4	''Deez Nuts'' is a 2015 short video uploaded to Instagram by Welven Harris under the username [=WelvenDaGreat=]. In the video, Welven calls his dad to check on the mail. Once he finally gets on the phone with him, he tells him that a package came in the mail the other day. The package in question turns out to be "deez nuts", which causes both him and his dad to laugh. The video is by far Welven's best-known work, and it has spawned several parodies and remixes.

8	Despite the video's short running time of one minute at most, it exhibits multiple tropes.
9
10	----
11	!!Tropes featured in the video:
12
13	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Despite falling for Welven's joke, Welven's dad still finds it funny and laughs along with him.
14	* AdaptationExpansion: The extended version adds some more exposition about Welven's attempts to get on the phone with his dad and tell him the joke.
15	* AllThereInTheManual: Welven's name isn't said in the video, and the short version (which is the most popular verison) isn't on his channel. The only way you will know who he is is if you go on his Instagram website, watch the extended version on his official account, or read about the video on other websites.
16	* AsideGlance: During the video, Welven briefly looks at the camera while he's talking on the phone with his dad.
17	* BaitAndSwitch: The main joke can be considered this. Welven leads his dad into thinking it's a [[SeinfeldianConversation mundane conversation about checking the mail]], but he talks about "deez nuts" instead.
18	* {{Beat}}: There is about a 2 second pause in between Welven saying "something came in the mail today" and him saying "deez nuts".
19	* CanonForeigner: Stace only appears in the extended version, not the original video.
20	* ChromosomeCasting: There aren't any female characters in the short version. Averted in the extended version, in which Welven briefly talks to a woman at the beginning named Stace.
21	* DoubleEntendre: The phrase "deez nuts" can be considered this, as it could either be actual nuts (that would make sense to arrive in the mail) or human "nuts" which normally wouldn't arrive in the mail.
22	* DramaticIrony: The audience already knows what Welven allegedly received in the mail from reading the title of the video (at least in the case of the short version). His dad, on the other hand, has no clue that Welven's even pranking him until he hears the punchline.
23	* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The video ends with both Welven and his dad laughing.
24	* FingerInTheMail: If the nuts in question are human "nuts", that is.
25	* FlatCharacter: Due to the short length of the video and the lack of a real plot, very little characterization is given to either Welven or the people he talks to.
26	* FunetikAksent: It's intentionally spelled as "Deez Nuts" to mimic Welven's voice.
27	* GenderFlip: In the original Music/DrDre song, the person on the other end is a woman. In this version, however, the person on the other end is male.
28	* InherentlyFunnyWords: The phrase "deez nuts" is this for both Welven and his dad, as it makes them laugh.
29	* JitterCam: The camera jitters back and forth throughout the video, most likely because it is filmed with a cellphone. The extended version applies a stabilizer that keeps Welven in the same spot but moves the rest of the video to match.
30	* JumpCut: Right at the beginning of the video, there is a jump cut that goes from Welven looking at the phone to Welven briefly looking at the camera while talking. The extended version keeps this in, but moves it closer to the middle of the video.
31	* LargeHam: Welven definitely qualifies with his over-the-top laughter.
32	* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Upon saying the punchline of his joke, Welven laughs hysterically and says "Ha, got'eem!".
33	* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: The short version provides just enough information to set up the punchline and almost nothing else. The extended version, on the other hand, includes a bit more information about Welven calling his dad.
34	* MinimalistCast: The only people in the short version are Welven and his dad. The extended version adds a woman named Stace that he briefly talks to at the beginning.
35	* NamedByTheAdaptation: The person on the other end is only named in the extended version of the video, though they are only called "Dad".
36	* NewhartPhoneCall: It isn't possible to make out what Welven's dad is saying, but he can be heard laughing at the end of the video. Stace is easier to hear, however.
37	* NoNameGiven: The other person on the phone is never given a name in the short version, but they are called Dad in the extended version.
38	* NonSequitur: The punchlines comes out of nowhere, as "deez nuts" is almost completely unrelated to anything you'd normally expect to see in the mail.
39	* NoPlotNoProblem: The video consists of Welven sitting on a couch telling a joke over the phone about "deez nuts". There are no other plot points or scenes.
40	* NoTitle: The work was posted to Instagram without an official title. Welven later posted it on Website/YouTube as ''GOT'EEEEMM!!!!!'', and then he later began referring to it as ''Deez Nuts''.
41	* OpeningScroll: An example of the fading variation. The extended version includes some brief text at the beginning that explains that Welven's calling to check on his mail.
42	* PrankCall: The video is a prank call involving Welven telling his dad that "deez nuts" arrived in the mail.
43	* ReCut: The 56-second version is an extended version of the original version uploaded prior.
44	* SeinfeldianConversation: Everything before the punchline is just Welven checking on a mundane package he received.
45	* ShortFilm: The short version is only 15 seconds long, and the extended version is just under a minute long.
46	* ShoutOut: The video is a reference to Music/DrDre's song “Deeez Nuuuts", in which Warren G tells a joke about "deez nuts" to a woman on the phone.
47	* TitleDrop: The punchline, "deez nuts", is also the title of the video.
48	* UncleTomfoolery: Welven is the black comic relief for the video.
