3	Created by Tom Andre, ''A Slap On Titan'' is one of the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' [[WebVideo/AttackOnTitanAbridged Abridged]] [[WebVideo/AbridgedOnTitan series]]. This series exaggerates some of the character's traits, like Eren's grudge against Titans (and his [[BerserkButton anger in general]]), Mikasa's [[BigBrotherAttraction feelings]] for Eren (as well as [[TokenMinority being the only Asian]]), Jean becoming a literal FrenchJerk, and so on. [[EnfantTerrible Armin]], however...
4
5	Eren is not happy when he finds out that his mother, Carla, was more promiscuous than he was led to believe as a child. After the Titans invade Shiganshina, he declares that his mother was "pure" until that day, when the Colossal Titan appeared and destroyed Wall Maria and that [[InsaneTrollLogic the Titans are to blame for his mother's promiscuity,]] despite the fact that it had occurred YEARS before. He also really hates the fact that Hannes could be his potential father and does not like gingers. After Armin's grandfather dies, and Armin, Mikasa, and Eren become orphans, Eren decides to join the military to avenge his mother (and Armin's abusive grandfather), Mikasa joins to [[BigBrotherAttraction look after Eren]], and Armin joins because he [[NightmareFetishist wants to see death.]]

15	----
16	!!Tropes Featured In A Slap On Titan:
17
18	* AbusiveParents: Armin's grandfather whose parting words to him were taking a morbid pride that Armin will be orphaned when the Titans kill him. His parents also sent him to a pray-away-the-gay camp when he was just five.
19	* AccidentalPublicConfession: Eren accidentally told his training unit that his mother was a whore.
20	%%* ActionGirl: Mikasa, and to a lesser extent, Annie.
21	* TheAlcoholic: Pixis, to the point where he vomits on the entire gathering midway through a RousingSpeech and is incapable of providing testimony for Eren's defence at the trial because he can't remember the Battle of Trost.
22	** Everyone in the Levi Squad drinks heavily as a [[DrowningMySorrows coping mechanism]].
23	* AlcoholicParent: Armin's grandfather strikes again.
24	-->'''Armin''': I wanted the flask where he kept his angry juice.
25	* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Everyone thinks Mikasa knows karate, or [[AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu Kung Fu,]] or whatever.
26	* AllMenArePerverts: The only way Mikasa could convince everyone to get to safety in Trost was to [[MotivationalLie promise to have sex with the first one that made it to the castle]].
27	** To be fair, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer it worked on all the women, too]].
28	* AllWomenAreLustful: It wasn't long after Eren was eaten that Mikasa moved on to what she called the "Casanova Titan." Season 2 reveals that Krista regularly hosts all-girl orgies that a large portion of the female cast partakes in, as well.
29	* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Though understandable that this is an abridged series, but the webisodes contain many references to real life events and media such as anime shows (Neon Genesis), historical figures albeit with confusion (Gahndi, Adolf Hitler), fantasy books (Harry Potter) abd more despite taking place in the AOT universe. In Mikasa’s flashback one of the kidnappers talks about the Internet and insists that there are “millions” of Asians, though his partner insists there aren’t a million of anyone and asks what the Internet is. So is this an alternate universe like the show? A distant future? Or did things like [=WW2=] and forms if media happen despite the titans roaming the earth?
30	* AmbiguousGender: Armin, to Reiner at least. Reiner even hits on him when they first meet.
31	* BadBoss: Levi considers a great tea party with his squad to be no one talking back when he sits there and insults all of them. He's also abusive to Eren and treats Petra like crap.
32	* BerserkButton: Titans for Eren, as well as Hannes being his [[InsistentTerminology potential]] father (or Gingers, in general).
33	%%* BigBrotherAttraction: Mikasa towards Eren.
34	* BigDamnHeroes: Christa's timely arrival snaps Reiner out of his brainwashing and saves Jean from being killed by him.
35	* BigEater: Sasha even more then the original series, to the point she questions if she can eat the Titan vomit.
36	* BrokenPedestal: Eren eventually gives Levi a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech after all the crap Levi puts them through.
37	* ByTheEyesOfTheBlind: Only Eren can hear titans talk.
