4Walulis is a semi-continuation of ''Series/WalulisSiehtFern'', now on Website/YouTube, produced by ''funk'', a service provided by both [[UsefulNotes/GermanTVStations ARD and ZDF and their affiliates]] in an effort to support content [[TheInternet where]] the ''öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender'' [[note]] basically the german equivalent (publicly-owned, taxpayer-funded) of PBS or Creator/TheBBC[[/note]] [[PeripheryDemographic did not have any before]].
5
6It is closer in style and humor to american comedy shows, such as ''Series/TheDailyShowWithJonStewart'' and ''Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver'', than ''Series/WalulisSiehtFern'' was (which was inspired by ''Series/CharlieBrookersScreenwipe''), but still focuses on media and analysis. The biggest difference might be the inclusion of media apart from television, such as VideoGames or [=YouTube=]. This is [[InvokedTrope deliberate, as the concept of the show was divised in cooperation with the viewers]], who recommended these shows as examples of what they would like to see.
7
8It is currently ongoing and new episodes are released every Monday and Thursday on both [=YouTube=] and the official ''funk'' website.

10!!Die Folgenden Tropes werden euch von der Glocke präsentiert:
11* BlackComedyBurst: Whenever Phillipp [[ItMakesSenseInContext raises his finger]], one can assume that this is about to happen, frequently in combination with GodwinsLaw.
12* TheCape: Die Glocke [[note]]meaning the WebSite/YouTube notification bell[[/note]]
13* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The Assi went from Antagonist to AntiVillain and now even frequently interacts with Phillipp.
14* ColorContrast: Yellow and Black
15* CuteKitten: The Safari Kitten
16* DarkerAndEdgier: Not by a lot, mostly using more BlackComedy than Series/WalulisSiehtFern
17* DeathIsCheap: Characters are killed in TheStinger and return without any lasting consequences
18* DeconstructorFleet
19* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Whenever something is filmed that doesn't involve Phillipp behind the desk
20* DemotedToExtra: Tobi, when compared to the amount of roles he played on Series/WalulisSiehtFern. This was lampshaded during a community segment.
21-->'''[=YouTube=] comment''': I've forgotten what Tobi looks like!
22-->'''Phillipp''': Then get that pause button ready, because this is what he looks like! ''(holds up a framed picture of Tobi for less than a second)''
23* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Used to explain how certain [=YouTubers=] can create content that falls within the [=YouTube=] age restrictions
24* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Earlier episodes are less refined than the later ones - also no [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Safari Kitten]]
25* EdutainmentShow: A comedy show that analyses techniques employed in different media genres
26* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Die Glocke
27* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Thoroughly deconstructed
28* {{Expy}}: ''The Bum That Does Their Finances'' started off with noticeable similarities to [[WebVideo/BumReviews Chester A. Bum]] but now seems to have turned out as a immortal EldritchAbomination
29* ExtraLongEpisode: When the topic allows for enough material, episodes can be up to 15 minutes long
30* FailedASpotCheck: ''Der Assi'', quite often
31--> ''"Und wat ist daran jetzt so schlimm?"''[[note]]Then what's so bad about that, eh?[[/note]]
32* FalseReassurance: The public will regain its trust into the journalists... in about 90 years.
33* GodwinsLaw: Cited whenever the chance for a [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi joke]] wasn't taken.
34* IncrediblyLamePun: Calling the inhabitans of the german version of Series/LoveIsland ''Einfaltsp-insel'' (meaning nitwit; with emphasis on ''Insel'', which is the german word for ''island''). [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] immediately.
35** Suggesting that the fanfares (''Tusche'' in german) that traditionally play after jokes during carnival should be played by the band ''Touché''.
36* ItMakesSenseInContext: Why there is a Safari Kitten.
37* LivingForeverIsAwesome: [[InvokedTrope Implied.]] The bum is genuinely surprised when Phillipp reminds him that he won't be alive when the former's prediction (see FalseReassurance) is supposed to come true.
38* NoodleIncident: Whatever happened [[NoodleImplements involving]] The Assi's neighbour and the drone
39* OctopoidAliens: Seen in the thumbnail of the video analysing alien-conspiracies
40* OnceAnEpisode: A Joke with a [[MundaneMadeAwesome raised finger]] is made
41* OurZombiesAreDifferent: ''Humans for Zombie-Preservation!''
42* PerfectlyCromulentWord: The show's title, while really Phillip's last name, was chosen because of it's unusual sound and memorability
43* PlayingWithFire: The bum seems to possess these
44* RememberTheNewGuy: How new characters are introduced
45* SpectacularSpinning: Downplayed, but the Walulis logo does spin during the intro.
46* TagLine: ''Die Medikamentenausgabe im Irrenhaus Internet''[[note]]Medicine for the loony bin internet[[/note]]

49-->[[TheStinger Im Internet schau ich ja eigentlich]] [[TheInternetIsForPorn nur Pornos.]] Ja, und les' TV Tropes. Das hat mir sogar [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife das Leben ruiniert]].[[note]]I only use the internet for porn. Well, and I read TV Tropes. That ruined my life.[[/note]]
