* HopeSpot: In the [[ImagineSpot ad that Jon thinks of for the [=Vat19=] sticker]] during the video about the branded sticker, Jamie and Joey are going rock-climbing when Jamie loses his grip and almost falls off the mountain, just narrowly hanging on. When Joey and Jamie are unable to reach each other’s hands, Joey suggests to grab the sticker even though Jamie says it will not hold. Jamie grabs it anyway and he seems to be holding on for a few seconds... [[RealityEnsues until the sticker snaps in half, causing Jamie to fall to his death]].

* {{Ninja}}: While [=Vat19=] does have several ninja-related products and videos involving them , a very notable example is the video for the Ninja Mug where Jamie fights off an army of ninjas while trying to do the voiceover for the commercial, ''somehow'' acquiring ''an entire tank'' at one point near the end to fight them off.

* StuntDouble: In the video for the [=FreeKey=], fellow [=YouTuber=] Kyle EPIC Mendoza served as a parkour stunt double for Joey in the chase scene.

--> '''Chet Huskins''': It looks real enough to make you wonder if we’ve been secretly growing genetic gummy human hybrid organs in a lab for the past three years, right?

* BreakoutCharacter: Dan Italy and Tony Rigatoni, two mafia gangsters that are part of the many recurring characters in [=Vat19=]’s ads eventually stood out and became the main antagonists of [=Vat19=]’s own movie.

[[http://www.vat19.com/ Vat19.com]] is an online shopping website that was launched in 2001.

[=Vat19=] began as a website to sell their own line of [=DVDs=], the most famous of which being their ambient DVD series. In 2005, they put out their first non-DVD product: The fireplace-scented candle. It went on to become a hit with customers and encouraged them to seek out more "curiously awesome products" for them to promote and sell. They are also known for their witty and creative advertisements they make to sell their products, the first of which being their ad for the Grillput Portable BBQ. Aside from strict advertisements, they're also known for doing challenges and experiments with their products, many of which [[SerialEscalation tend to be pushing it a little.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Their early videos weren't as comedic as their newer ones.

** Several older ads feature the full chicken costume as a character; most notably the Flicking Chicken ad where it appears after a man named Tom angrily rages at one of the rubber chickens used in the game, telling it that it owes him a "delicious 9-piece McNugget meal", after which the chicken suit angrily scolds and curses at him.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: The fictional Gummy Bear America/Gummy World America corporation frequently invokes this trope. Appearing first as a seemingly innocent gummy creating corporation, it is later revealed that this company has a dark side to them. Examples include [[spoiler: creating and breeding several dangerous gummy animals (with their normal aggressive behaviour), breeding several gummy humans and destroying them if they become self-aware, housing a demented man-eater version of the Easter Bunny that gives birth to Gummy Bunnies, and kidnapping someone’s parents]].

* ZombieApocalypse: Invoked in [[https://youtu.be/b3o2x6KTRhU the video for the Gummy Brain]], where one of the survivors is a considerably more bearded Chet Huskins of Gummy Bear America.

* CluckingFunny: In "A Musician's First Aid Kit":

!![=Vat19=] provides examples of:

'''Castaway (Danny)''': Why aren’t you taking me too?
'''Pilot''': Sorry, the lighter took your seat.

* MundaneMadeAwesome:

--> '''Bob Ross''': ''The only thing you have to be afraid of is that silly little thing called fear!''

-->'''Scotty Pippen''': "Challenge accepted!"

--> [[spoiler: '''Chet Huskins''': ''Another one’s become self-aware! See you in hell, candy boy!'']]
--> [[spoiler: '''Gummy person''': ''RAAAAGGHHH-'']]

-->'''Dan Italy''': "VAT NINETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"

--> '''Adam''': "Blow it up baby, blow it up!"

-->'''Larry Poppins''': "Ol’ Larry Poppins needs a nap. You kids stay near the power lines where I can see you, okay?"
-->'''Children''': "Okay Larry."

* SequelHook: The [=Vat19=] has a [[spoiler: post credits scene where Hubert, [=Vat19=]’s janitor who is known for his heavy accent and bad English, recovers his broken mops (which Joey had used to fool and fight against Dan Italy and Tony Rigatoni) and swears that he will kill whoever messed with his mops.]] However, currently [=Vat19=] has yet to follow through with this plotline.

** A user named FastBreak383 being featured in almost all of the videos in the Burning Questions series, where Jamie answers questions about a certain product.

* FakeNationality: Many videos of [=Vat19=] exhibit this trope, an example being the ones featuring the German Hans Gretel, as almost all of the main [=Vat19=] crew members are American.
* FakeBrit: Joey and Jon use a fake British accent while playing the fictional song-creating partners Lewis Babington and Graham Dawson in the video about the Giant Gummy Python, though the same fictional people are also shown putting on different accents, such as an American one.
* FakeIrish: Joey pulls this off in the video about the Pop N’ Pour Mug, playing a man who sings a very long folk song about the discovery of the named mug.

* MagicVersusScience: In one video about products that work with water, a scientist fights a wizard.

-->'''Larry Poppins''': "Ol’ Larry Poppins just needs a nap. You kids stay near the power lines where I can see you, okay?"

* FinaglesLaw: One [=Vat19=] music video features a fictional police force known as Murphy’s Law Enforcement, who correct strokes of luck by making sure that the wrong thing that didn’t happen does happen after all to a person. Examples include pouring coffee all over someone’s pants after it just narrowly didn’t spill while he was driving, hitting another man in the crotch with a bat after his daughter just narrowly misses while trying to hit a pinata, and ripping up a hundred-dollar bill after a homeless man finds it, though the last one gets them arrested for destruction of US currency.

*HiddenInPlainSight: [=Vat19=] runs a series with the same name as the trope where Danny has to hide from Jamie (the company CEO and therefore his boss) for as long as possible while still making it either a textbook case of the trope or otherwise completely obvious to a trained eye. Much to Jamie's chagrin, Danny's hiding spots have almost always required assistance or hints to identify, and Danny himself has lasted for considerably lengthy periods of time in each video.

* GiganticGulp: The Das Beer Boot, the Giant Martini Glass, the 5-for-1 Giant Beer Glass to name a few.

* LaserGuidedKarma: The ad for the USB Missile Launcher features a guy named Al who is consistently bullied and mocked by an office jerk for working too hard asking for help from a man who may or may not be his uncle. The man sends him the USB Missile Launcher, which Al uses to shoot the office jerk, who falls over despite how harmless the Launcher is. The girls in the office proceed to laugh at the office jerk, causing him to furiously declare that he will quit and leave. Al then becomes the most popular person in the office.