38	%%* ButchLesbian: Ymir constantly hits on Krista.
39	* CaptainOblivious: Sasha thinks that storks bring people their children. Interestingly she does apparently know how sex works - the same episode has her offer herself to Krista in exchange for food - just not that children result from it.
40	* CatchPhrase: "POUNDTOWN", for Reiner. "Pixis Likes" and "Call me Pixis" for Dot Pixis.
41	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: After the Trost Arc, Jean has mostly moved away from being a smarmy douchebag with dreams of imperialism and become more of a beleaguered OnlySaneMan. Though this could be chalked up to spending most of his time stuck with [[TheStoner Reiner]] and [[CreepyChild Armin]].
42	* CloudCuckooLander:
43	** Sasha talks to trees, sniffs markers, wants to eat Titan puke, and thinks that babies come from the stork regardless of sexual intercourse.
44	%%** Krista is pretty out there as well.
45	%%** Ascot Man is a sadistic and violent one.
46	%%** Erwin is also a bizarre man. According to Petra, just about everyone associated with Levi's team is this.
47	%%* ClusterFBomb: EVERY-[[HypocriticalHumor FUCKING]]-ONE.
48	%%* CrapsackWorld: Arguably even more so than the original.
49	* CompanionCube: Jean's suit vest, which "talks" to him in a high-pitched voice and gives him emotional support.
50	* CreepyChild: '''''ARMIN.''''' Nearly every scene has him make at least one comment which is [[CloudCuckooLander bizarre]] at best and outright Lovecraftian at worst.
51	%%* CuteBruiser: Annie is sexy, GOD DAMN IT!
52	%%* CuteWitch: Krista, though it remains to be seen if she has actual magic powers and isn't merely [[IRejectYourReality insane]].
53	* DeusExMachina: Same as in the original series, with respect to Eren's [[PlotArmor convenient superpower manifestation.]] Here, it was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in episode 10.
54	-->'''Armin:''' So, [[OralFixation sucking your thumb]] [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening transforms you into a superhero?]]\
55	'''Eren:''' Yeah, basically.\
56	'''Armin:''' Holy [[TitleDrop deus ex machina]].
57	* DieOrFly: Mikasa. [[WouldHurtAChild Ascot Man's]] death was only the beginning.
58	%%* DirtyOldMan: Pixis.
59	* DoubleStandard: Military authorities don't seem to have a high view of women.
60	** Mikasa is recognized by Shardis as a tactical genius, and could very well be the hero that saves humanity in its darkest hour, but he fails her anyway because she's a woman.
61	** Levi tells Petra to knit a sweater during the Trost campaign, and generally disrespects her for being female.
62	* DrillSergeantNasty: Shardis, even more than in the original.
63	* {{Emo}}: Mikasa always wears her scarf, because it warms the [[ThereAreNoTherapists darkness of her soul]].
64	* EmotionallyTongueTied: Mikasa froze up pretty bad when Zackley asked if she loved Eren.
65	* EvilVersusEvil: [[TheAntiChrist Armin]] and [[TheUsurper Kitz's]] showdown in episode 10, deciding once and for all, who is the most "fucked up" human being.
66	* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Armin. There are enough examples to merit their own page.
67	* FieryRedhead: Potentially Eren; if Hannes is his father, he certainly fits the bill.
68	* FrenchJerk: Jean.
69	--> '''Jean:''' "My name is Jean. [[MeaningfulName It's French for "douchebag!"]]
70	* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Levi is listing off the various things he's run away from in his life, he mentions "some guy I know named Kenny."
71	* GangInitiationFight: Levi beats the crap out of Eren in lieu of a formal graduation into the Survey Corps.
72	* HistoricalInJoke: Armin wants to be a globe-trotting explorer and cartographer, just like his hero, [[AdolfHitlarious Adolf Hitler]].
73	* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: As stated above, Eren and Armin become convinced Adolf Hitler was an admirable explorer after reading ''Literature/MeinKampf''.
74	%%* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Carla. Eren does not take this well.
75	%%* ImaginaryFriend: Suit Vest, Mr. Whiskers.
