1	[[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere Today, we describe Doctor Lalve here.]][[note]][[SuddenlyShouting YEEEEEEEEEEE!!!]] [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]][[/note]]
2
3	'''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/LalvePro/videos Doctor Lalve]]''' is a ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' video creator based in Germany. He joined Website/YouTube in 2010, but his channel exploded in popularity around the time he uploaded ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7crRVEsHj98 The Engineer Guide]]'', and his videos (post-''The Engineer Guide'') regularly earn views in the hundreds of thousands. He has become rather influential and popular in the [[VideoGame/GarrysMod GMod]] animation community for being one of the best when it comes to DerangedAnimation and some of his jokes that have become rather memetic (namely the Tiny Desk Engineer).
4	----
5	!!Tropes that appear in this channel include:
6	* AbsurdlyBrightLight: Half-Life 3 in ''Fabulous Life''.
7	* TheAce: Parodied with the Super Pro Class videos, witch Lalve states are simple parodies of pro-player montages.
8	* TheAlcoholic: The Demoman, obviously. [[{{Flanderization}} It's taken so far up]] that he is usually acting drunk and [[TheUnintelligible unable to form coherent sentences]], either speaking gibberish or [[{{Gasshole}} belching]], with only a very few discernible words inbetween.
9	* AllForNothing: Played for BlackComedy where in ''Spooktacular 2'' Engineer sacrifices a Scout in a ritual to get a sentry, only to be told they don't need it.
10	* AnimationBump: PlayedForLaughs in ''Meet the Medic, but it's Demoman'', in which footage from the original ''Meet the Medic'' is paired alongside the typical Gmod animation for a comedically jarring effect.
11	* AwesomeYetImpractical: The Tiny Desk Engineer, and by extension the entire Tiny Desk Team line. The commercials even state outright that these products are "extremely useless and very expensive, but worth the money no matter what you do".
12	* AxCrazy: Engineer, typically.
13	** The Heavy also tends to get this, especially notable in ''Heavy Problems'' and ''Heavy Disaster''.
14	** The Wheezing Soldier is another example of this trope, but his reason is being the embodiment of those forced to wait for what we desire in our video games.
15	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Believe it or not, the Wheezing Soldier is one for impatience. As his name says, he's always wheezing in despair and has probably ''the'' NightmareFace to end all nightmare faces because of his growing desire for what he wants in his games. Notably, having to wait for them, which doesn't do so well for his sanity.
16	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: Engineer The First is apparently the [[PosthumousCharacter Late]] GreaterScopeVillain behind the events of Spooktacular 3, but he did it since he is understandably ''pissed'' at [=McMadic=] for killing him, stealing his company and life's work, and possibly tarnishing Tiny Desk Corps reputation as a whole.]]
17	* AndIMustScream: Absolutely nobody but Engineer on The Engineer Show is having a good time on set. Spycrows mouth is stitched so the audience can barely hear his pleads for help, Medinette is screaming in terror with every movement he makes, Soldiertons only communications are through screeching, The Hooting Sniper momentarily breaks out of his a-pose state only to be removed, and [[spoiler:the kidnapped Heavy has had his face removed, unable to do anything but scream internally]]. The only cast member who downplays it is Demoman in A Box, still fully sentient but clearly uncomfortable with his current situation.
18	* BananaPeel: Played with and [[ExaggeratedTrope very much exaggerated.]] Instead of banana peels, entire bananas occasionally show up, and whenever a character so much as touches them, they are sent violently flying in random directions, and most likely explode at the end.
19	* BarBrawl: [[SubvertedTrope Ultimately subverted]] in ''Heavy Disaster'' between the four (well, three, since one of them [[HoistByHisOwnPetard got crushed by rubble he made]].) Snipers and most of the bar attendees, where it's a CurbStompBattle in the former's favor that happens offscreen.
20	--> '''Super Pro Sniper:''' Skill always beats luck.
21	* BedmateReveal: The end of ''The Demoman Guide''. Demoman is revealed to be sharing a bed with [[spoiler:an Apples Sniper.]] [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl This upsets him.]]
