Line #7 YMMV/TheYoungBucks


1	* AmericansHateTingle: The Bucks are one of the most beloved tag teams in America, but in Japan, they're generally thought of as just "Wrestling/{{Bullet Club}}'s obligatory junior tag team who do that superkick thing" and most of their matches are worked to very mediocre crowd reactions.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Matt and Nick's dad, Matthew "Papa Buck" Massie, Sr. composes many of the songs used on BTE and naturally, they all count as this.
3	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Are the Bucks an enormously talented and creative tag team who are great at drawing heel heat, or are they a couple of useless spot-monkeys with no sense of ring psychology and poor selling ability?
4	* CrossesTheLineTwice: One of the plotlines in BTE Episode 144 gets very dark very fast. [[spoiler: Matt's objection to AEW's signing of Michael Nakazawa escalates quickly as he hallucinates The Elite wearing t-shirts with Michael's name on it. Then Alex Jebailey, organizer of the CEO fighting game tournament, offers to fight Nakazawa in a hardcore match in response to an insult from episode 143. Matt's "obsession" gets very dark when he asks if Jebailey is willing to "end [Nakazawa's] life". Jebailey thankfully deflects the question.]]
5	* DracoInLeatherPants: Among the biggest in wrestling, and even within Wrestling/BulletClub itself. Their characters are arrogant to the point of douchery, to the point that they even make their high flying wrestling look like part of their egomania. Despite this, however, they're cheered to the point of being booked as faces [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff nearly everywhere they go save for]] Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, and their merchandise sells like hotcakes especially with Wrestling/RingOfHonor crowds.
6	* EvilIsCool: This is why they get the leather pants. The Superkick Party gimmick, the association with Bullet Club (and now The Elite with Kenny Omega), and the presence they have on social media, all help make them appealing to a wide section of fans.
7	* HarsherInHindsight:
8	** Their web show ''WebVideo/BeingTheElite''[='=]s plotlines included a "WWE Stooge" who was responsible for kidnapping Hangman Page, preventing Cody from using his last name in the indies, "resurrecting" Adam Cole for NXT after the show "killed" him off, and their opening salvo - sending a Cease & Desist to the Bucks about the use of the "Too Sweet" gesture. After the Bucks staged a "invasion" of Raw, they did end up getting a real C&D on that very issue.
9	** Nick didn't get along with Burnard The Business Bear on BTE. In real life, Burnard's performer would later get fired for 'holding up Cody for money.'
10	* HilariousInHindsight: Episode 28 of BTE had Wrestling/AdamCole telling The Bucks that they 'always have his back.' The Bucks would kick Cole out of the Bullet Club five months later. For extra hilarity points, several years later, who was the first women hired for AEW's roster, barring Brandi? Britt Baker, Cole's real life girlfriend, whose first order of business is to bring up said issue to the Bucks.
11	* MemeticMutation
12	** Super kick #2 (counting the number thrown by either Buck or whoever else might be teaming with them)
13	** From the 2014 ''Invasion Attack'': "Prince Devitto, tope con hiro dasnuca. YAH, Young Bucksu? Go homu! Prease go homu, Young Bucksu!"
14	* RefugeInAudacity:
15	** The "Who Poisoned Nick?" storyline on BTE. [[spoiler: It was Adam Cole, who also tried to split up Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks by (in-story) reporting Omega to the U.S. consulate over a video where he used a wrestling move on a child.]]
16	** The "Where's Hangman?" storyline on BTE which crosses over with parental worries. [[spoiler: In September 2017, WWE sent a legitimate cease-and-desist order to The Bucks over the Bucks' use of the "Too Sweet" hand gesture. They spun the incident into segments where they would get bleeped trying to use WWE catchphrases or references. An unseen storyline "WWE stooge" would retaliate with aggressive letters, then escalated the taunts by kidnapping Hangman Page at the end of Episode 69. Episodes 70 and 71 saw the BTE crew worried sick over Hangman's whereabouts. In Episode 72, Page escaped the stooge's capture after the stooge taunted Kenny using a voice box.]]
17	* ShockingMoments: After years of trading barbs on social media, The Bucks and [[Wrestling/TheRevival FTR]] finally come face to face on the post- ''Double or Nothing 2020'' episode of Dynamite.
18	* TearJerker: The opening of BTE Episode 236, [[Wrestling/BrodieLee "Brodie"]].
19	-->'''Matt:''' ''<holding back tears>'' ...it's Monday. You know what that means. This one's for you, Brodie. We love you, buddy.
