''WebAnimation/DrBees'' has its own page. Not to be confused with Franchise/HarryPotter.

* {{Gainaxing}}: [[MeaningfulName Princess Bustilda]], along with literally every female in the Starbarian's universe.
** An essential part of "Nicholas Cage Wants Chocolate Cake" is the hypnotically fluid and... ''lively'' animation of Tea Leoni's bust.

* MsFanservice: Every female character in the Starbarians cartoons. No exceptions. Their boobs are big, busty, [[{{Gainaxing}} prone to jiggling all over the place]], and barely covered.

Harold Andrew "Harry" Partridge (aka [=HappyHarry=], born 17 August 1985) is an English flash animator, who voice acts, writes and scores all of his animations, as well as occasionally doing collaborative works with Chris "Oney" O'Neill (of WebAnimation/LeoAndSatan fame) and WebVideo/StuartAshen. He also happens to be the son of Music/{{XTC}}'s Andy Partridge. Your stereotypical Flash cartoon, his are not!

* TestosteronePoisoning: Taken UpToEleven with the Starbarians for comedic effect. They are both burly buff dudes that [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill use excessive violence to murder people]] ([[NominalHero bad guys or not]]), take what they want regardless of whether they have any right to it, they eat nothing but a ridiculously over-stocked fridge of meat, Killgar is seen both eating an excessive amount of meat ''while'' having sex with a random woman, not to mention their spaceship/mancave ''is a t-rex with tits.''

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Justin Bieber, in ''The Justin Bieber Show''. His roommates range from a mildly disturbing, human-sized talking raven wearing a coat and hat (which is not drawn like a FunnyAnimal), to a [[AdultFear crazed woman holding a dead baby that she doesn't quite realize is dead]], and a [[BodyHorror guy with]] ''[[BodyHorror a beehive growing out of his face]]''.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rpn1cMdMkg Ace Ryder]], an old student film of his that he rediscovered by accident and redubbed for his channel.

* ImageSource: His animations provide the page image for:
** MasculineFeminineGayCouple
** {{Nerdgasm}}
** OutDamnedSpot

[[caption-width-right:350:Idunno, should we tell blissfuly unsuspecting [[TheChewToy Chuck]] what good ol' Harry's [[SadistShow got in store for him?]]]]

* {{Mondegreen}}: [[Music/{{Lordi}} BYE OLD]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPHaahKa1Nk MECHANIC MAN!]].

* PokeThePoodle: Apparent supervillain The Comforter [[ExaggeratedTrope takes this to its logical conclusion]]. He uses his Comfortizer to zap all the guards at the bank, rendering them too comfortable to stop him from... doing nothing else and leaving. In his hideout, he uses his nefarious machines to do things like calm down grieving widows. Through the whole cartoon he commits literally no crimes, and the heroes know it, but he's a supervillain so they bust him anyway.

* {{Expy}}: The superhero Omnipotron, an all-powerful naked blue person who experiences time non-linearly, is clearly a riff on Dr. Manhattan of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''.

* AntiVillain: The Comforter, who uses his patented Comfortizer to zap physical and emotional comfort to those who need it, such as overworked security guards and grieving widows. Even the police chief admits that he doesn't commit any actual crime. Yet he still acts, and is treated, like a supervillain.

Not to be confused with Franchise/HarryPotter

* BaitAndSwitch: Two in ''DR. BEES RETURNS'':
** The security chief called attention to Dr. Bees arriving from his Bee-mobile, with the screen panning towards a bee-themed vehicle speeding away. Then immediately afterwards, the Bee-mobile turns out to be Dr. Bees arriving from atop a mattress being pulled by a babushka.
** Towards the end, Dr. Bees [[spoiler:wished that [[TheyKilledKennyAgain he won't be killed at the end of the cartoon this time]]. Everybody laughed to his chagrin, then shortly afterward all of them except Dr. Bees got skeletonized, something the latter considered much worse]].
* BatmanParody: ''Dr. Bees Returns!'' gives Dr. Bees a Bee-Mobile, a Bee Cave, and sidekicks Bee Boy, Dr. Boy, and Boy Boy.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Dr. Bees wished for himself to not die at the end of ''Dr. Bees Returns!'' [[spoiler:When he sees everyone around him had suddenly been skeletonized instead, he admits to this being worse.]]
* BeeBeeGun: Dr. Bees is a walking version of this trope, unleashing [[ScaryStingingSwarm sting-happy swarms of bees]] on people in his ineffectual attempts to help them.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Dr. Bees ends ''Dr. Bees Returns'' the cartoon wishing for him not die at the end unlike the previous two episodes.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: To his chagrin, nobody respects Omnipotron's unlimited reality-warping powers which could solve any problem (or non-problem) with ease. They're all way more impressed with Dr. Bees, whose solution to every problem is to add bees.

