Web Video / Solid jj

"I talk over still images and call it cinema"

Solid JJ is a comedy Internet content creator, making short skits based on existing media or real people. His videos usually merely consists of voiceover with subtitles and still images or stock footages as the background. His videos are based on Metal Gear Solid (hence the name), DC (largely via Super Friends) and Marvel comics, The Three Stooges, Pokémon: The Series, Scooby-Doo, Breaking Bad, and many others. The videos are uploaded on his YouTube channel and various social media accounts.

For a list of separate tropes on his Stoogeposting videos, see here.

---

Solid JJ's works contain examples of:

A-K

• Actor Allusion:
  • Dragon Ball parodies will often see Dragon Ball Z Abridged alumni come back for a Role Reprise.
  • In "Superhero Editorial Room", the role of Wally West, aka The Flash, is played by Jehtt, a fellow Gag Dub skit creator best known for his Sonic the Hedgehog shitposts.
  Jehtt: Thanks for having me on to showcase my one talent: voicing speedy guys.
• Adaptational Dumbass: Many of the characters are made dumber for the sake of comedy, but the most notable example is Yami Yugi in "Yu-Gi-Oh Woes" who doesn't know simple math. In the actual show, Yami Yugi explained to his opponent how Metalmorph really works, as Johnny Steps mistakenly thought Metalmorph would work like how Solid JJ thought it would.
• Adaptational Nice Guy:
  • Reverse Flash in "It Was Me Barry" is still a petty dick, but here he didn't kill Barry's mom (yet). While he tormented the Flash with things like expiring his milk and ruining his credit, he's actually shocked Barry thought he'd do something like kill his mom… only to immediately subvert it and perform the act in question after Barry inadvertently inspired him to do so by explaining how it would've made him a key part of his legacy.
  • Kingpin in "Kingpin is fat (laugh)" says that he and his father are on good terms after they went to counselling after the former's prison sentence had ended, and that they do scrapbooking every Thursday. In Spider-Man: The Animated Series, which the images of the video are largely sourced from, Wilson had his father killed once Wilson became a crime lord.
• Adaptational Superpower Change: Zarbar in The New Adventures of Batman is a Reality Warper who with a snap of his fingers can change the size of objects, teleport anywhere, and alter gravity. In "Joker’s New Sidekick", Zarbar's cited ability is firing concentrated cancer out of his hands.
• Adaptational Villainy: In Star Wars canon, Darth Vader's love for his son Luke is sincere (if not entirely selfless at first) and ultimately redeems him. In "Darth Vader Changes His Mind", he decides it'd be better to kill Luke for getting in the way of the Empire's plans and is so gung-ho about it that even Palpatine is alarmed.
• The Adjectival Superhero: Lampshaded by Spider-Man at the start of "The One with Deadpool in It", as he wonders why he calls himself "the Ultimate Spider-Man" and says that it feels conceited to do that.
• Affably Evil:
  • The Rhino is quite polite and laid-back for a guy whose drive in life is to ram through buildings. Even Spider-Man's taken aback by how earnest he is and even considers letting Rhino go until a bunch of people are trampled over. Rhino is also one of the only Sinister Six members who doesn't taunt or insult Spidey.
  • The giant fire monster in "Spider-Man and his Annoying Friends", upon hearing Spider-Man complain about him attacking the city, asks if he should just leave, and politely (but firmly) asks him to stop insulting him, only escalating to death threats when Spider-Man continues to press his anger in his direction.
• All for Nothing: Team Rocket steal Pikachu after jumping Ash, only to have forgotten why exactly they wanted that Pikachu in particular, and if they really just wanted a Pikachu they could have taken one from the hundreds they stole once.
• Alliance of Alternates: "Spider-Man: Please Just Go Home" has MCU Spider-Man and Green Goblin summoning alternate versions of themselves from other dimensions, including the Spider-Man from a dimension where he has a gun, the Spider-Man from a dimension where he has a gun and there aren’t any moral implications, the Green Goblin from a dimension where everyone wears a bulletproof vest, the Spider-Man from a dimension where he has a gun and there aren’t any moral implications and also bullets go through vests, the Spider-Man from a dimension where you didn’t read this text, and it just keeps escalating as the Raimi and Webb Spider-Men look on.
