History WebVideo / EASScenarios

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: Though scenarios for other countries exist (i.e., the United Kingdom, Australia, etc.), they occasionally follow the United States' EAS standards, such as the use of alert tones (which the UK's emergency alerts don't have).

* ColonyDrop: [[https://youtube.com/channel/UCOgNR0rlutcXiBzjfQ4eQsA KnucklesHedgehog2010]]’s ''[[https://youtu.be/hbeobQY_JIM The Wrath of Jupiter]]'' has Jupiter itself inflict this on the Earth by changing its orbit and moving towards the sun in a similar scenario to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_tack_hypothesis Grand tack hypothesis]]. The colony drop comes courtesy of a hail of some of the Asteroid Belt’s largest objects. Humanity manages to survive, but many millions die, and no one knows why Jupiter’s orbit happened to move, which kickstarted the disaster.

* DrivenToSuicide: If the threat in a scenario gets too severe, the EAS text may urge viewers to take this measure. Though depending on the threat, doing this may be more of a MercyKill…

* AtomicHate: Probably the most popular narrative for scenarios after zombie plagues.

* ParanoiaFuel: Scenarios such as "Break In" or "Error" lean HARD into this trope, introducing unknown creatures that take over TV broadcasts and break into peoples homes to take them away or outright kill them.

** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUwXsYWZDlg Don't Look Up]]'' (not to be confused with the ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/DontLookUp live action film]]''), if you stare at the supernova that fills the sky you will never be able to move again, and worse yet, you will be completely conscious of what is happening but be unable to do anything about it until you eventually drop dead.

Scenarios can be found on [[https://www.youtube.com/ YouTube.]]

* ''WebOriginal/TheInnocent''

!!Examples:

* DownerEnding:
** This is usually done when the threat(s) end up killing off humanity directly or indirectly, with worldwide damage or destruction.

* TheFaceless: If a character is used, expect to not see what they may look like.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] if a creator uses live action scenes.

* HumansAreWarriors: [[https://youtu.be/5EiG6ihuMI0 The Asteroid]] [[spoiler: has this occur near the end.]]

* SpidersAreScary:
** The main focus of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWyVHBYxNms Spider Earth]]''.
* StylisticSuck:
** Some scenarios, as things get worse, will have graphics worsen (or disappear entirely to audio-only) to match the severity of the situation affecting broadcast ability/quality.

* DecadeThemedFilter: Mainly in the TurnOfTheMillenium, as most televisions still possessed some grain, though scenarios featuring the EBS [[note]] (Emergency Broadcast System) [[/note]] will possess more film grain.

* ColdSnap: The plot of ''[[https://youtu.be/DdUxVYSOZNk Absolute Zero]]''.

** ''[[https://youtu.be/VWqWAi_H_9o Fictionalized BBC Special Report of NATO-Russia conflict]]'' is a 2016 professionally produced scenario made for a disaster decision making exercise. It's so believable that it became popularized as disinformation during the 2022 Russian war on Ukraine, and is bait for the ConspiracyTheorist (along with the occasional Kremlin bot) in the comments.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Several "comedic" scenarios exist, like the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V263ad2e2uk Bruh Moment warning]].

Emergency Alert System Scenarios [[note]] (usually shortened to EAS Scenarios, but are also referred as EAS Mocks and EAS Stories.) [[/note]] are a collection of videos dedicated to telling fictional stories regarding the Emergency Alert System, the United States' [[EmergencyBroadcast national warning system.]] These scenarios usually deal with [[NightmareFuel horror related situations]], whether made [[RealismInducedHorror realistically,]] [[SurrealHorror made with surreal situations or problems,]] or [[NothingIsScarier not having the threat(s) visible or described.]] They are a subtrope of the DisasterMovie, although the DisasterMovie is usually a much more high-budget production, whereas the EAS scenario is often a single-creator or small group of creators shoestring budget independent production.
