey starts out cheerfully dancing to the beats of his sampler keyboard]]:
--->"My name is Jeffrey! Cool! Alright! C-c-cool! Alright! Get down! Check it out! Cool! Alright! C-c-cool! Alright! G-g-g-get down! Kick it! '''If I mess up my dad's gonna beat me!''' (''[[{{Beat}} 7-second silence]]'') Cool! Alright! C-Cool!"

Thankfully [[OnlySaneMan she turned it down]].
* PottyFailure: "Jerry", who pretends to be the "new kid" and later the principal in desperation to hide this.
* RealityWarper: Thomas Jefferson, who according to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poEo6So0knU&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL this sketch]] is like a mix between a TimeLord and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]].
