History WebVideo / StampysLovelyWorld

* AnimalMotifs: Cats, dogs, chickens, squid, beavers, elephants, and reindeers all play as prominent characters in this series, with the villains of the series being humans (theoretically). Stampy also has a liking for animal NPCs within the game and doesn't treat them like mere livestock, unlike other ''Minecraft'' players.

* AnimalMotifs: Several characters have this -- Stampy ''Cat'', Lee ''Bear'', iBallistic''Squid'', Sqaishey ''Quack'' (though they have to use a chicken skin instead of a duck one due to version complications), William ''Beaver'', Polly ''Reindeer'', Fizzy ''Elephant''...

* StarterVillainStays: The first real antagonist that opposes Stampy throughout the series (besides the default hostile mobs) is [=HitTheTarget=] himself during the events of "Unexpected Drama". He remains Stampy's ArchEnemy and ends up a recurring villain, with Veeva Dash being introduced as [[TheDragon his assistant]] in "Friends And Foes" three years after.

* MultipleDemographicAppeal: Despite the series being family-friendly from "Crazy Golf Course" onward ([[ParentalBonus at least not immediately]]), the tension and conflict alongside Stampy's open-minded creativity is something that ''everyone'' can watch and admire, including people who are in their 30s and above like 2023 Stampy.

** The "Days Since Stampy Left Me Here: 131290" sign in Episode 680, "Turny Journey".[[note]]Stampy was born on 13 December 1990 in real life.[[/note]]

* ArtifactTitle: The "Funland" part of "Stampy's Funland" is supposed to refer to the location in the ''traditional'' theme park context, in the sense that it's full of rides and sideshow games typical of a real theme park. The inclusion of {{Minigame}}s from Shear Fun onward made this name completely irrelevant, since it no longer matched the concept of a "Funland".

* RevistingTheRoots: Stampy spends the majority of the post-hiatus episodes redesigning or finishing old builds up to his current standard, while simultaneously adding in leftover ideas he had prepared but didn't add beforehand. Eventually, this leads into the GrandFinale.

* SpoilerTitle: Several episodes end up having this, most notably Episode 541, "I Lost" and Episode 542, "Hero Helpers". As a matter of fact, many episodes involving HTT tend to involve this, complete with DarkerAndEdgier thumbnails.

* SimonSaysMiniGame: Played straight with "Stampy Says", which is just a Simon Says mini-game made to work in default ''Minecraft''. The consequences are much more lethal than simply being eliminated from the round, however, in that a player gets dropped into a magma pool and is forced to walk across the magma to get out and restart.
* SimpleYetAwesome: Stampy's bedroom has a fairly plain design, even for something first built in 2012, but has since become one of the most iconic and easily recognizable builds in the Minecraft community. [[spoiler:Since the original design's destruction by [=HitTheTarget=] in Episode 733, "Christmas Invasion", the redesign becomes more elaborate and intricate, though still resembling the original design.]]

* ThePowerOfFriendship: A common theme in the series is teamwork and cooperation, most emphasized in Stampy ''always'' having Helpers in every one of his episodes, and even trying to invite them for the smallest projects. [[BigBad [=HitTheTarget=]]] plays the role of TheCaligula who defies this, as he is a misanthropic power-hungry tyrant who despises friendship and only works for himself. The message stated multiple times over, even at the end, is that Stampy appreciates the experiences he has in the World because of his loyal friends and not because of materialistic desire, unlike HTT, who is nothing '''but''' materialistic.

* JerkassGenie: In his 2014 Halloween special, Stampy tells the story of an evil pig who transforms into a zombie pigman by night called Mr. Porkchop. He was originally a human pig shepherd who was trying to raise the largest pig in order to win a competition. A witch offers to grant his wish for a pig larger than every other in exchange for all his other pigs. When he agrees, she just turns him into a Pigman and takes all his pigs.

* FunWithAcronyms: In Episode 748, "Splendid Shipyard", Stampy names the yacht he spent the two previous episodes constructing the 'Yacht of Amazing Courage and Historic Triumphs', officially shortened as "Y.A.C.H.T".

* ChekhovsGag:
** The {{Rewind Gag}}s leading up to Episode 500, "Memories", turn out to be very important to the plot behind the episode in question.
** The sudden mutings via Remote Mind Vocalizers starting from Episode 513, "Cart Count" become very important in Episode 526, "Saving the World".