• Alliterative Title: The video starring Sinestro is named "Sincerely Sinister Sinestro".
• Almighty Mom: In "Goku's Genocide Roulette", it turns out that Cell, the ultra-powerful, genocidal Ultimate Lifeform is instictively terrified of Chi Chi when she starts telling off her husband for bringing a self-destructing monster back home… Again.
• Alternate Self: Different versions of the same character who originate from different shows or movies aren't voice the same. For example, there are at least four versions of Spider-Man (Spider-Man (1967), Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy) who all have distinct voices. For example, '67 Spider-Man has the deepest voice of the bunch, 80s Spider-Man has a thick Brooklyn accent and is Censored for Comedy, '94 Spider-Man has a nasally, cocky voice, and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man has a light, wimpy, soft spoken voice.
• Always Someone Better: In "The Avengers Interview Hulk", the team realize that Hulk can one-up them in pretty much everything: Hulk can throw bigger things than the shield that Captain America threw like a semi-truck, strong enough to be comparable to Thor without needing any hammer, can jump high enough to reach heights that Iron Man can while being more cost-efficient, and at least as smart as self-proclaimed genius Iron Man with his Ph.D. The others decide to find a way to reject him rather than ending up looking like "a couple of chumps" compared to Hulk.
• And Then What?: After beating up Spider-Man in "The Sinister Six Put Spider-Man in a Coma", the Sinister Six admit they don’t know what to do after that. While they discuss it among themselves, Spidey is able to enact an escape plan.
• Anti-Climactic Unmasking:
  • In "Fred’s Last Mystery", the person unmasked turns out to be some complete, random nobody with no motivation other than liking to scare people, much to the dismay and chagrin of the Mystery Gang. Fred in particular is so livid about it that he decides to dissolve the group right then and there.
  • Subverted in "The Sinister Six put Spider-Man in a Coma", when Spider-Man gets unmasked by the Sinister Six. Naturally, none of them know who this guy is…until Spider-Man, having been punched in the head multiple times, yells out "Well, I'm definitely not Peter Parker!".
• Art Shift:
  • Real life footage is used in "Bakugan Was Impossible" to show Dan's attempts at getting Drago onto a Gate Card.
  • Some of the videos are comprised of fully drawn art pieces as opposed to screenshots, like "Breaking Bat" for example.
• Artifact Title: Despite naming his channel after Solid Snake, Metal Gear parodies only make up a small minority of his videos, with the largest amount spoofing old superhero cartoons.
• Artistic License:
  • In "Yu-Gi-Oh Woes", Solid JJ uses Metalmorph's effect to demonstrate that his version of Yami Yugi can't do simple math equations and is lacking in education. And to show off that Solid JJ has done some research, he actually has Kaiba mentioning that "the police runs meta" and that they use "hand traps" and "Link Monsters", which is what the modern era of the card game is using. However, Solid JJ manages to get the effect of Metalmorph wrong, since the effect of adding half the amount of the ATK of the opponent's monster to the equipped monster only applies when the monster equipped with Metalmorph is the one attacking, not attacked (in that video, Vorse Raider (equipped with Metalmorph) gets attacked by Dark Magician). This misconception was even brought up in the actual show, where Johnny Steps mistakenly thought that Metalmorph would work like how Solid JJ thought it would, and it was Yami Yugi himself who cleared up how the effect actually worked.
  • Subverted in "The Flintstones Split the Atom". When Barney uses an atomizer to break down rocks to the atomic scale, a single atom being split doesn't cause a massive explosion; just an audible pop.
  • In "Pokemon Lore Is Crazy" Brock is shown to be disturbed at Ash only being able to vaguely recall the events of Pokémon: The First Movie, especially regarding how he quite literally died and came back to life at one point. In truth, neither Brock nor Ash should be able to remember anything that happened, as Mewtwo erased their memories at the end of the movie.
