Aldrivers, Devourer of Cos is a YouTube Poop series made of various clips, mostly from Epic Rap Battles of History and spliced dialogue to create a unique story.
Originally "starting" during the George Carlin vs Richard Pryor battle, Joan Rivers decides to eat Bill Cosby alive instead of knocking him out because he was a criminal. Bill warns her not to because it would set her down a path to evil, but she did not listen and hence, became a power-hungry tyrannical monster who is bent on eating the entire universe with powers stronger than anyone could comprehend. Only a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits can save the world but they are running out of time. Can they succeed before Joan devours the entire universe?
First created by a YouTuber, MolemanNineThousand
, who created his own rap battles, which can all be found in this playlist
, he decided to make his own story. His test run, ERB YTP: Thomas Jefferson Reveals the Truth, Inciting Frederick Douglass to Take Drastic Measures
was to see how his audience would react to such content. Seeing it was ok, he proceeded to start the series, the named Aldrivers, Devourer Of Cos. Consisting of eight main chapters plus a bonus installment used to announce the finale after a lengthy hiatus, the series has been completed as of September 2023.

Aldrivers, Devourer Of Cos contains examples of:
- Adaptational Heroism: Donald Trump was portrayed as a Hate Sink and Politically Incorrect Villain in his second and far more substantial ERB appearance (although his third appearance, which all of this series' audio until the last part was made before, toned this characterization down considerably); here, he is one of the heroes. An original rap battle made by MolemanNineThousand in 2017 also characterized Trump similarly to this video as a direct response to ERB's treatment of him in 2016.
- Adaptational Villainy:
- Thomas Jefferson. In both real life and in the ERB canon, Thomas Jefferson was the one who tried stopping the slave trade from continuing when he was Virgina's governor although he was unsuccessful. In this series, he was the one who actually started the slave trade. He was also the one who assassinated the Kennedys and was a self-admitted child rapist.
- Joan Rivers. Obviously Joan would never have thought of cannibalism in real life. Even her ERB incarnation only verbally tore into Cosby for a good reason. This version of Joan decides that cannibalism is the way to go and proceeds to become an all-powerful monstrosity.
- Tony Hawk. This person decided to sell out all of humanity to Joan Rivers and become her dragon. Both his real-life and his ERB version are actually somewhat decent people to talk to and are certainly not devil worshippers.
- Ash Ketchum. An All-Loving Hero in canon, here he not only joins an apocalyptic death cult, but he also feeds his Pikachu to Joan Rivers as a sacrifice.
- Charles Darwin. The real life version and even his ERB incarnation loved his children dearly. In this continuity, he happily gloats to Ash Ketchum (who visibly looks shocked) about how he ate, dismembered, raped, tortured, and killed them in that exact order. He also was the one who carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks on Wendy's orders by using his semen to melt away the steel beams, is apparently a white supremacist who wrote The Turner Diaries, raped and murdered Ash's other, mother, and brother, and sodomized the Pope in order to make him publicly renounce God.
- Wendy. Merely the mascot of Wendy's in real life, here she casually admits to serving patties made out of human flesh, is a supporter of Hitler, and was the mastermind behind 9/11.
- Ronald "Jeremy" McDonald. Whereas in his own series Ronald was just the mascot of McDonalds, this version boasts about murdering more people than Bluebeard, was the Boston Strangler
, and as Moon Man, is both the leader of the Fourth Reich and the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
- Agony of the Feet: Joan decides to crush Thor under foot. This backfires because Thor is made of Legos.
- Airborne Aircraft Carrier: Bill O'Reilly's private flying fortress. Don't tell him to share it, that's how he survives.
- Almost Dead Guy: Batman when talking to Ted after Tony Hawk's defeat; signified by a bloody overlay based on those seen when wounded in First-Person Shooter games.
- Animal Mecha: Isaac Newton's huge Tyrannosaurus mecha that he claims is gonna decapitate the completely crazy homicidal maniac that is Joan Rivers.
- Antagonist Title: "Aldrivers, Devourer of Cos" is both the name of the series and what Joan Rivers calls herself.
- Apocalypse How: Joan is causing a Class 3a by devouring all of humanity in order to get enough power to trigger a Class X-4 when she devours the entire universe.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking:
- How Thomas Jefferson lists off the American utopia if he wasn't around:
Thomas Jefferson: Without me, here's a taste of what America would be: No racism, no wars, no disease, no criminal syndicates, no North Korea, no Jake Paul. See?- Eating Bill Cosby made Joan Rivers feel more powerful than Goku, Superman and Steve Urkel put together.
- George Carlin attempts to fight Joan Rivers using a massive dispatch of bazookas, gats, grenades, ballistas, plasma cannons, Tesla cannons, Smith & Wessons, and tomatoes.
- Charles Darwin telling Ash Ketchum the truth about certain media that he wrote, which doesn't actually include The Origin of Species. Also doubles as a Take That! to all the other mentioned material.
Charles Darwin: Bitch, I didn't even really write The Origin of Species. I actually wrote The 120 Days of Sodom, The Turner Diaries, Sonichu, and Velma.- Elon Musk wants a strike force composed of the world's greatest champions such as Tony Stark, James Bond, and David the Gnome.
