4''[=AstroLOLogy=]'' is a Malaysian animated series that was created by Lemon Sky Development and released several prototype shorts in 2016 before officially premiered in 2018, and is focused on short, comedic stories starring anthropomorphic versions of the western zodiac symbols, each with a personality that is supposed to fit those who are born under their symbols' constellations. The series contains no dialog and tells its stories through the visuals, with each episode being released as part of a short compilation or "chapter" and ending with a short fortune message that relates to the character that stars in that episode.

8----
9!!''[=AstroLOLogy=]'' contains the following tropes:
10[[foldercontrol]]
11[[folder:# -- M]]
12* SixIsNine: In "A Capricorn Delivery", Gemini try to impede Capricorn's delivery to their house by flipping the 9 on their door to a 6, but he just uses a tracking app on his phone to find them.
13* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: A variant in "A Capricorn Delivery": when Capricorn gets held up in traffic delivering pizzas to Taurus and Gemini, Taurus points out that he arrived in 31 minutes, so Capricorn gives him five more pizzas for free. Gemini try to take advantage of this and order from him again while trying to sabotage his efforts to get to them on time, but he makes the delivery with a few seconds to spare.
14* AgonyOfTheFeet:
15** In "Pinheads", Gemini disguise themselves as a woman to mess up Taurus while he's about to bowl, causing him to drop the ball on his foot.
16** In "Hot Christmas", Scorpio hides mousetraps in the snow to catch whoever keeps rebuilding his snowman. The next day, he sees that they still did and he ends up stepping on a mousetrap himself, falling over and onto the others.
17** In "Leo's Many Faces", Leo's training involves stepping on hot coals.
18** Another Scorpio example in "You Won't Like Scorpio When He's Mad", where he [[HulkingOut Hulks Out]] after stepping on a plastic brick.
19* AlienAbduction: Done to Aquarius in "Abducted!" His curiosity leads to him wandering around the ship and causing general mayhem, very narrowly almost [[HurlItIntoTheSun hurling the ship into the sun]] before one of the aliens stops him and they send him back to where they found him.
20* AlienAmongUs: "Outerspace Imagination" centers around Pisces being convinced that Aquarius is an alien. He's not, but at the end, it turns out that Gemini are.
21* AlienInvasion: Sagittarius spends most of "In the Zone" playing a video game where she fights aliens, oblivious to everything around her, including an attack from real aliens. By the time she beats the FinalBoss, she sees that her apartment was destroyed in the attack.
22* TheAllegedCar: At the beginning of "The Taurus Mobile", Taurus pulls up to the car dealership in a very busted-up pickup truck.
23* AlmostKiss: In "Bumper to Bumper", Aries interrupts a kiss between Cancer and Leo as they are riding bumper cars.
24* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: While the original version uses a brief instrumental tune for its opening and fortune messages, the Japanese dub adds an extra opening with the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGs7aYQ5XyE "Hate and Love"]] by Byua Musume Reloaded and a longer end credits sequence with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG3HUNQRsbg "Wish Upon a Star"]] by Akihiro Sakamoto.
25* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: In "Monkey on the Moon", Aquarius is prepping [[ApesInSpace a monkey for travel to the moon]], but the monkey won't take anything seriously, so Aquarius copies his own intelligence into its brain to make it smarter. [[GoneHorriblyRight It works a little too well]] when the monkey tricks Aquarius into taking the rocket to the moon instead.
26* AmusingInjuries: Characters are regularly beaten, flattened, electrocuted, and blown up, and the females aren't exempt.
27* AnthropomorphicFood: In "Taurus' Magical Bakes", Taurus makes a gingerbread man that comes to life, then several gingerbread animals that do the same thing. He bakes some oval-shaped cookies in the hopes that cookies without faces will stay inanimate, but one of them ends up growing a face and limbs anyway.
28* AntiClimax: "Color Me Mad" ends with Cancer receiving her red belt for her karate training and then declining to fight Taurus for her black belt. As it turns out, she just wanted the red belt to go with her pinafore.
29* AshFace: Often happens when a character is caught in an explosion, such as Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio and Cancer in "Joke's on You" when Taurus drops a bottle of cooking oil onto an active grill, or Sagittarius and Virgo at the end of "Saggi's Baking Misadventures" from an exploding mixer.
30* AspectRatioSwitch: Unlike every other short which is the standard 16:9 widescreen, "Cancer Terminates", befitting what it's parodying, has a {{letterbox}} format to emulate the appearance of a theatrical film.
31* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: "Roachzilla" has Pisces imagining an attack from a giant roach, while "Robopocalypse" has Gemini fending off a real one.
32* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In "Slow and Steady", Pisces and Cancer get distracted during the race by a store having a sale, while Virgo and Sagittarius stop to pet a cat.
33* BadToTheLastDrop: "The Perfect Bean" begins with Virgo going to a café where she's served a cup of coffee that smells good and has attractive foam art, but, judging from her reaction, tastes terrible. The next place she goes to is no better.
34* BadVibrations: In "Roachzilla", Pisces notices water rippling in the fountain in the park, alerting her to the giant roach in the city.
35* BananaPeel:
36** "Pinheads" has Gary distracting Taurus while he's bowling so that Gerry can put a banana peel in his path to mess him up.
37** "In the Zone" has Sagittarius eating a banana while playing a video game, then throwing the peel on the ground behind her, unknowingly making Aries trip when he came in to try to rob her and got chased around by her dog.
38** In "Slow and Steady", Aquarius tries to use this to cheat in a race, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard only to end up slipping on it himself]].
39* BandageMummy:
