* BigBad: The Shrek monster in the basement.
* CaptainObvious:
--> '''Shrek-Obsessed Guy:''' The basement is right here, which Shrek is in.
* CloudCuckoolander: The Shrek-obsessed guy is generally regarded as this.
--> '''Shrek-Obsessed Guy:''' Y'know, Shrek truly is love, Shrek truly is life.
--> '''Interviewer:''' Ooookay -- Jesus Christ -- um...
* CoolButInefficient: The exterminator's method of finding the Shrek monster through the phone flash after taking a picture. Just how long this takes is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the AwkwardSilence after trying it out.
* CreepyBasement: The Shrek-obsessed guy's basement is shrouded in shadows and inhabited by a murderous Shrek monster.
* DoubleTap: After the Shrek-obsessed guy [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext throws Shrek's baby at him]], the exterminator walks over and finishes Shrek off with a shot to the head.
* FireForgedFriends: Attempted by the Shrek-obsessed guy, but it's quickly shut down by the exterminator.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Shrek has his own baby thrown at him.
* JumpScare: Shrek's reveal is played like a jumpscare.
* KilledMidSentence: More accurately, killed mid-word.

* ProlongedPrologue: The opening interview makes up nearly 1/3 of the sketch. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], though, because the video itself is only around 4 minutes long.
* RuleOfCool: Multiple explosions go off after Shrek is hit with a baby, but realistically, there was no cause for them.
* ShoutOut: The story obviously revolves around Franchise/{{Shrek}}. Some iconic lines are quoted:
--> '''Shrek-Obsessed Guy:''' The Shrek obsession was like an onion. It had layers!
** Additionally, some sequences are shot in a very stylized way that calls back Creator/EdgarWright.
* TitleDrop:
--> '''Shrek-Obsessed Guy:''' We should call it... the Shrekbusters!
* TheVoice: The interviewer from the beginning is never seen.