- When Joan Rivers is explaining to Superman on how much more powerful she is than him:
Joan Rivers: (to Superman) I'm more powerful than you, Goku, Godzilla, Doctor Manhattan and Dora the Explorer combined. - Badass Crew: Let's see. We have Bill & Ted, a pair of boys who can time travel (with the former dying and the latter become stronger from it), Donald Trump, the Big Good of the crew, Freddie Mercury, a musician who can change his size to become a giant at will, J. R. R. Tolkien, an author with mastery over several weapons and his "hardcore hairy-foot fetish midget ass porn", Batman, one of the best combatants known to the entire world, Julia Child, a Gadgeteer Genius, Mahatma Gandhi, a former pacifist who can Throw Down the Bomblet, Oprah Winfrey, a rare-heroic spymaster with skills equal to that of Sam Fisher, Stan Lee, who has Wolverine's adamantium claws and healing factor, Al Capone, The Don with access to plenty of guns, and Hannibal Lecter, a cannibal and an excellent psychiatrist who proved himself as a true ally by reassuring Batman, who is known to be Properly Paranoid, that he's on their side, not Joan's.
- Berserk Button:
- Gandhi has two of them; don’t call him "poo-poo with a face", and don’t insult the deaths of his people, unless you want him to bust nukes (plural) up in your optic stems.
- Whatever you do, do not blaspheme in the presence of Super Mecha Death Lewis, unless you want to face a massive barrage of plasma bolts.
- Beyond the Impossible: Oprah Winfrey somehow managed to plant a bomb directly behind Joan Rivers' eye socket without the latter or anyone else noticing. A baffled Al Capone lampshades this;Al Capone: I mean, I can't exactly complain, but how the actual poopy dick is that even possible?!
- Big Bad: Joan Rivers. She wants to devour everything on not just the Earth but the universe as well in order to make a new one where she’s free to torment and feed on all life for the rest of time.
- Big Damn Heroes: The climax of the series has Tory returning with reinforcements to help the remaining crew once Joan goes into her One-Winged Angel form. Earlier, Ted was this for the group against Napoleon Bonermight when the latter nearly defeated them.
- Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: While the insults in this series are largely on the vulgar side, some of them are considerably more childish;
- An unimpressed Stan Lee describes Tory as being "one part poo-poo, the other part doo-doo."
- Wendy manages to get under Gandhi's skin by calling him "poo-poo with a face."
- Superman calls Joan Rivers a "caca face poo-poo head doo-doo brain big awful meanie."
- Black-and-White Morality: Joan Rivers is an Omnicidal Maniac and must be destroyed at all costs along with all her followers, making anyone and everyone willing to stand against them a hero by default.
- Black Comedy: This series is rife with this trope. For starters, Wendy being the one who orchestrated 9/11 and Charles Darwin being the one who carried it out.
- Black Dude Dies First: The first two onscreen casualties of Joan Rivers? Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.
- Blasphemous Boast: After eating her fellow comedians, Joan Rivers has this to say;Joan Rivers: Now I see how much of a lie The Bible is and I curse the con Christ for wasting everyone's time throughout the ages! The truth is: the real golden way to divine and holy power is to devour everybody in the world, extinguishing mankind, then kill God to become the new supreme master of reality, remade in the image of your buttcheeks!
- Body Horror:
- Joan Rivers’ body warps in increasingly gruesome and visceral ways the more people she eats. Near the end of the series, she transforms in the same way that Tetsuo did for good measure.
- The "gift" that Tony Hawk got from Joan Rivers is bad enough, but he proves durable enough to survive Ted giving him a nine hundred degree neck twist, leading to the grotesque sight of his eyeless head laying several feet from his body at the end of a mangled spinal cord.
- Napoleon Bonermight possesses "five big purple dicks [and] seventeen obese greasy balls."
- Bookend: The start of Joan's descent into being an all-eating god is by viciously tearing into Bill Cosby. How does the series end? With Joan viciously tearing into her own heart, ending her reign of terror for good.
- Boom, Headshot!: Subverted. Alexander Hamilton attempts this trope on Joan with his gun from Supernatural but his bad aim means he misses his shot.
- Butt-Monkey: Tory just can't get a break from the other heroes as they don't give him any respect despite him organizing the resistance to stop Joan.
- Camp Gay: Exaggerated with Mozart, who, in addition to acting and dressing as flamboyantly as usual, spends much of his screen-time bragging about being "the world’s gayest composer."
- Cannibalism Superpower: Joan's powers are apparently derived from consuming celebrities in particular; after her very first kill, she already declares herself to be "more powerful than Goku, Superman and Steve Urkel put together".
- Canon Foreigner: A few characters never featured in ERB up to that point have minor speaking parts, most notably Jane Randolph Jefferson, Jimi Hendrix, C. S. Lewis, Markiplier, John Wilkes Booth, and Alexander Hamilton.
- Card-Carrying Villain:
- Thomas Jefferson riles up Fredrick Douglas first by revealing that he started the Transatlantic slave trade, and then by claiming to be responsible for every ill that has ever plagued American society as a whole, gleefully regaling Douglas with the horrors that were brought about by his actions.
- Joan Rivers relishes in how much of a monstrous villain she is, and often tends to gloat about how she’s infinitely more horrifying and destructive than anything known to mankind. Case in point, she describes herself like this in Part 2 of The Wrath of Aldrivers, Devourer Of Cos when Ted calls her an "irredeemable monster";
Joan Rivers: Woah, woah, what took you so long, idiot? I am inevitable, immeasurable, inexorable, monstrous, but I’m no mere monster, not Satan either, I am the physical embodiment of the heat death of the very universe itself!- Charles Darwin is a Serial Rapist in this version, and like with the aforementioned Thomas Jefferson, he brags to his opponent about his grievous misdeeds.