40** Scorpio and later Aries in "Tender Loving Care" as a result of [[NurseWithGoodIntentions Cancer]]'s nursing.
41** "Good Grief" has Gerry ending up in a cast after hitting a rock on his bike, making Gary run errands for him while he's bedridden.
42** Virgo during the fortune of "Distracting Virgo" after being crushed under her weapon rack.
43** Aquarius during the fortune of "You Won't Like Scorpio When He's Mad" after being a victim of Scorpio's latest [[HulkingOut Hulk Out]].
44** Sagittarius at the end of "Saggi the Unstoppable" from a multitude of AmusingInjuries.
45* BeeAfraid: In "Damsel in Bee-stress", Pisces finds a single bee in a bouquet and imagines it as a giant, hostile one.
46* BewitchedAmphibians:
47** In "Hocus Pocus", Aquarius inadvertently turns Pisces into a toad after drinking one of her potions and belching a gas cloud in her face, but it wears off quickly.
48** Happens to Aquarius himself at the end of "Fairy [=GodAquarius=]", courtesy of an angry Pisces, Cancer, and Virgo. It wears off during the fortune message, only for him to immediately get turned into a [[{{Pun}} toadstool]] by another spell.
49* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: A yeti shows up in a few shorts, most notably "High on Love" and "A Monstrous Preparation".
50* BigOlEyebrows: Libra and Scorpio both have more prominent brows than the rest of the cast.
51* BigRedDevil: In "One Cool Exorcist", a possessed Capricorn turns into this as he's chasing Cancer around the room. In this form, the horns on his hat turn into more demonic-looking ones.
52* BlackComedy:
53** Probably the earliest and most pitch-black example is the Sagittarius short "Funfair" from the 2016 series: she uses her archery skills to shoot at targets to knock penguins into a kiddie pool while her pet monkey laughs at them. The penguins retaliate by asking her to hit a target again blindfolded, while also tying up her monkey, putting it above one of the targets, and replacing the pool with a pot of boiling oil. Saggi/Sally pulls her arrow back and it cuts to the fortune before she can release...
54** At the end of "Aries-ponsible Friend", Aries has fallen unconscious from his allergy to Virgo's cat. She pokes him with a stick like someone would with a dead body.
55** In "Abducted!", after Aquarius decides to give himself a tour of the aliens' ship, a laser that he messed with discharges and turns one of the aliens into a pile of goo.
56** In "Fairy [=GodAquarius=]", Aquarius grants Pisces (Literature/TheLittleMermaid) her wish of having legs... [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor which has the secondary effect of removing her ability to breathe underwater]]. She tries to swim to the surface [[SuperDrowningSkills but just sinks to the bottom]] (she shows up alive at the end, both wet and very pissed off).
57* BlandNameProduct: A fictional version of Website/YouTube called "[=StarTube=]" shows up in a few episodes.
58* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: In "Scorpio Feels the Burn", at a Chinese restaurant, Cancer gets three bottles of hot sauce for her and Scorpio to go with their food. Even though the "mild" sauce alone makes Capricorn on a nearby table [[FireBreathingDiner start breathing fire]], Scorpio insists on using the hottest one to avoid appearing weak, with predictable results.
59* BlindWithoutEm: In "Perfect Sight", Virgo's eyesight worsens and she has to get glasses. When she returns them to the store later, she promptly walks into the doorframe on her way out.
60* BoundAndGagged: In "Blast to the Past", every time Virgo replaces one of her past selves, she leaves them tied up and gagged in her closet. At the end, [[SomethingWeForgot Scorpio finds the seven of them still there]], and the fortune message shows them chasing after Virgo Prime, clearly vengeful.
61* BrickJoke: In "Snowy Blunder", Aquarius brings his miniature snow cloud to Pisces while she's taking a bath, freezing her and the bathwater. At the end, she falls from the sky, still frozen, and lands on him.
62* ButtMonkey: Every character suffers their share of abuse, but Capricorn easily has it the worst, with Aries and Virgo not too far behind. For Capricorn, it's usually the result of his overt sense of commitment putting him in bad situations or the universe simply being against him for that episode, for Aries, it's usually retribution for his competitive nature, and for Virgo, it's usually a product of her perfectionism or being around Sagittarius.
63* CameraAbuse: At the end of "Aries-ponsible Friend", Aries sneezes, covering the screen in mucus.
64* CastOfPersonifications: The characters are all the western zodiac symbols, Aries, Taurus, Gemini... you get the idea.
65* CatGirl: In "Fairy [=GodAquarius=]", Aquarius goes into the story of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and turns Virgo into this rather than turning Leo back to his original form. She's not happy about it.
66* CatsAreMean: In "Com-meow-nication", one of the cats that Aquarius uses his translator to communicate with asks for a phone, which it uses to call animal control on a nearby dog and then gives an EvilLaugh.
67* CheatersNeverProsper: In "Slow and Steady", Aquarius attempts to maintain his lead in a race by eating a banana and throwing the [[BananaPeel peel]] behind him so the other racers slip on it. When he throws the peel into the air, it hits a bird who then drops it on the ground in front of Aquarius, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard causing him to trip on it himself]], get [[SquashedFlat trampled and flattened]] by the others, and be given a red card by Scorpio. Later, Gemini try to get a cab to the finish line, but the cab driver is Scorpio, who gives them both red cards and throws them out.
68* ChristmasEpisode: The shorts in the chapter "The Jolliest Time of the Year" are mainly Christmas-themed.
69* CityWithNoName: The city that the cast live in isn't officially named, most likely a consequence of the lack of dialogue.
70* ClipShow: "Naughty or Nice" is mainly clips of Capricorn's good deeds and Gemini's mischief from other episodes.
71* {{Cloneopoly}}: In "Checkmate Aquarius", Aquarius plays a game of Astropoly with his chess-playing robot.
72* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In "The Heart of a Winner", during their fencing match, Capricorn causes Leo's pants to fall off.
