* AbortedArc: Some story elements seem to vanish, never to be explained again. Examples include Smoke's sudden change from a gruff [[TheStoner stoner]] to a [[TheFool dopey tag-along]], Cage's hinted rivalry with Kano, Liu Kang and Smoke's quest to defeat Shang Tsung, and [[TheUnseen Sonya]]'s rescue.

The basic premise is that Shang Tsung has marketed a soul-stealing shampoo, and it's up to Earth's heroes to stop him. Trouble is, they're all pretty much idiots. It's chock full of references, mythology gags and in-jokes to the game series, so fans of the games may find a lot of humour in it.

As of February 25th, 2010, the series seems to be on hiatus, with the last episode being a holiday special. However, Sub-Zero does occasionally reappear in Phelous' reviews.

!This series provides examples of:

* AprilFoolsDay: [[http://www.phelous.com/node/19 Here.]] Interestingly enough, it references the events of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'' at the beginning.
* AbortedArc: Some story elements seem to vanish, never to be explained again. Examples include Smoke's sudden change from a gruff [[TheStoner stoner]] to a [[TheFool dopey tag-along]], Cage's hinted rivalry with Kano, Liu Kang and Smoke's quest to defeat Shang Tsung, and [[TheUnseen Sonya]]'s rescue.
* BadBadActing: Johnny Cage in episode 1. His actor even commented that he was trying to hold back his laughter during those scenes. He got better in later episodes, though.
* BaldOfEvil: Baraka
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Raiden's piano, ''it is for lesser Gods only!'' Liu Kang [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown found this out the hard way.]]
* BigBad: Shao Kahn. [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready You were expecting the Addams family?]]
* BlatantLies: This line from Raiden.
---> '''Raiden''': ''*creates a portal using his powers despite him saying his powers don't work in Outworld*'' That...doesn't count as "powers".
* TheBusCameBack: Johnny Cage's director in Episode 8, who returns to taunt Cage only to be hurled off of the hill by him.
* ButtMonkey: Liu Kang. Everyone seems to take a long hard dump on the poor guy in the story.
** Smoke and Sektor to a lesser extent.
* CallBack: In Episode 2, when Shang Tsung disguised himself as Raiden, his teleports were orange. Raiden lampshades this in Episode 3, and proceeds [[TeleportSpam to show them what colour his teleports really are]].
--->'''Raiden:''' You two ''retards!'' It was Shang Tsung! Didn't you see him teleport ORANGE?! Look, BLUE. *teleports* BLUE. *teleports* BLUUUUUUE!! *teleports*
* CanadaEh: They frequently travel to ''Oat''world, among other examples.
* CatchPhrase: A few.
** '''Rayden''': Let me check the '''PI-LOT.''' and ''Noooooooooooooooooooope.''
** '''Cage:''' Damn it, I'm Johnny Cage!
** '''Shang Tsung:''' I've got a NEW plan!
** '''Smoke:''' SHUT UP.
* CoolHat: Raiden. He gets an even bigger one in the Holiday special.
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: Sindel. She dies in the 3rd Holiday Special, and is turned into a sugar cookie and eaten by Santa in the 4th.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Almost everybody at some point, but Sub-Zero can take this to new heights. {{Phelous}} being the actor behind the mask doesn't hurt, either.
* FatBastard: Shao Kahn. [[spoiler: Santa Claus when he's evil.]]
* FlatWhat: Delivered whenever a character says something completely stupid or doesn't make a lick of sense.
* GroinAttack: Johnny Cage delivers one to his director when he tells him [[TheHeroDies the name of the movie.]]
* GrumpyBear: Sub-Zero.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Smoke, due to a spell. He seems to have settled back on the good side, though. [[spoiler: Santa as well. Sugar seems to play a part in this.]]
* IAmLegion: Ermac. Played for laughs in the 2nd Holiday special when his souls get each other presents.
* {{Keet}}: Kano.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Batman]] in the MK vs DC special.
* LargeHam: Shang Tsung, AND HOW.
--->'''Shang Tsung:''' '''[[BerserkButton Just ME]]?''' I'm the stealer of souls! I'm the ''sorceror of the dark arts!''
* LethalChef: Baraka, [[BladeBelowTheShoulder quite]] [[ImAHumanitarian literally.]]
* NiceHat: Kung Lao, but after he gets it back from the dry cleaners.
* NotAMorningPerson: Sub-Zero. [[BerserkButton Don't ruin his breakfast.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Sub-Zero and Johnny Cage. They've apparently been around since the 60's.
* PaperThinDisguise: Shang Tsung can pull off perfect morphs, but his LargeHam tendencies can make him come off as ObviouslyEvil. The heroes don't catch on.
* PungeonMaster: Kung Lao.
--->'''Kung Lao''': ''(sees Kitana throw a fan at Liu)'' Fan Throw. Get it? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
* ShoutOut: The Time Travel episode has Rayden and Sub-Zero drawn in the style of ''Eskimo Bob'', followed by an homage to ''Bad Dudez'', and then the ending to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Liu Kang. He sees himself as the "Mortal Fighting Champion", but is comically inept.
* TheStoner: Smoke.
* TakeThat: The MK vs DC video seems to be one to the concept of the game itself.
--->'''Sub-Zero:''''' (referring to playground)'' Well, Smoke. I thought this was the most appropriate spot to fight Batman at."
--->'''Smoke:''' Why's that?
--->'''Sub-Zero:''' Because. This whole fight is ridiculous.
** And this:
--->'''Smoke:''' MK vs. DC? I don't know what's more stupider. The fact that we're actually fighting them, or that the fact is they think they can beat us!
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sub-Zero and ice-cream. Reptile uses it as a trap in Episode 3.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Much to Cage's [[VomitDiscretionShot dismay]], the actor playing Vega is a ''guy.''
* VitriolicBestBuds[=/=]ThoseTwoGuys: Sub-Zero and Johnny Cage.
* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: Fight scenes tend to look pretty goofy. In-universe, Raiden lampshades this with Liu Kang.
--->'''Raiden''': I see your housekeeping is as good as your fighting.
--->'''Liu Kang''': ''Shut up!''