- Ronald McDonald is also one of these, to the point that he and Joan spend their shared screen-time competing over who is eviler.
- Characters Dropping Like Flies: And how! By the end of the series, the only characters left alive are Hannibal Lecter, Al Capone, Oprah Winfrey, Julia Child, Freddie "Jupiter" Mercury, Pablo Picasso, George Washington, and (presumably) Robin Williams.
- Chekhov's Gun: During her introduction scene, Julia Child shares a "tip" for how to make a bomb out of a Poké Ball, which seems like a throwaway joke until she much later uses this exact tactic against Ash Ketchum himself.
- Chekhov's Gunman: C. S. Lewis, or rather Super Mecha Death Lewis, who is mentioned several times by J.R.R. Tolkien before showing up after Caitlyn Jenner denies his presence.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Several, most notably from Ted: "Oh, for the love of actual, literal, genuine shit piss fuck cunt cocksucking motherfucking tits fart turd twat niggers Barbara Streisand!"
- Composite Character:
- Mahatma Gandhi seems to take cues from both his real-life version and his Civilization version.
- Batman, in this case from ERB's "Batman vs Sherlock Holmes", also takes cues from other Batman media such as The Dark Knight Trilogy and Batman: Arkham Origins.
- Ted, after going through a Traumatic Superpower Awakening of losing Bill, gains the powers and abilities of Neo from The Matrix and John Wick from John Wick (with footage from the films being used as well). Later on, he tells Joan that he's somehow also John Constantine. Justified as Ted was portrayed by Keanu Reeves, who also portrayed those three characters.
- Thor is depicted via the LEGO version of him from ERB, which is based on the original myths, but he gets summoned by Stan Lee’s secret power along with the other Marvel characters.
- Moon Man and Ronald McDonald are separate characters in the McDonald's canon. In this series, Moon Man is Ronald's alter-ego.
- Conflict Killer: Joan's campaign is enough to bring various characters who would otherwise be enemies, such as Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Batman, and Hannibal Lecter, together on the same side.
- Cruel and Unusual Death:
- Everyone that Joan Rivers eats ends up suffering this, because she prefers to nibble little pieces off of her victims and keep them alive and conscious for as long as possible, partly to draw out the flavor, but mostly out of pure sadism.
- Tony Hawk planned to inflict this on Batman by first disemboweling him and then essentially raping him through his ear sockets. Even though Ted shot out Tony Hawk's remaining eye before he got too far, Batman was still left in such horrendous pain that he got Ted to put him out of his misery.
- Walt Disney got sucked into a "gigantic, flesh melting, black hole of infinite darkness" that Joan conjured up, and then shredded into a bloody smear, much like how Syndrome went in The Incredibles 1.
- Joan Rivers, once she was turned back into a normal person by Robin Williams, ended getting shot by Al Capone, and then proceeded to lose control of her hands, which ended up tearing her own chest open and pulling out her heart in an attempt to feed on it.
- Death as Comedy: This pops up a lot in the series. For example, Stan Lee introduces himself by announcing his intent to put Joan out to pasture like Tony Stark. He later makes similar jokes about Gwen Stacy and Captain Mar-Vell.Stan Lee: Oh shit, Infinity War too soon? Well, I don't give a crap!
- Despair Event Horizon:
- Batman nearly crosses this when his sidekick Robin, faithful butler Alfred, and Morgan Freemannote all got eaten by Joan, while he was helpless to save them. Fortunately, Julia Child appears with a weapon specifically designed to repel the slime that Joan grants to her followers to help encourage Batman to keep up the fight.
- Anyone who joined the Church of the Tupperware went through this, hoping to get the apocalypse over with.
- Devil Complex: Exaggerated. At one point, Joan tells Ted that she's even worse than the Devil. When confronting Superman later, she claims to also be the answer to The Anti-Life Equation.Joan Rivers: By the way, the answer to Darkseid's little equation is 'I' as in 'I am the literal opposite of life,' and I don’t mean mere death, either; I mean the actual end of life, the universe, and everything period!
- Dirty Coward:
- Bill O’Reilly refuses to let anyone else on board his private flying fortress in order to ensure his own survival.
- While Austin Powers is perfectly fine with fighting Al Capone from within his bulletproof war machine, he’s quick to beg for mercy when Oprah Winfrey disables his defences.
Austin Powers: Wait, I surrender! You’ve won! You wouldn’t gun down a defenseless man, would you?Al Capone: Yeah; I would.- Joan Rivers largely maintains an air of smugness and sadism throughout the series, but is quick to panic when confronted with someone or something powerful enough to actually kill her, like Walt Disney’s magical attacks, the Colt handgun from Supernatural or Robin Williams, the latter of whom she doesn't even bother to fight, instead attempting to dispatch him with trickery, then when that fails, she pathetically tries to weasel her way out of punishment.
- Discontinuity Nod: Nice Peter Vs. EpicLloyd 2, which the creator of these videos despises, is not used at all throughout the entire series.
- Dive Under the Explosion: To escape Joan Rivers, some people made like Sebastian and went deep beneath the seas living in a yellow submarine.
- The Dragon: Tony Hawk. He's the dude who sold out humanity to Joan for "extreme sexual powers". Unusually for this trope, he’s actually the first of Joan’s minions to fight the heroes, confronting them outside her tower to keep them from getting any further.
