Web Animation / Eltorro64Rus

The face of the madness.

Eltorro64Rus is a Russian Garry's Mod video creator. His videos contain a plethora of Deranged Animation and Random Event Plots, in the vein of RubberFruit.

His alternate channel is here, where he posts his self-composed music and early projects, as well as other stuff not suitable for the main channel (like a how-to video for his GMod animations). He also has a Twitter if you want to keep up with some updates.

---

Tropes that appear in his videos:

• Absurd Phobia: For someone named Invincible Nightmare, he sure is afraid of bottles^{For context...}In Gravity Fails, there are multiple weapons on display, most being BFS, but the RED Scout ends up picking a random bottle from a trash can as his weapon to deal with Invincible Nightmare.
• After the End: Most of Ten Thousand Years Of Evolution takes place 1,000 years after a nuclear explosion.
• All Deserts Have Cacti: Oasis, though there's only one cactus on-screen.
• Alliterative Name:
  • All the named RED Snipers (including the titular character) in Baseball Bibbins's Day Off have their names start with B (Balbo Biggins, Bablo Brabbins, Barple/Barbell Bapkins).
  • Continuing the B theme, there's also Blasbo Babbins (also a RED Sniper) in Space Fortress (Season 2 Episode 17).
• Alternate Reality Episode: Prop Fortress, where the human characters are weapons/items/props of their respective now-living props. Also, capture points now chase down players and capture them. This even extends to Eltorro's logo in the outro, a joke which may confuse first-time viewers of the channel.
• Ambiguously Evil: RED Medic in Box of Cox, laughing devilishly with frames of him with a wicked smile placed after the suffering of his fellow mercenaries. He also stabs RED Heavy in the eye, which causes him to seemingly be paralyzed and his textures to degrade.
• An Arm and a Leg:
  • The RED Heavy has both of his legs stolen by a RED Engineer in Heavy is Bacon.
  • Near the end of Radio, the RED Engineer ends up losing all of his limbs and getting replaced with wrenches.
  • In the beginning of Space Fortress (Season 2 Episode 17), the RED Heavy has his right leg ripped off. Thankfully, it was quickly restored by a RED Engineer.
• Animate Inanimate Object:
  • The Solemn Vow (a stone bust) seems to be this in Meet The Pyro, going by how its expression changes.
  • The Mount Rushmore lookalike in Lazy Mountain is apparently alive.
  • TV!Soldier's Pocket Medic (a Medic doll) suddenly comes alive to warn him of incoming danger in TV.
  • All the props associated with their human counterparts in Prop Fortress are this. So, a Sentry builds an Engineer who is then sapped by a nearby Sapper using a Spy.
• Artistic License – Animal Care: In Desert, Demoman feeds Scout's horse with a Dalokohs Bar (a bar of chocolate, which can be toxic to horses). It's not in large amounts, but the potential danger is still there.
• Artistic License – Biology: Like in Animal Crossing, bananas grow on what appears to be a palm tree in Oasis and consist only of a comb instead of a big bunch held by a stalk. However, considering where the tree is, it might be intentional.
• Art Shift: In Ten Thousand Years Of Evolution, the ending segment has a scene that's more at home in a Synthwave music video, with the cyborg Sniper solemnly driving off into the distance towards a shining city. It is immediately followed by a dressed-up-as-a-woman Sentry Buster beginning its detonation sequence before cutting to the credits.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Heavy, in one sad moment in Scout's Amazing Adventures, ends up being distracted by an extremely expensive watch on the BLU Soldier's severed limb. After taking it, he continues mourning.
• Author Avatar: A RED Engineer with a train engineer's cap. He appears mostly in older videos, though he is still used as his YouTube icon.
• Back from the Dead:
  • Grandpa Sniper gets revived from his grave in Gravity Fails thanks to an accidental magic blast.
• Bait-and-Switch:
  • Soldier's "death" in Desert. It first builds up as a Super Mario Bros.-esque death (thanks to the familiar "bloop" sound from said series) for a few seconds, but instead his death animation ends up resembling the one in Adventure Island instead (complete with the music).
  • In Full of sandwiches, what appears to be an Eye Poke attempt (complete with Scout panicking) done by Demoman ends up with him capturing the mini-capture points that suddenly replace Scout's eyes. Scout thanks him for it.
  • In TV, the Engineer (and the viewer) looks at the Soldier on the couch when the latter calls him. Said Soldier remains still, and it turns out that the "real" Soldier is the one in the TV.
• Balloon Belly:
  • In The Gift, the RED Heavy suffers from this (after swallowing two people and a machine) before exploding.
  • The BLU Scout instantly gains this from just eating one loaf of bread in Bread Land.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: In Box Of Cox, Scout asks for fire (presumably to cook the mushrooms in front of him) from the "wish anything" crate. What he gets is a lantern that lands on his body, causing him to burn in flames. Doubles as a Call-Back to the prequel video Drugs, where he's implied to hallucinate himself dying from fire.
• Behind a Stick: A thin BLU Spy in TV emerges from behind a lamp that's even thinner than him.
• BFS: RED Scout's chosen weapon from those provided to deal with BLU Scout in the final battle of Gravity Fails after the broken bottle the former has gets taken away by an eagle.
