Mundo Canibal aspresetcha...
Mundo Canibal (in English: Cannibal World) was an extinct Brazilian website composed by Black Comedy, adult-focused Flash animations. The website was created in 1995 by the brothers Ricardo and Rodrigo Piologo and Rogério Villela, being born from the desire of the former to make animations with their newly created character, Carlinhos; a white creature that eats his own poop. Several other characters were created over the years, though the site remained relatively obscure for a long time after its creation.In 2004, their popularity exploded with the release of two specific animations: Avaiana de Pau, a fictional commercial about a wooden flip-flop that parents can use to "educate" their kids, and Bonequicha, a rude transvestite doll. In the following years, Mundo Canibal became a huge hit on the internet. Nearly anyone who grew up during the mid-to-late 2000s has shared some of the website's flashes to their friends through their cellphones, at a time where YouTube was relatively a new thing and not as widespread, and mobile phones were not very advanced. As such, they proceeded to create even more viral animations such as the grumpy Mr. Donizildo, the greedy Pastor Metralhadora and the cuckold-on-denial José.
A few years later, the Piologo brothers and Vilela realized that their animations took way too long to finish, and they needed to add an additional easier content that can be produced in less time, so that the website could update more frequently. Thus, they conceived the new section YouTOBA, which was a collection of real-life short videos of people doing stupid things, accompanied by the already iconic narration of Treco. The most famous of these was the ParTOBA series, described as a "parkour gone wrong", displaying videos of stupid people getting injured for dumb reasons. Later on, Ricardo and Rodrigo Piologo started showing themselves on the videos and creating more content such as gameplays or movie reviews.
In 2013, the Piologo Brothers and Rogério Vilela decided that, besides the animations, the three weren't getting on a settlement of what the website's content should be; while the brothers wanted to publish prank-style videos, Vilela preferred to add some of his stand-up comedy content, with the two groups disagreeing on one another's decision. Eventually, they peacefully determined to split up and part ways publishing their own content on their separate channels, "Irmãos Piologo" and "Rogério Vilela". Since Vilela was the one who came up with the website's concept and name, but the Piologos were the people who actually brought life and essence onto it, they decided that the Mundo Canibal brand would be permanently retired and the website would be taken down.
For a few months, the animations and videos were preceded with both the Mundo Canibal and "Irmãos Piologo" logotypes, until July 2014, when the website stopped being updated permanently. Since then, the brothers now publish their newer animations and other content on their own YouTube channel, as well as HD remasters of the classic pre-2014 animations. While Vilela is not involved with the new projects anymore, he is still a good friend to the brothers, and has invited them on two separate occasions to his own podcast ''Inteligência Ltda."
Some of the website's several animation franchises include:
- Avaiana de Pau & Cia (2004): Comedic commercials advertising bizarre products. Besides the titular Avaiana de Pau and its variations, there is also the PodreShop Products series.
- Beto, o Magnífico (1998-2005): An eccentric magician with three helpers: a massive-chested blonde woman and two big, scary black men. His magic tricks are always done in an extremely weird, inconvenient and often disgusting way.
- Boby Psicótico (2002): A creepy murderer with a huge yellow grin on his face and a shirt that's always stained with blood (tee-ree-quee-tee). He is merciless, cruel, and unhinged, always looking for his next victim.
- Bonequicha (2003-2009): A talking homosexual doll, shaped like an adult man dressed in a bikini. It repeatedly keeps asking for a cup of water, and gets furious if its owner doesn't understand or obey its orders.
- Canibytes (1998-2006): A tribe of indigenous cannibals inhabiting the Brazilian region of the Amazon. They are remarkable for their heavy use of technology; they utilize guns instead of spears, electric ovens instead of cauldrons, and telephones instead of smoke signals.
- Carlinhos (1995): A black-and-white boy who was conceived through the mating of a male donkey with a black-and-white TV. He lives in a farm with his parents and is so poor that he does not wear any clothes and the only food he eats is his own poop.
- Chuq Nóia (2006-2015): The animated counterpart to Chuck Norris and, loyally to his namesake's portrayal, the most powerful and strong being in the universe. He can do anything at any time, winning against any foe that tries to threaten him. Even the other powerful beings completely cower and surrender in fear of Chuq, lest they receive a well-done Roundhouse Kick on their faces.
- Cotoco (2008-2011): A mischievous little boy born without any limbs whatsoever. He is often accompanied of his devil friend Papai Legal, that tries to warn him of his dangerous and immoral actions, to no avail.
- Deforméd Baby (~1998-2004): A disabled American baby with a deformed head. Due to the neglect and carelessness of his parents, he tends to constantly suffer from severe injuries.