22	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Super Pro Sniper is usually a coward extraordinaire obsessed with "unicorn power" (''Heavy Problems'' and ''Spooktacular'' are some good examples of this). Not so much in ''Heavy Disaster'', where he's one of the main villains and a NotSoHarmlessVillain at that. He first helps the Heavy's scheme with capturing the narrator. Then he manages to sneak upon [[HeroicNeutral the Engineer]] and ''nearly strangle him to death'', managing to toy with him afterwards, before pulling out his Sniper Rifle. If it weren't for a BigDamnHeroes moment, Engie's quest could've ended before it begun. He wasn't done there, as he lead a team of Snipers into the bar and quickly take out all the attendees other than Magic Spy, [[CowardlyLion despite immediately being a man down and pissing himself, as per his gag]].
23	* BigBad: The Heavy in ''Heavy Problems'' and ''Heavy Disaster''.
24	* BigBadWannabe:
25	** Dr. [=McMadic=] in ''Fabulous Spook'' appears to be responsible for the ghosts haunting the mansion the Ghost Hunters goes to. However, when he tries to revive Merasmus in the climax, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain his body just disappears along with the ghosts that were retaining the Ghost Hunters]].
26	** The [[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]] {{Expy}} Sniper in ''Spooktacular'' is set up as the episode's BigBad, being feared by all the characters, but once the Engineer starts taking on him, it quickly becomes clear the Sniper is out of his league.
27	* BigBallOfViolence: Pops up occasionally.
28	* BigElectricSwitch: Dr. Mc Madic flips one in the climax of ''Fabulous Spook.'' [[EpicFail It makes Merasmus' body disappear, alongside all his minions who were holding the heroes at gunpoint. Oops.]]
29	* BigWhat: Occasionally pops up, usually using a voice clip from {{WebVideo/JonTron}}.
30	* BlackComedyRape: A few times, usually courtesy of a Spy. One example is the instance in ''Super Pro Sniper'' where the Sniper gets pinned to a wall, and a Spy grows a knife out of his crotch and proceeds to violate him offscreen.
31	* BleepDammit: FUCK! [[SoundEffectBleep Censor]]
32	* BolivianArmyEnding: Several of the [=TF2=] Guides end with the main character surrounded by enemy forces and facing certain death, notably the Engineer Guide (surrounded by Spies with sappers), the Spy Guide (surrounded by Pyros who set him on fire [[TheyKilledKennyAgain again]]), and the Scout Guide (surrounded by sentries).
33	* BringMyBrownPants: The Super Pro Sniper Dude often deficates a jar of Jarate whenever he's scared.
34	* BulletCatch: The Heavy pulls this off against the Spy in ''Heavy Problems''. He fires it back, [[ExaggeratedTrope but that gets caught as well by the Super Fabulous Combine Squad X.]]
35	* ButtMonkey: [[BoisterousWeakling The Scout]] ''cannot'' catch a break in Doctor Lalve's videos. [[TheyKilledKennyAgain He's routinely killed again and again]], [[TheChewToy is routinely humiliated or violated by the other classes]], [[TheFriendNobodyLikes and is regarded by everyone with virtually no respect or tolerance]]. [[ExaggeratedTrope Even the narrator of the Class Guides, normally civil to the other classes, clearly takes the piss out of mocking and insulting Scout]]. Somewhat justified as the Scout, both in universe and [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 out]], is a BrattyHalfPint SmugSnake JerkAss of the highest caliber even by ''Team Fortress 2'''s standards, [[AssholeVictim which makes it more fun to see him get humiliated in a variety of nasty ways]].
36	** He only barely manages to get away scot-free in ''Spy Transcendence'', though the video does start with Spy kicking his ass.
37	** The [=GMod=] content of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrjImfv2PReA1VhEfNaDOYw Antoine Delak]], who regularly collaborates with Doctor Lalve, is similarly merciless on the poor Scout, most notably in his short role in ''WebAnimation/HeavyIsDead''.
38	** Scout has the worst showing in Lalve's Super Pro series, as his montage mostly consists of him dying horribly even after he performs difficult plays like nailing an opponent with the Sandman and Wrap Assassin.
39	** The RED Soldier in "Champion Fortress" keeps getting hurt even in events he's not participating in.
40	* CallBack: In one scene of ''Spooktacular 3 - Tiny Desk Catastrophe'', the Soldier thinks "I got a good feeling about this!" & Engineer thinks "Kill them all!", much like how they did in ''Fabulous Spook'' (though in Engie's case it was "Kill all your friends!" in the latter instead).