76	* InsaneTrollLogic: Carla was a prostitute and slept with Hannes. Somehow this is the Titans' fault.
77	* InTheBlood: Eren's trial is first derailed by everyone's obsession with screwing his mom, and then by Mikasa's obsession with screwing ''him''.
78	* JerkAss: [[TheNeidermeyer Shardis]], [[AssholeVictim Ascot Man]], Eren, Darius Zackley, Levi, Pastor Nick, the list goes on.
79	* JiveTurkey: Some of the Titans talk like this.
80	* KissingInATree: Given a fun twist by Pastor Nick in Episode 14.
81	-->'''Pastor Nick:''' EREN AND MIKASA,\
82	SITTING IN A TREE,\
83	F-U-C-K-I-N-G!
84	* LimitBreak: The climax of Armin's shouting match with Kitz.
85	** And again in Episode 17 when, after trying and failing multiple times to win the Female Titan's affections, Armin becomes the wrathful Crimson King.
86	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Eren serves this function for both Mikasa and his father. (In episode six, Eren's father turns to him for emotional support when he discovers Mikasa's cabin, then again later when he says he's afraid of the dark.)
87	* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Reiner claims that he can't get an erection unless someone is watching.
88	* LookBehindYou: Briefly, Petra tries to make Eren look at a squirrel when he starts catching on to her feelings for Levi.
89	* LoveMartyr: Petra puts up with a lot of crap for Levi's affection, which he most assuredly does not give her. She eventually gives up on him.
90	* LukeIMightBeYourFather: Hannes, to Eren. It's what [[SkewedPriorities kickstarts]] Eren's decision to get to the basement that also happens to hold the secret of defeating the Titans.
91	* MadonnaWhoreComplex: Eren is obsessed with maintaining his mother's "purity" and is horrified by the reveal that she was a prostitute who slept with Hannes, among many others. He swears revenge on the Titans since if they hadn't attacked, he wouldn't have found out and [[InsaneTrollLogic therefore, it retroactively would not have happened.]]
92	* ManchurianAgent: During training, Armin captured Reiner one night and subjected him to intense torture and brainwashing. When Jean later tries to leave Armin behind for trying to sacrifice them to the Female Titan, Armin activates Reiner's sleeper programming and tries to have him kill Jean.
93	* MeaningfulName:
94	** Jean states that his name is French for "douchebag".
95	** In the credits, Kitz Weilman's surname is written as "Vermin", which matches his claim to be the most fucked up human being on the planet.
96	* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Eren tends to go on rants whenever he gets hurt, usually claiming that he's leaking spinal fluid.
97	* MusclesAreMeaningful: Reiner has taken a ton of steroids in order to obtain his physique, but…
98	* MusclesAreMeaningless: Mikasa doesn't need muscles to have man strength.
99	* MySisterIsOffLimits: Eren is protective of Mikasa whenever anyone (namely Jean) shows interest in her.
100	* MythologyGag: During the battle of Trost, several of the trainees, plus Connie, start huffing their gas supply and then make horse-related jokes about Jean.
101	* NeverMyFault: When things go south in the Trost campaign, Jean muses that it's time for him to evaluate all of his life choices that brought him to that point. He still blames Eren.
102	* NewAgeRetroHippie: Hanna and Franz who are convinced the Titans can be defeated with the power of love.
103	* NightmareFetishist: Armin is really, ''really'' fucked up.
104	* NoIndoorVoice: Shardis shouts almost the entire time whenever he's shown onscreen.
105	* NotSoAboveItAll: While Petra admits that the Survey Corps members working with Levi tend to be freaky weirdos, her brand of weirdness is a bit more subtle. Namely, she has a disturbingly detailed knowledge of Levi's odd cleaning habits (which she calls "choreplay"), and she's apparently a heinous bitch if she doesn't get her pumpkin spice latte.
106	* OnlySaneMan: Eren realizes too late that joining Levi's team in the Survey Corps is basically getting surrounded by a huge gang of maniacs. He otherwise averts this, as he's a JerkAss with InsaneTrollLogic most of the time, while Mikasa is usually the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] to him and [[CreepyChild Armin]].