• Big "NO!":
  • The RED Scout (now Pyro) at the end of Meet The Pyro. Doubles as a Shout-Out to Star Wars.
  • In Scout's Amazing Adventures, the RED Heavy shouts a long one when he and Spy encounter the Dr's Dapper Topper-wearing BLU Soldier until he's slapped by Spy. Later, both RED Spy and Heavy shout the same way as earlier when they suddenly encounter RubberFruit.
• The Blank: Near the end of Radio, the RED Engineer is attacked by a group of faceless Snipers.
• Bookends: Scout, before and after his amazing adventures, sits with Spy and plays with knives.
• Brick Joke:
  • In Scout's Amazing Adventures, the RED Heavy stole the BLU Soldier's $400,000 watch as part of his "Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!" moment. Near the end of the last part, Heavy is shown wearing it... on his middle finger.
  • During the "island" part of Island, Napoleon Scout's ship gets launched away after an explosion. During the Dance Party Ending, said ship lands on the RED team's base, turning it into an Everything Explodes Ending.
  • Early in Where is Scout's Mom?, a RED Soldier is killed by the BLU Heavy. The penultimate scene shows his spirit (complete with a Holy Halo) in the sky.
  • In TV, the "brain dead" Soldier (and his couch) gets launched away by a kicked Dispenser. Near the end of the video, the couch and the Soldier fly back to his spot, crashing into both Demoman and TV!Soldier who happen to be there.
• Burning with Anger: In Scout's Amazing Adventures, the BLU Soldier, after noticing that RubberFruit remains unflinching even after the former swiped away the latter's hat (he wears another one instead), has steam coming out of his ears.
• Butt-Monkey: In earlier videos, Scout was on the receiving end of most of the slapstick.
• Call-Back:
  • Wormhole buckets are used in the finale of Scout's Amazing Adventures. The same animation of Spy popping out of a bucket is also used in said part, albeit it's the RED Spy instead of the BLU one.
  • The Pocket Scout returns in Radio and Full of sandwiches.
  • Inside Medic's patient room near the end of Scout's Amazing Adventures, there are X-ray images of a Pyro (which shows a Scout with a lightbulb stuck in his mouth, referencing Eltorro's Meet The Pyro) and a cancerous Jarate (Halloween 2012 in a nutshell).
  • Box Of Cox is a sequel to Drugs, so naturally some references to the past video can be seen.
    • The return of the "Not Medicine" drug.
    • Scout dying from fire, only this time for real.
    • Heavy being chased by the small Idiot Box robot, who was last seen during his "Schadenfreude" hallucination.
  • Oasis is implied to take place in the same desert as the one in Desert, as the underground Demoman makes another appearance there, now with the interior view of his home shown to viewers.
  • A few characters from past videos^note Explorer Demoman, Napoleon Scout, Grandpa Sniper reappear in Space Fortress: The Tumbleweed Awakens Trailer 2015 (Just Parody).
  • Not Medicine returns again for a one scene gag in Bloody Bodybuilding.
• Captain Obvious: In Gravity Fails:
  Orange Spy: This is a bucket.
  RED Scout: (head still covered with bucket) Yeah, that's right.
• Chirping Crickets: The tumbleweed variant in Steam Group, emphasizing the sudden lack of people and the also sudden neighbourhood silence outside Eltorro's house. Note that the "tumbleweed" here is just a bush graphic animated like a blown tumbleweed.
• Coconut Meets Cranium: In Oasis, not coconut, but bananas. Which apparently grows on the palm tree that the poor Demoman crashes into.
• Couch Gag: Sometimes, the outro reflects the ending of a video, such as with Prop Fortress as every element of the outro has switched places.
• Deader than Dead: The poor Engineer in Gravel Poot. First, he got his soul punched out of his body by Heavy's ghost. After failing to recover his body (thanks to an enemy Sniper headshotting him from afar), Heavy pushes the already-ghost Engineer away, causing him to fall and die again, releasing another ghost.
• Dead-Hand Shot: Early in Ten Thousand Years of Evolution, Sniper watches a nuke go off and doesn't get to finish eating his hotdog before knocked away by the blast wave. The next shot is of a skeletonized hand sticking out of the sand reaching for a hot dog, but it's subverted in that Sniper is revealed to have actually survived the nuke.
• Delayed Reaction: At the beginning of Scout's Amazing Adventures, it took a few seconds for Scout to suffer any sort of effect after stabbing himself with a Spycicle during a Five-Finger Fillet game. Further still, the Spycicle takes 22 seconds to freeze him, instead of instantly as it does in-game.
  • Later, Heavy is left staring dumbfoundedly after turning on the radio while the BLU Soldier (who is in front of him) freaks out and explodes into Ludicrous Gibs near Scout, leaving the latter's head as his only remnant. Only after Spy kicked the radio away did the Heavy realize that the two people in front of him have died. Not really. Scout's head is still alive for some reason, while the BLU Soldier reassembles himself later on.
• Demonic Possession: Happens to Scout in Scout's Amazing Adventures complete with his arms and legs being bent backwards and his head turning a full 180 degrees and walks that way.