41	* CardCarryingVillain: Heavy in ''Heavy Disaster''. At one point, he even goes so far as to imitate [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Aku!]]
42	--> '''Heavy:''' '''''[[MemeticMutation EXTRA THICK!]]'''''
43	* CatFight: Spy prompts one in ''Fabulous Spook'' by calling up Miss Pauling to fight [[WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}} The Other Mother.]] They even make cat noises!
44	* CharacterCatchphrase: The dancing Engineers have "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" as one, as it's what they yell while [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext dancing and exploding.]]
45	* CloudCuckoolander: Any character in the videos likely has some shades of this, but the Soldier in the ''Wait Your Match'' series stands above them all with shades of AxCrazy.
46	** Doctor Lalve himself could be seen as this, because only a madman would make videos like this.
47	* TheComicallySerious: The Super Pro Sniper, given his whole expert getup as well as his relatively slick visage while [[RealMenWearPink he wears the Lilly version of the Cockfighter.]]
48	* TheCameo: Rubberfruit shows up in "The Heavy Guide" to steal Heavy's Medic at the wedding.
49	* ContinuityCameo: ‘’Fabulous Life 2’’ shows up on Soldier’s PC for a second in ‘’Wait No More’’.
50	* ContinuityNod: Apparently, all of the videos share a continuity. ''[[https://youtu.be/CT3-_TxSgmo Heavy Disaster]]'' unites them all.
51	** Some good examples being that the Spy from ''[[https://youtu.be/HrPjMwqx0ZM She Spy is so magical]]'' helps the BLU Engineer's party, [[https://youtu.be/cI2JpMCpl3I there's only one Stormtrooper with Pyro Ren]], and the doctor from ''Fabulous Spook'' is one of the main villains.
52	** And, of course, the Guides are referenced in videos that have no relation to them.
53	* CountryMatters: Overlaps with FreezeFrameBonus in ''The Scout Guide''.
54	-->''[[spoiler:i hate the scunt so much.]]''
55	* CurbStompBattle: Soldier very nearly does this to the squad in ''Spooktacular 2,'' had it not been for Spy [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext threatening to kill Soldier's bucket,]] [[CompanionCube portrayed as a close friend to him.]]
56	* DanceBattler: Hilariously enough, the Engineers, weaponizing the explosions in their square dances.
57	* DeathAsComedy: But, don't worry. Death is a meme now, too.
58	* DeathNotification: Let's sing the meme song with my awesome robotic voice.
59	* DefeatMeansFriendship: In ''Spooktacular'', Dr. [=McMadic=] apparently joined the Ghost Hunters after they defeated him in ''Fabulous Spook''. Turns out to be a downplayed example; he was doing social labor for what happened after ''Fabulous Spook'' as revealed in ''Spooktacular 3''.
60	* DemonicPossession: In ''Spooktacular 2'' Soldier gets possessed by a cursed object shaped like a ''Half Life 3'' box.
61	* DerangedAnimation: ''[[ExaggeratedTrope Even by Gmod standards.]]''
62	* DisproportionateRetribution: Heavy kills an Engineer with a literal bullet punch after being called ugly.
63	** He also calls in [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill backup Heavies in tanks, bomber planes, and even]] ''an ICBM'' on Scout...'''just because he tapped Heavy on the shoulder with his bat.'''
64	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ezoO41rHK4 Dumbledore asked VERY calmly]] is an entire dose of this; with Dumbledore, absolutely enraged at Harry (potrayed by a [[ButtMonkey Scout]]) for putting his name in The Goblet of Fire to the point he tries ''killing him'' with damn near everything he can use; guns, knives, [[TakeThat Youtube Kids content]], a tank, and even assistance from [[WebVideo/OneyPlays Motifa.]]
65	* DistractedByTheSexy: [[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] by Francis to knock out a stormtrooper in ''Star Space Wars''
66	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Doctor Lalve Love Bucket.
67	** Other examples include the G-Man's unsettling appearances implying that he is a rapist, and the Engineers strange behavior of making HumanSacrifice's for [[MundaneUtility sentries or anything else]] makes them look like occultists. Doesn't help that their corporation has a church installed.