- Família Donizildo (2002-2012): An unconventional family that screams very loud. The father, Mr. Donizildo, is impatient, angry and screams at anyone who wrongs him. The daughter, Donizete, is very cheerful, happy and friendly, but she has a grating, ear-piercing voice which, combined with her loud way of talking, annoys anyone who is near her. The mother, Mrs. Donizilda, is blind but constantly tries to deny it, which can cause some trouble at times.
- Os Toscos (1998-2006): A trio of cartoon creature hillbillies - Jabuga, Stamp and Lecão - that lives in a dirty barren wasteland. They like everything dirty and rotten, much to the chagrin of their arch enemy Toalete Girl, who yearns to clean everyone and everything in their land.
- Pastor Metralhadora (2010): A greedy pastor yearning to extort money in any way, shape or form. He frequently hangs out with Chessus (the stand-in for Jesus) at Heaven, usually discussing their plans to get richer. When the need arises, he is able to use several anime-inspired superpowers and special attacks to defeat someone or otherwise cure/help them on something.
- PêFêGôs (1998-2003): A trio of effeminate homosexuals who are on a quest traveling through time and space to prove that Everyone Is Gay, having successfully proved the homosexuality from characters such as Little Red Riding Hood, Superman and Jason Vorhees. The group name is a combination of each member's name: Pê, Fê and Gô. Each of the three is based on a different homosexual archetype: Pê is the intellectual, smart one; Fê is the feminine, girly one; and Gô is the buff one.
- Tomelirolla (2007): An extremely hormonal chubby boy. When he gets horny (which is often), he starts aggressively humping everyone who he sees in front of him.
- Video Lixo: Everything else. Basically, all the other animations which don't belong to any of the series above.
The animations from "Mundo Canibal" and "Irmãos Piologo" provide examples of:
- Adaptational Early Appearance: After the reboot to "Irmãos Piologo", the pre-existing animations started being reposted on the new channel in a random order instead of the original release order (favouring the more popular and recent ones), meaning the characters debuted on that channel on a completely different order, with some classic character debuting there in the new animations and others not appearing at all as of now.
- The Alcoholic: Treco is permanently drunk, which is the In-Universe explanation for his screechy, over-the-top voice.
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Treco, the narrator, is a green chipmunk.
- Animated Shock Comedy: The first notable one in Brazil; it was created specifically because, at the time, there weren't much well-known adult animations (Rogério Vilela said that the only adult show he knew back then was The Simpsons).
- Animation Evolution: Heavily. The first flashes from the website in the late 90's had very choppy, basic and repetitive animation, though it wasn't really due to lack of ability (the Piologo brothers had made very fluid animations before that), but instead, both because of short production deadlines and because most people's internet back then was not able to support playing larger and heavier files properly. The animation evolved to become considerably more fluid.
- Annoying Pop-Up Ad: "Companheiro Pop-Up" introduces the eponymous character, who is the embodiment of these. He constantly shows up to recommend things to Mr. Donizildo, much to the latter's annoyance.
- Anthropomorphic Food: Direitêro, a talking burger who has two right hands.
- Art Evolution: In the beginning, there were two art-style: a mostly-realistic human design, and a more cartoonish caricate design. After a few years in the website's run, the former style was scrapped and the latter was refined to be better stylized. Then, the style was updated again to be smoother and rounder.
- Arc Number: The number 666 shows up in several episodes.
- Ascended Extra:
- Donizete was originally the main character of her family along with her mother, with her father Mr. Donizildo having only appeared in a very short animation from 2003. From 2005 onwards, Donizildo gained more proeminence and became not only a main character, but one of the most iconic characters of the website in general.
- Donizete herself, along with Boby Psicótico, were this themselves. Their debut episodes were posted under the "Video Lixo" tab, but after getting enough episodes, they got a section for both of them, and later, separated sections. The same happened with Chuq Noia and Tomelirolla, which were originally one-offs but then got enough episodes for a separate section.
- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Whatahell wears a crop top that exposes his midriff, which goes along with his pink hair, make-up, and high-pitched voice, which are done to illustrate his stereotypical Camp Gay demeanour. Ai Para also wears a crop top to emphasize his femininity.
- Berserk Button:
- Cotoco hates being told that God will punish him for his actions, as he feels he's already suffering enough from not having arms or legs.
- Basically any minor inconvenience for Mr. Donizildo. Though he especially hates losing money in any way, even if it's just one cent.
