History WebVideo / SMPLive

* UnderappreciatedWomensWork: Poor Angel does not get the thanks she deserves for dealing with the shenanigans of the boys on the server. Best showcased when she serves as Poke's lawyer for a FrivolousLawsuit, and he calls her a "terrible lawyer" despite giving her basically no case to work with, and her trying her best to at least give him some defense, only for him to self-incriminate.

* AudienceParticipation: Viewers can donate to streamers and tell them a player they want them to kill or prank.

* BettingMinigame: The Wacky Wheel at spawn, built by Svyoshi. Possible outcomes include an announcement showing to the whole server saying you're gay, and being forced to watch an entire Ninja VOD, among others. Since most streamers would make spinning the wheel a donation incentive, there's an added element of AudienceParticipation.

* ClipShow: Pokay has several videos aptly titled "The Clip Show".

* TheCon: Schlattcoin, which Schlatt initially sets up to get diamonds out of anyone dumb enough to fall for his very obvious scheme.

** James manages to put himself out when on fire in the Nether by quickly crafting a cauldron.
** Connor frees himself from a glitched boat by shooting it with his bow after chat suggests it. His reaction is "THAT ACTUALLY WORKED?".
* CrossReferencedTitles: Different highlight videos from different perspectives tend to do this frequently:

* {{Cult}}: The server has several -- Jadarko's Salmonism, [=ShadowApples=]'s Bread cult, and [[spoiler:Ted Nivison's Void cult]].

* DeathOfAChild: The younger members of the server die just as much as the adults do.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Nick's punishment for building ugly cobblestone buildings at Spawn is having to be tormented and forced to work for Schlatt & Co., and later being forced to fight Altrive to the death in the arena.
* DistinctionWithoutADifference:

* DrinkingGame: As outlined by Cooper in [[https://youtu.be/QZfpYr6qhnY?si=BRUd1eqAxxDIfVXu "Drinking and Killing CaptainSparklez"]]...

* DualWielding: In one video, Michael uses both a diamond and iron sword at the same time. This terrifies Schlatt and Connor.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Golden apples and potions weren't made illegal until April at the absolute earliest, and as a result it can be a bit odd to see how casually they're treated before then.

* ElectionDayEpisode: [[spoiler:Schlatt's mayoral campaign, to which several server members object.]]
* EnemyMine: Both Travis and Cooper have a strained at best, negative at worst relationship with Carson, and this can even be seen while they are building the ACC base, with Cooper nearly ''killing'' Carson out of annoyance. Despite this, they work together out of a common disgust for the Salmon cult.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: A survival multiplayer server that's livestreamed.

** In the [[Recap/SMPLiveReunion [=SMPLive=] Reunion]], there's also Conar Coin.

* FrameUp: Carson tries to frame Billy for having potions by throwing them at him.

* GagPenis: Sneeg pranks Schlatt by leading him to unknowingly build an obsidian penis outside his base.

** Potions are also treated like drugs for the same general reason.

* LawmanBaton: Or rather, [[InsistentTerminology "enforcement sticks"]].

* RacingMinigame: There is a boat racing track in Spawn City.

* TheSacredDarkness: The [[spoiler:Void cult falls into this, as they worship the dark, endless nothingness of the Void]].

** Cooper's Slime and Cooper's Concrete.

* TalentContest: The [=SMPLive=] Talent Show, as the name implies.
* TheTeaser: Schlatt's videos typically start with a clip before his intro.

* ThatCameOutWrong: This exchange.

* {{Tsundere}}: PlayedForLaughs in Connor's video of the [[https://youtu.be/-HUMNdzbRnc?si=-rzdGHggUbOWcZ2Z Assassin Event]]:

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Travis accidentally kills Gold's pet bird, Rye, with his axe]].

* {{Blackmail}}: Schlatt and Connor threaten to tell people that [[spoiler:Wilbur has golden apples (which are illegal on the server) if he doesn't buy their cryptocurrency]].
* BlackMarket: After the outlawing of potions, Cooper has the idea to create an underground illegal drug ring on the server. [[HypocriticalHumor Hilariously]], this is in spite of the fact that said law was instilled during his time in the server cop role just ''a week earlier''.

* CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: Schlatt & Co.'s ordinary looking coffee shop is a front for an illegal drug operation.

* CurbStompBattle: In "INSANE MINECRAFT 1v5", Sneeg vs. Joko, Asaii, Mason, Beef and Gold. [[spoiler:Sneeg takes them all out easily.]]

* DraggedIntoDrag: Wilbur is the victim of this during the Recap/SMPLiveReunion when Connor has the idea to make him work as the "waitress" at Schlatt & Co.'s new "Connor Esports Bar and Grill (With Women)". It ends badly.
--> '''Wilbur:''' I WAS A WOMAN FOR YOU, CONNOR!!

* DrivenToSuicide: PlayedForLaughs when Connor defeats [=AntVenom=] in the arena. He announces that he can't live with himself and [[AMoltenDateWithDeath jumps into a pit of lava]].

* HamAndDeadpanDuo:
** Schlatt and Connor form one, with Schlatt as the LargeHam and Connor his SarcasticDevotee who frequently replies to Schlatt's dramatic comments with deadpan remarks.
** Poke and James form another one with Poke as the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} flavor of ham and James as the DeadpanSnarker who loves to annoy him.

* NotHelpingYourCase: Mikey decides to counter-sue Poke for "racism" towards pigeons, which Poke responds to by talking about how much he hates pigeons.

* TotallyNotACriminalFront: Schlatt labels his "hidden" chest he uses to store his profits from Schlattcoin... his "scam chest".

* LostPetGrievance: Gold is very upset when [[spoiler:Travis [[AccidentalMurder accidentally kills]] his bird Rye]], even building a memorial for her.

* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Cooper has a special, higher hit price on Schlatt specifically because he finds Schlatt to be too easy (and thus unsatisfying) to kill.

* WhiteCollarCrime: Schlatt & Co. aren't afraid to stoop to shady business practices. After all, their entire company is founded on a cryptocurrency exit scam.

** Schlatt and Connor:
*** Schlatt goes on a long ramble about how the two should "live off the land" together and build a farm, which Connor points out is "a little gay", causing Schlatt to reply with:
----> '''Schlatt:''' Connor, I am a homosexual.
*** Connor once accidentally implies the two are married when talking to [=AntVenom=], which he quickly tries to correct by saying he meant "in the company".

** In [[https://youtu.be/L_Kj4PHD1HE?si=zAnmPbnZ4v6JnW_S "We made a building"]], Sneeg tells Schlatt that his chat wants them to have sex. His main concern about this is that he doesn't know "if Connor would be jealous".

* CrazyEnoughToWork: James manages to put himself out when on fire in the Nether by quickly crafting a cauldron.

* ReferenceOverdosed: Due to being a ''Minecraft'' server -- many players have skins of existing fictional characters, many builds are based on other works, and of course, many conversional references will be dropped.

* SurrealHumor: A major element of the series, with bits like "æ", "Bean Yoda", conflicts over banning Obama from ''Minecraft'' restaurants, Pokay's "sea pickle" RunningGag...

* CharactersMostHatedSong: Schlatt has a vehement hatred of the in-game music disc Stal that becomes a full-out case of EnmityWithAnObject as just seeing the disc makes him angry. However, ''playing'' the disc almost always ends in Schlatt reacting with violence or by getting as loud as he possibly can... [[SensoryAbuse which is extremely, given his low-quality and distorted "funny mic"]].

* LostPetGrievance: Gold is very upset when [[spoiler:Travis [[AccidentalMurder accidentally kills]] his bird Rye]], even building a memorial for it.