73* ContinuityNod:
74** A newspaper headline showing Leo after being beaten up by Cancer in "Leo to the Rescue" appears in several episodes.
75** The blueprints for Aquarius' robot girlfriend in "Mechanical Love" show up again in "Multiplicity".
76** Occasionally, characters will have photos of themselves from previous episodes hanging in their homes, e.g. in "Pet Sitting with Capricorn", Capricorn's house has photos of him with the teddy bear he won in "Capricorn Takes on the Bull" and with his puppet in "Capricorn the Puppeteer", while Virgo's house in ""Missing Puzzle" Puzzle" has photos of her from "Shhhh!".
77* CoolCar: In "The Taurus Mobile", Taurus goes to buy a new car and Aquarius suggests a fancy convertible that can also [[TransformingVehicle turn into a helicopter and boat]]. Naturally, it costs exactly a billion dollars, which the miserly Taurus is unwilling to pay for, so he strips most of the features from the car until it's down to $1,000. This includes the wheels, so he carries it away [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone-style]].
78* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: In "A Flaming New Year", Capricorn goes through hell just to get a fire to light some fireworks for New Year's Eve, first running out of matches, trying fruitlessly to start a fire in other ways, and then [[RumpRoast getting his pants set ablaze]] trying to get a fire from a torch that Aries was carrying. He succeeds, only for Pisces to reveal that she had a lighter all that time.
79* CrackOhMyBack:
80** In "Spa-Aah!", Cancer goes to a massage and spa for relief from a backache. After Taurus' unconventional methods fix her, she throws her back out again during the fortune message.
81** The fortune message of "Life of the Party" has Gemini dancing until the sound of both their hips cracking can be heard.
82* CranialEruption: In "Capricorn the Puppeteer", Capricorn's hand puppet gets one when it imitates Scorpio trying and failing to break bricks with his head.
83* CreepyDoll: In "The Doll", Pisces orders one that turns out to be haunted and murderous. Capricorn thwarts its attempts to kill her and destroys it by uppercutting it [[KillItWithFire into the fireplace]], only for Pisces to reveal that it was just the latest in her collection of similar-looking and similarly malicious dolls.
84* CucumberFacial: In "The Boys Who Cried Candy", Gerry requests one from Cancer.
85* CupidsArrow: In "Love-Struck" and "Wingmen", Gemini both play the role of Cupids and have the arrows to go with it. The former short has them attempting to use them to make Cancer and Sagittarius fall in love with them, but it doesn't work, leading to them getting beaten up.
86* CuteKitten: Cats on the show are depicted as being extremely cute, and this is the whole focus of the chapter "Cat-astrophe".
87* DeadAllAlong:
88** Done comically at the end of "Mummy vs. Zombie": on Halloween, Capricorn and Cancer are both dressed as mummies, but Cancer's costume covers up her face. When Cancer decides to reward Capricorn with a kiss for saving her from zombies, she undoes her bandages, revealing that she was a real mummy all along and has the NightmareFace to match. This leaves Capricorn less than enthusiastic to get a kiss from her.
89** "Paranormal Piscesity" ends with the reveal that Taurus was a ghost after Pisces was scared of her hotel room.
90* DeadlineNews: In "Robopocalypse", after Taurus reports on a meteor crashing, the giant roach contained within it breaks into the news studio.
91* DefensiveFeintTrap: In "Color Me Mad", at a martial arts dojo, Cancer goes up against her first opponent, Capricorn, and feigns weakness when he punches her arm so she can clobber him and claim her yellow belt.
92* DemonicPossession: In "One Cool Exorcist", Cancer hires Libra to exorcise a possessed Capricorn. As Libra takes his sweet time with the procedure, Cancer beats the ghost out of Capricorn herself, returning him to normal.
93* DestructiveSaviour: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in "The Reckless Hero": Aries focuses a bit too much on trying to apprehend Capricorn that he doesn't notice how much damage he's doing to the city. He succeeds, but Taurus arrests both of them. Aries protests and the city is shown in ruin.
94* DinnerDeformation: In "Joke's on You", one of the Gemini twins is eaten by a snake, and he's clearly visible with his legs poking out from inside the snake's stomach. The fortune message has both of the Gemini twins eaten, both still visible as lumps within the snake.
95* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens to Capricorn in "The Heart of a Winner" when he knocks Pisces' faceguard off. After winning their first two rounds, he becomes guilt-ridden seeing her shed a SingleTear [[LoveMakesYouDumb and throws the match for her]].
96* [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: In "A Quiet Celebration", as Cancer is pushed to her limit by her grandmother's constant requests, she gets angry while grabbbing the front doorknob. When she calms down after seeing that her grandmother just wanted to share a cup of tea with her, she takes her hand off the knob, revealing it to now be warped.
97* TheDogBitesBack: In "The Line", after Scorpio [[ThisIsMySide divides the island that he and Libra are marooned on]], he ends up extremely lucky with all of his endeavors while Libra has no such fortune. When a boat comes by to rescue them, Libra refuses to let Scorpio onboard because the boat docked on Libra's side and Scorpio would be crossing the line to get over.
98* TheDoorSlamsYou: In "The Unstoppable Diva", Pisces' exaggerated karaoke song ends when Aquarius and Cancer accidentally slam a door in her face.
99* DopeSlap: In "Wingmen", Gary does this to Gerry in frustration after they expend all of their arrows.
100* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Taurus Makes a Yummy Treat" refers to Taurus having a picnic by himself and almost getting eaten by cannibals.
101* DreadfulMusician: In "Charming Libra", Libra's recorder playing is decidedly terrible and has the effect of making a glass next to Capricorn [[GlassShatteringSound shatter]], making Leo's phone [[StuffBlowingUp explode]], and causing a stagelight to shatter and fall. And that's ''before'' he uses it to summon snakes.