- Beyond the Impossible: Carlinhos was, somehow, born from the interbreeding between a donkey and a TV. Even worse, his "mother" is a male donkey.
- Big "WHAT?!": In "Escola de Inglês Whatahell", Whatahell works as an English teacher and instructs the students to ask "What?" whenever they don't understand something. Since Mr. Donizildo does not understand any English at all, he keeps shouting an angry and confused "WHAT?" multiple times throughout the class until finally snapping out.
- Black Comedy: The main aspect of the animations is the dark, deranged humor. Many feature blood, gore, death, and other heavy subjects.
- Black Comedy Cannibalism: The whole point of the name "Mundo Canibal" is to highlight the dark comedy aspect of its content, as, according to the crew, "there is nothing more extreme than eating one another". Cannibalism itself is also present in a few animations, especially the Canibytes ones.
- Bland-Name Product: There are lots of brand parodies in several animations. To name a few:
- Instead of "MasterCard", the credit card brand here is "MerdCard" (from the Portuguese word for shit, merda). One iconic animation features Mr. Donizildo yelling at a telemarketing attendant for trying to sell the credit card to him.
- Similarly, McDonald's is parodied as "Merd Merda". In an occasion, the parody name is changed to Merd Donald's, probably to make the reference easier to get.
- Coca-Cola is referenced as "Kocalcoólica", a junction of the original name with "alcoholic".
- The bank Itaú is parodied as "Infianukú", a misspelled conjoined version of "shove it up your ass".
- Brick Joke: "Dá Hadouken Riu" has Maloqueiro Pô Pai, Carlinhos and the little boy from Avaiana de Pau watching, on television, Treco desperately trying to convince Ryu to do a Hadouken in various ways. At one point, Cotoco appears instead of Ryu, and Treco tells him to do a Hadouken instead, which causes everyone in the room to laugh (since Cotoco has no limbs and thus, would be unable to do a Hadouken), but Maloqueiro Pô Pai claims he doesn't get it despite laughing with the rest. At another point of the cartoon, there is another joke where Treco asks Ryu if he has a Twitter account, and when the latter states he doesn't have a computer, Treco calls him "poor", causing everyone to laugh again. Then, at the end of the episode, everybody falls asleep, but Maloqueiro Pô Pai suddenly wakes up claiming he finally got the joke: he says Cotoco cannot do a Hadouken because he does not have... a Twitter account.
- Body Horror: Some of Deforméd Baby's fates involve this. He's been mauled by a pitbull, had a crab open a hole in his head and enter it, had his face burned by his food, and got his face sliced with a cleaver.
- Burger Fool: The fast-food restaurant "Merd Merda", where all the foods, such as burgers and ice creams, are made out of poop. In its second appearance, a bratty kid visits the place and physically abuses all of the staff including Carlinhos, but the latter, being Carlinhos, actually loves doing his job.
- The Cameo: Despite not getting a solo episode since 2012, Mr. Donizildo makes a small appearances in the credits of the 2019 animation "IT Encontra Carlinhos" (although it's reutilized, and he has no lines whatsoever).
- Cartoon Creature: Carlinhos is a pale humanoid that looks mostly like a bald human, but probably isn't one.
- Cast Herd: As mentioned above, all the main characters had their own separate sections on the website, with animations prominently featuring them and their peers. Then, there was the section for random characters or ones that didn't have a separate section.
- Chocolate Baby: José, a Japanese man, has a white wife, a black best friend, and a black son as well. Despite the obvious evidence, he insists on denying it.José: No, no, no, no...José's Conscience: "No no no" what, José?!
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Most estabilished characters stopped appearing after the early 2010s.
- Clip-Art Animation: He-Gay is a real-life He-Man toy, whose mouth speaks like a puppet and usually only moves his arm.
- Comically Invincible Hero: Chuq Nóia is undoubtedly the strongest and most powerful character of the website, being completely undefeatable. It shows that even a merciless murderer, and a man who stopped time and bent water with his sheer anger, are terrified of Chuq.
- Creative Closing Credits: Starting with "Avaiana de Pau", many animations feature Treco singing a song during the credits, with the others usually featuring the credits during The Stinger. However, as of now, the songs are presented after the main animation ended and the credits are in a static background instead.
- Couch Gag: All of Carlinhos' flash animations until 2004 ended with him saying "Acabou" (it's over) with his head in the middle of a rotating flower, and then laughing. Afterwards, the names on the credits would show up with Carlinhos inside the flower staying in the top right corner of the screen, then after a few seconds, his head would be switched with the head of another character that appeared in that specific animation.
