History Roleplay / TropersTheSeries

* FiveTokenBand: Discounting extraterrestrial characters, nonhuman characters, and characters from established fictional locations from other works of media, alot of the characters originate from many countries (outside of the United States, where a majority of human characters come from) and ethnic groups; such as [[@/TropesForever Tropes]] being Australian, [[@/{{Aveyond}} Aveyond]] being French, [[@/SomeLibre Libre]] being Indonesian, [[@/TheGeekArtist08 Katrina]] being stated to come from the fictional nation of Robloxia, [[@/JTTWlover West]] being an Asian, and [[@/KeironCioran Keiron]] being explicitly dark-skinned.

* ShaggyDogStory: Part of the reason the Tropers went to the titular gameshow in "Bobby Buzzer's Bombastic Bameshow" is to get enough funds to fix the apartment that've been wrecked by Libre in "The Nightmare Before Epiphany". This gets rendered moot when the gameshow's prize ends up as 1 US Dollar and 68 cents, and that Playing revealed that he fixed the apartment whilst the gameshow was running.

** Libre's pet bobbit worm plays this role in "Tropesburg Gets Even Stranger, participating in attacking the incoming [[Series/StrangerThings Demodogs]] (specifically the Alpha).

Started by Tropers/TropesForever on July 3rd/4th[[note]]depending on your time zone[[/note]], 2017, it is ongoing to this day.

* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Incorporated into the gameplay of the first two seasons, with each episode ending with a character stating AnAesop.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: One consistent element of the roleplay during Season 1 and Season 2 up to Episode 9 was a [[AnAesop moral]] of some form at the end of the episode. This is completely dropped from Season 2 Episode 9 onwards.

** Tropers/{{Revaryk}} carries a replica of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda the Master Sword]] the first time she enters.

* GenderFlip: Marcia Shyneet was based on a Male Maverick from ''VideoGame/MegaManX2''

--->'''Knife:''' I got more lightbulbs, by the way! Like you asked. I got...69 bulbs.
--->'''Custard:''' Nice.
--->'''Mad:''' Niiiiice, man.

** Bee retorts with an aversion of this trope, Gray Worker #69, stating that she's the most boring person he's met.

** The Landlord Plant's long-lost son Sonny Sunflora is this, as he was the BigBad of season 3. As of season 4 he's downgraded to a SitcomArchNemesis JerkWithAHeartOfGold, making him a downplayed version.

* GenderFlip: Marcia was based on a Male Maverick from ''VideoGame/MegaManX2''
* GroinAttack: When Tales is playing Call of Cthulhu with Tropers/TacoBadger, he says: "You can only kick people in the nuts so much before it's a SAN check for you."

* HellIsThatNoise: [[Tropers/SomeLibre Libre]] hears the receptionist of "Bobby Buzzer's Bombastic Bameshow" pronouncing the red B button emoji as a "loud buzzing bass noise".

* HeyYouHaymaker: When Bev's dangerous alien "cousin" shows up and threatens to exterminate humankind, [[spoiler:Gangrenous F pokes him in the shoulder, before punching him into a box of kitty litter, killing him.]]

* LaughTrack: Used extensively with the help of the Canned Laughter Machine. It's often [[MediumAwareness commented on]], with the it being destroyed, repaired and even [[invoked]] {{shipp|ing}}ed with other characters. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with canned [[SelfDeprecation groaning]] when Zero claimed to have figured out the plot.

* CallBack: "Tropesburg Gets Even Stranger" has one of Libre's dreams [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14991197750A30186100&page=1699#comment-42467 describing the]] [[Podcast/TheMagnusArchives statement contents]] of someone realising that a young woman they're seeing has become an avatar of the [[https://the-magnus-archives.fandom.com/wiki/The_Vast Vast]] (which also affects meteorological phenomena), referencing [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14991197750A30186100&page=1460#comment-36486 After mistaking Katrina]] for being the same-named hurricane's AnthropomorphicPersonification that has come for revenge.

* GamerChick: Tropers/{{Revaryk}} carries a replica of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda the Master Sword]] the first time she enters.
* GenderFlip: Marcia was based on a Male Maverick from ''VideoGame/MegaManX2'']]

* HeistEpisode: S1:E5, "The Tropers Rob a Bank" is about the tropers getting together to rob a bank to get money to go on a skiing trip. Due to many of them conflicting with each other, such as Tropes and Puma who are not so eager to commit a crime, and Random who leaves the group to get coffee, the heist doesn't go well, and [[spoiler:they come out with barely any money]].
** This concept is revisited again in S7:E5, "The Great Los Santos Heist", this time as an homage to the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' series. There, the Tropers need to pay off their debt after spending much of Tropesberg's taxpayer dollars of the development and marketing of an offical T:TS video game. They end up taking a job offer from [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Michael DeSanta]] to rob a bank and a jewelry store in Los Santos. Despite coming up with a plan, the Tropers don't even bother to execute it properly. Despite the disorganized insanity, the heist somehow ends up being successful anyway.
* HellIsThatNoise: [[Tropers/SomeLibre Libre]] hears the receptionist of "Bobby Buzzer's Bombastic Bameshow" pronouncing the red B button emoji as a "loud buzzing bass noise", or a sound as similar as such.

* InheritedIlliteracyTitle: "Bobby Buzzer's Bombastic Bameshow" has the episode title and the titular gameshow written with the "G" in "Gameshow" written with the [[ShoehornedFirstLetter red B button emoji]].
* LaughTrack: Used extensively. It's often [[MediumAwareness commented on]], with the Canned Laughter Machine being destroyed, repaired and even [[invoked]] {{shipp|ing}}ed with other characters. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with canned [[SelfDeprecation groaning]] when Zero claimed to have figured out the plot.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In "Back Home Again," Puma talks to a waiter modelled after Creator/FrankNelson. He's intended to look like Nelson and does some of his signature jokes, including the "Ee-yeees?" and AskAStupidQuestion.
* NoodleIncident: Zero played a prank on a high school buddy using [[NoodleImplements a refrigerator, a banana, and the French government]].

* SpecialGuest: S7E8, "A Very Special Guest", revolves around the tropers preparing for the arrival of special guest Robert Downey Jr.

* ConMan: TacoBadger, who, as opposed to working for money, cheats Bev, Movie, and a Newspaper company out of their money at one point or another.

** Whilst Libre's debut post in "The Nightmare Before Epiphany" isn't action packed, his entry into Tropesburg involves him ''wrecking a large portion of the apartment'' by falling from the sky.

* EitherOrTitle: A couple of episodes are like this. "The Bowling Tournament" has the alternate title "The Case of the Cunning Conman", "Look we never use episode titles properly anyway, it doesn't matter" has the alternate title "The Day The Lights Went Out", "Lovey-Dovey Fluff for The Viewers" has "More Pokemon Card Fun Because What The Heck", "Wilde Zeiten in Zürich" has its English title, "Wild Times in Zürich", and "The Magic Tool Bus" has the alternate title "Journey to the World Within".

* CosmicRetcon: [[StatusQuoIsGod The Status Quo]] has the ability to use these to enforce his namesake concept. Then, [[Disney/{{Moana}} Tamatoa]] gets control of his powers and just uses them to wreak havoc.

--> '''Ford''': These are actually pretty alright. What's in these anyway?
