* AnthropomorphicFood: Many contestants introduced in BFDIA onwards are based on food.[[note]]Cake, Donut, Eggy, Fries, Gelatin, Lollipop and Taco[[/note]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''BFDIA'' episode 5c: "No More Snow!" is chock full of unusually dark deaths. [[spoiler: First, Ruby accidentally kills Bubble by popping her, then Ice Cube and Match die when she presses the wrong button on Evil Leafy, and then Pencil gets vaporized when Ruby presses another wrong button. It seems like they will be brought back, but the Hand Powered Recovery Center was inside of Evil Leafy, so they're dead forever. Ruby then dies of sadness. W.O.A.H Bunch then falls off a cliff with a spiky bottom, so they press Spongy on the spikes. Everyone gets across, but not Needle. This leads to them killing her with fire, resulting in a pretty scary scene. To make matters worse, Fries, Rocky, Puffball, Golfball, Gelatin, Firey, and Tennis Ball had already died, leaving only 7 people left. They thankfully come back, but it's still dark]].

* DecoyProtagonist: In the intro of ''BFDIA'', [[spoiler:Leafy is the center of attention as she runs away from a mob of former contestants. She uses her map to escape to Yoyleland, and Pin rips the map to trap her there.]]
* DeusExMachina: In ''BFDIA'' episode 5e, W.O.A.H. Bunch has only walked three miles and is about to lose. [[spoiler:However, Coiny manages to throw a stick 2,760 miles and hits a button on the [=FreeSmart=] [=SuperVan=], which picks up Needle. The rest of the team clings onto her, and they make it to Yoyleland, climb the mountain, and get second place.]]

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Firey's elimination in BFDIA 8 causes his speaker box to become a crying mess, to the point where the contestants had to remove the knife from Puffball Speaker Box so she could host.]]

* KilledOffForReal: Implied for several characters. ''BFDIA'' does not reintroduce the contestants killed in the first season's finale, implying this as their fate. [[spoiler:As of ''WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI'', all of the contestants have been brought back to life.]]

* {{Retcon}} and SequelReset: {{Implied|Trope}}. The beginning of BFDIA seems to undo [[spoiler: the last part about Firey saving Leafy, and pretends that the rest of the cast still hates her. [[WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI BFB 22]] later explains why.]]

* TitleDrop: Pretty much every episode in season 2 has one with the title of the episode (except for "[[OddNameOut Insectophobe's Nightmare 3]]").

* TooDumbToLive: Basically Team No-Name in "Well Rested." They choose to enter a hotel called "Evil Here Hotel" (the "Evil" part upside down), nobody notices any of the red leaf-shaped designs that look similar to Evil Leafy, and they decide to stare prolongingly at the mirror at the end of the hallway (which causes Evil Leafy to appear). Not only that, but they choose to hide in the rooms instead of running out of the hotel.
* TrueCompanions: Teams in BFDI are often treated as, just that, teams, with theirs members acting like VitriolicBestBuds at ''best''. However, come BFDIA 5a, and while W.O.A.H. Bunch attempted to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope prior, we get a natural version of this trope in the form of [=FreeSmart=]. TheAlliance from prior had been a little bit on the bureaucratic up until now, but to have a team of every alliance member, real member or substitute, as a RagtagBunchOfMisfits who enjoy their time with each other is just touching. Each members' roles don't hurt, either. Firey and Gelatin joining the team, however, dampens it slightly as they're just here to take Ruby's Yoylite and have no loyalty or connection with any member of [=FreeSmart=] besides Book disliking Firey.

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: Puffball Speaker Box returns in BFDIA 8 after Firey Speaker Box became unable to host due to his sadness from his owner's elimination.]]

* DeathIsCheap: [[ZigZaggedTrope zig-zagged]]; the recovery centers are destroyed, so many characters who died last season cannot come back. Then Teardrop wins a Hand-Powered Recovery Center, leading to this trope happening again. However, it is then subverted again as the next contest is to go to Yoyleland, which is 2,763 miles away from the main grasslands area and the HPRC, meaning the deaths in episode 5a and 5c are not recovered. However, in 5c, Firey Speaker Box supplies the contestants with a Hand-Powered Hand-Powered Recovery Center Creator, and after many days of cranking a new HPRC is produced, which the contestants revive each other with and the [=FreeSmarters=] steal.