• Determinator: The BLU Soldier in Scout's Amazing Adventures won't stop and surrender Scout's charred body to the RED Spy and Heavy. This is even more so with his "body part reassemble" ability, and despite Scout's head being what's left of him.
• Devoured by the Horde: An injured moose in Natural selection ends up being devoured into nothing but a pool of blood by bats and doves.
• Digging to China: In Gravity Fails, the RED Scout gets pushed through the ground by the tree he's holding onto after Heavy chopped it down. He ends up in what appears to be Japan.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Smallineer is thrown into Mount Rushmore after calling Grandpa Sniper ugly.
• Distressed Dude: Scout during his amazing adventures, starting from the encounter against the BLU Soldier. It doesn't help that he prefers to run away from his allies after his fiery fate thanks to Heavy.
• Dramatic Red Samurai Background: In Gravity Fails, a variation of this trope appears at the end of the RED and BLU Scouts' anime-style Single-Stroke Battle, appearing as a pink background with Speed Stripes and cherry blossom petals while RED Scout slices through BLU's stomach, both rendered as white silhouettes.
• Duck Season, Rabbit Season: The exchange between the RED Heavy and RubberFruit in Scout's Amazing Adventures. The former seems to be aware of this trope, as he uses it to his advantage just so the latter ends up surrendering Scout.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Check out The Gift, the very first Eltorro GMod animation ever, and compare it to a later one, like, say... Gravity Fails. In-engine flailings are more common in the former and if there are any stop-motion parts, they tend to be much choppier compared to his newer works (the bizarreness still exists even in the older videos, though). Technology Marches On for Garry's Mod and as Eltorro keeps improving on stop-motion. Thus, the animation quality has reached the level you've seen today.
  • For a character-specific example, Medic Soldier as depicted in his debut (Soldier Thinks He's A Medic) looks more like a Medic-wannabe Soldier, complete with a line fitting him ("Doktoberfest, maggot!", his only spoken line), he isn't completely stiff as a board, and it's implied that he has no "treatment" method. Fast-forward to Heavy is Bacon, and Medic Soldier becomes a creepy doctor with a Thousand-Yard Stare who simply slides along the ground on his stiff feet to move around. In fact, his entire body (except his face, but only during his "treatment") is now stiff. His infamous "wasp" treatment debuted in that video too. Zig-Zagged a bit, though, considering that after the latter video, Medic Soldier is shown with the former behaviour in Dat Engineer (later release date) before reverting back to his creepy behaviour in Meet The Pyro.
• Easter Egg: Starting from Dat Engineer, Luigi becomes a recurring hidden character in later videos, Freeze-Frame Bonus-style.
• Everything Explodes Ending:
  • The Mount Rushmore lookalike explodes at the end of Lazy Mountain after Smallineer gets thrown into it, destroying everyone and the titular mountain of this video's setting.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin:
  • A video about how Soldier drank petrol instead of water. is a video about... Soldier mistakenly drinking petrol instead of water.
  • About how the Soldier kill Scout (sic) is a video about... how Soldier kills Scout.
• Exact Words: Button has Demoman (later Captain Demo) sticking a "Kick ME!" paper on Soldier's back. The Soldier just goes along with it, following the exact "instruction".
• Extreme Omnivore:
  • In Baseball Bibbins's Day Off, the RED Scout doesn't drink. He eats the bottle.
  • In Pissmas Miracle, one of the spies takes a big bite out of a wine bottle.
• Eye Pop:
  • In Gravity Fails, the RED Scout's eyes pop out through the bucket when he encounters the orange Spy.
  • The BLU Spy's "Oh, Crap!" reaction in Hardhat when a dove (presumably Archimedes) is about to snatch him out of the mud.
  • The Soldier!Boot suddenly sports cartoony eyes when he and Demoman!Stickybomb are going to be attacked by Heavy!Sandvich in Prop Fortress.
• Face Death with Dignity: Sniper's reaction to seeing a mushroom cloud in Ten Thousand Years of Evolution is to mutter out a swear, then quickly finish what he thinks will be his last meal before the blast wave hits him. Subverted as it's revealed that the Sniper was blasted into a fridge.
• Fat and Proud: The RED Heavy in Bread Land.
  RED Heavy: I AM FATTEST MAN IN HISTORY OF FATTEST MANS!
• Fear Is the Appropriate Response: Scout against an enemy Heavy in Where is Scout's Mom?.
  BLU Heavy: (throws RED Soldier into the sky)
  (Soldier explodes, Beat)
  BLU Heavy: (to Scout) You are next!
  (another Beat)
  RED Scout: AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (gets glomped by Heavy before escaping)
• Fingore: The travelling Demoman in Oasis touches a cactus... followed by a close-up of his actually-injured hand, with a bleeding finger being the part that touches the plant. Ouch.
• Five-Finger Fillet: Scout tries this with a Spycicle in Scout's Amazing Adventures. It goes pretty well until the Bonk wears off.
• Food Eats You: In Prop Fortress, the Sandvich eats Heavy. Then again, this is an Alternate Reality Episode...
• Forced Transformation: The orange Spy gets turned into a giant pumpkin after the RED Scout dodged the undead Soldier's magic in Gravity Fails.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: The ending of Baseball Bibbins's Day Off has Medic's Medi Gun sucking up both the doves and the viewer.
