3 | ''The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction'' (often referred to by its acronym ''[=AAoOD=]'') is, to put it simply, an animated Music/OneDirection fanfic, created by Mark Parsons, its purpose being to fill the gap of fanfics written by men. In it, One Direction is a band of superheroes out to save the world's pussycats from the evil [[PunnyName Lord Faptaguise.]] |

5 | The original episode was uploaded on 13 March 2012, around the time One Direction really took off in the United States, and can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o3fcUH-yPQ&list=PLS3SNSpAMRqOhI7BYaJVS2JlnNMKedZ-J&index=2&t=0s here]]. It went viral, was watched by the boys themselves, and sparked two sequels, aptly named [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vod7Emk4Lc&list=PLS3SNSpAMRqOhI7BYaJVS2JlnNMKedZ-J&index=3 The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction 2]], uploaded on 13 March 2013, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nawamtehweI&list=PLS3SNSpAMRqOtUpCyMIgtAf4yfAQyyRhF&index=4&t=0s The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction 3]], uploaded in 12 episodes over the course of December 2015. |

9 | !!''The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction'' contains examples of: |
10 | |
11 | * BigNo: {{Exaggerated|Trope}} with Harry, who gives one that apparently lasts for several minutes when he realizes Lord Faptaguise has kidnapped his cat. |
12 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Little facts (that pertained in 2012) about One Direction appear on screen that relate to the story, and characters are aware of these and interact with and {{Lampshade}} them. |
13 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: In their superhero costumes, the members of 1D have the letters of their first names on their chests. Gets a bit confusing with Louis and Liam, who both have Ls on their chests. |
14 | * BuffySpeak: Lampshaded by Harry: |
15 | -->'''Harry:''' [Tac-O's] even make the milk taste like tacos!\ |
16 | '''Liam:''' That's even disgusting-er.\ |
17 | '''Harry:''' That's not even a word! |
18 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Liam often says "it's on like donkey kong", although he later [[AbandonedCatchphrase switches it out]] in ''[=AAoOD 3=]'' for "bomb.com" (and variations like "a-okay.co.uk"), much to Harry's disappointment. |
19 | * ChekhovsGag: |
20 | ** Louis hitting Harry in the balls whenever he makes an IncrediblyLamePun [[spoiler: allows Harry to hit the high note needed to activate the Pussy Magnet.]] |
21 | ** Niall keeps making fun of Zayn's hair, comparing it to things like a ski slope. [[spoiler: When they need a ramp to skateboard out of the garbage pit, guess what they use?]] |
22 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After helping Niall out of the garbage pit, Zayn isn't seen again, even in the ending. Come the sequel, and it turns out he just stayed there for nine months. |
23 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Each of the band members has a monochromatic outfit in their superhero forms. Harry is orange, Louis is red, Niall is blue, Liam is purple, and Zayn is yellow. |
24 | * FemmeFatale: April/May, who seduces Harry to capture him and bring him to Lord Faptaguise. |
25 | * GroinAttack: Louis gives these to Harry as punishment for his bad puns. |
26 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Harry keeps making these. The other members, especially Louis, never find them funny. |
27 | * ItsPersonal: Said word for word by Harry, when he finds out his cat was stolen by Lord Faptaguise. |
28 | * MissionControl: Psymon. |
29 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Music/PaulMcCartney is portrayed as a monk. |
30 | * PowerUpFood: For Harry, tacos, complete with a ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}-esque transformation. |
31 | * PunnyName: |
32 | ** Lord ''Faptaguise.'' Liam only realizes the pun when Lord Faptaguise insists on patting Harry down. |
33 | ** 1D's MissionControl is named Psymon, which sounds identical to Simon, as in Creator/SimonCowell, the owner of their record label. |
34 | * ShortTeensTallAdults: Sorta... the 1D boys are all drawn noticeably shorter than the other adult characters in the story, but their ages are ambiguous. If they correlate with their real-life ages, that would make them 18–20 in the first installment and 21–23 by the third. |
35 | * ShoutOut: |
36 | ** Psymon, as a floating head in a tube that acts as MissionControl, is a reference to [[Franchise/PowerRangers Zordon.]] |
37 | * {{Squick}}: InUniverse, Tac-O's, a meat, cheese, and lettuce flavored cereal served in a tortilla bowl that also makes the milk taste like tacos. Only Harry likes them, while the other members of One Direction find them disgusting. |
38 | * TemporalThemeNaming: Played for laughs with Lord Faptaguise's FemmeFatale, May, who used the fake name April. |
39 | -->'''Lord Faptaguise:''' Well done, May.\ |
40 | '''Harry:''' May? I thought your name was June.\ |
41 | '''April/May:''' April.\ |
42 | '''Harry:''' Whatever. |
43 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tacos, for Harry. They're also his PowerUpFood. |
44 | * WimpFight: Niall making fun of Zayn's hair [[BerserkButton causes these]] to occur between them. |
45 | |
46 | ---- |
47 | !!''The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction 2'' contains examples of: |
48 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Megafan presents a bowling ball, with the intent of throwing it into the trash compactor to demonstrate what would happen to their dates if they do not agree to be his slaves. |
49 | --->'''Megafan:''' Here we have just an everyday bowling ball. |
50 | --->'''Louis:''' Who goes bowling every day? |
51 | --->'''Megafan:''' Some people do. |
52 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Megafan's voice is very deep. |
53 | * DestroyTheVillainsWeapon: Liam throws a spoon at Megafan's blades, destroying them. |
54 | * LikesOlderWomen: Harry, who's dating the elderly Sarah. |
55 | * LoveInterest: Natalie and Sarah for Niall and Harry, respectively. |
56 | * ShoutOut: Liam's spoon nightmare is a parody of both "[[WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}} Pink Elephants on Parade]]" and "[[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Heffalumps and Woozles]]". At one point, a devil appears that bears a striking resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]]. |
57 | * StealthPun: Megafan is a literal fan, and also intends to make 1D his personal slaves. |
58 | |

