History WesternAnimation / XavierRenegadeAngel

* GreenAesop: Several episodes have Xavier make attempts to protect the environment and/or teach people to do same, such as "Bloodcorn". This goes as well as anything else.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Although he does display some heterosexual tendencies (like peeping in on a showering woman in the first episode), Xavier's frequent DoubleEntendre and accidental innuendos (as well as having sex with a coworker while crossdressed as a gigantic black woman in the same episode where he marries the widow of a man he kills) leaves it entirely unclear what his true sexual orientation could be. His snake hand, however, is referenced to be bisexual. Though it's only characterized this way in one episode ("El Tornadador"), but considering how confusing the continuity of the show usually is... but then again, it isn't even certain that Xavier is biologically male, as it's shown several times that he has a large eye (or as he calls it, his “Peni”.) in place of genitalia.

* DoubleEntendre: Quite often, Xavier will say something that sounds more sexual than intended. For instance, in one episode, a prehistoric woman tells Xavier her husband beats her because he loves her. Xavier responds "If that's love, I'm going to make some love to his mouth!"

* ThatCameOutWrong: Xavier has a penchant for this.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Xavier seems to operate on a different value system than normal humans.

* MirrorMatch: Two Xaviers engage in an insult battle and a "Shakashuri Blowdown" during the season 1 finale. Its ultimately judged a tie.

* ThirdEye: Except Xavier's is where his penis should be.

* VertigoEffect: Played with when a man points at Xavier from far away. After the zoom effect is done, we get a side view showing that the camera didn't zoom out, and the guy's arm just stretched so his hand is right in Xavier's face.

** The most likely explanation for what he actually is comes from “World of Hurt, BC”, where during a trip though a MetalWorld, he sees a vision the night he was conceived; his mother, about to have sex with a [[BestialityIsDepraved an eagle, a buffalo, two chimpanzees and a goat.]]

[[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere Describe]] ''[[MindScrew Xavier: Renegade Angel]]'' [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext here]]...? [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs Oh boy]]...

Probably the weirdest show [adult swim] has ever produced ([[Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob and]] [[WesternAnimation/TwelveOunceMouse that]][[WesternAnimation/OffTheAir is]] [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce saying]] [[WesternAnimation/PerfectHairForever a]] [[Series/TheHeartSheHoller lot]]), ''Xavier'' was largely one huge MindScrew, with the title character speaking in a near-continuous, stream-of-consciousness...well, ''stream'' of dialogue ranging from narrative and conversation to puns and portmanteaus to "unintentional" double-entendres and callbacks. The show's only real coherent narrative revolves around a subplot involving Xavier's incredibly screwed-up childhood and the death of his parents.

'''Xavier:'''No, it was MY son.\\

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Repeated over and over like a MadnessMantra after he causes the deaths of a group of [[HumanPopsicle cryogenically frozen people]] by [[LiterallyShatteredLives shattering their partially frozen 1bodies.]]

Created by PFFR--the minds behind ''Series/WonderShowzen''--for Creator/AdultSwim, ''Xavier: Renegade Angel'' is, on the surface, about an angel who has defected from Heaven. Good luck finding out what it is ''really'' about, though. The eponymous Xavier is either an actual fallen angel or just a cosmic abomination that was disowned by his mother. Forced to WalkTheEarth because everyone hates him, Xavier seeks enlightenment and tries to help people--but at worst, he creates problems where none exist and causes tons of carnage, and at best, he somehow gets ''everyone'' to put aside their differences and join together for the common (and usually justified) goal of ''beating him senseless''.

Created by PFFR--the minds behind ''Series/WonderShowzen''--for Creator/AdultSwim, ''Xavier: Renegade Angel'' is, on the surface, about an angel who has defected from Heaven. Good luck finding out what it is ''really'' about, though. The eponymous Xavier is either an actual fallen angel or just a cosmic abomination that was abandoned by his mother. Forced to WalkTheEarth because everyone hates him, Xavier seeks enlightenment and tries to help people--but at worst, he creates problems where none exist and causes tons of carnage, and at best, he somehow gets ''everyone'' to put aside their differences and join together for the common (and usually justified) goal of ''beating him senseless''.

* BloodyMurder: One episode ends with an army of killer Indians made out of blood when a rich old man [[InsaneTrollLogic tries to mine an Indian burial ground for blood to inject into himself so he can legally own an Indian casino.]] After Xavier gets involved, armies of cowboys and terrorists show up.