• Freeze-Frame Bonus:
  • How the viewers can spot Luigi in videos post-Dat Engineer.
  • Some random unique items or characters hidden in certain videos can only be spotted this way as well.
  • Even joke text (hilariously edited in-map text) can only be seen very briefly.
• Friendly Enemy: The Medic Soldier, who belongs to the BLU team, often helps out the RED team whenever a RED Medic is unable to solve a given medical problem or if a Medic is required when there are no regular Medics nearby. His treatment is another story...
• Gainax Ending: Eltorro's bread and butter, aside from Random Events Plot.
  • His very first video, The Gift, begins with Engineer receiving the titular gift and ends with a shot of a telephone as Heavy's only remnant after exploding.
  • Sandwich begins with Heavy trying to eat the titular meal (which is then stolen by a Scout who also managed to tear his arm off) and seems to end normally with Heavy finally getting to eat the sandwich... but it actually ends with Heavy's head shrinking and then reappearing as a huge sandwich after he does so.
  • Notch playing Minecraft is mostly straightforward until the end shows Notch/Heavy getting sucked up by a bucket outside his room.
  • Soldier Thinks He's A Medic begins with the titular situation... and ends with Medic Soldier and the Demoman colliding with each other, which results in a brief explosion that kills both.
  • Another successful procedure, meanwhile, has a Gainax Beginning (as well as this, naturally). It begins with RED Engineer's teammates (and a disguised BLU Spy, plus Horseless Headless Horsemann) happily riding a train to their deaths, followed by the Title Drop, then later it ends with the only survivor of the train scene (Horseless Headless Horsemann) having some of his bones stolen by a respawned RED Spy who then simply quips, "Excellent!"
  • Heavy is Bacon starts with Heavy getting bothered by an Engineer (briefly), who then proceeds to steal his legs ("Bacon!"). It ends with Heavy's head getting turned into a stone bust after Medic Soldier's bizarre "treatment".
  • Baseball Bibbins's Day Off at first seems to focus on the titular character (a RED Sniper) skipping the roll call. However, it ends with more "injured Scout" antics and Medic's Medi Gun sucking up both the doves and the viewer.
  • Dat Engineer, while it has a clear plot, ends with a RED Heavy randomly sliding towards a Sandvich (one of the leftovers after RubberFruit stole the others), tasting it briefly, and saying, "Delicious."
  • Button begins with Demoman tipping over a bucket (which contains a remote control with the titular object). Said object becomes a Red Herring and the "plot" moves on without it. The video ends with Engineer reciting the first step of Soldier's Penal Zone activation.
  • Radio, already bizarre as it is, also has this. The beginning involves the titular object (both the radio carried by the RED Heavy and (presumably) the Robo-Sandvich (which plays Zombies on Your Lawn)). How does it end? Why, it ends with a random Soldier saying "Beep." followed by dramatic music playing, of course.
  • Full of sandwiches is like Button as both have the titular object/reference getting ditched shortly after being shown/mentioned in the early scenes in favor of a Random Events Plot. In this case, it ends with Robot Medic getting stuck on a log in the middle of a lake.
  • The best medicine is... begins with a heartwarming tale of a Medic riding a bicycle with an ice cream-loving Scout as his passenger. It somehow ends with a giant watermelon rolling over them.
  • Not A Real Soldier begins with Heavy popping out from a box, spouting mostly gibberish stuff, then getting kicked far away by a Scout (who then conveniently looks as if he's saluting, thus the Title Drop coming from a Soldier who spotted him). It ends with this random announcement:
  "Rochelle has fallen to the box."
  • Oasis is mostly about the adventures of a travelling Demoman who gets lost in the desert. The ending scene ditches all that in favor of a Sniper falling through a thin asphalt when he's trying to cross the street. There, he meets an underground-dwelling Demoman (not the same as the travelling one) whose only offer to help is in the form of Dalokohs Bar, frustrating him until a bus falls down on his body.
  • Lazy Mountain ends with the Mount Rushmore lookalike just randomly exploding after Sniper threw Smallineer into it.
  • Island starts out creepy, then funny. How to top this off? Dance Party Ending, followed with a Brick Joke.
  • Bread Land instantly reverts back into Upward before showing a shot of a strange tree as its ending. And that's after showing a brief scene featuring the BLU Scout just randomly flipping his entire body in place before getting hit by the minecart.
  • Ten Thousand Years of Evolution ends with the Sniper deciding to leave out of annoyance with the Demoman in a car, set to a Synthwave track. The Demoman is naturally confused by this sequence, and then a Sentry Buster falls over and is about to explode. Cut to the ElTorro64Rus logo right before it explodes.
• Gargle Blaster: RED Sniper's recipe for a "Christmas morning" in Box Of Cox. Well... the "drink" part of it anyway: A can of Bonk! (contains "radiation" as its ingredient), a bottle of Mad Milk (a weapon that's never meant to be drunk at all), a Jarate, and a bottle of scrumpy.
• Gonk: The faces of all the mercs are typically distorted beyond recognition. Eltorro even made their own modded versions of the TF2 cast with higher polycounts and enhanced facial rigging, which can feasibly make the cast take on all kinds of Pixar-esque faces... Or make them look absolutely inhuman.
• Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress:
  • One Scout stands on the roof of a building while the other stands on its wall at the beginning of Gravity Fails. What happens next is very obvious after the Scout standing on the wall asks "Gravity? Who gives a crap about gravity?" and the other says "Me!".
• Heaven Above: In Ten Thousand Years of Evolution, the cyborg Demoman shoots Pyro with a shotgun and tells them to go to heaven, as their corpse flies into a halo in the sky... which is actually labelled "hell".
• Heroic BSoD: The RED Heavy in Scout's Amazing Adventures suffers from this after Scout refuses to return to him and Spy and instead ends up being a Distressed Dude, again. During this state, Heavy can only lament his earlier mistake and will refuse any contact. He snaps out of it quickly, though.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: In BARBECUE, one of BLU Spy's plans involves swapping out RED Heavy's Buffalo Steak Sandvich with a rock disguised as said food. He succeeded, but the steak he got ends up being swapped again (by Pootis the dog) without him knowing. Cue broken teeth.
• Hope Spot: In Not A Real Soldier, Scout calls for help when Soldier is about to banish him into Penal Zone. Captain Demo shows up... then spontaneously throws Scout into the zone anyway.
• Idea Bulb:
  • The BLU Spy conjures one when he decides his first plan to get RED Heavy's Buffalo Steak Sandvich in BARBECUE. Said bulb is then put in his pocket.
  • The RED Scout in Meet The Pyro when he suddenly gets an idea. He then spots the mysteriously-conjured bulb and decides to shove it into his mouth in hopes of being able to generate another Unusual item. It gets stuck.
• I Drank WHAT?!: A video about how Soldier drank '''petrol''' instead of water. (EARRAEP COLLAB)
• "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Spy attempted this when he got spotted by Scout after thinking way too long whether to backstab him or not. Even in Demonic Possession, he still responds to Spy calling him. However, unknown to both of them, this buys enough time for Heavy to prepare a weapon to finish him off.
• Karmic Death: A weird and rare example of this happening to someone who is already dead. In Gravel Poot, the Engineer pushes the Scout to his death. At the other end of the video, the Heavy's ghost pushes the Engineer's ghost to his second death.
• Kitchen Sink Included: In Scout's Amazing Adventures, among RubberFruit's collection of random items in his Hammerspace, one of them is a kitchen sink.
• Laser-Guided Karma: In Hardhat, the RED Engineer accidentally drops his wrench, which ends up hitting his peers' heads (hurts more on the RED Spy, who briefly takes off his hard hat) and ruining a RED Medic's experiment. In the end, he first gets whacked on the head by the RED Medic with his wrench (now made into a makeshift sledgehammer) and then he gets a big cinder block dropped on his head by his peers.
• Level Ate: Bread Land, as you might have guessed, is made up of bread with some of it growing on trees.
• Mechanical Lifeforms: Momma in a Box treats buildings like wildlife animals, complete with Soldier having a children's book about buildings and Team Fortress Classic sentries being an endangered species.
• Mood Whiplash: Island starts out fairly creepy with a scene involving a badly-starving Demoman and a "dead" Scout. But once Napoleon Scout shows up, the video loses its Nightmare Fuel feel and becomes quirky, typical of Eltorro's other videos.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Invincible Nightmare. Too bad he's afraid of bottles.
• Neck Snap:
  • SCP-173 does this to itself when it ends up sleeping on a couch in Lazy Mountain.
• Never Trust a Title: Many videos are named after a certain subject mentioned/shown in the video only for the said subject to be ignored entirely. Hilarity can still ensue, regardless.
• No "Arc" in "Archery": Averted, surprisingly enough, near the end of Scout's Amazing Adventures. When Heavy fires the arrow, it's clear that it flies lower the longer it travels, which is why it landed on Possessed!Scout's knee.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis: Red Scout Redemption has the Saint of Killers Heavy, a murderous Heavy that makes it clear from the get-go that he's out for blood with little to no silliness to him.
• No One Should Survive That!: The Demoman somehow survived the nuke that kicks off Ten Thousand Years of Evolution with no ill effects whatsoever. When pressed by the cyborg Heavy...
  Heavy: But how did you survive?
  Demo: (shrugs) I was drunk!
• Not Quite Dead: The BLU Soldier in Scout's Amazing Adventures. Thought he was really dead? He's capable of reassembling his broken body parts to revive himself, and he won't stop until he wins the ownership of Scout.
• One-Hit KO: Kingpin Heavy knocks out Spider-Demoman in one Megaton Punch.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: Ghosts can have ghosts, like the aforementioned Engineer in Gravel Poot.
• Our Liches Are Different: The Undead Soldier in Gravity Fails. He's part zombie, part magician, part... Soldier. And despite excelling in firing magic blasts, he still fails to perform the Smoke Out trick.
• Out of Focus: Pyro and Medic get the least attention in his videos.
• Pathetic Drooping Weapon: In Heavy Weapons, two deformed Heavies are revving their miniguns at each other. A third Heavy appears to rev his own Tomislav minigun, though it doesn't make any notable revving sound, so the other Heavies do not appear to be impressed. To match the newfound embarrassment the third Heavy feels, his minigun's barrel droops in shame with him.