- The Dreaded: Joan Rivers quickly becomes this to the rest of the world as she goes on a cannibalistic rampage. Robin Williams is this for her in turn, being one of the only entities in existence more powerful than her.
- Driven to Suicide:
- The reason people are joining the Church of the Tupperware is to get the end of mankind over with, preferably with minimal suffering.
- When Joan convinces Ronald McDonald/Moon Man that ripping off Ray technically makes him black, his white supremacist mindset leads him to hang himself.
- Dystopia Justifies the Means: Joan wants to make a new rewritten universe where people only exist to be livestock devoured like they were scraps off her plate by the time they're age five.
- Eldritch Abomination: Joan Rivers becomes more and more powerful and horrific the more people she consumes. While there are moments where she looks human, it’s made perfectly clear that she is not. Even before transforming, the fact that she apparently was planning to do this ever since she was born makes it unclear if she was ever fully human to begin with.Joan Rivers: I’m one part H. P. Lovecraft, two parts Junji Ito, fourteen parts Warhammer 40,000 and six million parts Everywhere at the End of Time. Actually, there’s really nothing known to human comprehension to describe the level of horror…… except for maybe (CENSORED)! Oh yeah, it’s that bad!
- Eleventy Zillion: Trump proposes to "stab (Joan's) bleeding asscrack" into roughly this many pieces. note
- Enemy Mine: How bad was Joan? Both the North and the South from The American Civil War put aside their differences to take her down.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Al Capone, The Don who was associated with various murders, is implied to be a Father to His Men (and hookers). He willingly teams up with the heroes to get back on Joan for eating them. His charitable contributions during The Great Depression are also mentioned.
- Hannibal Lecter, a cannibalistic and a Wicked Cultured Serial Killer, thinks that Joan Rivers went overboard on the former and willingly joins to stop her. This is particularly notable as he himself was cited by Joan as an inspiration for her initial attack on Cosby, which he does not take kindly to. Notably, he also wouldn't do something as offensive as Blackface; that was Barack Obama's actual flesh he was wearing. He swears there's a difference.
- Ash Ketchum may be willing to sacrifice everyone to Joan Rivers, but the scope of Charles Darwin's atrocities visibly horrifies him, outright admitting at one point to be disgusted by the latter.
- As a comical example, Napoleon Bonermight, a complete villain with no redeeming qualities otherwise, is shown to utterly despise "the pig who made Animal Farm his bitch".
- Thanos, the titan who sought the Infinity Gems to wipe out half of all life in the universe in order to please Death herself, shows his disapproval towards Joan Rivers' final motive of consuming the entire universe before attempting to use them to disintegrate Joan Rivers. Sadly for the universe, Joan already took them away from him.
Thanos: It turns out you were way worse than Bill Cosby or his sweater: monstrous. I mean for Kirby's sake, even I left half alive! - Evil All Along: Joan Rivers tells Alexander Hamilton that she didn't eat Bill Cosby to punish him; in fact, she was an even worse rapist. She also makes it clear that it was always her plan to devour the world ever since she was born.
- Evil Versus Oblivion: Al Capone can't run an intricate criminal syndicate if there's no more people left in the world. Walt Disney holds this sentiment against Joan Rivers too, saying that he can't continue to dominate the planet if she eats the planet.
- Eye Scream: Tony Hawk inflicts this on Bill by sticking his big dick into his eye shortly before killing him. Ted pays him back in kind by shooting out both his eyes separately.
- "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner: Super Mecha Death Lewis' last words. "OXFORD INKLINGS FOREVER, FUCKERS!"
- Fantastic Ableism: None of the protagonists let Tory join the team because he doesn't have any special powers. They refuse to change their minds or acknowledge him as a hero even after he gathers reinforcements to save them from Joan.
- Foreshadowing: Hannibal Lecter is able to convince the heroes that he's on their side by pointing out that he can control his bloodthirst most of the time, while Joan can't control hers even eight percent. Sure enough, when the final battle ends with her getting de-powered by Robin Williams and shot by Al Capone, her instincts take over, and she involuntarily rips out her own heart.
- The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: At the end of The Apotheosis of Aldrivers, Devourer Of Cos, Joan Rivers kills and eats the Announcer as he’s in the middle of his signing-off catchphrase, before ending the video lunging at the camera.
- Freudian Excuse Denial: When Alexander Hamilton supposes Joan's evil is a result of her unexpectedly becoming drunk on dark power beyond human comprehension after the understandable initial killing of Bill Cosby, she states that such was always her plan and that she was an even worse rapist than him to begin with, playing on the Exact Words of her ERB-canonical statement that "The men that I slept with only wished they were unconscious".
- Fusion Dance: Napoleon Bonermight forms this way, visualized in the vein of Dragon Ball while verbally referencing Steven Universe.
- Gag Penis:
- Tony Hawk has one, and Napoleon Bonermight has five; both characters' monstrous genitals are furthermore on full display throughout almost the entirety of their respective screen-times.
- Mozart claims to have one that is three hundred miles long and
oozing excrement. Unlike with the previous two examples, we (thankfully) don’t see it at any point.
- A God Am I: Joan frequently refers to herself as a god throughout the series, to the point that she starts up her own cult known as the Church of the Tupperware dedicated to serving and feeding her.
- Godhood Seeker: This is what Joan wants to achieve by eating the world and gaining all those powers. In fact, she specifically wants to supplant God Himself so she can remake the universe in her twisted image.
- Greater-Scope Paragon:
- George Carlin: He's the one who sent both Bill & Ted to get help in stopping Joan, although he does not live to see the help arrive.
