What is that light supposed to be? Web Original
In the SMG4 page of groin attacks, I put in this conversation.
I'm wondering what's the trope's name regarding the part where swagmaster wonders what is the light supposed to mean.
EDIT: Ok not sure why the structure isn't copying exactly.

Blackbeard realize his beard became pink from a prank (Answered) Web Original
In this Assassin Creed 4 song
by SMOSH, Edward Kenway sees Blackbeard got drunk and passed out while they were celebrating their treasure find. He takes the chance to steal Blackbeard's treasure for himself before realizing he could also do something else. When Blackbeard wakes up, he realizes that Edward not only stole his treasure but dyed his beard pink, he screams out Kenway as Edward sails away laughing as his prank worked.
Which trope about pink fits the above scene? Also, is there a trope about "You were the first to fall asleep at a party and hence get pranked by the other attendees"? Feel like the second question also fits the scene well.

Elon Musk liked being the world's richest Twitter troll so much that he bought the company and made himself CEO, and has been, shall we say, very controversial in his new job. Is this Promoted Fanboy, Running the Asylum, or something else?

Obvious Post-Production Correction Web Original
You know how sometimes in web video the creator makes a factually incorrect statement, but not wanting to spread misinformation on the internet or do a new take of that part, they might dub over the line with whatever mic they have at hand or text-to-speech, pause the video and say "Sorry fellas it's not actually X, it's Y, my bad" or briefly show some text on the screen with the correct information? Like, they make a whole bit about it instead of trying to hide that there ever was a mistake made at all?
A particular pregnancy trope for smosh (RESOLVED) Web Original
In Mimes Are The WORST!, one segment has the Mime and his girlfriend look at a pregnancy test (which says PREGGERS). The girlfriend then angrily asks him what was supposed to be a mime condom who could only respond with a cheeky grin.
I’m unsure which trope this is but I know it’s in the Pregnancy Tropes list.

Reactive Voiceover Web Original
There's a thing I've seen often on Binging with Babish and The Backlogs among others, where an obviously post-recorded voiceover responds to action on-screen as though it were being recorded on site - saying "Whoop" when dropping an ingredient, or offering a "Glurk" when an in-game avatar is smashed by an enemy's hammer. Is this a Thing?

Falling victim to the thing you humiliated someone else for Web Original
For example, a character humiliates and bullies the janitor, and then eventually, they become the janitor themselves.
Alternatively, someone humiliates someone else for being in an embarrassing situation, and then get into that situation themselves.
Opening that looks like news broadcast Web Original
Translation for the screenshot (because it is in Japanese):
Accidental adoption Web Original
A character unintentionally ends up with an adopted child. Specific example in mind is how Schlatt accidentally adopts Grunk in SMPLive when Grunk initially intended to assassinate him. Couldn't for the life of me find a trope for that but feel it probably fits somewhere.