68	* DrivenToSuicide: Heavy, after finding out that ''Half-Life 3'' has DLC episodes.
69	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Demoman in ''Meet the Sniper, but it's Demoman''. First, he does a complete 180, crashing Sniper's van, then he somehow gets the van into space, and then he drives backwards, indoors.
70	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: In ''Spooktacular 2,'' in order to exorcise [[DemonicPossession the thing that is possessing Soldier,]] Engineer decides to build a sentry to help somehow. After going through the trouble of [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing the Scout]] in order to [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext spawn a giant demon Engi]] which gives him the sentry AND being told by Spy that they don't need it, only to actually get the chance to use it after Demoman's exorcision attempts failed...[[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny he just slams it down on Soldier.]]
71	* DwindlingParty: ''Quite Among Us'', which spoofs ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', has the mercenaries getting killed one after another until there are only two people left: [[spoiler: the Soldier and the Engineer, while it's all made to look like the latter is the impostor, the Engineer actually promptly dies, making the Soldier believe he won, but also gets killed [[NothingIsScarier by someone or something unseen]].]]
72	* EarthShatteringKaboom: In ''Happy New Yeee!'' by, who else, the Engineers.
73	* EpicFail:
74	** In ''Heavy Problems'', the whole cast of [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2]] empties their entire magazines towards the Heavy, [[AmusinglyAwfulAim only to have a single bullet hitting the ground nearby him]], before Rochelle incapacitates all of them with a rocket launcher (except Ellis, who went to free the Narrator), leaving the Spy completely dumbfounded.
75	** In ''Fabulous Spook'', Dr. [=McMadic=] tries to revive Merasmus, by flipping a BigElectricSwitch, but instead it just makes Merasmus's body disappear along with the minions that were holding the Ghost Hunters back.
76	** In ''Spooktacular'', Bill in the ShowWithinAShow ''Cooking With Bill'', after a SmashCut, managed to set the entire kitchen on fire. Even he's not even sure how things got to this point.
77	*** In ''Spooktacular 2'', ''Cooking With Bill'' returns. The kitchen is still on fire, and Bill is either dead or asleep on the counter.
78	** Also in ''Spooktacular'', the Engineer of the Ghost Hunter manages to blow up their luxurious car by just trying to unlock it with its remote key.
79	* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: The closed captions in ''Meet The Pyro'', where trying to translate Pyro's hallucinations[[note]]Something English combined with Japanese[[/note]]
80	* EveryCarIsAPinto: Exaggerated in ''Spooktacular'', where the Ghost Hunters' luxurious car manages to [[EpicFail explode by merely unlocking it with its key]].
81	* EvilCounterpart: Super Fabulous Combine Squad X has one in Super Swiggity Combine Squad Z.
82	* ExcusePlot: ''Fabulous Life'' and its follow up feature a zany telling of ''Half-Life 3'''s story, with Heavy's gameplay as a framing device.
83	* FaceDeathWithDignity: In ''Happy New Yee 2018,'' once the Heavy realizes he is surrounded by hundreds of Engineers, all he can do is internally think to himself, '''[[FlatYes "yes"]]''' as he [[BlankStare stares on.]]
84	* FailedASpotCheck: The Ghost Hunters in ''Spooktacular'' somehow forgot their weapons back at their headquarters, and it's only after they arrived at their point of rendezvous that the Soldier realizes it.
85	* FairyTaleEpisode: ''Little Red Texan Hood''.
86	* FedToTheBeast: In ''Tiny Desk Corporation'', it is explained that every so often a single Engineer is sacrificed to please a creature called the Oglagladagon. We just barely catch a glimpse of it as it swiftly yanks a poor Engineer away to his doom.
87	* FlatWhat: Heavy's reaction when his [[BulletCatch bullet gets caught]].
88	* FreezeFrameBonus: The words "Such greenscreen" can be briefly seen during one scene of ''Champion Fortress''.
89	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Scout regularly gets crap from the other members of the Team, ''The Scout Guide'' features the one time the Narrator uses outright aggressive language towards its subject in the "Guide" series (and features far more injuries toward the Scout as part of its gags), and the same Guide is also the second-shortest of the bunch (only just barely surpassing the Soldier's).
