1 | '''Fictosophy''' is a Website/YouTube channel based in Duluth, [[MinnesotaNice Minnesota]]. It technically got its start in 2015 when [[Tropers/AwSamWeston Samuel T Weston]] declared that it would make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN9gB0xdH94 20 short films in 2015.]] Which fizzled out. But then, in 2016, Sam reaffirmed that goal by releasing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eid8o7ukzMc "Translating Minnesota Nice"]] and a few other short films. |

7 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Tom, the titular character in [[https://youtu.be/h330dRPVE74 "Jedi Coworker,"]] goes to the office wearing Jedi robes. He's good at his job, according to his manager, but he's still a superfan. |
8 | * ChristmasRushed: "The Best Case Scenario" was made in less than a week just to have something for April Fools Day. |
9 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: In "Jedi Coworker," Tom is ''so much'' of a Star Wars fan that he organizes a Jedi Temple, not realizing that Steve, his coworker, isn't interested. |
10 | * FatAndProud: As seen in the announcement video, Sam has no problem with people calling him fat. |
11 | --> '''Sam''': I have plenty of big ideas to change the--\ |
12 | '''Troll''': Heh. Big. Like you.\ |
13 | '''Sam''': (''beat'') You gotta work on your trolling, sir. |
14 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: "Jedi Coworker." Everyone's had it up to ''here'' with Tom's shenanigans. The only one who's okay with it is Shannon, who also happens to be the manager. |
15 | * FunWithSubtitles: On top of moving the text to anywhere ''but'' the "sub" area, "Translating Minnesota Nice" also plays around with the characters' meaning. |
16 | * GodwinsLaw: Fulfilled by the third short, "The Best Case Scenario." |
17 | --> '''Trump:''' I campaigned for the same things as Hitler. Ya got that? Hitler! |
18 | * ManChild: Tom, in "Jedi Coworker," goes to the office wearing Jedi robes. |
19 | --> '''Steve:''' Tom should be ashamed of himself for acting like such a child! |
20 | * MinnesotaNice: "Translating Minnesota Nice" takes the typical passive-aggressive nature and removes the "passive" part with subtitles of what they ''really'' mean. |
21 | * ScareCampaign: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE5hxnXivxI "The Best Case Scenario"]] ends up being an attack ad on Donald Trump's campaign. |
22 | * SelfDeprecation: The announcement video, [[https://youtu.be/YN9gB0xdH94 "On The Next: Fictosophy,"]] features an internet troll caricature who makes fun of Sam. |
23 | ** After the plans for 2015 fell through, annotations were added that poked fun at Sam's ineptitude. |
24 | * SpiceUpTheSubtitles: When a line goes "Oh. Okay den" and reads "Oh!... This is a pickle," you know the subtitler had a little too much fun. |
25 | * TakeThatAudience: "The Best Case Scenario" shows a fictionalized Creator/DonaldTrump calling out his own voters. |