102* DrivesLikeCrazy: Libra is suggested to be this in "1800-Scorpio" when he keeps crashing his car and calling Scorpio for a tow. Eventually, Scorpio gets sick of towing him and gives him a tricycle, only for Libra to tip it over on its side and call him again, which enrages Scorpio so much that [[{{Irony}} he drives his tow truck into a tree]].
103* EatenAlive: In "Pet Peeves", after Virgo's attempts to discipline Sagittarius' pet alligator prove fruitless, it simply picks her up and eats her before going home to its owner. However, Virgo is then able to manipulate it from within its stomach to force it to do chores and later spit her out.
104* ElectricJellyfish: In "Like Me, Please!", after Cancer takes a selfie among a school of jellyfish, one of them latches onto her face and zaps her, creating audible electricity noises.
105* ElectrifiedBathtub: In "The Doll", Pisces' doll tries to do the traditional toaster-in-bathtub on her, but Capricorn wrestles it away and falls into a nearby puddle, resulting in XRaySparks.
106* EnergyWeapon: In "Cancer Terminates", Terminator!Leo attacks Cancer and Aries with a laser shotgun.
107* EnormousEngagementRing: In "Little Savings Big Love", after a less than ideal lunch and shopping spree, Taurus reveals that he saved up enough money to buy Pisces a massive diamond ring. The fortune message shows her having difficulty keeping her hand raised due to its sheer weight.
108* EnsembleCast: There's no one designated main character, and all thirteen of them get equal amounts of focus.
109* EpicFail:
110** In "Tricks & Flicks", after being allowed to substitute in a soccer match, Aries scores a winning kick... [[OwnGoal in his own team's goal]]. All Sagittarius (their goalie) can do is glare at him, while Scorpio (their coach) falls face-first to the ground.
111** In "Leo to the Rescue", Leo prepares to dramatically save Cancer from drowning, even calling a news crew to film it, only to trip on a conch and fall face-first right in front of the water. He ends up getting beaten up by Cancer, immortalized in the news, losing his job, and becoming a janitor.
112** Another Leo example in "Striking the Winning Pose", where he almost wins the relay race until he catches his foot on a hurdle, causing him to fall on his face and finish in last place.
113** Sagittarius's attempt at making a simple lemon cake in "Saggi's Baking Misadventures". She puts the ingredients in the bowl, then everything goes to hell when the mixer she uses gets jammed and catches fire.
114** In "Scorpio's Aqua Drama", Scorpio's attempt to set up a new aquarium just causes him further stress.
115* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first thing we see Aquarius doing in his debut (the first episode) is producing a love potion he intends to use on Sagittarius, establishing he's a scientist.
116* EurekaMoment: In "Checkmate Aquarius", when his new robot proves better than him at every game they play, Aquarius sees that he built the robot with pincers for hands and challenges it to a game of rock-paper-scissors. He's able to win every time by throwing rock because the robot, by design, can only throw scissors, eventually overloading it.
117* EveryEpisodeEnding: Each episode ends with a short on-screen fortune message that relates to one of the characters who stars in that particular story, though certain compilations will remove them.
118* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: "Bullies Beware" and "Libra's Laughs Last" show that the main cast all attended the same daycare.
119* ExcaliburInTheStone: The original story is parodied in a short actually titled "The Sword in the Stone": after Leo repeatedly tries and fails to pull the sword, Capricorn pulls it out and [[MundaneUtility uses it as a cooking utensil]].
120* ExitPursuedByABear: Several episodes end with this happening to a lead or supporting character during the fortune message.
121* EyeAmWatchingYou: In "Naughty or Nice", Santa!Taurus gives this to Gemini when they fail to get away with their latest antic, then again during the fortune message when they start fighting while sweeping up.
122* EyeBeams: Part of Pisces' superpowers in "Super Drama". She uses them to attempt to kill a roach, inadvertently destroying the jailhouse that she threw Aries into.
123* EyePoke: In "Love-Struck", Gerry does this to Gary.
124* FacePalm:
125** Capricorn at the end of "Santa Gets a Little Stuck" when Santa!Taurus is pondering how to get down a house's chimney with two smokestacks.
126** Aquarius at the end of "Robopocalypse" when Gemini's arguing prevents them from landing the finishing blow on the monster they were fighting.
127* FacePlant: Virgo does this in the fortune message of "Little Miss Perfect Score".
128* FaceplantingIntoFood: At the end of "Sleepy Sweetie", Cancer, who was sitting on a plane and previously unable to sleep while placed between Scorpio and Taurus, passes out in her complimentary birthday cake.
129* FairyTaleEpisode: The shorts in the chapter "A Very Fairy [=AstroLOLogy=]" spoof several fables including Literature/{{Cinderella}}, Literature/TheLittleMermaid, Literature/SleepingBeauty, Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast, Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk, Literature/{{Rapunzel}}, Literature/TheGingerbreadMan, [[Literature/AesopsFables The Honest Woodcutter]], Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, Literature/{{Aladdin}}, Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin, and Myth/KingArthur.
130* FantasticVoyagePlot: In "Shrinking Taurus", Taurus hides an engagement ring intended for Cancer in a slice of cake, only for Aries to eat the whole thing, so Taurus pilots a miniaturized submarine into Aries' body to get it back.
131* {{Fingore}}:
132** In "Tender Loving Care", Aries goes to the hospital for a cut on his finger. [[NurseWithGoodIntentions Cancer]] treats it, but while snipping the excess bandage accidentally cuts another of his fingers, and this continues until she's bandaged both of his whole hands. The short ends with Taurus going in for a cut on his own finger.
133** "In the Trauma Room" centers around Pisces [[MinorInjuryOverreaction having a melodramatic breakdown over cutting her finger]].
134* FireBreathingDiner: Scorpio and Capricorn in "Scorpio Feels the Burn".