90	* FunWithSubtitles: A common occurrence with sound effects.
91	** [=The sound of pleasure=] [[note]]A RED Soldier blankly staring at a TV displaying the SMPTE color bars pattern while a 1kHz sine wave tone plays[[/note]]
92	** [=The sound of Ded Vodka=] [[note]]6 BLU Heavies exploding while saying "Dead" after being shot by a RED Soldier's shotgun.[[/note]]
93	** [=Something Russian=] [[note]]What was actually said: Heavy: WHO TOUCHED MY SANDVICH?![[/note]]
94	** [=Something Scottish=] [[note]]What was actually said: Demoman: drunken gibberish[[/note]]
95	** [=Something French=] [[note]]What was actually said: Spy: I feel très bon![[/note]]
96	** [=Baguette=] [[note]]What was actually said: Spy: I'm back![[/note]]
97	* FunWithAcronyms: We're finally given the paranormal investigators names in their commercial, the '''A'''nti '''S'''pook '''S'''quad.
98	* GroinAttack: Done to Heavy by [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Bill]] in ''Spooktacular''.
99	* HatOfPower: Magic Spy's hat, which grants him magic powers and [[spoiler:enables teleportation]].
100	* HumanityIsInsane: How [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/HalfLife Half-Life 3]] was started]] and why aliens never visit.
101	** [=BREEN=] [=FACE=]
102	* HumanSacrifice: Engineers sacrifices Scouts to their dark gods to get sentry guns.
103	* ImmediateSelfContradiction: The Soldier near the end of ''Fabulous Spook'':
104	--> '''Soldier:''' Men, these are the facts as I understand them. One: I am not afraid of no ghost. Two: I am scared, you maggots!
105	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] with the entire [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2]] cast in ‘’Heavy Problems’’, first with Bill, Zoey, Nick and Coach, who go absolutely insane with their bullets yet only get a single bullet on the ground, and then Rochelle who ends up incapacitating all of them except Ellis with a rocket launcher.
106	* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: When a possessed Soldier is thrashing the team near the end of ''Spooktacular 2'', Spy manages to get through to him by reminding him of his favourite bucket, which allows Soldier to shake off the cursed object’s hold over him.
107	* InstantSoprano: After Heavy mocks Bill in ''Spooktacular'', he ends up being caned in the balls by the old man, and squeaks out a very high pitched “Pootis” before clutching his groin and doubling over.
108	* IntelligibleUnintelligible: The Demoman often speaks in drunken moans and gibberish, but the other characters have no problems whatsoever understanding what he says.
109	* IncompetenceInc: If not a toned down case of EvilInc, Tiny Desk Corp. is most likely this. The staff consists of mostly braindead Engineers handling dangerous products, the employee's [[HumanResources are used as templates for a lot of the corporations products]] and they didn't even mind when someone killed their former boss just to steal the position. They also have some...[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything unsettling undertones.]]
110	* KickTheDog: Heavy was about to receive the Heavy Guide in ''Spookception: The Prequel'', only for it to actually be the Scout Guide, with the narrator saying no one liked the Heavy while the Scout laughs devilishly.
111	* KillItWithFire: The Anti-Spook Squad defeats the monster in ''Spooktacular 3 - Tiny Desk Catastrophe'' by gathering Tiny Desk Corps Pyros, leading the mosnter into a trap and unleashing the Pyros on it.
112	* {{Leitmotif}}: Super Fabulous Combine Squad X has the [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Team Flare battle theme]].
113	** The Super Swiggity Combine Squad Z has [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Guzma's theme]].
114	* LimitedAnimation: Being a Gmod animation it embodies and embraces this trope, being a result of what Gmod animators have to work with and around, it also forms part of the charm of Gmod animations.
115	* MadeOfExplodium: Usually when the sped-up Square Dance music starts and very fast dancing Engineers show up, things start to explode.
116	** Actually, just about anything can blow up for no apparent reason other than RuleOfFunny and pure randomness.
117	** Taken naturally up to eleven in the ''[[DemolitionsExpert Demoman]] Guide.''
118	* MadScientist: Doctor [=McMadic=], who first appears in ''Fabulous Spook''.
119	* MagicHat: The Spy's hat from ''The Spy is so magical''.