- Creepy Cockroach: In "Medo de Barata", Mr. Donizildo gets terrified when a cockroach enters his house, and asks his wife to kill it; however, she is unable to due to her blindness.
- Credits Gag: Since 2004, the roles in the credits all end with the suffix "-êro", such as "Produtor" (producer) being written as "Produtêro", voice credits being listed as "Vozêro", "Animador" being listed as "Animêro", and so on. There have also been multiple instances where the credits' names or the crew's caricatures included in them were altered:
- In "E Agora, José?", the crew's names had the name "José" added before their respective actual names, and their caricatures were edited to have horn-like hairstyles. In "José Is Back", their caricatures are now edited to have actual horns on their heads.
- "Família Bomba" has each credit being displayed after a bomb explosion.
- In "Sandalhita de Ripa", every word in the credits - names, surnames and roles - is edited to end in the suffixes "-ito" or "-ita", with the caricatures wearing stereotypical Mexican hats and mustaches.
- In "Morróida no Drude", the Piologo brothers' names include the word "Morróida" between them, as if it was a middle name. Interestingly, this only happens in the remastered version, as the original version only included the word between Rodrigo's first and last names (most likely because the animation itself was inspired on facts involving him specifically).
- In the credits of "Zumbinho", Rodrigo and Ricardo's regular caricatures are replaced by zombie versions of them both.
- An example outside of the animations: in the back of the 2006 DVD, the fictional character Abilidebob is credited as director.
- Cute, but Cacophonic: While Donizete can only arguably be considered "cute", she definitely has an extremely annoying voice, not helped by the fact she screams extremely loudly, which can bother the other characters a lot.
- Disproportionate Retribution: The kids in Avaiana de Pau get mauled with the titular shoe for very filmsy reasons, most of which weren't even their fault.
- Driven to Suicide:
- In "Avaiana de Pano", a baby hangs himself due to suffering constant abuse from his babysitter.
- "Avaiana de Pau - 10 Years Later" shows the kid that got blamed by his dad for the soccer team Corinthians losing; he decides to jump from the ceiling to end the curse, but ends up landing on the bus that transported all Corinthians players, which causes them to die and him being hospitalized.
- E = MC Hammer: Parodied in the song from the cartoon "Monstro Jackson - Ataque de Epilepsia". At one point, the lyrics have a fake-Spanish version, featuring a random Non Sequitur saying "Raiz quadrada de catorze é dezotcho" (meaning "the square root of fourteen is eighteen").
- Exact Words: In "O Desejo de Cotoco Para 2012", Cotoco's wish for New Year is to have arms and legs. He does get his wish granted, but the arms and legs are all scattered randomly around his body.
- Expy: Several characters are parodies of famous cartoon characters.
- Maloqueiro Pô Pai is a stoner version of Popeye The Sailor Man.
- He-Gay is a live-action, talking He-Man doll.
- Extreme Omnisexual: Tomelirolla is willing to fuck anyone and anything that is in front of him, regardless of gender or even species.
- Fate Worse than Death: Deformed Baby suffers many severe injuries in his appearances, usually being mutilated, drowned and even mistaken for dead. Most viewers would usually assume he is dead, if it were not for the credits scene always showing an animation of his arms, still containing the same injuries he got in the respective episode. In one occasion, he explodes leaving nothing but a beating heart, but it is assured that he is still alive even then. He only actually dies in two occasions, and none were in his solo cartoons.
- Fat Bastard: Tomelirolla is a chubby boy who's always sexually assaulting people.
- Fat Idiot: The Canibytes have a character literally named "Silly Fat", who was just a stupid fat guy that always laughs for no reason.
- Fiery Redhead: Chuq Nóia is almost always angry.
- Gonk: Donizete, due to her large gums and small, separated teeth.
- Gag Penis:
- Tomelirolla has a permanently erect penis, which leads to several jokes involving it during his major roles.
- "Produtos de Cu é Rolla" presents the Cacetes de Pijamas (Dicks in Pajamas), anthropomorphic penises who are parodies of the Bananas in Pajamas. They are hired to put children to sleep by spanking them until they pass out.
- Gratuitous Spanish: "Sandalhita de Ripa" is a self-parody of "Avaiana de Pau", except the characters' dialogues are all said in intentionally wrong, over-the-top Spanish. The same fake Spanish language is used in posterior animations as well.
- Grandfather Clause: Since the site was created, it featured separate sections for the animations of each character group. However, in the later years, most animations were on the "Video Lixo" tab and basically every character with their own separate sections hadn't had a new episode in years (especially the Canibytes, which only had four animations with the last one being in 2006). Despite this, they kept their separate tabs, if only as a way to make the website more organized.