* CrapsackWorld: Even ignoring [[PersonOfMassDestruction Xavier's]] presence in it, nearly every location shown in the series is a dilapidated shithole inhabited primarily by [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]]. The rare characters who are genuinely good-natured always end up meeting gruesome ends thanks to [[DoomMagnet Xavier]]. Then again, so does everybody else. On top of all that, reality-distorting supernatural horrors seem to be commonplace, though they generally only cause problems when [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Xavier provokes them]].

* TheMentor: In flashbacks, Xavier is frequently seen conversing with Chief Master Guru, an old Native American shaman-type character who acts as his abusive spiritual guide before dying and sending him off into the world (though he was really just playing dead to get him to go away.)

* NewAgeRetroHippie: Xavier is a DeconstructiveParody of this trope. He's a dimwitted loser who uses New Age philosophy and Native American mysticism to make himself look more noble and sophisticated than the people around him, but causes more harm than good when he actually tries to live up to his beliefs.

* PsychopathicManchild: While Xavier always means well, it's clear he's a total lunatic. His basic response to any problem is to walk in with no clue what's going on, [[BlatantLies poorly]] act like he knows what he's doing, screw everything up, and then throw a hissy fit if someone suggests he's done something wrong. In the first episode of Season 2, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext an assimilated Humanity in the form of a flesh "Mother Mary who's breasts are being sucked upon by Buddha" statue]] asks him "What are you going to do, tell your mommy?" after calling him a freak-and Xavier answers "[[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Yes, That's EXATCLY what I am going to do!]]". His trying to find his mother in order to do so is the basic plot of the second season.

* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: Among the damage Xavier has caused either directly or indirectly: burning down his own house and killing both his parents, turning an entire town into an infected computer in "What Life D-d-Doth", creating a massive living explosion which cannot dissipate in "Weapons Grade Life", wounding ''God'' causing a rain of blood in "Bloodcorn", blowing up the Burning Person effigy and killing all but 2 of the people at the festival in "Escape from Squatopian Freedom", turning the Earth into one homogeneous mass and then destroying it in "Vibracaust", making a massive tornado in "El Tornadador", literally tearing a hole in the fabric of space time in "Haunted Tonk", and stopping the rotation of the Earth thus causing the entire world to freeze over in "Going Normal".

* AbusiveParents: Xavier had these. In "Vibracaust", he tells his mother that his pet parakeet feeds her children every day, and then asks why she doesn't do the same thing. Xavier himself acts this way to a giant sperm in "Escape from Squatopian Freedom", though he learns to love it [[spoiler:just before it kills itself]].

** To make matters worse, on that episode, the darn eye also EJACULATES A SENTIENT DOG-LIKE SPERM.

* MindScrew: The entire point of the show. If you are sober (or drunk on plain ol' liquor), prepare to be confused. If you have taken any other kind of mind-altering substance, prepare to be wowed, terrified, or both. It's almost a parody of {{Mind Screw}}s, while it may seem completely nonsensical, each episode can be attributed to different philosophical themes, but in the end of pretty much every situation, the moral of the story is, "Don't read too deeply into things or fucked up shit like this happens!" Seriously, every problem he creates can be attributed to him trying TOO HARD to be philosophical and spiritual. The creators half-jokingly claim that the show was meant to warn viewers about the dangers of spirituality.

** One episode features a close-up of a mosquito sucking the entirety of fluid out of someone's eyeball.

* GagPenis: At the end of the first episode, the man who picks up Xavier, shows his weiner at him. Afterwards, his head inexplicably explodes.

** Dialogue is often subject to ManipulativeEditing, with WebAnimation/YouTubePoop style sentence mixing, where characters will say things in other characters' voices, and certain words being obviously replaced with either punched-in dialogue or the same word from earlier in the sentence used over and over.

!! What Doth Tropes?

** In episode 8, something similar happens to Xavier himself. However, it should be called [[EyesDoNotBelongThere "Gag Eye"]],´cause Xavier has a third eye there.

* StylisticSuck: Invoked, as it adds to the weird and uncanniness of the show. The show's crude CGI graphics were achieveable on consumer-grade [=PCs=] even back in 2007, but they fit with the show's overall weirdness.