* InformedAttribute: Just about everything Dr. Bees says about himself in his introduction is quickly, if not immediately, shown to be nonsense. He doesn't wear a mask (at least as Dr. Bees), he doesn't operate at night, and he doesn't appear to care about saving mankind. He does have a load of bees, though.

* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Dr. Bees is implied to have ''bee''-come one at the end of his titular animation.]]

** "Dr. Bees". He correctly identifies an object in the sky as a plane, noting that ''he himself'' is presently on the plane, and no matter where he is when he makes his entrance, he's always standing on a grassy hill dotted with flowers. Then there's the family at the picnic...

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: A problem arises that can actually be solved by Dr. Bees's supply of bees... but he's not there. Turns out he's long dead in the middle of some desert.
* NegativeContinuity: Dr. Bees ends up dead in some fashion at the end of all of his appearances so far.

** Dr. Bees, who, when not fighting crime with bees, is fighting the lack of bees with bees, or the overabundance of bees with more bees, oblivious to how much pain it causes others.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Omnipotron isn't willing at first to indulge Dr. Bees and his weirdness. By the end of the cartoon, he's nervously joining in with the doctor's application of bees to a situation, bashfully accepting praise for it, and wearing the ratty old "Bee Boy" sidekick costume without complaint.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: #CHANGETHEBEES has Dr. Bees being pressured into changing the cover of his comic because it depicts a woman getting stung by bees. What's more, we never see if any women actually took offense to the first cover, so there's no way of knowing if his editor's concern was out of sincerity or if he just wanted to maximise profits. He eventually has to create a cover where a woman is stabbing a bee. The editor approves, ignoring the bee-people who are clearly distressed at this decision. [[spoiler: Dr. Bees later commits suicide over this.]]

* {{Retraux}}: All the Dr. Bees are done in the style of an old-timey shoestring-budget superhero cartoon. There is a grainy, stuttery cel filter over everything, and LimitedAnimation and StockFootage are used liberally.

* SecretIdentity: Parodied with Dr. Bees. His secret identity is ''another superhero''. It's a strange case as what might be his civilian name ("[[PunnyName Dr. Miles Manners]]") is on his office door, but his alternate superhero name ("The Striped Stinger") is on his desk name plate.

* SuperZeroes: Dr. Bees, who's more concerned with fighting the lack of bees than crime.

* ThemeMobile: Dr. Bees has the Bee Mobile, a bee-themed CoolCar.[[spoiler:.. [[SubvertedTrope which immediately drives away]]. The ''actual'' “[[NonIndicativeName Bee Mobile]]” is a shabby mattress being dragged around by an elderly woman.]]
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Every Dr. Bees short ends with Dr. Bees dead. [[spoiler:Until the one where everyone dies ''except'' him, which he admits is worse]].

* [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway What Kind of Lame Power is Bees Anyway?]]: Dr. Bees' only power seems to be(e) that he carries around a lot of bees. And no, he can't control them.
* [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer When All You Have Is A Load Of Bees]], a laaarge influx of BEES ought to put a stop to any given problem approached by Dr. Bees! Yes, that includes problems caused by an over-abundance of bees.

* AntiVillain: The Comforter, who uses his patented Comfortizer to zap physical and emotional comfort to those who need it, such as overworked security guards and grieving widows. Even the police chief admits that he doesn't commit any actual crime. Yet he's still treated like a supervillain.

* BatmanParody: ''Dr. Bees Returns!'' gives Dr. Bees a Bee-Mobile, a Bee Cave, and sidekicks Bee Boy, Dr. Boy, and Boy Boy
