* BetterThanCanon: ''Many'' people have described the story as a massive improvement over ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman'', due to its nature as a parody that overtly criticizes a lot of the writing choices of the game, while also oddly managing to improve on the story (primarily through skipping most of the parts that drag on, which results in a tighter experience, filling in plot holes, and elaborating upon elements of the story and characterization that the source material only briefly touched).


* AcceptableTargets: Christians. The boat captain was described as bad and Christian (with "RELIGION IS LAME" flashing for a moment), and then he was immediately killed by Moint Pan. All PlayedForLaughs.

** The gag about "highly popular charcter [[BaitAndSwitch Eistein Scintist]]" took on a whole new meaning when that model would be used for the BreakoutCharacter of [[Machinima/HalfLifeButTheAIIsSelfAware a later Half-Life machinima]].

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Moint Pan randomly does a flying spin kick to kill headcrab zombies after making his deal with the G-man. Even for this story it comes out of left field's left field.

** The BaitAndSwitch reveal for the Eistein Scintist would also end up being similar to the twist in ''Videogame/HalfLifeAlyx'' where [[spoiler:the G-man would be in the spot of what seemed to be Gordon Freeman]].

* BetterThanCanon: ''Many'' people have described the story as a massive improvement over ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman'', due to its nature as a parody that overtly criticizes a lot of the writing choices of the game, while also oddly managing to improve on the story (primarily through skipping most of the parts that drag on, which results in a tighter experience).
* NightmareFuel: For some, {{Slasher Smile}}s Gman makes look really disturbing.

Even putting aside my hatred for this trope's ubiquity on this site, I don't think this was used correctly anyway due to HTDF being universally disliked.

* SoBadItsGood: An intentional example; this story is specifically written in style of ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''-esque fanfics and their machinimas, with [[RougeAnglesOfSatin poor grammar]], ridiculous plot, and how the video doesn't take itself seriously.