• Piano Drop: Three pianos in Scout's Amazing Adventures, among other things dropped onto Heavy's head (and Spy).
• Post-Climax Confrontation: RED Scout is the last opponent for RED Heavy & RED Spy, after BLU Soldier & Rubberfruit disposed of each other.
• Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: The undead Soldier in Gravity Fails pulls Max's Severed Head out of a hat. Scout is not appreciative of it.
• Pun:
  • A moment in Desert consists of puns just for the sake of it, thanks to the voice clips used.
    Scout: Aw, geez! (can be misheard as "cheese")
    (Cartoon Cheese appears in front of him)
    Soldier: No, siirrr! This is spider!
    (a spider with BLU Spy's head gets rid of his cheese disguise)
  • Oasis ends with a bus crashing down into Demoman's underground home. Freeze-Frame Bonus shows that it's driven by a Sentry Buster.
  • In Bread Land, a brief image of Pooh wearing a hat and a pair of boots can be seen on the Dispenser's monitor. The result? "Pooh's in Boots".
• Rake Take: One such trap appears in Full of sandwiches, with an axe attached to the end of its handle. When the RED Soldier predictably hits it, all he gets is just a mild headache.
• Random Events Plot: Almost every video. Radio, for example, opens with Scout and Heavy listening to some music; Scout hits a robo-sandwich with a cinderblock, which pisses Heavy off and scares Scout away. Engineer comes out of the cinderblock and bites Heavy's finger, causing him to shrink into nothing. A tiny spy sits on and steals the tiny chair Heavy was wearing on his head. Engineer rapidly builds a toilet with Spy's face, which gets stolen by a pocket Scout. A plank of wood scares Engineer, and while running away from it, he encounters an army of Snipers that replace his limbs with wrenches. With few exceptions (BARBECUE, Scout's Amazing Adventures), there's no way to predict what will happen after any given scene.
• Recurring Character:
  • Certain characters like Medic Soldier, Pocket Scout, and Grandpa Sniper tend to make appearances in later videos after their debut.
  • Luigi is the Easter Egg version, as he can only be found hiding in various sceneries or appearing in a split second.
• Refuge in Audacity: How did Demoman survive the nuclear explosion in Ten Thousand Years of Evolution? He was too drunk to notice it.
• Rump Roast: Happens off-screen, but the RED Soldier is implied to have burned his behind after he accidentally fell into his own fireplace in Box Of Cox.
• Running Gag: The poor RED Sniper getting run over in Red Scout Redemption; first by the payload, then by demoman, then by an anchor.
  RED Sniper: (after the third time) Stop it!
• Russian Reversal: Prop Fortress is entirely built around this. In total:
  • Sentry Guns build Engineers.
  • Sappers place Spies on Engineers to destroy them and disguise themselves as Destruction PDAs.
  • The Scout is now a Sandman ball.
  • The Medic is the weirdest example, having become a gurney with Medic-headed Medigun that screams at patients to heal them.
  • Stickybombs deploy Demoman traps, which collapse onto targets.
  • The Soldier is replaced with a boot.
  • Intercom noises are played through the Administrator's heads.
  • The Control Point captures you, not the other way around, as the Stickybomb finds out.
  • The Sandvich eats a Heavy who orders it to kill everyone.
  • The Sniper has become a giant Jarate.
• Schmuck Bait: Scout should've known better than follow a Sandvich attached to a rope during his amazing adventures... This lures him to the reassembled (sans right foot) BLU Soldier, who places him on the missing foot.
• Sensory Abuse: Every time a character does a high-volume, often distorted, scream.
  • A video about how Soldier drank petrol instead of water. (EARRAEP COLLAB). You've been warned.
• Shake Someone, Objects Fall: The BLU Soldier does this to RubberFruit in Scout's Amazing Adventures.
• Sheet of Glass: A pair of Engineers is seen carrying this in About how the Soldier kill Scout. Soldier managed to die from smacking into it.
• Shout-Out:
  • Starting from Dat Engineer, viewers will try to hunt down every single instance of "hidden Luigi" in the later videos.
  • Scout's Amazing Adventures:
    • "Heavy found a 'Spy'"
    • One fight moment against BLU Soldier is basically a scene-for-scene recreation of a fight against Biff in Back to the Future, complete with the music.
    • RubberFruit appears to take Scout's head.
    • Actually, most of Scout's Amazing Adventure Part 5 is this to RubberFruit.
    • Before changing into night time, a text box saying "WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE." is shown.
    • Heavy gets rid of Scout's Demonic Possession by firing an arrow at his knee.
  • Saying "soap" three times has a certain effect on Soldiers.
  • BARBECUE is inspired by old Tom and Jerry cartoons.
  • From the same video as mentioned above, Captain Price makes a brief appearance.
  • Full of sandwiches:
    • The Soldier's death by cactus plays out exactly like Minecraft, complete with Hit Flash and Everything Fades. This even extends to the dropped items, with this case being the Ullapool Caber.
    • Demoman's Eye Poke attempt looks just like what Troshkin does during the prison cell scene in an old Soviet film Gentlemen of Fortune.