135* FishingForSole: In "The Line", when Scorpio and Libra go fishing, the former catches a fish while the latter gets a boot.
136* {{Foil}}:
137** Many of Virgo and Sagittarius' shorts will have them serving as this to each other, the former being the straight-faced everywoman to the latter's excitable thrillseeker.
138** Scorpio is often this to Gemini, as his short temper makes him a prime target for their goofball antics. He's also sometimes this to Capricorn, who is the friendly childlike character to Scorpio's tough guy, and to Libra, whose calm nature is the opposite of Scorpio's short fuse.
139* FoodFight: Gemini have gotten into this twice, first in the fortune message of "When Gemi-Bye, Gemi-Cry" , then during "One Buffet Two Pranksters".
140* TheForeignSubtitle: The series is officially known as ''[=AstroLOLogy=] ~Funny Zodiac Fortunes~'' in Japanese.
141* FountainOfYouth: In "From Gaga to Goo-ga", as an old Leo laments his lost good looks, he sees that Aquarius hasn't aged a day, which turns out to be from using a machine that restores his youth when needed. Leo uses it himself and ends up a baby from overuse.
142* {{Gasshole}}:
143** In "The Sweet Smell of Revenge", after Gemini laugh at him for farting during yoga class, Scorpio gets his revenge by inviting them into the sauna with him, locking the three of them in, and putting on a respirator before unleashing a massive fart that the brothers can't escape from. During the fortune message, he releases a smaller fart that makes them pass out.
144** In "Feeding Time", Libra becomes this from eating garlic-flavored chips and inadvertently destroys Count Taurus with his breath. The fortune message then shows him unknowingly farting in Taurus' face when the latter tries to sneak up on him again.
145* GirlishPigtails: Cancer has a pair that are appropriately shaped like crab claws. A flashback at the beginning of "Little Miss Perfect Score" shows that Virgo also had a pair of her own as a child.
146* GlassShatteringSound: Pisces' singing in "A Breaking Song". At first people are annoyed by it breaking all of the glass on a cruise ship, but it comes in handy for shattering an iceberg that they were about to hit.
147* GoodAngelBadAngel:
148** In the short "To Do or Not to Do", while at the store, Libra has both halves of Gemini serving as his angel and devil when he seems to be contemplating taking money from the register while Sagittarius is sleeping at the counter. His devil wins out, but it turns out Libra really just wanted to take a nearby marker and [[FaceDoodling draw on Sagittarius' face in her sleep]].
149** "Naughty or Nice" does a variant: Taurus, working as a MallSanta, asks Capricorn and Gemini if they've been nice or naughty by conjuring angel and devil versions of them and having them pick one.
150* GreaserDelinquents: Scorpio and Gemini play the role of this in "Hard Hits" when they mug Aries, Taurus, and Capricorn for their candy.
151* GreenAroundTheGills: In "Dinner is Just...Unjust!", Libra's face turns slightly green after taking a bite of [[LethalChef Pisces]]' cooking, then Pisces' cat has the same reaction when Libra gives the plate to it.
152* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: In "From Gaga to Goo-ga" and "Life of the Party", Leo has gone bald as an old man.
153* HalloweenEpisode: The chapters "Happy Ahh-LOL-ween" and "Paranormal [=AstroLOLogy=]".
154* HereWeGoAgain: In "R.I.Phone", after Pisces' phone is destroyed and a whole funeral is held for it, Cancer gives her a new one. The fortune message shows Pisces dropping that one, causing her to return to her malaise.
155* HonestAxe: The original story is parodied in "Honesty is the Best Policy": Gerry loses an axe down a well, and a water sprite Sagittarius comes out with the axe he lost and one made of gold. Gerry wants the golden axe, but Gary scolds him and asks for the one he dropped, getting the golden one as well. Later, when Gary throws Gerry down the well, Saggi asks him to choose between the Gerry he threw (who is rightfully pissed) and an angelic doppelganger. He picks the latter, and she punishes both him and the original Gerry by fusing them together.
156* HopeSpot:
157** In "Candy Crushed", Cancer avoids stepping in three puddles only for a passing cab to hit her with a RoadsideWave, ruining her princess costume further.
158** In "A Breaking Song", after Pisces' singing has split the iceberg that the cruise ship was about to crash into, the camera pans to reveal that it also shattered the ship's hull. It immediately cuts to the fortune message, where everyone is sailing home in a lifeboat.
159* HorrifyingTheHorror: In "The Hygienist", when Count Leo sneaks up on Virgo, she notices that one of his fangs is dirty and throws him into a dentistry chair to give him a cleaning, utterly terrifying him.
160* HospitalHottie: Cancer works as a nurse in several shorts, and she's joined by Virgo and Sagittarius in "A Procedure for Attention".
161* IAteWhat:
162** In "Sweating Over an Ingredient", Aquarius eats a pizza and tastes an ingredient that he can't put his finger on. Turns out it's Taurus' sweat that came off him due to the heat from the pizza coming out of the oven, the revelation of which makes Aquarius [[VomitDiscretionShot lose his lunch]].
163** The above gets one-upped by a case of I Drank WHAT?! in "The Perfect Bean": Sagittarius serves Virgo some coffee and Virgo loves it, then asks how it's made. In the brewing room, three raccoons go into three bathroom stalls, producing a brown liquid that is then poured into a cup... yeah, Virgo's reaction says everything.
164* IdeaBulb:
165** In the episode "Telly Vision", Aquarius has a dream where a bunch of little Aquariuses put together a giant light bulb. When he wakes up from the dream, Aquarius figures out how to get his TV working again - just plug it back in, since he had forgotten to do so.
166** In "Bright Ideas", Aquarius uses one to replace a burnt-out bulb in a lamp. His habit of making these later ends up being his undoing when the light gives away his and Pisces' [[GarbageHideout hiding place in a dumpster]] and Taurus mugs them.
167* IdenticalGrandson: In "Life of the Party", Cancer is a nurse at a retirement home, but she hasn't aged along with the rest of the cast, suggesting that this Cancer is just the original's descendant.

