3 | In the 2020's, the meme would see a resurgence in popularity used in [[AffectionateParody semi-ironic posts]] used to parody the broken humor of Gen Z. Often citing it as [[TropeCodifier “the first example of]] [[SurrealHumor Gen Z]] [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny humor”.]] This would make the vine even MORE widespread and it is now regarded as one [[CultClassic of the most iconic memes of all time.]] |

9 | * AmbiguousEnding: What happens after Caleb falls down the stairs? Does he realize his leg is broken? Does he go to the doctor? [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Will he ever be able to walk again?]] [[TheUnreveal Does he get to]] [[ThrowTheDogABone eat his pizza?]] |
10 | ** Also: How does his friend react? Does he react in horror and [[TrueCompanions call an ambulance for his friend?]] Or [[ExploitedTrope does he use this opportunity]] to [[JerkAss take all the pizza]] [[KickTheDog for]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese himself?]] The video ends on Caleb on the floor in pain leaving the viewer to decide what happens next. |
11 | * BaitAndSwitch: The video seems to be a normal video of some guy calling his his friend to get some Pizza, but then [[AgonyOfTheFeet his friend awkwardly lands on his foot]] (Complete with a {{Sickening Crunch}}) causing him to fall head first [[StaircaseTumble down the stairs]] [[AmusingInjuries in a comically exaggerated manner.]] The last shot is him complaining that [[SkewedPriorities that his ears burn]] [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction despite his leg being]]'' ''[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction literally]]'' ''[[BodyHorror snapped in half.]]'' |
12 | * BlackComedyBurst: [[DownplayedTrope Not that Caleb's works are really “lighthearted”]] but this sketch has some innocent guy happy to get some pizza [[ComedicSociopathy only to have him badly injure himself]] [[YankTheDogsChain while running downstairs to get some pizza]] |
13 | * BreathlessNonSequitur: Caleb after he falls down the stairs: |
14 | ** '''Caleb:''' Ah, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint My]] [[EarAche ears]] [[MinorInjuryOverreaction burn!]] |
15 | * TheChainOfHarm: [[PlayedForLaughs A comedic example.]] After tripping down the stairs Caleb [[RuleOfFunny (and somehow landing on his head)]] we see a shot of an [[StylisticSuck obviously fake dummy]] falling into the stairs and a [[ReactionShot shot of Caleb screaming]] before it [[SmashCut abruptly cuts to him on the floor]] [[BlackComedy with a broken leg crying]] [[NonSequitur about how his ears burn.]] |
16 | * ChaosWhileTheyreNotLooking: [[ImpliedTrope This could possibly]] be the reason why Caleb’s friend [[WithFriendsLikeThese doesn’t react to him getting hurt.]] But a [[TheUnreveal clear answer]] [[AmbiguousSituation isn’t given.]] |
17 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Caleb seems to be more concerned about [[MinorInjuryOverreaction his ears hurting for no reason]] over his leg being horrifically snapped in half. |
18 | * CrackOhMyBack: A variation based on this trope said by Caleb: |
19 | ->'''[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Glasses Caleb]]:''' ''[[TitleDrop Ayo the pizza here!]]'' |
20 | ->'''Caleb:''' ''[Runs down stairs and sprains his foot]'' ''[[OhCrap Oh!]]'' Nigga! ''[Falls down stairs]'' ''[[AmusingInjuries AAAGGGHHH!]]'' ''[cut to Caleb on the floor]'' |
21 | ->'''Caleb:''' [[SubvertedTrope Agh! My]] ''[[MinorInjuryOverreaction ears]]'' ''[[SubvertedTrope burn!]]'' |
22 | * DelayedReaction: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] and {{Played For Laughs}}: Caleb sounds [[ThisIsGonnaSuck very scared when he falls down the stairs]] and [[ReactionShot it cuts to a shot of]] [[ReactiveContinuousScream him screaming while falling down the stairs.]] [[SmashCut Then cuts to a shot of him]] on the floor with [[InjuredLimbEpisode his leg broken so badly that its]] [[BodyHorror ''going up to his head''.]] [[BaitAndSwitch Cue him commenting that his]] [[EarAche ''Ears'' burn.]] |
23 | * ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Caleb doesn’t acknowledge his horrific leg injury, and his friend doesn’t seem to notice him falling down the stairs. |
24 | * EpicFail: Caleb [[ArtisticLicensePhysics somehow]] falls down the stairs '''''headfirst''''' after tripping on the first step and [[AgonyOfTheFeet spraining his foot.]] |
25 | * EscalatingPunchline: Caleb [[ManChild runs down the stairs after his friend calls him for pizza]], sprains his ankle [[GravityIsAHarshMistress causing him to fall]] [[StaircaseTumble down the stairs]] [[FaceFault face first]]. (Complete with [[StylisticSuck a terribly made replica]] of him) [[AmusingInjuries A shot of him screaming]] [[OhCrap while falling down the stairs]] it ends with [[BlackComedy him crying on the floor]] [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction before commenting that his ears burn for no reason]] |
26 | * FacePlant: How Caleb falls down the stairs. [[FeelNoPain He doesn’t comment on this one either.]] |
27 | * FailedASpotCheck: This whole fiasco could have been avoided if Caleb took his time down the stairs. |
