* OhCrap: PS3's reaction when he realizes that aVo is back on Spacemonkey.

** This is also one of their reasons for griefing--to punish admins on servers that abuse their power.

** Now there's a hurricane about to grief my house, so hopefully the video finishes uploading before this ironic twisting storm of fate. If my house gets damaged by a storm surge, I will probably die from an irony overload.

** In the earlier episodes, Storm and Krysk would frequently put fences under half-blocks (due to a glitch at the time, fences under a half-block would prevent movement up the stairs). Krysk called it their "signature."
* ClusterFBomb: Although Storm is generally pretty cool and levelheaded, he has a pretty foul mouth.

** Played straight when the team comes back to Spacemonkey after getting banned the first time.

* FreudWasRight: Constructing phallic structures isn't amiss for aVo. Also referred to as "Krysk monuments."

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/teamavolition?feature=watch Team Avolition]] (often stylized as aVo) is a ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' griefing team that popularized putting videos of griefing on Website/YouTube. They have spread to other games in recent years, such as VideoGame/DayZ and VideoGame/{{Rust}}. Team Avolition's endeavors are highly controversial, with detractors labeling the team as a bane on gaming in general, or fans that claim their actions are hilarious. [[ForTheEvulz The group itself just enjoys what they do.]]

* RefugeInAudacity: Oh yes. At one point, they destroy a building, bury the remains, tell an admin they're planting trees, and have the admin ''help'' them. Look below at Unwitting Pawn to see why this qualifies.

* TheDragon: Krysk to Storm_Surge. Alternatively, he's TheLancer, [[VillainProtagonist depending on the point of view.]]

** Dell and another user on Spacemonkey recite [BlackOps Reznov's Vorkuta plot.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: No modded clients, relatively primitive griefing methods (pouring lava down Dell's house is juvenile compared to some of their escapades later on), and a general lack of coordination that they became infamous for later on (although the Cobblecloud incident was fairly thought-out, if somewhat unsuccessful). Arguably justified, as their griefing methods had to adapt to the constantly evolving countermeasures against griefing itself.

** Recently, they also tried to troll a pedophile.

** Storm_Surge [[LampshadeHanging calls out the trope name]] before demolishing a tunnel on a server where tunnels were not allowed.

* XRayVision: Jade vision, named after the member who made it (also known as Ransure).

** This is also one of their reasons for Griefing; to punish admins on servers that abuse their power.

* AffablyEvil: Avo could qualify as this, especially Storm Surge. He's actually a very calm, intelligent, and entertaining individual... who nevertheless destroys people's buildings and structures. It helps that he's actually become friends with some of the people he's griefed (I.E. the people of Spacemonkey and Doridian).

** The true damage to the servers don't come from Avo themselves, but rather from all of their fans that see the videos and come onto the servers after watching the videos.
** This may be part of why Team Avo doesn't usually put the IP of the servers they grief in their videos.

* AntiVillain: Although the entire point of their videos is to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking burn stuff, kill people, and aggravate the other players]], they do target admins who have an overinflated ego or have otherwise made themselves targets, as with [=AllNaturalX=] and Rice-Think. Not only that, they're now friends with two targets of their griefing, Spacemonkey and Doridian. In addition, they will also leave you alone if you say 'Team Avo deserves [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Ice Cream]]', which apparently translates to 'I/we appreciate the effort you put into this'. Inversely, if you say they '''don't''' deserve ice cream, you are screwed.

* ButtMonkey: Krysk is occasionally one, especially to Ransure/Jade (in the earlier episodes) and Storm.
* CallingCard: They will change many signs to let you know Team Avolition was there. They also make 'swastistars' -- a swastika [[CrossesTheLineTwice inside a Star of David.]]

* DefeatMeansFriendship: They have ended up becoming friends with a few of the people they griefed early on.

* {{Flight}}: The Reliant client allows them to fly around.

* XRayVision: Jade vision, named after the member who made it.

* ButtMonkey: Krysk is occasionally one, especially to Ransure/Jade and Storm_Surge.