172* IndulgentFantasySegue: In "The Pisces Coaster", Pisces has several of these when she imagines the ways her and Capricorn riding a rollercoaster can go horribly wrong, all ending in a shot of a grave where her hair is visibly sticking out of the dirt. The first has the car flying off the track and into a hot dog cart, [[StuffBlowingUp exploding on impact]]. The second is one of the wheels coming off and the car crashing into the side of a tunnel, exploding again. The third is her safety bar breaking and her falling out of the car while it's upside down.
173* InstantWristwatch: In "Scorpio Lets It Out", Scorpio gets one while waiting in line for entrance to the amusement park.
174* InstrumentalThemeTune: Befitting the lack of dialogue, the opening theme to the pilot shorts and the one to the later shorts are both mainly whistling, though the Japanese dub has its own additional opening and ending themes.
175* InvoluntaryDance: In "Breaking Some Moves", after pushing his body to its limits by dancing for hours on end to practice for a dance competition, Aries shows off to the judges and starts dancing uncontrollably.

180* TheLastStraw:
181** In "From Flubber to Fit", Taurus gets in shape over several months only to immediately regain all of the weight he lost after Cancer feeds him a cupcake. The bench they're sitting on then breaks on his end and Cancer is sent flying.
182** "Uh-oh Spaghetti-No!" revolves around Cancer trying to have a SpaghettiKiss with Leo, forcing him to eat plate after plate of spaghetti every time something goes wrong. She finally gives him one single noodle and [[VomitDiscretionShot he throws up on her offscreen]].

