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.

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.

59	----
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.