• Ate His Gun: Chancellor Sheppard in Duel Academy is for Suckers has been implied to do this, but for whatever reasons, hasn't gone through with it, as he apparently knows what the barrel of a gun tastes like. There is a possibility that the gun was forced into his mouth by some government agent considering he stated he was in prison briefly.
• Avenging the Villain: In "Team Rocket has had enough", James goes after Ash after the last time that he, Jessie and Meowth got blasted off resulted in Jessie dying after landing on her head and something happened to Meowth. After cornering Ash and explaining what happened, James guns him down.
• Awesome, but Impractical:
  • In "You Choose Spider-Man", Spider-Man argues that Green Goblin's idea to take over the city is this, since while having control over the city sounds great, there are many aspects of the city that they will have to manage; they need a team to take care of PR alone.
  • In "Vegeta's Big Wish", Gohan, Krillin and Frieza all recognize how, in retrospect, immortality isn't as useful as it could be due to the implications. Since Saiyans gain power after they experience near-death, Vegeta cannot get any more of these power boosts as he can never be near death again. Furthermore, if in a position where death would be preferred, such as having his head cut off, he would be stuck like that until healed. Even Goku realizes the implications when he learns Vegeta's become immortal.
• Back from the Dead: Brock from Pokémon literally mentions Ash died and came back to life in "Pokémon Lore Is Crazy", among other things.
• Bait-and-Switch:
  • Near the end of "The Avengers Interview Hulk", Hulk looks like he is going to go berserk after his application is rejected, but he quickly calms down and tells the Avengers that he’ll be suing them for unfair hiring practices.
  • In "The Justice League Remembers Hawkman Exists", after Hawkman sourly gives a speech about how superheroes like them shouldn't be bullying their teammate — referring to himself — the team agrees… and apologizes to Aquaman.
  • In "Culturally Insensitive Captain America", Iron Man talks about a household item that’s become much more common and plays a bigger role than it used to. Cap assumes he’s talking about the television, only for Iron Man to instead say "Women".
  • After Hal's concerns over the Obviously Evil Sinestro are dismissed, one of the Guardians "finally" gets Hal's line-of-thinking. But not that he gets that Sinestro looks Obviously Evil, rather he thinks Hal is judging Sinestro by his skin color.
  • "The Lantern Spectrum" introduces Grooble the Brown Lantern, a gross-looking, smelly alien, who actually gets really offended by Hal thinking that he's a dumb joke about wielding the power of shit. That's the Magenta Lanterns, silly.
  • At the end of "Kaiba Gets Shadow Realm'd", Yugi speaks up as the voice of reason, chastising the Pharaoh for ordering his Celtic Guardian to attack, which would cost Kaiba his life… when he could do it with the much stronger Summoned Skull for that sweet overkill factor.^note In the actual canon, all of Yugi's monsters with 1500 and higher ATK were destroyed by Kaiba's Crush Card Virus, meaning that the Celtic Guardian was the strongest monster that wasn't affected by the virus, justifying its use.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: At the end of "The Twilight Zone: Pickle Rick", Morty is turned into a pickle as well and starts crying and begging to be turned into "a dog or a cat or anything, just not an ordinary pickle, please!" So he gets turned into a pickle version of Adolf Hitler.^note Taking the piss out of a real Twilight Zone episode where a Jackass Genie also interprets a wish in a very convoluted manner and turns the main character into Hitler.
• Bedsheet Ghost: The titular character in "Scooby-Doo and the Dude with an Axe" is just wearing a sheet on his head and nothing else. Shaggy is actually more scared of him than any other ghost in the show, because the guy carrying a big axe is clearly not out to merely spook people.
  Shaggy: Like, are we looking at the same guy, Fred? That's that's just a guy with an axe! There's no, like, he… he barely has a costume on! I don't think scaring is his top priority tonight!
  Fred: Shaggy, if he wasn't trying to scare us why would he dress up as a ghost?