- Elon Musk. He's the one who determined where Joan ended up (the North Pole in her Castle of Darkness). However, he could only broadcast his knowledge on the live Fox newscast before Joan ate him.
- Groin Attack: The series uses them throughout.
- Joan's favorite method of inflicting pain is by biting off the dick piece by piece. If Elon's reaction is anything, it's not pleasant. Joan even said that it was best for the men to be unconscious.
- Tony Hawk does this twice to Ted.
- In Chapter 7, Ted shoots Napoleon Bonermight in his grotesque groin to negate his attack.
- In chapter 8:
- J. R. R. Tolkien gets his manhood ripped out by Joan.
- Bob Ross mistakenly tears out his own groin, which causes Picasso to facepalm at him.
- Haggis Is Horrible: Who knew Joan Rivers hated haggis? In fact, it’s apparently the one thing in the universe that she doesn't want to consume.
- Heroic Sacrifice:
- Super Mecha Death Lewis taking the full force of Napoleon Bonermight's diamond-corroding acid sperm blast to save everyone else therefrom.
- Subverted for chapter 8 regarding Gandhi, who tried to blow himself up to take down Joan, but the latter disabled all his explosives before he could do so.
- Idiot Hero: Ted, who fails to discern Batman's obviously fatal wounds as such, miscalculates the value of 6+6, and falls for a ridiculous story about him being a piece of poop that came to life.
- Immune to Bullets: As Barack Obama found out, a bullet can't stump the Trump.
- Insane Troll Logic: When up against Moon Man, Joan convinces him to kill himself by claiming that since his outfit and piano playing resemble the style of Ray Charles, that technically makes him a black person.
- I Take Offense to That Last One: The thing that gets Frederick Douglass to finally snap is Thomas Jefferson trying to spell out the N word. While racial slurs are heinous on their own, compared to everything else Jefferson confessed to (inventing slavery, causing most of the plagues on American society, torturing people to death as a hobby, molesting children, etc.) it comes off as rather minor.
- In Spite of a Nail: Even though Fredrick Douglass aborted Thomas Jefferson, the guy who invented the slave trade, was responsible for criminal syndicates in the US, and killed the Kennedys (no joke), Donald Trump reveals that the Kennedys were still shot, George Washington admits that he died owning slaves, and Al Capone is still a ruthless mobster.
- Despite having been president and memorialized on Mount Rushmore in Jefferson's place, Alexander Hamilton's history seems to have played out otherwise similarly to real life, including his death in a duel with Aaron Burr.
- In Their Own Image: Joan Rivers plans to remake the universe in the image of her buttcheeks. We don't get too many details on what such a universe would be like, but based on Elon Musk's comments, it wouldn't be anything good.
- The Juggernaut: Napoleon Bonermight. The heroes' attacks do nothing to stop him, causing him to just shrug them off as he easily defeats them. It takes the arrival of Ted (who at this point has the powers of both Neo and John Wick) to put an end to him and even then, Ted only barely managed to defeat him by rapidly punching Napoleon's pressure-points.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Joan killing Bill Cosby would be borderline-justifiable, if only she'd stopped there. Instead, she eats him alive and then immediately declares her intention to become "the one dark lord to rule them all in the universe" through further acts of cannibalism, and things only get worse from there. Ultimately the idea that the extent of her atrocities was initially unplanned is subverted per Freudian Excuse Denial above.
- Karmic Death: After eating and slaughtering countless people all over the world to satisfy her sadistic hunger, Joan Rivers meets her end when she succumbs to her own bloodlust and rips herself apart.
- Mind Rape: Joan does this to Trump twice to make his head explode: First by showing him thirty thousand pictures of George Bush's dick at the same time, and then by showing him the entire "Offended" page of Encyclopedia Dramatica. While neither attempt works, the second one does leave him reeling, so she takes the opportunity to eat him.
- Monster Clown: Ronald "Jeremy" McDonald: The self proclaimed "most vicious domestic abuser" who's worse than Bill Cosby, has more skeletons in his closet than Bluebeard, and claims to have been the Boston Strangler. The fact that he's secretly Moon Man, Commander of the Fourth Reich and Grand Wizard of the Triple K Mafia, also helps.
- My Death Is Just the Beginning: Stan Lee tells Joan that when he dies, every character that he's ever written will avenge him, like the Notorious B.I.G. And yes: That is a motherfucking JoJo reference.
- My Friends... and Zoidberg: Stan Lee greets the heroes. And Trump.
- Neck Snap: How Ted deals with Tony. It doesn't kill him though, forcing Ted to shut Tony up and kill him properly.
- Neutral No Longer: Gandhi was fighting the caste system in India as a pacifist, but thanks to Joan Rivers, India is a hole in the face of the Earth and 1.3 billion of his people are dead. So now, he's actively resisting the end of the world because he hates Joan more than Martin Luther hated the Jews.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Or non-standard voicing in this case. All dialogue in the series is constructed from that of ERB and related videos by its creators, with the exceptions of Isaac Newton and Gandhi, both of whom use unrelated voice clips from the celebrities who portrayed them in ERB, "Weird Al" Yankovic and Keegan-Michael Key respectively.
- Not-So-Imaginary Friend: While J.R.R. Tolkien frequently talks to C.S. Lewis off-screen, Caitlyn Jenner assumes that he's lying to himself about it. Cue Super Mecha Death Lewis bursting in to prove her wrong, mainly by blasting her to pieces.
