"YOLO" is an Adult Swim original series that premiered on August 10th, 2020. The series follows Sarah and Rachel, two Australian girls who love partying, but get caught up in crazy circumstances. Oftentimes, they are followed by a wizard named Lucas the Magnificent, who has a massive crush on Sarah.
The series was renewed for a second season, which was entitled "YOLO Silver Destiny."
Tropes:
- Bridezilla: Sarah's sister becomes one of these as a result of her wedding preparations.
- Love Potion: Lucas spends the entirety of Season 2 trying to obtain the ingredients necessary for one of these, wanting Sarah to love him.
- Manchild: Sarah's dad frequently gets pissed off for little to no reason whenever someone talks to him about anything, even when they're not talking about him.Sarah's Mom: Oh that's a nice house isn't it.Sarah's Dad: What?!
- Meet Cute: How Sarah's parents really met. Her father was playing a slot machine, which his mother tried to play. Instead of getting mad, they decided to play the game together.
- Not Hyperbole: Sarah's Nan invites her and a friend to her Christmas cruise, and when Sarah shows up her Nan exclaims "Now I can die happy." She then explodes.
- Nuns Are Funny: Sister Morrison in that Season 2 opener, who growls that Rachel's a demon (which she accidentally proves accurate when her loogie manages to burn a hole in the grass) and chastises Sarah for having chosen "evil" by continuing to associate with her.
- Self-Deprecation: One of the first Adult Swim promos had Sarah's parents watching a video of the show before declaring they hated it. Sarah's dad even freaks out screaming he wanted more Metalocalypse.Sarah's Dad: What the bloody hell was that shit?Sarah's Mom: Mm I don't know but it wasn't very funny was it?
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Season 1 finale features Rachel seemingly disappearing after wandering into the woods to pee. Which then leads to Sarah making the fairly mundane decision to call the police when she doesn't come back. They investigate for a few weeks before declaring her dead.
- Toxic Friend Influence: While touched on in Season 1, Season 2 fully spells out that Rachel and Sarah are bad for one another, and Rachel is holding Sarah back from greater success. However, the two would do anything for each other, and at the end of the season, are able to reconcile.