189* MadeOfIndestructium: In "Countdown to Christmas", against Virgo's warning to wait until Christmas Day, Aries opens a present that turns out to be a safe on a digital time lock.

205* MundaneUtility:
206** In "Blast to the Past", Virgo somehow owns a TimeMachine that she's previously used to travel through time and take photos of herself in the past.

207** "The Lazy Portal" centers on Libra using a portal gun for mundane tasks like getting a soda from his fridge and getting food from a drive-thru without leaving his chair.

212[[folder:N -- Z]]

214* NakedPeopleAreFunny: In "Fullmoon", when a full moon comes out, Leo tries to avoid letting Cancer see him turn into a werewolf. When he runs into the restroom, Cancer follows him in... and sees him naked because he turned back to normal when the clouds obscured the moon again and [[AvertedTrope he didn't have]] MagicPants.
215* NegativeContinuity: Very little of the show is consistent between shorts. A character can be living in an apartment in one short and a house in another, and whoever they're dating also varies, with the most frequent pairings being Leo + Cancer, Taurus + Pisces, and Scorpio + Virgo. They'll even be married to another character in one short and then either single or dating again later. Sometimes, they'll be monsters for one short, usually during the {{Halloween Episode}}s, and then back to normal by their next appearance.
216* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: The characters' employment varies between shorts, the most consistent being Cancer as a nurse, Virgo as a dental hygienist, Scorpio as a handyman, and Capricorn as a mover. This is lampshaded in Aries' official bio, which says that his impulsive nature means he's constantly looking for a new job.
217* NewYearHasCome: The episodes "A Flaming New Year", "Party Perfect", and "Capricorn the Party Starter" explicitly take place on New Year's Eve.

220* NowYouTellMe: The visual equivalent shows up in "The Line": when Scorpio sees Libra using his phone to listen to music, he tries to use it to call for help, only for the battery to run dry and Scorpio crushes the phone to pieces. ''Then'' Libra shows Scorpio that he had a portable charger all that time.
221* OffscreenRealityWarp: At the end of "Condimental Love", after Libra's hot dog dilemma is solved, he's shocked to see that Sagittarius spent so long waiting for him that she became an old woman with a walker and IV drip offscreen.

224** At the end of "A Capricorn Delivery", Gemini have this reaction to seeing the balloons carrying their house in the air all pop at once (we don't see them fall to the ground, however).

226* OneManBand: One of the 2016 prototype shorts features Aquarius having invented a one-man band machine so he can perform for money.

227* OvenLogic: In "Aries Whips Up a Disaster", Aries attends a baking class, but lacks the patience to make his dish properly. When the time comes to bake the class's bowls, Taurus sets them all to bake for 20 minutes, but Aries sets his bowl to the highest temperature for 30 seconds, causing it to catch fire and [[StuffBlowingUp explode]].
228* OverTheTopRollerCoaster: Several are featured in the chapter "At the Ahhh-musement Park". In particular, "Space Quest" begins with Aquarius, Taurus and Virgo riding a rollercoaster that ends up being very disappointing, so Aquarius has it rebuilt into a much better one that ends in them being launched to the moon.
229* PacManFever: The virtual reality game in "Valiant Scorpio" plays 8-bit music all the way through.
230* PatheticallyWeak: At the beginning of "Fit for Boxing (Day)", Pisces is depicted as being so weak that she can't even do a push-up, lift a barbell, or do a pull-up, which motivates her to get in shape before the end of the month.

241* PottyEmergency:
242** In "Winning Appetite", Taurus inadvertently wins a race when he's struck by this.

246* ProperlyParanoid: In "Monster Hunt", while Scorpio and Aries are hunting down a criminal [[BigCreepyCrawlies giant roach]], Scorpio aims his blaster at Libra's brother.

247* PuppyDogEyes:
248** In "Persuading Leo", Cancer repeatedly does this to Leo to get him to do effeminate things with her. Aquarius tries the same thing to get Leo to sign something, but Leo has been run ragged by Cancer doing it and instinctively slaps him.
249** Done by Sagittarius and the alien she found in "A New Planet" when Virgo is unsure about letting the latter stay with them.
250* RageQuit: At the end of "Countdown to Christmas", Virgo's gift to Aries is a Rubik's cube. After fumbling with it for a few seconds, he throws it to the ground in frustration.

253* RightOnQueue: "Rolling on Patience" sees Aries waiting in a long line for a rollercoaster.
254* TheRival: Aries and Leo are often shown having a sort of rivalry, as Aries' CompetitionFreak nature stands in contrast to Leo's massive ego, though they have worked together as part of a three-legged race in "The Two Legged Chase".
255* RoadApples: Gags about animals pooping show up on occasion.
256* {{Robinsonade}}:
257** "The Line" centers around Libra and Scorpio being stranded on a tiny island.

261* RumpRoast: Happens to Capricorn in "A Flaming New Year" from his attempt to get a flame from the torch Aries was carrying.
262* RunningGag:
263** Pisces freaking out at the sight of roaches.
264** A Renaissance-style painting of Cancer first appears in "Photobomber" and then shows up in several other episodes. It was eventually made available on an official phone case.
265** The newspaper with the photo of Cancer beating up Leo in "Leo to the Rescue" appears in some other episodes ("Spooks for Sweets", "Curls & Hurls", and many others).
266* ScaryStingingSwarm: "Face Beyond Recognition" has Leo picking some flowers for Virgo only to get beat up by bees, who make his face swell so much that he ends up locked out of his new facial recognition-enabled phone.
267* ScreamDiscretionShot: At the end of "Creepy Crawly", after Taurus finds and returns Virgo's pet spider that he was petsitting, it cuts to the outside of Taurus's house and him screaming as he finds that it left eggs in his shower cap.
268* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
269** In "A Breaking Song", as the cruise ship is about to hit an iceberg, Aries can be seen putting on scuba equipment and jumping off the deck to safety, though he's back on the ship after Pisces destroys the iceberg with her singing.
270** At the end of "Hocus Pocus", Pisces decides she doesn't want to put up with Aquarius' antics anymore and throws him out the window. Her house then grows bird legs Baba Yaga-style, kicks Aquarius offscreen, and runs off.
271* SelfFulfillingProphecy: In "Scorpio and the Princess", Scorpio is a king who revels in the fact that no man has ever defeated him in combat until his MagicMirror shows him getting beaten up by Cancer. He finds her and challenges her to a fight, which she initially refuses until Scorpio shoos away her animal friends, causing her to become enraged and maul him.
272* ShaggyDogStory:
273** Capricorn in "High on Love" climbs a mountain to get Pisces a rare flower that they saw an online article about, but it turns out she was actually excited from seeing an ad for a Valentine's Day sale in the lower right corner of said article. Left in shock, Capricorn eats the flower.

