7!!This series provides examples of:
8
9* AwkwardSilence: In the chorus for Don't Smoke, all of the instruments drop out, and the fast rapping goes from a repeated "don't smoke" every couple seconds.
10* BizarreTasteInFood:
11** Beff the Jeff eats straight popcorn cheese in the beginning of Don't Smoke.
12** When Beff the Jeff buys his sunglasses back from the Beff the Jeff shop, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent you can see someone in the back saying]] "these are some yummy sunglasses".
13* BlatantLies: As Beff the Jeff says "The grass is green/There's not a cloud in the sky", the camera pans to show dead and greyish grass and a sky matted over with clouds.
14* CallBack: In the first video, after the end card, a deleted clip plays that wasn't featured in the actual video. In the second part, after the credits roll, a heavily edited version of that clip plays.
15* CharacterTitle: Named after Beff the Jeff.
16* CoolShades: Beff the Jeff sports these. When he loses them in the second part, he's devastated.
17* CreditsGag:
18--> [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Random sweater-wearing person that has no correlation to the first part at all - Teddy]]\
19[[SelfDeprecation Overall lack of humor in this unfunny video - Teddy]]\
20Whose fault is this? - Teddy\
21Running out of ideas - Teddy\
22[[OverlyLongGag The idea to put text on a white and blue background - Teddy]]
23* CurseCutShort:
24--> '''Random Person:''' Aw, f-[[MusicalisInterruptus (trumpets)]]
25* EstablishingSeriesMoment: Beff the Jeff walks on screen, eats what appears to be [[BizarreTasteInFood straight popcorn cheese]], then launches into an intentionally cheesy anti-smoking P.S.A. parody.
26* FullNameBasis: Whenever someone refers to him, they call him "Beff the Jeff". Including himself.
27* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Beff the Jeff buys his sunglasses back, you can see someone in the back saying [[BizarreTasteInFood "these are some yummy sunglasses"]].
28* GrayRainOfDepression: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the second part.
29--> ''(Beff the Jeff walks in the rain, crying)''\
30'''Random Sweater-Wearing Person That Has No Correlation To The First Part At All:''' Hey, what're you doin' in the rain?\
31'''Beff The Jeff:''' ''(through tears)'' Shut up! This is sad.
32* GreenScreen: Used heavily throughout. The only scene not shot in front of a green screen is the scene outside at the beginning of the second part, when Beff the Jeff is outside.
33* HesBack: Beff the Jeff in the second part after getting his sunglasses back.
34* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Done in the first part to make fun of rapper titles.
35--> '''Chester:''' I'm big boy lil' [[EmbarrassingFirstName Chester]]...
36* MinisculeRocking: Don't Smoke is only 1:47, while Beff the Jeff Shop clocks in at 2:07. That's ''including dialogue''.
37* OldSchoolIntroductoryRap: "My name is Beff the Jeff and I'm here to say/What the heck is wrong with smoking anyway?"
38* OverlyLongGag: The setup to the second part, where Beff the Jeff stands outside and mourns the loss of his sunglasses, makes up ''over a minute'' of the video, which is only 2 minutes and 50 seconds long.
39* {{Parody}}: The first part is a parody of anti-smoking P.S.A.s.
40* SensoryAbuse: The heavily edited clip at the end of the second part can be this, with its overly loud (compared to the rest of the video) music and strange editing.
41* SeverelySpecializedStore: The titular Beff the Jeff Shop, which only sells sunglasses.
42* SingingVoiceDissonance: Zig-zagged: Beff the Jeff's rapping voice is much deeper than his speaking voice, but his singing voice is in line with his speaking voice.
43* StylisticSuck: The raps on the first part are intentionally cheesy.
44* TakeThat: When Beff the Jeff [[MatchCut Match Cuts]] into Creator/CharliDamelio, Chester punches him.
45* VocalRangeExceeded: WebVideo/MarioMaster412 hits a B-flat 5 in the second part, and it's insanely high.
46----
47--> To all of you out there, and Mr. Mancilla, [[TitleDrop Don't Smoke]].