107	** Petra admits that everyone there is a complete weirdo, but she herself seems pretty normal by comparison. If nothing else, she's definitely this to Erwin when he's giving a speech.
108	** Jean later becomes this after Trost. Besides his belief Marco ascended to a higher plane (which, given the other weirdness that's happened, isn't out of the question), he becomes the most normal of the group and exasperatedly ends up serving as the voice of reason to balance out [[TheStoner Reiner]] and [[CreepyChild Armin]]'s eccentricities.
109	* OralFixation: Eren claims to have one after sucking his thumb while asleep in the first episode. This reappears when [[spoiler:Eren finds he has the ability to turn into a Titan.]]
110	* ParodyReligion: Armin worships Muhatma Gandhi, the wrathful god of war.
111	* {{Polyamory}}: Sasha mentions that people in her village have multiple wives.
112	* RaceFetish: Everyone wants a piece of Mikasa's Asian ass.
113	* RaceNameBasis: Connie is often called names like "Bean Burrito" or "Chihuahua".
114	* RaisedByWolves:
115	** Annie was apparently raised by woodland critters until she was six years old.
116	** Inverted by Sasha when Shardis states he had left her for dead several times in the forest, only for the wolves to bring her back because they didn't want her.
117	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Eren gives a massive one to Levi after Levi insists on running away from the Female Titan like a coward and insults Petra while doing so, calling him out on all the shit he puts them all through.
118	--> '''Levi''': Was I Batman?\
119	''Eren''': NO! You were never Batman! You're a miserable pathetic failure, wrapped in self-hatred and loathing dying a cold death alone IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!
120	* RedBaron: Armin dubs himself "The Crimson King" in Episode 17.
121	* RedHeadedStepchild: EVERYONE hates [[EvilRedhead gingers]], and Eren's fear of his own lineage with respect to whether or not he's of ginger ancestry is a [[BerserkButton continuing punchline.]]
122	* RefugeInAudacity: Practically 90% of Armin and Shardis' dialogue can be described as this.
123	* RousingSpeech: Pixis delivers one to motivate the soldiers at Trost. Unfortunately it gets ruined when all that alcohol catches up with him and he rains vomit down on them.
124	** Armin gives one to Jean when Jean refuses to cooperate with him and Reiner to stop the Female Titan. [[spoiler:He doesn't really mean what he's saying, he's just trying to manipulate Jean into being a pawn in his plan so he can flirt with her]].
125	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Due to growing up with nothing but Mein Kampf to read, Eren and Armin express a few pro-Nazi beliefs. Armin's first reaction to Eren's presumed death is blame the Jews.
126	* SanityBall: Eren is normally an asshole with a bizarre thought process, but he's the OnlySaneMan compared to the rest of Levi's team.
127	* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: In episode 7 when all looks bleak, everyone but Jean decides to get high on gas.
128	* SexForSolace: In Episode 18 when Petra says she will sleep with Eren after Levi states she can’t do better than him, which finally pushes Petra over the edge after having put up with his shit for so long.
129	* SexGoddess:
130	** Carla is one, according to everyone but Eren.
131	** Christa (by extension Ymir) is probably one too, as she constantly runs and attends orgy sex parties.
132	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Petra and Levi deny having a romantic relationship when Eren inquires about it, though Levi doesn't really know what they were talking about.
133	* ShoutOut:
134	** Shardis' nickname for Sasha is [[Film/FullmetalJacket Private Pyle]].
135	** Another example of this trope occurs in episode 11:
136	-->'''Eren:''' I'm gonna be the best, like no one ever was!\
137	'''Mikasa:''' [[LampshadeHanging That's Pokémon.]]\
138	'''Eren:''' IT'S APPLICABLE TO TITANS!
139	** During what Armin claims to be "acid flashbacks," he starts uttering a string of nonsense, including [[Literature/ThatWasThenThisIsNow feeling little spiders crawling out from his belly button.]]
140	** There are a lot of references to ''Literature/HarryPotter''.
141	*** The former Survey Corps HQ is apparently Hogwarts Castle. They don't know much about it other than a lot of people died back in the day.
142	*** Levi tells the team to call him, "Dumbledore" as they clean up the HQ.