- Groin Attack: Happened frequently, especially in the old animations, where the injury was so bad that the characters' green testicles would often be seen.
- "Super Gay" has the PêFêGôs trying to prove Superman is gay, even though he denies it. They attempt several methods, until he ends up getting a boner looking at a men's magazine; as a punishment for lying, Pê puts Kriptonite on top of his erect penis, which makes both it and his ballsack explode.
- In "Merd Merda 2", a parody of Ronald McDonald is kicked on the balls so hard, that his testicles end up hanging out of his mouth.
- In "Casa Nova", Stamp tries to lure a parasite out of his butthole using a hook. It works, but the parasite makes the hook rip off Stamp's penis and ballsack, then it eats both of the testicles, and goes back to Stamp's butthole. It Makes Just As Much Sense In Context.
- The Grotesque: Deforméd Baby is exactly what his name describes; a disabled baby with an extremely deformed head.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Mr. Donizildo gets mad at any minor inconvenience.
- Harmless Villain: In the Carlinhos flash animation "As Carlinhas Superpodrerosas", which is a parody of The Powerpuff Girls (1998), the equivalent to Mojo Jojo is called "Macaco Morto" (Dead Monkey) and looks like the original one, except he's just dead with flies around him. He does absolutely nothing except randomly fall on the mayor's table, and is easily defeated as he was already dead on the first place.
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood: The entire point of the Avaiana de Pau franchise.
- Hollywood Jehovah's Witness: In "Treco e a Testemunha de Jeovagem", Treco gets visited by a woman who is a mixture of Jehovah's witnesses with vegans. She shows up early in the morning to preach about veganism to him; after a few minutes of arguments, God kills her with a thunder, supporting Treco, who later eats her burnt corpse to show that he is still eating meat. At one point, Treco also points out her "mustache" and complains that every religious woman is hairy and does not shave the hair above their mouths.
- The same woman appears in "Chuq Nóia - O Grande Dia da Testemunha de G", this time as a regular Jehovah's witness. She visits Chuq Noia's house at 7 AM, but immediately gets a Megaton Punch from him, who complains that it is too early, tells her to go back to sleep, and says he lived through Chessus' crucifixion, so he knows everything already.
- Horrifying the Horror: Boby Psicótico may be an unhinged psychopath that kills people in the most deranged ways, but not even he dares to mess with Chuq Nóia.
- Interspecies Romance: Carlinhos' parents; his mother is a male donkey and his father is a black-and-white television.
- Laugh Track: Multiple of the animations from the first half of the 2000s utilized a stock laughing sound effect for specific scene, usually in a ironic manner to accentuate a ridiculous scene or situation. This was later mostly dropped and replaced by a short horn sound effect that serves a similar purpose.
- Leitmotif: Many characters or character groups have their own one. In the pre-2005 era, the leitmotifs were other people's songs as well.
- Carlinhos has an upbeat tune that plays in both "Merd Merda" episodes and "Carlinhos em 3T".
- Boby Psicótico, from his introduction until 2002, had a snippet of the Godzilla (1998) theme as his main tune whenever he was about to harm someone. In 2005, it was altered to an eerie sting, which was an original composition now.
- Maloqueiro Popai's theme is a reggae parody of Popeye The Sailor Man's theme song. It plays almost every time he's onscreen.
- Scenes where Sr. Donizildo and/or Donizete appear tend to have one of two themes playing; a quiet, calm one or a more agitated version of the former theme, usually when the scene changes to have more tension.
- The Toscos' old animations until "Vale Tudo dos Toscos" all had the Benny Hill theme playing throughout almost their entire duration. In the remastered versions, it was altered to an original, agitated music.
- Look Behind You: In "Bosta Wars III", Obi-Wan tells Carlinhos "Look! A cow disguised as Superman!" and, when Carlinhos looks, he pushes him into the lava pit. However, immediately after, an actual cow in a Superman costume shows up and poops in his mouth.
- Long-Runners: The website was created in 1995 and lasted until 2014. New animations continue to be produced independently by the Piologo brothers and released on their YouTube channel (although they're now only posted sporadically), as well as some reposts and remasters of the classic animations.
- Lighter and Softer: Subverted by the "Avaiana de Pano". It's a version of the "Avaiana de Pau" that's made from cloth instead of wood, and thus, the children think it's harmless and start terribly misbehaving in front of their parents, thinking they can't really be hurt by a cloth flip-flop. But then, each parent uses their creativity to hurt the kids with the Avaiana de Pano in an even worse manner, resulting in the deaths of all but one note .