120	* {{Metaphorgotten}}: In ''The Heavy Guide'' when it demonstrates Heavy's [[MythologyGag canonical]] PHD in Russian Literature:
121	-->'''Heavy, at a podium in front of [[PlanetOfSteves hundreds of other Heavies]] and one Scout [[PaperThinDisguise disguised as a heavy]]''': If hand is rotten, you cut off ''[[ButtMonkey SCOUT!!!]]'' But if heart is-'''''[[SuddenlyShouting YOU SHOOT SCOUT!!!]]'''''
122	* MiniMe: The Tiny Desk Engineers, which were created by Tiny Desk Corporation's founder Engineer the First.
123	* MonsterClown: The Pennywise {{Expy}} Sniper who kidnaps Scout and acts as the BigBad of ''Spooktacular''.
124	* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler:Soldier's death]] in ''Quite Among Us'' is accompanied by a slowly rotating camera shot and the ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' death sound, only to suddenly switch to the elimination splash effect from ''VideoGame/FallGuysUltimateKnockout''.
125	* MooseAndMapleSyrup: As of ''Spooktacular 2'', the Ghost Hunters are apparently residing in Canada.
126	* NoIndoorVoice: Most of the cast, especially the Soldier.
127	* NothingIsScarier: The [[EldritchAbomination monster]] in ''Spooktacular 3 - Tiny Desk Catastrophe'' is never on screen in full and for long.
128	* OneWordVocabulary: "Apples," for one of the Snipers in ''Heavy Disaster''.
129	** Often any BLU Snipers that appear only say "Apples".
130	* ParanormalEpisode: ''Fabulous Spook'', ''Spooktacular'', and ''Spookception: The Prequel''.
131	* PetTheDog: Despite their [[TheFriendNobodyLikes relationship with the Scout]], they go through a fair bit of hell to rescue him when he’s abducted by the BigBad of ''Spooktacular''
132	* PeaceAndLoveIncorporated: Tiny Desk Corporation. Despite their popularity, the corp is filled with very expendable employees, dangerous products and the fact their business seems to be located in Hell itself accessed via volcano elevator. The company salespitcher[[note]]the man with the TV head[[/note]] seems to defy it a bit, since he isn't afraid to openly and happily express several problems and...[[{{Understatement}} other things]] the company is victim to often. Overlaps with IncompetenceInc.
133	* PsychoRangers: The Super Swiggity Combine Squad Z is this to the Super Fabulous Combine Squad X.
134	* RandomEventsPlot: The plots usually tend to start with a basic premise, then go from there.
135	* RealDreamsAreWeirder: His ''Dream Diary'' series [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aims to reconstruct the dreams he has]]. The first (and only) instalment is... [[MindScrew pretty out there]].
136	* RebootSnark: The ending of ''The Super Movie Guide'' tells the viewer not to worry if you don't have any ideas anymore, since "you can make a live-action animation remake of your movie, and everyone will still watch it, no matter what".
137	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Heavy starts his because [[DisproportionateRetribution a Heavy Guide hasn't been made yet]].
138	* Rule34: This exists InUniverse for the Sandvich.
139	* RunningGag: The Engineer square-dancing and screaming while [[StuffBlowingUp causing explosions]], often with a horde of fellow Engineers.
140	** In ''Champion Fortress'', Soldier getting injured or killed numerous ways, most often by being shot.
141	** ''The Spy Guide'' features the eponymous Spy repeatedly being set on fire by enemy Pyros.
142	** Recent videos have Spy [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext turning into]] [[FrenchJerk baguettes]] anytime he explodes or gets hurt.
143	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Heavy in ''Heavy Disaster'' when Doctor Mc. Madic walks in on him making two sandviches kiss.
144	* SubvertedKidsShow: The Engineer Show, owing up to [[AxCrazy who it's based off of]]. For starters, several of the actors, notably Spycrow, Medicnette and Hooting Sniper [[AndIMustScream are all forced to partake in the show, endlessly screaming inside]], and one of the episodes showcasing a typical Engineer ritual involving a Scout [[ForcedTransformation being horrifically turned into a sentry]]. Even worse, people who try changing the channel when it's on like the unfortunate Heavy [[spoiler:are kidnapped and turned into new cast members]].