143	*** When Hanji is informed that Sawney and Bean are dead, the messenger screws up and initially says that, "somebody has stolen the [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Philosopher's Stone]]."
144	*** Armin sees a black signal flare during Operation Space Rainbow and he thinks that it marks the return of Voldemort.
145	*** Levi initially thinks so as well, before remembering the return of Voldemonrt is the purple flare.
146	*** As the aristocrats behind Wall Sina discuss TheReveal that [[spoiler:Eren can turn into a Titan]], one of them reading the newspaper says this.
147	--> '''Aristocrat''': Holy shit, [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Sirius Black]]'s on the loose.
148	*** When a member of the Survey Corps gets punted by the Female Titan, someone announces "Ten points for Gryffindor!" The Female Titan is not pleased.
149	--> '''Female Titan''': Hufflepuff represent!
150	** During the Trost mission, after Eren gets knocked out, a soldier tries [[CallingYourAttacks yelling]] out, "[[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Kame-Hame-Ha]]'', then mentions that it always works for Creator/TeamFourStar.
151	* SiblingRivalry: Eren and Mikasa, much moreso than in canon (at least on Eren's part) - it doesn't help that Eren was apparently the black sheep of the Jaeger household. This escalates to the point where when Eren [[spoiler:punches Mikasa in a rage while in Titan form]], his motive is changed from "[[spoiler:kill Mikasa]] because I had no clear objective" to "[[spoiler:kill Mikasa]] for babying me."
152	* SonOfAWhore: Eren. His shame over this becomes his primary motivation to defeat the Titans.
153	* StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale: Mikasa and Eren.
154	-->'''Eren:''' What happened last night?\
155	'''Mikasa:''' Well, you fell asleep early, Armin started huffing glue until he passed out, and I decided to finally get some rest, and ended the night by... [[BreadEggsMilkSquick staring into your eyes]].\
156	''{{beat}}''\
157	'''Eren:''' That's gay.
158	* StrangelyArousing: Armin seeing his comrades getting eaten by Titans while "Careless Whisper" plays in the background certainly signifies this. Annie is confused as to why she's aroused by Eren beating up Jean.
159	%%* StrawFeminist: Annie.
160	* TheStoner: ''Everyone'', though Armin and Reiner are the biggest drug users in the group, though Reiner mostly does steroids. Bert is also an EruditeStoner.
161	* SurpriseIncest: If the [[spoiler:Ackerman family tree]] is the same here as it is in ''Attack on Titan'', then [[spoiler:Levi showing an interest in Mikasa]] alludes to this trope.
162	* TeenyWeenie: Steroids have apparently taken their toll on Reiner.
163	* TheChessmaster: You just know this story will turn out to have been an account of Armin's ascent to supremacy.
164	--> '''Armin:''' You can achieve this. Fly, my pretties; fly!
165	* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: "PLEASE, call me ''Pixis''."
166	* TokenMinority: Mikasa is the only Asian, and Connie is the only Latino.
167	* UncleTomfoolery: Titans act in a manner consistent with this trope, despite their apparent lack of race. The only Titans who don't act like this instead act like [[DeepSouth rednecks]].
168	* UnholyMatrimony: Armin wants to make the Female Titan his dark queen.
169	* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Mikasa always gets rejected whenever she shows any sort of romantic attraction towards Eren. Eren's most common response is to call Mikasa gay when she brings it up, such as when Mikasa asked him to [[MotivationalKiss kiss her for luck]] before going to battle.
170	* WhatTheHellHero: "Hero" is a bit of a stretch, but Jean calls Armin out on risking his and Reiner's lives[[note]]and by risking, we mean literally attempting to offer them as sacrifices[[/note]] just for a chance to flirt with the Female Titan.
171	* WideEyedIdealist:
172	** Hanna and Franz qualify, as they believe they can stop Titans with "free love".
173	** Marco was already this in canon but he takes it up to eleven here, becoming a messianic figure who wishes to bring peace to all.
174	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: It's a well-known fact that Pixis is [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] insane.
175	* WomenAreDelicate: Inverted between Mikasa and Armin. This is called attention to in episode 10.
176	-->'''Armin:''' But why don't you go, yourself? You're better at everything anyway!\