- Magnet Hands: Played for Laughs in "Barbearia do Boby Psicótico". Gayzinho asks Boby to shave his long beard and picks up a razor, which he is perfectly able to hold despite not having arms, only small stumps where they used to be. This leads to an Overly Long Gag of Boby asking him how he managed to hold the razor without hands, but Gayzinho does not understand what he's talking about, until Boby just brushes it off.
- May the Farce Be with You: "Bosta Wars" and "Bosta Wars III" note , a Star Wars parody starring Carlinhos in the lead role.
- Motion Blur: Smear frames are notably very utilized in the animations, except for the oldest ones. Almost every movement of a character's hand uses smears, even when it was not needed.
- Multiple Endings: Some of the early flashes prompted the viewer to choose between two alternatives to continue the animation's story. The episode would end differently depending on what choice was made. Two animations, "Super Gay" and "Lecão no Pesque e Cague", were also interactive and required the viewer to click buttons for them to progress, but they had the same ending no matter what. The multiple-ending stories were:
- "Homo Aranha": The animation started with Homo Aranha (Gay Spider Man) swinging down with a web and seeing a window. The choices had an arrow pointing down and an arrow pointing right, to the window. Choosing the down arrow would make Homo Aranha fall down, die and be ran over by a car, while choosing the right arrow would make him enter the window, find the PêFêGôs holding multiple tentacles with condoms and them having them shove all the tentacles inside Homo Aranha's butt.
- "Jabuga na Merda": After Jabuga was eaten by a giant fish, he was seen inside the fish's belly, having two choices for the player to click: a grenade and the fish's butthole. If the grenade was chosen, Jabuga would attempt to explode it, but it doesn't, then it skips to one year later, showing him dead and his skeleton and clothes being the only things that were left. If the butthole was chosen, Jabuga would attempt to escape through it, but the fish revealed his butthole had teeth, instantly biting off Jabuga's body in half.
- "Casa Nova": When a flea enters Stamp's butthole, two options appear to get rid of it: a hook and a war tank. If the war tank was chosen, the narrator would insult the viewer and inform that Stamp does not have a war tank; if the hook was chosen, Stamp would try to lure the flea out using it, but accidentally ripping his genitals out with the hook along with the flea.
- "Sexta Feira 24 Gayson": The PêFêGôs are seen having sex in a bedroom, when suddenly Jason Vorhees shows up. The two choices were "Kill" - where the trio would lie on the bed with their butts up and have Gayson shove his hand inside the three's asses (but not kill them)- or "Participate in the orgy" - where Fê would shove an electric chainsaw inside Jason's ass.
- "O Herói do Dia?": Deforméd Baby falls down a tall building, so Homem-Dúvida would show up to help him. The choices to stop Deforméd's fall were a ball, and Abilidebob (a real life monkey).
- Musical Episode: With the short nature of the animations, some of them consist largely or entirely on just songs.
- "Videokê Olha Mãe" has Donizete singing a parody of the song "Morango do Nordeste" dedicated to her mother.
- "Monstro Jackson - Ataque de Epilepsia" features Treco singing a song about Michael Jackson having an epileptic attack in front of a priest, who gets terrified and starts to exorcise him, failing to understand he actually just has a disease. Afterwards, Whatahell sings the same song taking over Michael Jackson's role, except he has a diarrhea attack instead of an epileptic one. At last, there is a butchered-Spanish version of the first song, featuring nonsensical lyrics filled with Mexican stereotypes.
- Mythology Gag: In "Bombequicha", a Barbie rip-off of Bonequicha is announced, with the narrator being the same one that appeared in the early animations until mid-2002, when he was replaced by Treco.
- Naked People Are Funny: Carlinhos walks around permanently naked and with his penis exposed, which nobody really seems to mind. Donizete also appears naked in one of her earliest animations.
- Nipple and Dimed: In newer animations, female characters whose breasts are exposed tend to have them covered by stars; the same censor happens to the images of a nipple in "Avaiana de Pano" when it was reuploaded in 2018 (although the same nipple image appears in "Novos Produtos Podre Shop" and wasn't censored in the remaster). On the other hand, male characters such as Tomelirolla can have their nipples completely exposed on-screen with no issue. This is most likely due to YouTube's policies regarding female frontal nudity.
- No Indoor Voice: The entire Donizildo family. While Donizete and her mother just tend to speak very loud, Donizildo yells a lot due to his excessive anger.
- Non-Indicative Name: Despite being called "Cannibal World", cannibalism is not a central factor in the animations; there used to be a series about cannibal characters, but it didn't last very long.