  Shaggy: Like, I don't know man but I'm not gonna stick around and find out!
• Big Brother Instinct: In "Kaiba gets Shadow Realm'd" one of the main reasons Yami is ready to kill Kaiba is for messing with Yugi and his grandfather.
• Biting-the-Hand Humor: "What Is Baki Even About" features a sponsorship by Gamer Supps, where JJ manage to both praise the drinks and rant about their awful Theme Naming at the same time.
  [about the "Emotional Damage" flavour] I hate that it's good. I hate that- the worse the name is, the better it tastes. I feel like if they just released... fucking "Dog Shit Evil Fucking Stupid" flavour, it would probably be the best thing, it'd be like the Lost Flavour from Kids Next Door, you know.
• Black Comedy: Not particularly common, but there are still plenty of videos that indulge in such humor. A good example would be "The Muppets get Modernized", where Fozzie decides he's going to "modernize" his material while Kermit isn't sure on the direction of the new "jokes", wondering how any of them are funny instead of just depressing or insensitive to actual events. Such examples include "I hate my wife and our loveless marriage" (to which Fozzie insists that it's funny because it's relatable, which Kermit concedes), "America? More like 'Terrible Place to Live'" (to which Fozzie claims is commentary and "informative humor"), and most notably "Bring up 9/11" (which Kermit notes isn't even a joke or a punchline, and Fozzie declares it'll "Crash and burn!"). Kermit then plainly states that Fozzie's a horrible person.
• Blunt "Yes": When the Riddler asks Batman if him being a terrorist justifies him cheating at his riddles, the latter responds "in every conceivable way".
• Bolivian Army Ending: "Gangster SpongeBob" ends with the police storming in while SpongeBob and Patrick are ready for them with their guns cocked.
• Born-Again Immortality: Discussed by Hawkman. Immediately after being killed, he comes back to life — and grows up in the usual way over several decades, making it a useless power within the context of a single fight.
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs:
  • In "Papa Smurf’s Final Solution", Papa Smurf mentions some of the "undesirable" Smurfs, such as Clumsy Smurf, Clueless Smurf, and Clumsy-Clueless Smurf, "who in hindsight should've brought this to [his] attention much sooner."
  • In "Superman Gets a Divorce", Lois Lane complains about Superman only ever showing her attention when she's in danger, like being thrown off a building or tied to a bomb... or, apparently in one case, thrown off a building while being tied to a bomb.
    Superman: That one was pretty nuts.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: While he spends the first half of the video just with Medium Awareness, in the second half of "The One with Deadpool in it", Deadpool starts talking to Solid jj (angry that he is messing up Deadpool's subtitles) and the audience (acknowledging that they may have found the videos formulaic).
• Broken Aesop: Played for Laughs in "Avengers Anti-Drug PSA". Over the course of filming the PSA, Captain America reveals his powers are not from the Super Serum, but from his addiction to cocaine. This culminates in him telling the camera that cocaine is the exemption because it gives you superpowers.
• Brooklyn Rage: More like Bleecker Street Rage, but Peter Parker/Spider-Man in "Spider-Man and his Annoying Friends" spends the whole skit chewing out his teammates in an unrestrained fury after they install NASA-level tech into his apartment without his knowledge, and another skit, "Sandman's Eternal Soul", savagely bullying Sandman simply for having water as a weakness and also for being a soulless creature deemed to be an insult towards God.
• Call-Back:
  • In "Gonzo's Grande Finale", Fozzie goes to tell Kermit that "it actually happened this time" after Gonzo kills himself by shooting himself into a wall, referencing the time he told Kermit that Gonzo died as a joke.
  • Fozzie again, in "The Muppets Get Modernized", thinks about turning his entire act into overly edgy political humor, including a line that just says "bring up 9/11". A number of sketches later, in "Fozzie's Last Joke", he finds himself on the bad end of a smear campaign by Statler and Waldorf trying to get him cancelled for calling them old. Eventually, after a hard apology, he finally manages to start his act properly… only to immediately crack a joke about 9/11 and get shot.