60 | !!''The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction 3'' contains examples of: |
61 | * BigEater: Of the items he bought from the 1D store to give as gifts, Niall wants the lunch boxes until Zayn informs him they're empty; he can't be trusted to not eat the cookies for Santa; and he accepts without qualms Harry's offer to [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty to be eaten first]] when the boys get stranded, which Louis immediately shuts down. |
62 | * ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:Harry secretly buys the suspenders Louis admires in the shop for his birthday, which ends up saving his life.]] |
63 | * ChristmasEpisode: The series details One Direction saving Christmas. |
64 | * ConveyorBeltOfDoom: [[spoiler:The elf pretends to Santa that a weakened Louis is actually a defective doll and throws him onto a conveyor belt to be incinerated.]] |
65 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The train conductor has a habit of repeating things back to people with increasing shock, while they wish he would just get to the point. |
66 | * HeroicBSOD: Fed up, Louis goes into one at the end of part 5, but is talked out of it by Henry in part 6, who [[CommonalityConnection also]] gets sad around Christmas. |
67 | * HerrDoktor: The villain is an elf scientist with a German accent. |
68 | * JustInTime: [[spoiler:Harry leaps off of Liam's Twit-CAM down the chimney just in time to save Louis from falling off the ConveyorBeltOfDoom into the furnace, not even expecting to find him there.]] |
69 | * MetafictionalDevice: Niall has an IdeaBulb, which he then literally uses to burn the leeches off himself and Zayn. |
70 | * OurCentaursAreDifferent: The boys meet a faun named Henry on their way to the North Pole, although he is half-goat from his waist up rather than the other way around. |
71 | * PassingJudgment: The kids on the Polar Express say "stay away from us" and "y'all are crazy" when the boys want to know they're okay after surviving the train derailment. |
72 | * PerenniallyOvershadowedBirthday: Louis' birthday is on Christmas Eve (as in real life), and he fears throughout the story that Harry has [[ForgottenBirthday forgotten his birthday]]. |
73 | * PuppetShows: [[spoiler:The penultimate episode is live-action with paper dolls.]] |
74 | * RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:Lady Gaga informs Harry that the train conductor is actually a robot, which is why he seemed kinda off]]. |
75 | * StockBritishPhrases: While shopping with Harry, Louis says "Cor, look at those braces! They're smashing!", which Mark [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage subtitles]] as "Dude, look at those suspenders! They're baller!" He also says things like "jolly good" and "blimey". |
76 | * VampiricDraining: The effect of the villain's leeches draining a superhero of their star power is they grow weak and [[PaperPeople paper thin]]. |
77 | * WishFulfillment: Despite Zayn having left the band earlier in 2015, the story still includes him. |