- N-Word Privileges: The cursed word appears several times, but never as an insult toward a black person, which is the creator's personal policy on considering its use acceptable. Thomas Jefferson attempted to call Fredrick Douglass the word by spelling it out before being interrupted, however. Much later, a bit from ERB where Donald Trump attempts to say the word in an explicitly racist fashion in a Curse Cut Short moment is edited to make him complete the sentence with "criminals" instead, which Barack Obama responds to by using the actual word toward Trump. The closest it gets to being played straight is when Wendy calls Gandhi (who is Indian) this upon surviving his initial attack.
- Oh, Crap!: Plenty of them.
- It starts with Fredrick Douglass realizing how much of a monster Thomas Jefferson was.
- Chapter 1 has this reaction from both Richard Pryor and George Carlin from seeing how evil Joan was from eating Bill Cosby. Later on, both Bill and Ted were shocked to see their mentor George Carlin AKA Rufus get eaten by Joan.
- Chapter 2 has Sir Isaac Newton give two of these. Once when he saw his friend Bill Nye get eaten, and another one when he realized Joan was no longer a human.
- Chapter 3 has two:
- Mark Zuckerberg upon realizing he was next to get eaten after Joan ate Elon Musk.
- When Donald Trump realized that both Bill and Ted were telling the truth when saying that Joan was eating everyone.
- Chapter 6 has Tony Hawk having this trope when he realized that Ted suddenly became far more powerful.
- Chapter 7:
- Caitlyn Jenner when she realized C.S. Lewis was real under his form, Super Mecha Death Lewis.
- Ash Ketchum upon realizing Julia Child managed to a do a switcheroo with his Charizard's Poké Ball with the booby-trapped version and decapitate its head.
- Austin Powers when he first saw his mecha suit's defences breached by its forcefield's weakness, laser beams and then when he realized Al Capone was going to kill him despite pleading for mercy.
- Barack Obama when he realized Donald Trump managed to pull out a No, You attack on him, causing his gun to fire at his own head, killing him.
- Donald Trump himself gets this when he realized Wendy is more vicious than he could ever be on Twitter.
- Wendy herself in turn has this reaction upon seeing that Mahatma Gandhi managed to overpower her.
- George R. R. Martin when Julia Child gave him an Ass Shove with a frag grenade in his butt.
- Freddie Mercury and J.R.R. Tolkien has this when they realize that Napoleon Bonermight was much more powerful than them. Then they have an even bigger one when even Super Mecha Death Lewis' attacks did nothing to him.
- Napoleon Bonermight gives a quick one upon realizing Ted unleashed a fast fatal attack on him Fist of the North Star-style.
- In chapter 8, Joan Rivers gets two of these in succession at the end of the series, first upon getting shot by Al Capone, confirming that Robin Williams stripped her of her powers and turned her back into a normal human, and then a much bigger one when her hands move on her own and rip her heart out of her chest, ultimately killing her.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Joan describes her ultimate goal as being to "devour everybody in the world, extinguishing mankind, then kill God to become the new supreme master of reality".
- Personal Dictionary: When Thomas Jefferson threatens to bury Frederick Douglass with diarrhea from his genocidal ass like he did with all of Africa, the phrase "genocidal ass" is given two definitions:
- Prequel:
ERB YTP: Thomas Jefferson Reveals the Truth, Inciting Frederick Douglass to Take Drastic Measures
. Word of God has stated that because the Doctor is in prison offscreen, he is unable to time-travel to stop Joan with said powers
. - Pre-Mortem One-Liner: There are many throughout the series:Fredrick Douglass: (to Jane Randolph Jefferson, though it was directed at Thomas Jefferson as a fetus) This ain't rape baby. I mean I'm literally gonna fire a bullet right up your vagina.
Joan Rivers: (to Bill Cosby) I've already made up my mind, so beg all you want, but you'll still fucking get eaten; in fact, I'm about to rip your sweaty ballsack out through your slimy asshole with my teeth, put 'em in my mouth, and swallow at Christmas time like SNL!
Joan Rivers: (to George Carlin) Oh, shut up and just die already!
Joan Rivers: (to Sir Issac Newton. Played With in that she actually was going to eat Bill Nye, not Issac Newton) Well, not before I make your buddy over here the second Bill in my tummy; I doubt you're gonna enjoy watching the guy Bill Nye die, but that's just too bad!
Issac Newton: (to Joan Rivers) I got you now, you scum of the Earth; your head is right in my laser sights, and my automatic laser weapon target's locked to blow your brain to mush…!note
Joan Rivers: (to Sir Issac Newton) Yes, it's true: at this point, I'm like something out of Resident Evil, but scarier; You're trying to battle with the new capital G O single D! I'm gonna enjoy devouring your heart, and you ought to know: this will not be over quickly.
Joan Rivers: (to Elon Musk) Nice try, dope-smoking frog-face, but at this point, running me over with your self-driving truck couldn't keep my infinite number of razor-sharp teeth from sinking into your flesh, so let me end you real slow and painful like I was Joan Rivers, because honestly, at this point, no one else in history compares to my sheer monstrous cruelty: you're going to wish you were unconscious when I bite your dick off piece by tiny little piece!
Tony Hawk: (to The heroic Badass Crew) That's right; it's time to have some fun, and by "fun", I mean "committing mass murder", so which of you fools is gonna catch 99 bullets to the brain right off the bat?... Believe me: this will hurt a lot less than getting melted, so call this mercy!note
Tony Hawk: (to Bill) It's time to die, kid. Let me say something first: what I'm about to do to your stupid little eye socket… I'm gonna enjoy it very, very much! Any last words?