  • The 11111 Subscribers video invokes the Uncharted 2 intro.
  • Eltorro has made a few Crossover videos:
    • Notch playing Minecraft
    • The Binding Of Heavy
    • Bliss, complete with Scout's face modified to resemble Matt's. Despite what the video description says, however, it ends with the usual "injured/dead Scout" shtick.
    • Space Fortress (Season 2 Episode 17) is an "episode" of the non-existent Space Fortress series, based on Star Trek: The Original Series.
    • Space Fortress: The Tumbleweed Awakens Trailer 2015 (Just Parody)
  • In Pocket Scout, Scout's iPad game makes Kirby sound effects.
  • In Desert, Soldier's death animation is the same as the Adventure Island protagonist's, complete with the same music.
  • Desert as a whole (minus the silly moments) is a reference to an old Soviet film called White Sun of the Desert, which explains why Scout is made stuck neck-deep in sand.
  • The Scout->Pyro sequence near the end of Meet The Pyro seems familiar...
  • A few My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic references:
    • At the end of Steam Group promo video: "Haha! The fun has been doubled!"
    • A more subtle one can be found in Gravity Fails, confirmed by Eltorro himself.^note The line below is similar to one moment in the show where Fluttershy said the same thing as the Engineer before smashing a bucket on Twilight Sparkle's head.
    RED Engineer: Your... face! (slams bucket on RED Scout's head before pushing him away)
  • Near the end of Halloween 2012 in a nutshell, RED Medic calls for a Chaos Marine.
  • Space Fortress (Season 2 Episode 17):
    • A RED Sniper is seen playing Dota 2. Meanwhile, a RED Demoman happens to lose a game of Minesweeper.
    • The Space Sphere can be seen floating in (where else?) outer space for a second.
    • Due to the voice clip used, Beast/Furry Soldier's crew are named after characters from The Lord of the Rings and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. As for Snoopy (the Peanuts character in this case), he appears as a wooden cut-out display.
    • The RED Scout is apparently playing DayZ (and loses).
  • In Oasis, a red heart-shaped object can be spotted in the background when the brief shot showing stuck-in-the-sand Engineers is shown.
    • Another Serious Sam reference: Notice the floating items when the shot zooms in to the BLU Scout before the battle. The same red heart is even included among them.
  • SCP-173 is seen relaxing (and then falling asleep, with a hilarious result on itself) alongside the elder RED mercenaries in Lazy Mountain. Later, a Creeper in a mine cart approaches the injured Soldier and explodes near him.
  • Gravity Fails:
    • When the RED Scout falls from the building in the beginning, he ends up landing on a Dispenser, squishing it, familiar sound effect included.
    • "INVINCIBLE NIGHTMARE! I CHOOSE YOU!" (cue BLU Scout unleashing the eponymous Engineer from his toolbox)
    • Shortly after the above, when the BLU Scout powers Invincible Nightmare up, the stats' HUD is the one from Hearthstone.
    • An assortment of weapons from various video games can be seen when the RED Scout decides on which weapon to use against Invincible Nightmare and BLU Scout.
    • In the end, the RED Scout absorbs the BLU Scout's soul and gains a Dragonborn Helmet.
    • The title is a reference to Gravity Falls.
  • Thomas & Friends (with Spy's face) appears in Where is Scout's Mom?.
  • Looking closely at the Dispenser's monitor in Bread Land shows that it displays an image of Pooh wearing a hat and a pair of boots, intended to be a pun of Puss in Boots.
  • Marge Simpson appears in the same video as mentioned above, but in the same vein as Luigi, she only appears in a scene very briefly and the viewers are required to scan a scene thoroughly just to find her.
  • TV:
    • The first Engineer scene is basically him reenacting Scrat's first scene in the first Ice Age.
    • Later, the same Engineer dodges TV!Soldier's thrown projectile by simply sliding to his side and then back again, complete with the "MISS" text and familiar-looking pose.
    • Near the end of the video, a hilariously skinny BLU Spy wearing a triangular paper hat^note Which is made from a page of a Team Fortress 2 comic, The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper comes out of his hiding, a tall lamp. It might be a reference to a moment in Undertale where the Player Character has to hide behind a lamp that is shaped like their sprite.
  • Ten Thousand Years Of Evolution:
    • Two headless Demomen holding bombs in each hand run into the scene from the hills and blow up the Scout and Medic bugs, taking the appearance of a Serious Sam Beheaded Kamikaze to do so.
    • At one point, a group of scouts that highly resemble the Starmen from EarthBound (1994) (alongside a single, actual Starman) show up announcing that they need fire.
• Shown Their Work: Watch the "solo battle" sequence in Scout's Amazing Adventures. Notice how every participant's fingers (including Heavy's) are properly animated and positioned on the bass guitar as if a real person actually plays the said instrument. Keep in mind that most Garry's Mod animations (mostly dominated by comedy) rarely put small-but-realistic details like this one.
• Slashed Throat: How the Spy deployed by the sapper "sapps" the Engineer is handled in Prop Fortress. It still ends with an explosion, but with bloody results.
