The video

The parodies

  • Awesome Ego: Leopold, in spades.
    Leopold: Let's see my grades, I probably got an A+++!
    Leopold: Maybe the teacher liked my essay so much, she'll let me go to 10th grade early!
    Leopold: I'm going to fail this class again! Please, I don't want to do the exam! Don't make me do it and I will try to be a better student! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I AM NOT ALREADY THE BEST STUDENT IN THIS STUPID SCHOOL!!!
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Hitler from Downfall and his generals, for playing as antagonists to Leopold on a given basis.
  • Fandom Rivalry: Friendly relationship between fans of AGK parodies and HRP parodies, mostly. Especially seen, given that the cast from each series tend to meet each other from time to time.
  • Nightmare Fuel: This video by Kyle Gilchrist.
  • Tear Jerker: The ending of Angry German Kid Gets a Girlfriend by The Inside Filmer. Luckily he gets better in the next episode.

Jeeves476’s parodies

  • Angst? What Angst?: In Angry German Kid Meets Hannah Montana and Angry German Kid Spends Time Behind Bars, AGK ends up being raped by Michael Jackson, three times over the course of both videos. Normally, it'd be something traumatic for anyone his age, but it seems to be treated like an annoyance at worst (though the last instance ends up being the last straw for him to break out of prison). After that, the only other mention of it is when Jovi reveals she was responsible for orchestrating that among other events.
  • Designated Villain: Mike, Jovi’s older brother. After AGK blows up their house as revenge against Jovi for beating him up unconscious, Mike sells AGK a false computer upgrade containing a virus as an act of revenge for their house. However, it cannot be compared to blowing someones home up as a petty and disproportionate act of revenge.
  • Growing the Beard: The animation in Jeeves' videos have noticeable improvement in each subsequent video, with Angry German Kid vs Jovi having a lot more movement than ever before compared to his prior videos, and Angry German Kid and the Ice Cream Truck getting a huge animation overhaul thanks to the use of Adobe Flash Pro instead of Windows Movie Maker.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: The instances of Black Comedy Rape to AGK from Michael Jackson in Angry German Kid Meets Hannah Montana and Angry German Kid Spends Time Behind Bars would end up as this when Michael Jackson would pass away 2 years after the release of the first video. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Jeeves, as the descriptions of both videos were updated to express condolences for MJ's death (with the former video adding a disclaimer that the video was made before he died).
  • One-Scene Wonder: Part 2 of Angry German Kid vs Jovi has Leopold pulling off his very own Final Smash on Jovi. Even if it was ultimately negated by Jovi using cheat codes, the effort that went into such a sequence is as awesome as it manages to be hilarious.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome:
    • Many people have expressed coming back to Jeeves' parodies for not only how entertaining they may be to watch, but especially the animation in both parts of Angry German Kid vs Jovi, which are deemed to still hold up well despite how long ago the videos were made. In particular, Leopold and Mr. Game and Watch fighting through the Smurf horde Super Smash Bros. style. Here, it's as if they were in a level of The Subspace Emmisary. This culminates in the final fight with Jovi being animated as a full fledged Brawl style fight, complete with a very immersive sound design and Leopold and Jovi having moves that would feel right at home in a Smash title. Jovi is also depicted akin to an SNK Boss, being able to take a lot of hits despite only having one stock and score KOs pretty early (such as KOing AGK at 40% with a simple up throw).
    • Angry German Kid and the Ice Cream Truck takes the cake for looking better than ever before while keeping and expanding on the style of Jeeves' past videos thanks to the use of more advanced software. It's good enough to where many in the comments lament that it would be the only video in the new style before Jeeves suddenly stopped making videos in the series for the channel.
