9	For the record, 'Amish Mafia' has been exposed as BlatantLies.

11	----
12	!!This series provides examples of:
13
14	* AbortedArc: The majority of the show's subplots ultimately amount to nothing.
15	* TheAlcoholic: Crazy Dave, sadly played straight.
16	* AlmightyJanitor: Jolin on Levi's end, Wayne on Merlin's. Wayne however, didn't take too kindly to not being paid, [[TookALevelInBadass taking a few levels of badass in the process]].
17	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Esther. She may look like your typical Amish woman but she's not above manipulating everyone (including her own brothers) to gain status in their community.
18	* BlatantLies: One of Discovery Channel's finest cases of this, as its original plot involved Levi and Esther being in love. [[WordofGod Word of God]] even said that it was supposed to be more of a documentary about the Lancaster Amish, but ultimately settled on Levi and his friends, as well as their ''mischief''.
19	* TheChessmaster: Merlin exemplifies this very much so in earlier seasons.
20	** Esther and John to some extent, along with Alan... but Levi however, he tops them all.
21	* ChristmasEpisode: "A Very Amish Christmas."
22	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Freeman in earlier seasons.
23	** Merlin [[SubvertedTrope may seem like it]], but he's mainly confusing his enemies with this.
24	* CreepyMonotone: Alvin, as the way he speaks invokes this.
25	* EnemyMine: Season 4 seems to be setting this up between Levi and Merlin by introducing a common enemy: 'Devil' Doug and his Mennonites.
26	* EvilCripple: Zach, nicknamed The Bear and one of Indiana's supposedly most terrifying Amishmen.
27	* FaceHeelTurn: Alan, from season 2 until near the end of the final episode.
28	* HearingVoices: Merlin believes God is speaking to him.
29	** Subverted off the show, as Merlin is a rather pleasant man.
30	* HeelFaceTurn: John, in season 3.
31	** Alan makes one in the final season, promising to protect everyone around him, Amish or Mennonite.
32	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Merlin in the final season, but most especially during season 3 onwards. He wants to save the Amish within Lancaster from Doug and his Mennonite minions, but he also wants a piece of Levi's Amish Aid control in the process. Merlin succeeds in his quest in his part of Ohio within the final episode.
33	* HillbillyHorrors: The Kentucky Amish.
34	* KavorkaMan: Merlin to an Amish woman named Mary who's equally enamored by him in their relationship.
35	** The relationship however was shortlived, [[WordofGod as confirmed by Merlin]] in his Facebook group.
36	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Freeman's supposed demonic possession is much more likely a simple case of schizophrenia.
37	* NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters: Levi's duty, along with his 'mafia', is to help out his community. Half the community sees 'Lebanon' Levi as a saint.
38	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Doug ([[LouisCypher Devil Doug]] is his nickname). The Mennonites under his domain are commanded in a rally to take back Lancaster from Levi and his "bearded breeders".
39	* TattooedCrook: Jolin has several tattoos. It is taboo for ordinary Mennonites to have tattoos, so it is supposed to paint him as an absolute rebel.
40	* RuralGangsters: Essentially parodied in this "reality show" about a gang that protects an Amish community from other criminals.
41	* TheStarscream: Caleb, working for Doug in season 4. After losing a bull in the final episode to Levi, he decides to invoke EvilIsPetty and ultimately [[RoaringRampageofRevenge gets his revenge]] on him by exposing Levi's marriage and child.
42	* TookALevelInBadass: Wayne, due to having not been paid enough by Merlin. He has since gathered his own gang at one point before the show ended.
43	* UndyingLoyalty: Alvin, to Levi.
44	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Presents itself as RealityTV, or at least re-enactments of true events. [[BlatantLies Most often it is not]].
45	* WeWillMeetAgain: Doug attempts to invoke this in the end, but fails. Zach partially succeeds in getting revenge, but Alan stops him by blowing up one of his vehicles.
46	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Season 4, John, Esther, Jolin, Alvin, and Wayne do not appear. Some receive brief mentions, others not at all.
