By TRS decision Evil Is Sexy is now a disambiguation page. Moving entries to appropriate tropes when possible.


* BettyAndVeronica: In the private eye simulation, Lister lampshades how he's supposed to arrest the FemmeFatale and end up with the nice girl. Unfortunately, he thinks EvilIsSexy.
* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Taken one step further: The Cat shoots two incoming bullets while they're in mid flight, although the crew are in a computer simulation at the time. (Aside: it turns out that bullets are an absolute nightmare to film, requiring a great many takes to get them to fall from just outside camera and stay in the field of view.)

* SimulatedFantasyPostApocalypticReality: Lister starts obsessively playing VR games in an effort to cope with life aboard Starbug during their search for the currently AWOL Red Dwarf... which becomes a bit of a problem when they're supposed to be in SilentRunningMode to avoid Simulants and Lister is busy playing a Film Noire gumshoe game so he can shag the game's FemmeFatale. However, Lister's stockpile of games come in handy when Kryten has to battle the Armageddon Virus in a Western-themed MentalWorld, allowing Lister and the others to use characters from the game ''Streets Of Laredo'' in order to help him.

* GettingSickDeliberately: Kryten gives himself the Armageddon virus (which has locked Starbug on a collision course with a lava moon) so that he can analyze it and provide an antidote to it. Unfortunately, he has trouble dealing with it, necessitating the rest of the crew to plug themselves into the AR machines and go into his dreams to help him.

* VirtualRealityWarper: The Armageddon Virus takes the form of a deadly quartet of gunslingers known as the Apocalypse Boys, all of whom are empowered far beyond the level of Kryten's lone Sheriff. In an attempt to help, the rest of Dwarfers enter in the form of characters imported from a Western VR game - only for the Apocalypse Boys to cheat by spreading their virus to the VR console. As a result, Lister, Rimmer and the Cat all lose their characters' special skills right before the climactic battle begins, and find themselves sealed in the game for good measure.