* ExtendedDisarming: Episode 100, "Cat to the Future" has Stampy forcing Hit the Target to drop all forms of weapons he has. Granted, it's Minecraft, so it doesn't really give the impression of him carrying a ridiculous amount of items, but the scene was no doubt inspired by this trope.

** Episode 212, "Fight in Flight": Before the [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen unarmed gentlemen's duel on the bridge]], Stampy tells HTT to throw his sword off the edge of his hot-air balloon, but neglected to tell him to throw off his bow as well. Naturally, HTT tries to cheat during the duel using his bow and arrows.
** Episode 261, "Christmas Rescue": For Christmas, Stampy receives a present from "greeny long head" -- an arrow, and the one from "slippery blue face" is a piece of TNT. The [[RuleOfThree third]] present -- wrapped in red and black and "from an [[EvilFormerFriend old friend]]" -- has Hit The Target hiding in it.

** Episode 541, "I Lost": Veeva Dash makes a brief cameo at about the 7:05 mark as she is sneaking into the Doghouse while Stampy is flying over his house. Later in the episode, Stampy noticed something weird had been built on HTT's fortress in his helicopter, who then shoots him and his helicopter down with said weird thing, i.e. an AntiAir cannon.

** Episode 670, "Hacked": Stampy [[spoiler:receives a message that someone else was able to access his account, which he ignored. About 15 seconds later, he lost all of his permissions to interact with his Lovely World]].

-->'''Stampy:''' So there we go, my yacht is called... 'YACHT'. ''(laughs)''

** 2020: Episode 670, "Hacked", which was released on Halloween but nothing particularly Halloween-related happens other than visiting [[{{Hell}} the Nether]]... [[spoiler:until HTT decided to attack]].

* HeartOfHappiness: The Love Garden, the place where Stampy gives his shoutouts, is represented with a pink heart created by Crimson Azoth in the "White Chocolate Paradise" episode.

** While the 'pet' stage was never officially reached, Fizzy did also kill Bernie, an endermite Polly and William were planning on adopting, in Episode 693, "RIP Bernie".

* CloneArmy: In Episode 184, "Clone Calamity", [=HitTheTarget=] tried to use this tactic to distract Stampy and Lee. This concept is recycled in [[spoiler:Episode 700, "Tragic Day", where he and Veeva Dash cloned dogs in the ''dozens'' to ZergRush Stampy]].

* ConstructionIsAwesome: A majority of the ''Lovely World'' episodes are spent building, and needless to say, [[SceneryPorn it pays off]].

** The SS Stumpy. [=HitTheTarget=] also eventually builds one -- which Stampy notes as an impressive build before realizing it was HTT's, which [[EpicShipOnShipAction naturally results in a naval battle]] in Episode 124, ''Sinking Feeling''.

* CourtroomEpisode: Episode 653, "Trial".

* DreamingOfAWhiteChristmas: The SLW takes place relatively up north (since much of the world used to be a cold taiga, and according to the episodes, is quite close to the North Pole geographically) and usually there's snow and ice year-round at least ''somewhere'' in the World. Snowmen are built every year. It certainly helps that snow doesn't melt as easily in Minecraft as it does in real life.

** {{Downplayed|Trope}} in [[spoiler:"Thanks for Watching", the final episode of the series, where [=HitTheTarget=] finally succeeds in forcing Stampy to give up his Lovely World, and leaving it forever. Hit the Target gets what he's always wanted, but since Stampy is content with leaving and brings every friend he's made with him (including ''Veeva Dash'', who abandons Hit the Target), it's made clear that ruling a barren world full of structures that other people built is a rather miserable win.]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: [[spoiler: At the 34:36 mark of the 34:38 minute finale, Veeva Dash is seen following Stampy and his friends out of the world, just as the fade-to-black begins, implying she decided to leave [=HitTheTarget=] after all.]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: [[spoiler: At the 34:36 mark of the 34:38 minute finale, Veeva Dash is seen following Stampy and his friends out of the world, just as the fade-to-black begins, implying she decided to leave HitTheTarget after all.]]

* PoisonAndCureGambit: The plot of Episode 760, "Impossible Choice", revolves around this. [[spoiler:Barnaby is poisoned in Episode 749, "Ten Years Later...", and [=HitTheTarget=]'s plan is to force Stampy into a SadisticChoice between his longtime CanineCompanion's life and his World. Stampy manages to haggle it down to just the Funland, though.]]