145	* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler: In ''Fabulous Spook'', after all their efforts to capture the haunted mansion's ghosts, the Ghost Hunters ends up releasing all the ghosts they captured back into the mansion because its owner refused to pay the [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill $400,000 bill]].]]
146	* ShoutOut: Outside of the general references to gaming and pop culture as part of one-off jokes, there are some recurring jokes or entire videos that are shout-outs:
147	** ''[[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Inside Fortress]]''.
148	** Pyroren often quotes [[Film/TheForceAwakens Kylo Ren]].
149	** Several shout outs go to ''[[VideoGame/HalfLife Half-Life 3]]''.
150	** Joe Barbaro from ''VideoGame/MafiaII'' sometimes stars in the videos, saying some variation of his notable quote "Holy shit, what a fucking disappointment!", which was notably used in WebAnimation/Kitty0706[='s=] videos.
151	** Another [=Kitty0706=] reference in ''Happy New Yeee! 2021'':
152	--> Heavy: Yes (subtitles say [[WebAnimation/TeamFabulous2 "sandwich"]])
153	** [[RuleOfThree Yet another Kitty0706 reference]] appears in the long awaited ''The Heavy Guide''. In ''WebAnimation/TeamFabulous2'', there is a scene where a Heavy flies by (on his minigun) before coming back to where an enemy soldier and, [[{{Hypocrite}} saying "We fight like men"]], [[MoreDakka mows the guy down]]. One scene about a minute through ''The Heavy Guide'' has something very similar happen, only with the heavy saying [[BringIt "Fight Me!"]] before mowing down a soldier AND a Pyro.
154	** From the Anti Spook Squad's commercial onward, Spy dresses like [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]].
155	** In ''Spooktacular 3 - Tiny Desk Catastrophe'', Heavy hears "The Lincolnshire Poacher" in his head at one point, which is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4GnJAO_0p0 this video.]]
156	* StuffBlowingUp: Anything really, but especially when Engineers are involved.
157	* StylisticSuck: ''Another Team Fortress 2 Video.''[[note]]Heavy and Stoopid Spy[[/note]]
158	* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler: The ending to Wizard School suddenly ends with the implications that the Spy killed his students.]]
159	* SuperSentaiStance: Both the Super Fabulous Combine Squad X and the Super Swiggity Combine Squad Z have these.
160	* SurrealHumor: Try to find something, anything, that makes coherent, long term sense in his videos. You will fail miserably.
161	* ThisBananaIsArmed: Quite literally: in ''Fabulous Life'' Alyx pulls out a banana & shoots a group of zombies with it, blowing them up, since Gordon's weapons are all out of ammo.
162	* TemptingFate: In ''Heavy Problems'', after the Heavy stops Gordon Freeman, he tells him he needs more men. This is followed by an Engineer showing up and summoning dozens of other Engineers, who proceeds to do their [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext dance that destroy the building]], defeating the Heavy.
163	* VerbalTic:
164	** Most vocalizations from Demoman, if it isn't drunken rambling, consists of belching, even in his thoughts.
165	** The Spy has his snorting.
166	** Engineers have ''YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE''
167	* VillainousValor: [=McMadic=] gets his time to shine in Spooktacular 3, blasting through the Tiny Desk Engineer-controlled exterminators when he knows his corporation is in danger. [[spoiler:He also casually disposes the ManInTheMachine that is now Engineer The First and gets past his Securiguards.]]
168	* VocalDissonance: The Super Pro Sniper during the bout with Spy in ''Heavy Disaster'' speaks with a very high-pitched voice. The Apples Sniper, meanwhile, has a baritone.
169	* WhoYouGonnaCall: The "Fabulous Spook" series introduces the [[FunWithAcronyms Anti Spook Squad]], a quadrant of [=RED=] mercs who take care of monster problems of any variety, be it ghosts, [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian monstrosities]] or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Scouts]].
170	* WimpFight: Two Spies in ''Champion Fortress'' are preparing to fist-fight... and end up simply karate-chopping/blocking each other's hands repeatedly. But then it immediately turns into a [[VideoGame/MortalKombat2011 MK-esque]] fight where the two spies end up doing X-Ray moves on each other.
171	* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: ''A Touching Story'', is basically a completely deranged version of this tale.