275** In "Santa Gets a Little Stuck", against Capricorn's advice, Santa!Taurus insists on squeezing himself down a house's chimney and keeps getting stuck in different ways, eventually getting down and destroying the chimney and fireplace in the process. He then finds Capricorn waiting for him after the latter simply used the front door to get in.
276* ShiftedToCGI: The original prototype shorts were animated in Flash, while later prototypes and the final product are all animated in CGI.
277* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: In "You Won't Like Scorpio When He's Mad", Aquarius is able to prevent Scorpio from having another freak out by injecting him with something to calm him down in time. Then he hands Scorpio the $1,000 bill for their therapy session...
278* ShoutOut:
279** The virtual reality game in "Valiant Scorpio" looks a lot like ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' with its blocky art style. There's also Scorpio getting thrown into [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros a green pipe, then he jumps up into a floating block and grows in size after obtaining a spear of broccoli from it]].

288** In "A Capricorn Delivery", Gemini [[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} lift their house into the air using balloons]].
289** Several of the characters' superhero and supervillain personas in "Caped Crusaders" are caricatures of licensed characters; Aquarius is WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget, Taurus is ComicBook/{{Batman}}, Leo is ComicBook/{{Superman}}, Aries is ComicBook/TheFlash, albeit with flight on top of SuperSpeed, Virgo is ComicBook/WonderWoman, Libra is ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Cancer is Franchise/SailorMoon with a [[Franchise/DragonBall Super Saiyan]]-esque GoldenSuperMode, Gemini's FusionDance is done with two rings like the Wonder Twins' transformations, and Scorpio is ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk in one short and ComicBook/LexLuthor in another.

297* SpeakingSimlish: The characters can speak and occasionally sing, it just comes out as indistinct babbling.

302** Gemini at the end of "Tom-Voo Doo-lery" from an angry Aquarius slamming two voodoo dolls of them together.

306* StrongFamilyResemblance: Whenever a character's family members are shown, they greatly resemble each other. In "Fast Love", we meet Aries' family and see that they look like him down to having similar hoods, and in "Taurus and the Tricycle", we meet another member, presumably his younger brother, who looks like him as a kid. Likewise, Libra's parents, younger brother, and grandfather look almost exactly like him, Taurus' father in a flashback looks like him with a mustache, and Cancer's grandmother looks like her.

313* TakenForGranite: Done by a gorgon Aquarius to several characters in "A Hero Shines". Naturally, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard it ends up being his own undoing]] when Virgo shines a petrified Libra's shield until it becomes shiny enough to reflect his gaze back at him.
314* TeethFlying: In "Dental-phobia", Scorpio wins a boxing match against Leo, knocking one of the latter's teeth out. He later finds that he has a cavity and, after being too afraid to see a dentist (Virgo) to have it properly treated, he challenges Leo to a rematch in the hopes that he'll knock the offending tooth out. It works... [[GoneHorriblyRight but then the rest of Scorpio's teeth fall out]] and the short ends with him getting dentures.
315* TeleporterAccident: In "Star Science", while testing out his teleporter pods, Aquarius sees too late that the pod he's in has a spider in it, which results in him emerging from the other pod with ComicBook/SpiderMan-style wall-crawling powers.

320* ThisIsMySide: In "The Line", Libra and Scorpio do this when they're stranded on a tiny island.
321* TimeMaster: "Click to Speed" revolves around Aries discovering that the fast forward function on his TV remote works on everything. He uses it to speed up his turkey in the microwave, a bird hatching from its egg, Cancer going through a long presentation, a traffic light turning green during heavy traffic (which causes the cars to crash), and even the seasons changing. The fun stops when [[BrickJoke the bird he hatched earlier]] presses the pause button, leaving him frozen.
322* ToiletHumour: Used on occasion, e.g. the ending of "Good Grief" when Gary throws the tablet he was using to communicate with a bedridden Gerry into a public toilet just as Leo is about to sit down on it, followed by Gerry's panicked screams. When we next see Gerry during the fortune message, he's gone catatonic.

After their initial failure, Leo tells them the story of how he used to be a scrawny weakling and was similarly bullied, which drove him to bulk up and become what he is now, inspiring them to not give up. The short ends with the three having bulked up and taking their revenge on Scorpio and Gemini.
327* ToServeMan: In "Outerspace Imagination", the last of Pisces' fantasies about Aquarius being an alien in disguise is of him eating Cancer.
328* TrainingFromHell: Leo's training under Aries to become a master of masks in "Leo's Many Faces" involves sticking his hands in boiling water, stepping on hot coals, attempting to maintain his composure while being tickled with a feather, and balancing stacks of bowls while stretched between two stools and with incense burning under him.
