!!This animated short provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: Fifi, Dubois' poodle.
* AllThereInTheScript: We never actually hear the names "Dubois" and "Weatherby"-- they only insult each other (Weatherby calls Dubois "the Marquis du Manstrumpet" and Dubois calls Weatherby "Sir Dingleberry").
* AnimalGenderBender: Fifi piddles (and humps shoes) like a male dog. Undoubtedly due to RuleOfFunny.
* BigRedButton: Dubois' mech has one, which combines EjectionSeat and HumanCannonball to launch Fifi at Weatherby as a final attack.
* BringMyBrownPants: Used as an insult by Dubois.
-->"Fifi says she can smell the fear ''(Fifi yaps)''-- in '''''your pants!'''''"
* ButLiquorIsQuicker: Used as an insult by Weatherby when Dubois offers the lady champagne:
-->"Oh, of course, alcohol-- the ''French'' recipe for romance!"
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: {{Defied|Trope}} by Dubois:
-->"Fifi, we shall ''never'' surrender!" ''(launches her at Weatherby)''
* CompeteForTheMaidensHand: The duel. However, neither party bothered to ask what the lady's opinion of the matter was, or even try to avoid trashing her home during the fight. [[spoiler:They flee when they think she was killed in the scuffle, but it turns out she decided to have sex with the butler.]]
* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler:Both men sheepishly run off when they think they've killed the lady.]]
* DistantReactionShot: When the two mechs slam into each other and explode.
* DistractedByTheSexy:
** Weatherby when he first arrives.
-->"Ah, m'lady, your grace is matched only by your boobies, I mean beauty."
** The butler when the lady's breasts jiggle from the mechs' footsteps shaking the ground.
* DogStereotype: Fifi embraces poodle stereotypes wholeheartedly.
* FrenchJerk: Dubois, in spades. Though Weatherby can't really make any claim to superior moral fiber here...
* FreudianSlip: Weatherby makes one because he's DistractedByTheSexy:
-->"Your grace is only matched by your boobies-- I mean your ''beauty!''"
* {{Gainaxing}}: All the time from the lady. Note the parody of the BadVibrations moment in ''Film/JurassicPark''.
* GloveSlap: Made funnier by the fact that while both men keep unwittingly clobbering the lady as tensions escalate, the slap itself barely disturbs Dubois' mustache.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Before the judo, wrestling, and missile attacks are broken out.
* GroinAttack: Both on the mechs and on Weatherby himself (when his mech breaks he ends up with an electric eel in a very bad place).
* HairReboot: After Weatherby's GloveSlap musses his mustache, Dubois somehow wills it back into place.
* HumongousMecha: As the two gentlemen walk ten paces and begin to face each other, they dash in the opposite directions, jump into giant {{Steampunk}} robots, and begin a robot hand-to-robot hand duel.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: The lady's dresses.
* TheJeeves: The lady's butler is very good at protecting her from collateral damage.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: The butler throws a shoe at Fifi [[spoiler:for interrupting his vigorous bout of sex with the lady]].
* MaleGaze: A lot of attention is given to the Lady's ample bosom, including in-universe by the butler during the {{gainaxing}} moment, and from both gentlemen prior.
* MarshmallowHell: For the butler, when the lady panics during the climax of the mech battle.
* MidBattleTeaBreak: They are gentlemen, after all. When tea ends, they pick up exactly where they left off, screams and all.
* MisterMuffykins: Dubois' poodle Fifi.
* NationalAnimalStereotypes: In addition to Dubois having a French poodle, the head of his mecha has a decidedly amphibian appearance.
* NiceJobBreakingItRivals: Over the course of the short film the gentlemen manage to sock the lady in the face repeatedly, destroy much of her estate and part of her mansion... [[spoiler:and seemingly kill her]].
* NiceToTheWaiter: [[AvertedTrope Not these two!]] They don't even acknowledge the butler, treating him little more than a walking hat rack.
* PhallicWeapon: Dubois' final attack extends a cannon from the groin of his mech, then launches Fifi like a mortar.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Both men get pretty ridiculous ones.
* PsychoElectricEel: Weatherby's mech uses them to power a ShockAndAwe attack.
* {{Pun}}:
** As Dubois launches the fist-rocket at Weatherby, he taunts "How about some break-FIST?"
** Weatherby's retort just before his [[ShockAndAwe eel attack]]: "How about some French toast?"
* RescueSex: The mechs cause immense collateral damage to the lady's home, so the real gentleman would be whoever shows enough care for her self-being, yes? [[spoiler:That honor goes to her butler, with her suitors none the wiser.]]
* RocketPunch: Dubois' mech has one, with the fist attached on a chain.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: While most of the comedy violence happens to the two men during the second half of the show, the lady suffers her share of abuse right at the beginning.
* TenPacesAndTurn: The two gentlemen take ten paces, then dash off into the woods to get to their HumongousMecha.
* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: The duelists disregard the safety of the lady and her property, proving that neither Weatherby nor Dubois are deserving of her affections. [[spoiler:The reveal at the end shows she and her butler are disrobed and having sex.]]
* ThisMeansWar: Uttered by Dubois.
* TitleDrop:
-->'''Dubois:''' So, you wish to meet on the field of honor, ''monsieur''?\\
'''Weatherby:''' Yes, a duel... a ''gentlemen's'' duel.
* ToiletHumor:
** The DistantReactionShot at the end shows a bird drop a turd from a tree branch.
** After Fifi is ejected from Dubois' mech and slams into Weatherby, she stands on her target and pees on his face.
* Creator/TomKenny: The voice of Weatherby.
* {{Troperrific}}: Look at this list, and consider that the film runs a bit under eight minutes.
* UnEvilLaugh: Weatherby, who has a high-pitched "haw haw haw!" that borders on a NoblewomansLaugh.
* UrineTrouble: Fifi adds insult to injury after being fired at Weatherby.
* VolleyingInsults: "Knicker nibbler!" "Poodle piddler!" "Monkey spanker!" "Cheese pirate!"
* XRaySparks: When Dubois is hit by Weatherby's eel-powered attack.
* YouCanBarelyStand: After their mechs blow, both men crawl towards each other to fight to the end[[spoiler: -- until they realize they might just have killed the woman they fought over, and then find the strength to run off]].
* YourMother:
-->'''Dubois:''' What would ''you'' know of love?
-->'''Weatherby:''' Your mother can answer that, Monsieur le Poopypants!
