History Series / StudioC

** In real life, during the casts' live stream of the Christmas Special, Natalie accidentally reveals on air that Whitney, who wasn't present after having just delivered her and Stephen's son, has wide feet and needs to get special shoes. She immediately regrets it and apologizes to Whitney whom she assumes is watching. Later in the Q&A at the end of the stream Jeremy gets a tweet from a certain viewer...
-->'''Jeremy''': I have a tweet from a Whitney Call.\\
''(Natalie shrinks back in her seat)''\\
'''Jeremy''': "How much would Natalie liked to get kicked in the bum by my super wide feet?!?"

* DissonantSerenity: "Five Day Weather Forecast" has Matt calmly explaining the weather as the world ends.

* DwindlingParty: Happens in a sketch parody of Series/TheNewlywedGame that features UsefulNotes/HenryVIII (Played by Dalton). Whenever Henry would get an answer wrong, he would switch wives and have his former one beheaded. When the contestants call him out on it, Henry beheads them too, and then the host, and them some of the cast members. Then when everyone in the audience boos him, Henry ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou singlehandedly beheads them all]]'' ''in less than 5 seconds!'' [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted when it was all revealed to be just a sketch written by Dalton; [[ExecutiveMeddling the producer walks in and expresses his disapproval for the sketch,]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids saying that it's too dark for a family-friendly sketch comedy.]] [[BleachedUnderpants And so the whole sketch was revamped,]] [[EverybodyLives and all the cast members (and the audience) are shown to be alive]] [[SuddenMusicalEnding and they all sing about it.]]]]

''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsZXuHKonP9utl5q2hFCkgA Studio C]]'' is a sketch comedy show produced by Creator/BYUtv created by Jared Shores and Matt Meese. One of the major differences from other contemporary comedy shows is that the comedy is intended to be family-safe, focusing on wordplay and absurdist situational comedy with little to no {{fanservice}} or swearing. The original cast members are all former members of the Theatre/BYUDivineComedy troupe which is an on-campus sketch comedy show by BYU students. Most of the sketches in the show's first season were directly adapted from Divine Comedy sketches the cast had written. The title ''Studio C'' refers to the actual studio where the show is filmed.

* ObliviousMockery: In "Easily Offended Friends", the titular friends each talk about the type of person they don't want to be, but every time they find out that someone who happens to fit the description is nearby.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: [[invoked]] Remember ''Franchise/{{Mario}}'''s entry in the video game folder. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHC0nZSoOd4 Atari's Revenge on Nintendo]] shows that it ''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain WAS]]'' [[GoneHorriblyRight indeed made on drugs]].

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: ''Evil Memory Lapse''

* BatDeduction: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcdI20liY50 "Spoiler Alert"]]. (Yes, that was the title of a sketch.) Strangely, the trope has yet to come up in any of the numerous sketches where Jason plays Franchise/{{Batman}}, though this may be because his portrayal is more Dark Knight and less Caped Crusader.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: "Time Travel Heroes Stop Hitler" sees Jeremy teleport to Hitler's office in the ''Führerbunker'' in 1938, only to be joined by [[Film/BackToTheFuture Dr. Emmett Brown]] (Jason), [[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill and Ted]] (Stephen and James, respectively), and [[Literature/HarryPotter Hermione Granger]] (Mallory). [[spoiler: It is Hermione who ends up killing Hitler (played by Whitney, who was five months pregnant with hers and Stephen's first child when this sketch was filmed).]] The [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]] (Matt, of course) also shows up, but only to serve Bill and Ted with a notice of a lawsuit for copyright infringement; [[Franchise/StarTrek Spock]] (Adam) also shows up, but only [[spoiler: after Hitler's already dead]].

* TheFundamentalist: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc9HTPI1vDE Matt's puritan roommate]], who considers women to be the very embodiment of sin, charges only five dollars a month for rent because inflation is "the buttress of Beelzebub", and nearly burns Mallory at the stake because she has red hair. [[EveryoneHasStandards Then again, he apologizes to Jeremy for assuming he was Spanish when he's actually philipino.]]

* GenderBlenderName: Stacey is a guy. Surprisingly, this trope was only exploited once, in "Awkward Christmas Party Crasher."

* OedipusComplex: Accidentally invoked in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZoI-MFnTHE Man on a Ledge]]", where the mother (played by Whitney) tells the titular Man (played by Matt) that she pretended to be the female high school pen pal he ''ended up falling in love with'', much to his embarrassment.
--> '''Mother:''' [''talking through an electric megaphone this entire time''] Remember your pen pal in high school, Kelly?
--> '''Matt:''' [''in a "What about her?" voice''] Yeah?
--> '''Mother:''' That was me.
--> '''Matt:''' '''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]'''
--> '''Mother:''' I wanted to make you feel good about yourself, I mean, you didn't have any friends, like, at all.
--> '''Matt:''' Mom, please don't--
--> '''Mother:''' And then, when you told "Kelly" [''making an air quote with her free left hand''] that you loved her, I knew that I had to stop writing you, 'cause it was pretty weird [''Matt says, "Please", but she keeps on going''], but I talked to a therapist, and he told me that it's perfectly normal for a son to feel that way about his mother, you know?
--> '''Matt:''' Mom, please, ''stop talking!''

* MurphysBullet: In “Shooting Booth,” a ditzy girl manages to hit Matt in the same spot on his hand three times with a BB gun. [[spoiler: Subverted, as it is strongly implied that she did it on purpose to get back at Matt for scamming her son.]]
** Not a bullet, but the basic principle is applied with Scott Sterling. No matter what he does, the soccer ball ''will'' hit him in the face.

* MixAndMatch: Many of the sketches can be described as such.
** "Bollyside" is ''[[Theatre/WestSideStory West Side Story]] type dancing meeting {{UsefulNotes/Bollywood}} dancing.
** "Candy Land Character Conference" is ''{{TabletopGame/CandyLand}}'' meeting the childhood obesity problem in an attempt to make a DolledUpInstallment.
** "Sidious Says So" is [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Sidious]] as a roommate.
** "Going Green" is about what the Amish can do to reduce their carbon footprint.
** "State of Mind" takes EverythingIsBigInTexas and makes it about Rhode Island.
** "The Truth About Running" turns running into a dangerous activity like drugs and alcoholism.
** "The Game of Life: IRL," is the [[TabletopGame/TheGameOfLife classic board game]] meets ''{{Film/Jumanji}}.''
** "The True Story of Lewis and Clark," sees Lewis and Clark, their guide Sacagawea, and two previously unknown members of the expedition, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings a short barefoot fellow bearing a mysterious ring and a hunched over hairless man with a breathing condition,]] on the journey to the Pacific Ocean.
** [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]] and Literature/HarryPotter suffer a sequence of mistaken identities when they meet by chance.
* MomentKiller: Stephen and Whitney hire Matt to intentionally be this in "Third Wheel Friend."
** Mal in "Aww Yeah!" continues to screw up Whitney and Stephen's date.
** Later the "Aww Yeah!"girl returns, ruining Matt and Natalie's moment in the house of mirrors.
** In the "World Has Gone Cold", the Cast is in the middle of their bizarre pre-show warm up, when Jared walks in, interrupting them, causing them all to have to restart from the beginning.

* PowerWalk: While everyone is trying to do this in "Michael Bay's Slow Motion Epic Fail," James keeps messing it up with a SillyWalk

---> '''Student''': Okay, if the (photoshop) degree’s not real, why are you qualified to teach us.
---> '''Teacher''' I’m the person who photoshops the Arby’s sandwich to look edible.
