4	''Incredible Crew'' is a [[LiveActionTV live-action]] SketchComedy series created by Creator/NickCannon that aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork for [[ShortRunner one 13-episode season]] from January 24 to April 11, 2013, previewed beforehand on New Year's Eve 2012 in a special titled "Incredible Crew Year's Eve". Two soundtracks compiling the show's songs were also released.
5
6	The show stars six young comedians -- Creator/JeremyShada, Creator/BrandonSooHoo, Shauna Case, Creator/ShameikMoore, Tristan Pasterick, and Chanelle Peloso -- and consists of skits, {{Candid Camera Prank}}s, and music videos that fall squarely under a {{surreal\|Humor}} and NonSequitur-laden brand of humor.

8	The show seemed to disappear after its season finale, and there was no news about it for months on end until it was eventually announced on July 29, 2013 that it had been cancelled, making this the last live-action show Cartoon Network had made for its channel before 2021, when the sitcom ''Family Mash-Up'' was picked up for Creator/HBOMax.
9	----
10	!!''Incredible Crew'' has the following tropes:
11	* AdultsAreUseless: PlayedForLaughs in the "Cola Thief" sketch, where a teacher keeps her class after school because someone stole and drank nearly sixty sodas from her cabinet and won't let anyone leave until the thief confesses. One of the students points out that a boy named Wyatt, who's very plainly going out of his mind from a sugar rush, probably did it. The teacher just says they can't accuse someone without proof.
12	* AndIMustScream: PlayedForLaughs in the "Prize Surprise" skit where the contestants are so overstimulated with surprise that they're frozen and turned into statues.
13	* AwesomeButImpractical: Just like [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/MAD Mad]], nearly every false product they advertise. Examples include Hot Dog Cereal, Nacho Tortillahose, Face Jeans, and so on.
14	* BigLittleSister: Shauna plays Jeremy's in the "Magical Video Game Controller" sketch.
15	* BodyHorror: PlayedForLaughs in the "Perso" skit, where the characters of an 80s-esque kids show transform into letters to make up "SMILE".
16	** [[AndIMustScream But even after they turn into letters, they can still talk.]]
17	* CandidCameraPrank: A few sketches see the cast interact with the public.
18	* ComicallyMissingThePoint / AdultsAreUseless: In the "Cola Thief" sketch, a teacher keeps her class after school because someone stole and drank 58 sodas from her cabinet, and she won't let anyone leave until the thief confesses. One of the students points out that a boy named Wyatt probably did it, but the teacher says they don't accuse anyone without proof. As if Wyatt hopped up on sugar and running around the classroom like the Tasmanian Devil isn't proof enough. [[spoiler: Wyatt confesses after a couple minutes, but now the teacher says that somebody else stole over 300 pieces of bubblegum and wants to know whodunit, failing to see a student clearly chewing a huge wad of gum.]]
19	* CoveredInGunge: There are few sketches where one of the cast get some kind of liquid sprayed or dumped on them.
20	* DeadPetSketch: In one short skit, Tristan plays a boy whose goldfish has passed away ([[ReplacementGoldfish refrain from confusion]]), and his mother instinctively gets a new one. However, he is able to find out when the goldfish keeps saying, "[[TalkingAnimal Hey]]."
21	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
22	** "Exploring Explorers of Exploration".
23	** "Super duper gross things are super duper gross".
24	* DisasterMovie: Parodied remorselessly with the "Torcano" skit. The title disaster is a tornado pulling molten lava from an active volcano into itself, but by the end of the skit it is basically composed ''every'' natural disaster at once with the OverlyLongName of "[[GaiasVengeance Torcanoquake Blizvalanche Fireicanebees]]".
25	* EatTheEvidence: The point of "Cheat Sheet Tacos".
26	* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: In one skit, Shada's character ventures into a ball pit and discovers rainbows that talk.
27	* FMinusMinus: The teacher gives this at the end of "The Worst Thing That Could Happen During A Book Report".
28	* FoundFootageFilms: Parodied in the "Santa Claus Hunters" sketch. The premise of the sketch stars a group of kids who want to [[Film/ParanormalActivity capture Santa on tape]], and one part of the sketch has [[Film/TheBlairWitchProject Chanelle freaking out and crying under a table]].
29	* GainaxEnding: A lot of sketches end like this.
30	* GratuitousNinja: Michael Shin, 5th grade ninja.
31	* GrossoutShow: On occasion.
32	** The bake sale skit [[AccidentalPun takes the cake]].
33	* HairTriggerTemper: Kylie, the Embarrassed Girl. She seems nice at first glance, [[BewareTheNiceOnes but]] [[BerserkButton once you do something to embarrass her]]...
34	* InsaneTrollLogic: You don't know the half of it.
35	* JustSoStory: At the end of the "Prize Surprise" sketch, after the contestants have turned into statues from excitement, Shameik states that all statues are made in this way.