Tony Hawk: (to The heroic Badass Crew) …That's one ugly dog put down, and now it's time to clean house. You think you're protected with that tiny shield? Let's see how good it is at keeping this away from your flesh: Ooh…note
Tony Hawk: (to Batman) Hiya, Wayne!… And buh-bye, Wayne! You used to have guts, but now you're disemboweled, so it's time to finish this bitch like I finished all the others! … Time to die, Bruce… It's gonna really, really, really hurt. My cock will burrow in your ear, through your brains, and out the other ear!note
Ted: (to Tony Hawk) It's over, Hawk; I've got your throat! Nine hundred degree neck-twist!note
Ted: (to Tony Hawk) Oooooh, actually, you know, I'm glad you're still alive, so I can fix that properly like this…!
Freddie Jupiter: (to the Slaves of the Church of the Tupperware) Mama, I confess: I'm about to kill a whole lot of men with my oversized bare hands!
Tolkien: (to Slaves of the Church of the Tupperware) Take that! Keep lining up, you cocksuckers!
Tolkien: (to Slaves of the Church of the Tupperware) C. S. Lewis and I were just discussing how all of you pieces of shit shall not stop us from passing through your asses like diarrhea and to your horrible master in the top tower!
C.S. Lewis: (to [[spoiler:Caitlyn Jenner) FUCKERS!
Hannibal: (to Slaves of the Church of the Tupperware) I'm the bon vivant of violence; a licensed psychiatrist who dines on highest society to the sound of violins, but these maniacs are the lowest society anyone's ever seen, so instead, I dine on their stupid assholes to the sound of CrazyBus!
Julia Child: (to Ash Ketchum) Indeed; you've done fucked with the wrong chef! Now eat shit and die, bitch!
Mahatma Gandhi: to (Wendy) Kentucky Fried Chicken sends their regards, BITCH!note .
Mahatma Gandhi: to (Wendy) Query; where's the beef? Answer: Nowhere.
Julia Child: (To George R. R. Martin) When it comes to destroying you, there's one F-word: frag grenade up the butt!
C.S. Lewis: (to Napoleon Bonermight) How dare you say that kind of shit; everyone knows that God is a lion! For worshipping Joan, you must die, so eat plasma, fucker!note .
Ted: (to Napoleon Bonermight) You Are Already Dead.
Joan Rivers: (to Gandhi) Hahahahahaha, you getting ate up! You should've battled me on Ramadan, but actually, even on Ramadan, you'd still fucking get ate up, because I respect no religions except for my own, and now let me end you like Māui in Māori mythology; look it up!
Joan Rivers: (to Donald Trump) Oh, I'm inhuman, alright, but I ain't horny; I'm hungry: for you, Donald Trump! You're fired!
Joan Rivers: (to Markiplier) Oooh, what's that; a yummy wild Markiplier? Don't mind if I do! - Present-Day Past: Wendy’s Twitter post is posted on September 11, 2001 where she announced (among other things) that she was behind the plane attacks on the World Trade Center towers. However, Twitter was invented in 2006.
- Punch-Clock Hero: Stan Lee's here to save the world for about the hundred millionth time.
- Race Against the Clock: The heroes don't have much time to stop Joan from eating everyone and recreating the universe.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: George Carlin delivers an outright vicious one to Joan Rivers when she asks him for his last words;George Carlin: Screw you, you man-eating cunt; you'll never be a god! Your sex jokes are as funny as Amy Schumer raping Adam Sandler with a strap-on in a concentration camp! You call yourself a dark lord? You couldn't even conquer a man who comes from a higher ground!
- Remember the New Guy?: Subverted. Since Thomas Jefferson was erased from existence, the face that replaced him on Mount Rushmore was Alexander Hamilton.
- Religion of Evil: The Church of the Tupperware is a suicide cult founded by Joan Rivers to provide herself with worshippers that would serve as slaves, and then eventually as food.
- Ret-Gone: The Doctor helps Fredrick Douglass go back in time to prevent Thomas Jefferson from being born.
- Sacrificial Lamb: Bill S. Preston, who is largely Out of Focus throughout most of the setup and dies early in the first major battle against Tony Hawk.
- Sacrificial Lion: Batman, who dies at the end of said sequence after managing to put up a considerable fight and inspiring Ted to continue fighting on with his last words.
- Series Continuity Error: In Chapter 7, one of the many minions of Joan Rivers who got gunned down was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and yet in Chapter 8, he shows up as one of the reinforcements to defeat Joan Rivers. Moleman would acknowledge this error here
and rewrote "Mozart's" previous appearance as an Identical Stranger named "Blozart". - Shout-Out: The name of the series is a reference to "Aldrich, Devourer of Gods", and considering that like said character, Joan is a psychopath that consumed the flesh of sentient beings in order to gain power and mutated into a Lovecraftian monster as a result, it’s an apt comparison.
- Shown Their Work: A lot of the sentence-mixing is comedy-based. However, most of them are actually based off actual events or media.
- Bill & Ted calling George Carlin "Rufus"? He played that character in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures.
- Batman asking Tony Hawk if beating him will be "Electrocutioner easy"? In Batman: Arkham Origins, Electrocutioner has no programmed attacks and goes down in one punch, making him a Foregone Victory for the player.
- Suicide Dare:
- Ash Ketchum sacrifices his Pikachu to Joan Rivers by ordering him to "use suicide."
