3 | * '''Exaggerated''': ''Falco's Fun Land'' has hordes of animatronics and every one of them has been responsible for at least one death and one maiming with guests, staff members, repairmen, etc. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': ''Falco's Fun Land'' has three animatronics: Falco Flamingo, Finnick Fox, and Franny Frog. Finnick has been involved in a few "accidents" with guests and staff, but nobody was seriously hurt or killed. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** Someone pushed the victim into a position where the animatronic could do damage. |
7 | ** The animatronics are [[AIIsACrapShoot GIGOing on ill-phrased instructions]]. |
8 | ** The animatronics are [[HauntedTechnology possessed by demons or hostile restless spirits]]. |
9 | ** The animatronics were designed that way on purpose, and the funny performances they do are helpful cover-ups. |
10 | ** [[NoOSHACompliance Critical safeties (such as overpressure triggered cutoffs) were overridden in an attempt to get them working for the day]]. |
11 | ** The animatronics were made using parts from heavy industrial robots in a misguided attempt to make them TonkaTough. |

13 | * '''Subverted''': During a show, the animatronics come towards a man, wildly swinging their arms as if to beat him -- but it turns out the man had a bomb in his hand and planned to blow up part of the crowd. |
14 | * '''Double Subverted''': But then Falco and his friends cause some havoc themselves; they just attacked the bomber because they didn't want any outsider stealing their playthings. |
15 | * '''Zigzagged''': Falco and his buddies are openly programmed to have two modes: Happy fun fun kid-friendly fun mode, and '''absolute slaughter fest''' mode. [[ParanoiaFuel They can switch modes at any moment]]. |
16 | * '''Parodied''': Falco says things like "Hi kids! Wanna see my flamethrower?" No one bats an eyelash. |
17 | * '''Averted''': |
18 | ** The animatronics in the story are not hostile or dangerous. |
19 | ** The story is set in a place or time where animatronics don't exist. |
20 | * '''Enforced''': |
21 | ** The author wants a ManVersusMachine plot and has a preteen hero. |
22 | ** The author likes to make items that are associated with childhood scary, this including UncannyValley robots. |
23 | ** The author wants a way to make it okay for the heroes to use lethal force. |
24 | ** The author has trauma regarding an [[SuckECheeses uncanny pizza place with disturbing singing animatronics]], so [[AuthorTract he writes what he knows]]. |
25 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
26 | -->'''Bob''': Come on! I take one day off to go to ''Fun Land'' and now the animatronics want to kill me? |

31 | -->'''Bob''': Jesus these old, decayed robots give me the creeps.\ |
32 | '''Alice''':I would honestly be surprised if they '''weren't''' bloodthirsty killers. |
33 | * '''Conversed''': "Animatronics in films are like death machines. Why do the parks even bother with them?" |
34 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
35 | ** When the owners of Falco's Fun Land realize that the animatronics are hurting people, they trash the animatronics and replace them with costumed performers. |
36 | ** The threat the animatronics pose is diminished by their inability to move from one spot. |
37 | * '''Reconstructed''': The animatronics are NotQuiteDead, and they're not happy about being replaced... |