• So Much for Stealth: In Lazy Mountain. Little did BLU Spy know that the elder Demoman is still there to notice him after he scared off Sniper. Even worse, when he does abort his mission, he breaks the "plant pot" disguise, leaving him open for capture. He still manages to escape, though, thanks to the elder Medic botching his capture.
• The Stinger: TV has one. It turns out that long after the events of this video took place, the trapped Engineer never died. He manages to materialize himself back in the real world (as Pirate Staregineer, as his last appearance before the TV he's trapped in was shut off had him wearing a pirate hat and lacking goggles) and proceeds to transform the "brain dead" Soldier into Medic Soldier. The way he transforms the Soldier happens to involve wasps, which explains the Medic Soldier's preferred method of treatment. It also explains why Medic Soldier can be occasionally seen staring at Pirate Staregineer in the past videos (Heavy is Bacon, Space Fortress (Season 2 Episode 17)).
• Stuff Blowing Up: When the BLU Engineer destroys his Dispenser to move the minecart containing the RED Spy back to its starting point. Then when said minecart crashes into the BLU Scout, a huge explosion ensues, ruining the entirety of Bread Land.
  • When Mount Rushmore eats Smallineer in Lazy Mountain, it triggers an Everything Explodes Ending.
• Sudden Downer Ending: A possibly unintentionally creepy example in Gravel Poot. After a Sniper kills the Engineer's body, which the ghosts of a Scout, an Engineer, a Heavy and its pet Red Army Robin were possessing, they look mournfully at it, before the Heavy calls the Engineer stupid and pushes him off the platform, killing his ghost. The video ends with the ghost of Engie's ghost screaming while the screen fades to GAME OVER in white all-caps text on a black screen.
  • Played for Black Comedy in Red Scout Redemption. The Heavy, the main threat of the video, has been defeated and Scout and Demoman hi-five each other in victory... while the latter is flying at high speed towards the ground. Cue Demo crashing into a chair, rendering him "DED", complete with Dark Souls parody Game Over banner.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial:
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus one, though. In the 1000 subscribers milestone video, the RED Engineer is briefly labelled "Totally not me" while the RED Spy is briefly labelled "Totally not Sg. Bash"^note Eltorro's brother. Sure thing, Eltorro. Sure...
  • In Steam Group, a brief annotation labels a BLU Heavy as "totally not LongCat :3". You sure about that too, Eltorro?
• Swallowed Whole: Demoman, Possessed!Engineer, and the sapped Dispenser end up being sucked up into Heavy's mouth at the end of The Gift.
• Take That!:
  • In Scout's Amazing Adventures, Heavy plays Rebecca Black's Friday. Spy immediately expresses disgust as he covers his ears, while the BLU Soldier ends up exploding.
  • Scout's Nokia phone breaking upon landing on the undead Soldier's cape/armor in Gravity Fails seems to be this towards the "Nokia is indestructible" meme.
  • Part of He's Gonna is a parody of those poorly made mobile game ads which usually feature a top-down perspective, a point-and-click style gameplay and an inevitable failure in whatever task was being done.
• Title Drop: Happens on occasion.
  • "I AM FULL OF SANDWICHES AND I AM COMING FOR YOU!" in Full of Sandwiches as said by the Heavy Fridge at the beginning.
  • "Now Heavy will vomit down yout throat. Come closer!" in Down Your Throat when the Heavy approaches Scout at the end of the video.
• Toilet Humor: A brief one in Drugs.
  Heavy: (after having been injected with Medic's "Schadenfreude") ...I soiled diapers.
  Medic: This is unacceptable!
• Too Dumb to Live: In Momma in a Box, Soldier picks up a Mini-Sentry against its will, reads a wildlife book that explicitly says not to do so, and proceeds to continue holding it ignorant of the Mini-Sentry's parents about to ventilate him.
• Trapped in TV Land: Engineer in TV after he's thrown into it where Soldier resides and gets trapped there after one of the TV watchers switches off the TV. He later escapes in The Stinger.
• Trash Landing: Scout gets launched into an open dumpster after he's bumped by Thomas!Spy in Where is Scout's Mom?.
• Uncertain Doom: RED Demoman during the events of Oasis, last seen screaming as multiple Engineer heads in the sand started to appear.
• Unsettling Gender-Reveal: In Oasis, the travelling Demoman encounters what appears to be a woman whose part of her face is covered up with a fan. Said woman turns out to be a Soldier in disguise who screams at him, launching him away.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Due to the heavy use of Random Events Plot, the fates of some characters or the purpose of seemingly important objects are often left out without any explanation because they're often ditched out after being mentioned/shown in the early part of a video. Doesn't detract any amusement factor from the videos, though.
• William Telling: A RED Sniper attempted this on the RED Scout, albeit disguising his hat as an apple first instead of using a real one.
• A Winner Is You: In Pocket Scout, Scout's iPad game simply displays a white screen with "YOU WIN" text on it after he beat it.
• Your Mom: In Bread Land, the RED Spy insults the BLU Scout by referring to a nearby RED Heavy as his mother. Scout screams in horror, but he then quickly admits that his "mom" really is Heavy. That might be subverted, however, with what the Scout does to the Spy immediately after.
• Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The original line is paraphrased in Momma in a Box.
  Demoman: Thank you Scout! But your momma is in another box!