36	* KidDetective: The Worst Brothers Junior Detectives. Parodied in that they tear apart everything in sight.
37	* LadiesAndGerms: "Ladies, gentlemen, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick werewolves]]."
38	* LargeHam: Shameik and almost every character he's played.
39	** Also, Olaf the Super Sensitive Viking.
40	** '''SOLAR SYSTEM WOLF CAN HOWL MUSIC!'''
41	* LaughTrack: Averted, and the jokes work better thanks to the added awkwardness.
42	* LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics: In one sketch, Jeremy says that 100% of people in the world don't want to receive a snakebite.
43	* MindScrew: The Complecatrix board game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znDqu69-n9E Need we say more?]]
44	* NoFourthWall: In the "Smile" skit, Jeremy (while on an 80s-esque kids show) actually says, "Yeah, roll the opening title!"
45	* NoIndoorVoice: A LOT of screaming on this show.
46	* NonSequitur: Where most of the show's humor comes from.
47	* ObfuscatingStupidity: You'd be surprised to see how many characters harness it.
48	* OverlyLongName: The "Torcanoquake Blizvalanche Fireicanebees". And yet characters ''always'' insist on saying the full name.
49	--> '''Panicked Civilian''': [[LampshadeHanging Saying the full name slows down my escape from it!]]
50	* ParentalObliviousness: The restaurant artist kid's parents [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerate]] this trope to painful extents. Their son creates paintings, makes a colorful 3D clay stickman, makes it into the newspaper, and creates a giant metal stickman, while his parents don't notice a thing.
51	* PlanetOfSteves: To be more specific, a ''school'' of ''Dougs''.
52	* RockersSmashGuitars: Santa does this at the end of ''What Santa's Doing Right Now''.
53	* RuleOfCool: In one sketch, a teacher gives a lesson about ''interdimensional portals!''
54	* RunningGag: A stuffed unicorn that makes one of the most annoying sounds you've ever heard.
55	* SeverelySpecializedStore: The Shorts and Spoons Warehouse. Bonus points for all customers ''having'' to buy one of each.
56	** [[InsistentTerminology But they DON'T sell pants or forks!]]
57	* ShoutOut:
58	** The Foam Bat Guy from "Think Fast Go Hurry Up Okay?" notably resembles Boxman from WebVideo/{{Smosh}}.
59	** In the "Smile" sketch, Jeremy is seen playing the red SG controller from ''VideoGame/{{Guitar Hero}}''.
60	** One sketch features a show called "[[{{Series/Wipeout2008}} WipeOuch!]]".
61	** Jeremy Shada plays a character named [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jake Blue Jay]].
62	** Shauna and her friends [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia go through a walk-in closet into another world]].
63	** In one sketch, Jeremy does a SlasherSmile very similar to [[WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} Jack Douglass]]'.
64	** The magical video game controller is a black-and-gold {{Platform/NES}} controller.
65	** A giant disembodied head tries to use [[Franchise/GreenLantern rings]] to turn teens into a superhero team.
66	** In "Santa Claus Hunters", there's a scene featuring [[Film/TheBlairWitchProject Chanelle breaking down in tears hiding from Santa]].
67	* SketchComedy
68	* SpaceWhaleAesop: Don't bring a mop to school to cut classes or otherwise everyone will mistake it for you.
69	** BrokenAesop: However, it's made so that the "real" moral is to not cut class.
70	* StealthPun: During a dream, Chanelle runs into a giant toe named Robert. Robert Toe.
71	* SuperStrength: In one sketch, Shauna is able to destroy a table with one fist and also becomes a great fighter.
72	* SurrealHumor: A good majority of the show is just randomness.
73	* SurroundedByIdiots: Robby during the "Mop Robby" sketch. See SpaceWhaleAesop above for [[ItMakesSenseInContext context]].
74	* TemptingFate: The Bad Luck Rap, where a group of kids rap that they don't believe in bad luck and do various things that are stated to cause it (breaking mirrors, spilling salt, walking under ladders, etc). Of course once they do the deeds, bad luck instantly happens to them. One of the kids [[OnlySaneMan gets savvy]] when it only comes down to two of them and backs out instantly.
75	* TrainingMontage: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in the "Last Pillow Fighter" sketch; the montage is only Shauna doing three push-ups.
76	* UnnecessarilyCreepyRobot: MIRI has this moment at the end of its sketch.
77	* WeirdnessCensor: In "Farting Grandpa", there's several of them. In one, a BigBad makes nothing of seeing [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant flying muffins]]. Also, a girl is too busy dancing to notice that she's being robbed.
78	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In the sketch, which parodies the Franchise/IndianaJones film series, Jeremy Shada said this line but replaced the snakes with grandmas.
79	--> '''[[Franchise/IndianaJones Minnesota Rhodes]]''': "Grandmas. Why did it have to be grandmas?"
80	----