- One-Word Vocabulary: Two, in this case. The only words that Direitêro speaks on-screen are "Belessa kapião" (a bastardized form of "Beleza, campeão" - meaning "Alright, champ")
- The Oner: Happens in some occasions, the most notorious being Tomelirolla's solo animations; they tend to feature him humping a progressively larger group of people while passing through a long scenery, meaning the camera was kept in a single take for an extended period of time. In a 2009 blog post, Ricardo Piologo stated that Tomelirolla's animations were the hardest to produce for this exact reason, and that, although they appeared to be only one long take, he actually made discreet, seamless cuts whenever possible to animate the rest of the take, as it would be even harder for him to actually animate one long take.
- Out of Focus: Almost all the characters from the classic era appear very little in the newer animations, with a few exceptions such as Boby Psicótico, Carlinhos and Pastor Metralhadora, who have their own episodes in the modern era. In fact, most new animations barely involve the estabilished characters.
- "Psycho" Strings: A parody of the Psycho theme plays in several animations during tense moments, such as in "Avaiana de Pano" (while showing the baby being abused by his babysitter), "O Dia Que a Terra Parou" (in the intro and later when Donizildo's anger stops time), "Tomelirolla - A Reação de Chuq Nóia" (when the flashback of Tomelirolla humping Chuq Nóia is interrupted by Professor Elézio who's about to explain how screwed Tomelirolla is) and "Babyquicha, a Filha da Bonequicha" (during most of the time, usually while the girl is playing with the Creepy Doll Babyquicha). The actual music from the original movie plays briefly on the original version of "DVD dos Toscos", as it was made in the late 90s or early 2000s when the Piologo Brothers' animations still used other people's music.
- Public Domain Soundtrack: Since 2014, the independent animations all use music and sound effects by Kevin MacLeod, with many old episode remasters also incorporating them in scenes that were originally silent or had another unfitting soundtrack. In particular, the track "Exhilarate"
plays whenever a character gets angry or otherwise is in a tense situation. - Rapid-Fire Comedy: The animations tend to be short and fast-paced; consequently, they feature tons of jokes one immediately after another.
- Rotating Protagonist: Since the website was divided on several sections, each one of them had their own set of characters, with the "Video Lixo" section usually featuring variated characters or several estabilished characters together. The independent animations tend to mostly feature new characters each time.
- Sad Clown: Elézio the Clown tends to be serious most of the time.
- Remaster:
- The majority of the old animations were remastered for the two Mundo Canibal official DVD's (although the second one wound up being cancelled). These versions had better audio quality in comparison to the old videos' compressed audio, as well as improved effects and an original soundtrack, replacing the non-original music found in the early animations. In 2011, these remastered versions were all published on the official Mundo Canibal YouTube channel, including the second DVD's versions, until 2023 where every animation was removed from the channel.
- In 2009, "Avaiana de Pau" received a brand new remastered version, due to the original 2004 version being the most iconic video of the site, but at the same time being too outdated for their new standards. The remastered version updated the screen resolution to from 4:3 to 16:9, changed the frame rate from 12 to 24 FPS, had new voice recordings for every character (which got more movements than in the original version as well), as well as better aesthetics and compositing overall.
- Many of the original Mundo Canibal animations from 2003 onwards were remastered in HD with subtitles for the Piologo brothers' official YouTube channel. In most of them, whenever the name "Mundo Canibal" is mentioned, it's redubbed/altered to "Irmãos Piologo". While "Donkey Korno" and "Halloween do Boby Psicótico" received the same remaster treatment as "Avaiana de Pau" did (except the original audio and character movements were kept intact), the other SD animations stayed in that same resolution but with black bars with the Piologo brothers' logo at the borders to fill up the remaining space. Sometimes, they can censor scenes or change soundtracks as well.
- Suddenly Shouting: Donizete can do this at times, such as when she is singing a karaoke song in "Videokê Olha Mãe", suddenly going from singing normally to screaming loudly.
- Sound-Effect Bleep: Although swear words are common in the animations, they tend to be bleeped out.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Invoked in "Tomelirolla - A Reação de Chuq Nóia". After being humped by Tomelirolla, Chuq Nóia turns into Superman, flies away to reverse time like him (in the process, he even encounters the actual Superman - who is wheelchair-bound and crying - and demands him to leave), goes to the hour Tomelirolla was about to wake up on the exact day he was about to hump him, and gives him a huge Groin Attack. In the end, Elézio says that, as much as he does not doubt Chuq Nóia and Superman, he reinforces that if the Earth were to be spun backwards, it would actually explode. The ending scene features an alternate ending where the Earth explodes with everyone flying away.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In the videogame "Mundo Canibal Apocalypse", Drugged Superman appears despite only being featured in a brief scene of exactly one short. He actually appeared as a replacement for Maloqueiro Popai, since Rogério Vilela had the rights for the character by then due to being his creator.
