  • Nigga Turtles, a lengthy spoof of the first two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) films that so far has eleven parts.

  • Officer Harris Mint: A psychotic racist cop harasses another unnamed protagonist and regularly threatens to kill him.

  • Uncensored Cartoons: Dubbed over cartoons ranging from Timon & Pumbaa to The Muppet Show.
  • Uncensored NBA Talk: Dubbed over snippets from various NBA footage.
  • Freddy and Jason in the Hood: As the title suggests, "hood" versions of Freddy and Jason stalk and kill people, and are set on a collision course.
  • A Story Arc begins forming as the rivalry between Freddy and Jason heats up and has destructive consequences for Los Santos, involving the other characters.

As well as numerous other skits and mini-series. Many of his skits are dubbed footage of Grand Theft Auto V, and he has occasionally posted live-action skits as well.

Tropes present in the works of Its Real 85 include:

  • Anyone Can Die: This begins to take effect in the final episodes of Crackhead Carl. The Hit Man, Pee-Wee, Carl's mother, and Raph are all killed, as well as countless cops and civilians.
  • Archenemy: Freddy and Jason, and also Officer Harris and Curly.
  • Arc Welding: The final episode of Crackhead Carl confirms that said series takes place in the same continuity as Freddy and Jason in the Hood. "Freddy Krueger in the Hood Part 2" has Freddy and Jason in the same episode as Harris and Carl, confirming it's all one universe. "Friday the 13th" also features a flashback to shortly before the two Crips did a drive-by on Freddy that ultimately got them killed in the first Freddy video.
  • Avengers Assemble: The creator has implied that eventually, Freddy, Jason, Carl, Harris, the Nigga Turtles, Splinter, Shredder, Tatsu, and Da Patrol will team up or at least all come together in a future skit. Freddy, Jason, Harris, and Carl all appear together in the second Freddy episode.
  • Ax-Crazy: Most of the cast is this, but particular mention goes to Officer Harris, who regularly threatens to shoot a man for no reason, and has been known to brutally run over innocent people. Crackhead Carl also gets bloodthirsty after the death of the hitman.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Every episode of the ongoing series ends with the villains getting away with it. Also, in the Freddy and Jason videos, they successfully kill their targets.
  • Badass Boast: A hell of a lot from Freddy.
    Freddy: Taken it back. No-Talking, you hear this shit? Motherfucker, you never had this city. This been my city.

  • Big Bad:
    • Officer Harris Mint for his videos.
    • Crackhead Carl slowly becomes one.
    • Shredder for Nigga Turtles.
  • Black-and-White Insanity: Literally the case with officer Harris. It's to the point that even after Curly saves his life, and they amicably make amends, he returns two seconds later to continue harassing him and ignores what just happened.
  • Breakout Character: Officer Harris and Crackhead Carl are the most popular recurring characters as evidenced by the longevity of their video series. Splinter is this for all of itsreal85's work, however.
  • Bullying a Dragon: One of the Crips talks too much trash to Freddy (who's a Blood here) and is killed for it.
  • Cerebus Syndrome: The sixth episode of Crackhead Carl starts out lighthearted enough, with Pee Wee and Master Splinter attending a strip club. Then Pee Wee is killed by Carl with a rocket launcher.
  • Co-Dragons: No-Talk and another Blood are this for Freddy.
  • Comically Missing the Point: When the protagonist hires the hitman to kill Carl, he asks the hitman to act as if their meeting never happened.
    Hitman: What meeting?
    Protagonist: ... Bro, the meeting we just had right now-OH!! I get it! Man, this dude's a professional!

  • No Name Given: None of the main protagonists are referred to by name.

  • Once an Episode: Crackhead Carl and Officer Harris Mint feature the titular characters harassing the protagonists and getting away with it at the end of every episode.

  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Officer Harris dons an ugly sweat suit to pose as a drug addict to try to bust the protagonist, who sees right through it. Doesn't help that Harris uses cop diction like "illegal narcotics", which he's also called on for.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Officer Harris Mint, oh so much. It's to the point that he decides that black seat cushions must be up to no good and panics when he accidentally shoots the white part of a car. He also declares his support for Donald Trump in Episode VII.