* CutShort: After BFDIA was on hiatus for three years, some "deleted scenes" from the nonexistent sixth episode were released before the series was rebooted with IDFB, the third season. IDFB was also cut short with just a single episode before another year-long hiatus and reboot with BFB.

* DiabolusExMachina: In BFDI 18 Pencil loses for getting over a hundred points because of budget cuts. In BFDI 20 Firey's spaceship disappears due to budget cuts. Conversely, Team No-Name [[spoiler:loses the challenge when Puffball lets her team get eaten by a giant fish because of her greed for prizes.]] In BFB 25 Leafy and Woody are up for elimination because their totems were given to them by Purple Face.

* StockAudioClip: Ice Cube and Needle speak ''entirely'' in recycled lines. Needle stopped doing so in BFDIA 5a, and Ice Cube got a new line in the same episode. But Ice Cube reverted back to recycled lines after that (until BFB 1).

* TrueCompanions: Teams in BFDI are often treated as, just that, teams, with theirs members acting like VitriolicBestBuds at ''best''. However, come BFDIA 5a, and while W.O.A.H. Bunch attempted to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope prior, we get a natural version of this trope in the form of [=FreeSmart=]. TheAlliance from prior had been a little bit on the bureaucratic up until now, but to have a team of every alliance member, real member or substitute, as a RagtagBunchOfMisfits who enjoy their time with each other is just touching. Each members' roles don't hurt, either.

''BFDIA'' began on June 29, 2012, but suffered serious ScheduleSlip, and has had no new episodes since Episode 5e in August 2013, despite Jacknjellify repeatedly stating it will come back. It finally did on September 1st, 2016... as a "third season", ''WebAnimation/{{IDFB}}'', which was also CutShort after the first episode.

* DeathIsCheap: [[ZigZaggedTrope zig-zagged]]; the recovery centers are destroyed, so many characters who died last season cannot come back. Then Teardrop wins a Hand-Powered Recovery Center, leading to this trope happening again.

** In BFB 8, Saw is the one answering questions for BLEH and she won't stop screaming "EIGHT!", but then one of the questions is "What is the past tense of 'eat'?". The answer is of course "ate", which sounds like "eight", so BLEH is safe.
** In BFB 17, the Have Cots are about to win when they realize they forgot Teardrop, so X goes flying into the Have Nots, giving them the win.
** In BFB 23, Teardrop kills Gelatin and Four happens to hear Gelatin screaming to death and recovers him, and the bars happen to be made of cardboard so the Have Cots win.

* JumpScare:
** In episode two of season two. You ''know'' [[spoiler:Evil Leafy's going to magically jump across the cliff and appear in front of the others]] and it will ''still'' make you jump.
** PlayedForLaughs in BFB 13. Eraser and Fries are waiting for the next contest because Four and X have a blank look on their faces, something they apparently do before an announcement. [[spoiler:Then X suddenly drills through the ground, and the two have shocked expressions.]]

** Also applies to the Blocky/Eraser/Pen trio from Season 1 and pre-split 4. Pen is the nice, Blocky is the mean, and Eraser is the in-between.
** For the Newbie Alliance, Gelatin is nice, Lollipop is mean and Teardrop is in-between.

* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: This is emphasized when two characters fall from a great height; one is caught just above the ground and saved while the other hits the ground and dies.
** In ''BFDIA'' episode 4, a frozen Firey and Tennis Ball are shaken off the Eiffel Tower. Match catches Firey just before he hits the ground, while Tennis Ball shatters as he hits the ground.
** In ''IDFB'' episode 1, Pencil falls off the Yoyle Needy. Book and Ice Cube run down to catch her, while Ruby jumps down the flight of stairs. Book and Ice Cube catch Pencil just before she reaches the ground, while Ruby shatters on impact.

** In BFB 18 Flower's merch is used as this for the Have Cots to disguise as Flower and it surprisingly works.

* {{Retcon}} and SequelReset: {{Implied|Trope}}. The beginning of BFDIA seems to undo [[spoiler: the last part about Firey saving Leafy, and pretends that the rest of the cast still hates her. BFB 22 later explains why.]]

* TitleDrop: Pretty much every episode in season 2 has one with the title of the episode (except for "[[OddNameOut Insectophobe's Nightmare 3]]"). BFB episodes 4, 17, 20, 22, 23 and TPOT 1 also fall under this.