- The Stoner: Maloqueiro Pô Pai, Capitao Crackverna and Drugged Superman, who are all parodies of pop culture characters but themed around drugs.
- Straw Vegetarian: The "Jeovagem's Witness" that visits Treco's house in one episode. She is an overweight middle-aged woman with hair above the lips, and calmly tries to explain that eating animals is wrong and they are intelligent creature. Treco not only disagrees, but also snaps at her, claiming that he'll eat any animal he wants (including human beings) and that he thinks animals are stupid. In the end, God shows up and kills the woman with a thunder.
- Shaped Like Itself:
- Elézio explains the power of Chuq Nóia as being simply because "Chuq Norris is Chuq Norris because he is Chuq Norris".
- In "O Dia Que A Terra Parou", while Mr. Donizildo is angry at the yellow traffic light, he exclaims "Amarelo pra mim é yellow!". "Amarelo" means "yellow", so he is basically saying "Yellow for me is yellow!"
- Special Effects Evolution: The first animations had no special effects at all, and later they only had basic ones such as lighting. From 2007 onwards, many animations have advanced special effects mostly done entirely in Flash, with some utilizing special programs for things such as CGI objects.
- Sperm as People: Bob Esperma from "Novas Séries Animadas do Mundo Canibal".
- Sudden Name Change: Chuq Nóia was originally called Chuq Norris in his introductory episode, which even has said name as its title.
- Talking Poo: In "Novas Séries Animadas do Mundo Canibal", a parody of SpongeBob SquarePants named Bob Esperma (a sentient sperm cell) believes he is inside an uterus, only to discover he is actually inside an anus and meets three talking pieces of poop, who have an conversation with him and then invite him to hang out on the toilet.
- The Ghost: In the original "Avaiana de Pau", only one of the parents appear physically; the rest are unseen and, at most, only their voices are heard. Averted in the sequel "Travesseiro de Preda", where all of the parents appear physically, and zig-zagged in "Avaiana de Pano", where some appear and others don't.
- They Killed Kenny Again: Many recurring characters are killed in some episodes, but then return alive and well in their next appearance. Exaggerated with Deforméd Baby, who dies in all of his relevant appearances.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Bonequicha keeps asking for a glass of water.
- Un-person: Phelippe G. Neto, who voiced several characters such as Sr. Donizildo, Donizete and Whatahell, had his name blurred out or erased from the credits of most of his participations in 2020. In 2023, all animations where he played a relevant role were permanently removed from the official channel as well for unknown reasons.
- Vocal Dissonance: Besides most of the female and child characters' voices being digitally pitched up, there are alsoseveral animations (especially the early ones) where grown men have pitched-up voices that don't match them, an example being O Treta.
- Vocal Evolution: Treco's voice was more high-pitched during his first appearances. Around 2013-2014, his voice ended up becoming less screechy due to being too much worn over.
- Vignette Episode:
- A common format of animations which do not feature actual linear stories, usually the fictional commercials such as Avaiana de Pau and its variants, or Podre Shop, which is a collection of multiple fictional products which are presented in short sketches.
- "Chuq Norris", with introduces the titular character, is mostly a collection of repackaged Chuck Norris Facts.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Chuq Nóia never has a shirt on.
- Whole-Plot Reference: Several of Carlinhos' early flashes were just gross parodies of series and movies.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: In 2014, the classic "Avaiana de Pau" got a "Ten Years Later" sequel, showing the future of all the kids who were victims of the Avaiana in the original animation. A "Twenty Years Later" sequel is also planned for release in 2024.
- The Worf Effect: A Running Gag in Chuq Nóia's appearances, showing other powerful characters either cowering in fear of him or instantly failing to defeat him.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Mr. Donizildo is completely terrified of cockroaches, freaking out when he sees one at his house. He asks his wife to kill it, but unfortunately, she's blind and can´t see where the cockroach is.
The live-action videos provide examples of:
- Amusing Injuries: The whole point of ParTOBA, where Treco narrates in an amusing way, videos of people hurting themselves for stupid reasons, such as doing a stunt they are unable to. However, while some of the injuries are very painful, there are no videos included at all of people who died during the video, as it wouldn't really be funny to comically narrate someone's death.
- Donizete: Fim!Donizildo: FIM NADA! NADA!!!