- Batman, dangerously close to crossing the Despair Event Horizon and about to take his own life, angrily tells Bill and Ted to hang themselves before he kicks their faces off.
- When Gandhi gets fed up with Tory's insistence on joining the team, he tells the latter to go to Africa and "get all of the AIDS, right now."
- When fighting Napoleon Bonermight, Ted at one point says this;
Ted: Stop humiliating yourself! Don't keep fighting, just give up! You should totally make like some Nazi leaders that are better men than you and put my gun in your mouth!- Hannibal Lecter expresses his distaste for Tory by telling him to ride his bicycle off a cliff.
- Joan tells Mozart that if she wasn't going to wipe everyone out herself, she'd tell him that he should turn the forty one percent note into the hundred percent.
- Joan defeats Ronald McDonald/'Moon Man' by telling him to kill himself, arguing that despite him being a white supremacist, ripping off Ray's style technically makes him a black person.
- Joan gets this herself from Walt Disney shortly afterwards when he has his forces spell out 'KYS'.
Walt Disney: You know what I said. - This Cannot Be!: Joan's reaction to the appearance of Robin Williams:Joan Rivers: No! You can't be here; you're dead! YOU'RE DEAD!!!
- To the Pain: Donald Trump describes in rather graphic detail what he wants done to R. Kelly. More specifically, he wants to boycott him, burn every record in his discography, attack him within his own living room, beat him within one inch of his life, castrate him, rip out his eyes and teeth, chop off all of his toes and fingers one by one, tear out all four of his limbs and remake Johnny Got His Gun, hang him from a tree, bring the Statue of Liberty to life like in Ghostbusters II and stomp his corpse into a million little pieces, piss on them all, and add insult to injury by having Nickelback write a hit song for the next Space Jam movie instead of him.
- Token Evil Teammate:
- Al Capone and Hannibal Lecter for the main team.
- Ronald McDonald and Walt Disney for the B-team; see Monster Clown above for info on the former.
- George Washington for the Rushmore gang, who as a result of Thomas Jefferson's erasure is the only one among the four to be explicitly identified as a slave owner, although he doesn't come off as evil as the other examples of this trope.
- Uncertain Doom: It’s unclear if Bill O'Riley or Jeff Bezos survived the events of the series or not. The first disappears before Elon Musk's broadcast, and the second is only briefly shown in a vision Joan Rivers conjures up to show J.R.R. Tolkien how "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" would tarnish his legacy.
- Undignified Death:
- While most members of the Church of the Tupperware merely got gunned down, George R.R. Martin met his end when Julia Child shoved a frag grenade up his butt. Martin had just enough time to panic before exploding into bloody chunks.
- Unlike with other characters, Joan doesn’t bother trying to eat Thor, probably due to him being a minifigure, so she stomps him flat with her bare foot instead.
- Unexplained Recovery: ERB's actual battles take place in a narrative vacuum, but can reasonably be interpreted as facilitated through some form of afterlife and/or time-travel. Warping them all together into a feature-length narrative with apocalyptic stakes and evidently set in the present day, however, renders the presence of long-dead individuals as this trope, with several people's actual deaths even specifically referenced as past events. This is pointed out by Robin Williams near the end when Joan (who herself died around the same time as he did in reality) calls it out in regards to him.Robin Williams: Dude, most of the characters in this whole series are dead, but you don't see us whining about it all the time, now do you?
- Ungrateful Bastard: As Hannibal lampshades, none of the protagonists feel any gratitude towards Tory for providing them with essential backup.
- Vagina Dentata: Something that a real woman can do. Actually, only Joan can do it, but it's not her fault that the other women failed at growing teeth.
- Verbal Tic: Joan often says "At this point", Stan Lee describes various characters as being "One part _ and the other part _", and Tolkien says "C.S. Lewis and I were just discussing".
- Villainous Glutton: Exaggerated with Joan Rivers, who wants to eat all life in the universe.
- Villain Respect: Al Capone respects Walt Disney and his empire, saying that Walt runs an even more intricate and ruthless criminal syndicate than he does.
- We Hardly Knew Ye:
- Elon's rap opponent, Mark Zuckerberg, shows up after Elon got eaten. He screams out how he knows he's screwed and the screen cuts soon after that. It's implied that Joan also ate him.
- Markiplier shows up right after Donald Trump gets eaten by Joan Rivers, makes a one-liner and is then eaten by her.
- Wendigo: Joan Rivers is essentially an extreme version of this with her increasingly inhuman cannibalism-perpetuated evolution. At one point, she's even depicted with the body of an advanced, three-headed form from Fallout 76.
- You Are Already Dead: Napoleon Bonermight's death is a direct recreation of the trope namer, complete with the line itself.
- You Monster!: This is what Fredrick thinks of Thomas Jefferson upon hearing about his actions that are crimes against humanity.Fredrick Douglass: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I HAD IT WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING EVIL RACIST MOTHERFUCKER!
- Your Head A-Splode: This happens to Austin Powers, Wendy, and Napoleon Bonermight (with the former two via a Boom, Headshot!).
- Your Mom: Trump, at a loss for a plan, jokes about feeding "your mother" to Joan, calling her so fat that the latter would probably never finish eating her, which Ted objects to despite describing Bill's mom as an "ugly hag", only for Trump to specify that he wasn't talking about Bill's mom.
- You're Insane!: Bill Nye wants to know who would ever worship someone as insane as Joan Rivers.