  • In "Mysterio, Master of Illusion", Spider-Man almost lets Mysterio go out of sheer respect upon learning that he's somehow stolen several millions from multiple banks with nothing but basic visual tricks, but sadly has to abstain because a whole lot of people died after he let Rhino off the hook for similar circumstances in "The Beautiful Simplicity of Rhino".
  • Near the end of June 2022's "Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom", an utterly dejected Lex Luthor says that he has better things to do than villainy and that he's "gonna cure, like, cancer or something". In January 2023's "Back at the Legion of Doom", when discussing the evil stuff they did the past year, Lex mentions that he decided to NOT cure cancer, which the rest of the Legion finds unimpressive and lazy; Black Manta even suggests that he tried but couldn't, then passed it off as a deliberate act.
    Luthor: Yeah, yeah, whatever, I don't see any of you not curing cancer! …Well, I guess technically you all are.
  • In "Hawkman Actually Does Something", after Hawkman bludgeoned Lex Luthor to death with his mace, Green Lantern briefly reminds the rest of the Justice League about what he said in "The Justice League Remembers Hawkman Exists" regarding Hawkman's weapon of choice being a medieval weapon.
• Call-Forward: In "Vegeta's Big Wish," the heroes talk about the impracticality of immortality, with Frieza also joining in the conversation, stating that he's become disillusioned with immortality and has changed his wish to becoming taller. This is exactly the same situation as in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, only there he's experienced immortality first-hand in the form of Hell.
• Calvin Ball: Yu-Gi-Oh Logic has the titular card game swiftly degenerate into this as Yugi and Kaiba play by a "new ruleset".
• Captain Obvious:
  • Columbo in "Columbo and the Active Shooter" has him interrogating said shooter in classic Columbo fashion while he's killing people, all while a man is yelling at the detective to just arrest him already.
  • "Saturday Morning Oppenheimer" repeatedly refers to the nuclear bomb as "the bomb that kills everyone", building up to the dramatic twist reveal that "your bomb that kills everyone? It killed everyone".
• Captain Obvious Aesop: "The Muppets Get Controversial". After his previous issues, Fozzie starts a new "highly controversial" routine that consists entirely of statements like "slavery is wrong" or "the Confederacy was bad". He gets a big round of applause for his brave commitment to the truth… until the entire thing falls apart when Statler and Waldorf start asking him about morally grey topics like the nuking of Hiroshima or the Iraq War.
• Cassandra Truth: In "Sincerely Sinister Sinestro", Hal tries to tell the Guardians of the Universe that Sinestro might be evil, but the Guardians don't believe him and even suggest he's racist to invalidate his suspicions. It's only when Sinestro announces his plans to commit genocide that they start to believe him, by which point Hal's already left.
• Censored for Comedy: An enforced variant: The Peter Parker in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends stands out from the others by having his curse words censored, and considering how potty mouthed he is, if he were uncensored, then his videos wouldn't be monetized. Even funnier is that he's the only one affected by it, as Iceman and Sandman can swear with ease and not get censored for it.
• Combat Pragmatist: Team Rocket jump Ash in "Team Rocket Wins?", completely ignoring Pikachu and skipping their theme song while he's alone in the Viridian Forest. It catches him off-guard and he's left for dead.
• Continuity Nod:
  • In "Mysterio, Master of Illusion", Spider-Man tells Mysterio he would let him go out of respect were it not for a similar incident causing disastrous results in the past.
  • In "Joker's New Sidekick", Robin objects to Bruce's patronizing treatment by pointing out that he's 25, just as he had in "Batman and Robin's Falling Out".
  • It can't be a coincidence that the first Justice League video released after "Justice League vs God", in which Mister Mxyzptlk admits he's run out of ideas for adventures for them, is a second "Justice League Tryout" video.
• "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In "Drake and Josh cause the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster", Drake & Josh head to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Russia to search for Drake's tickets to an Eric Clapton concert that were accidentally shipped there. After Drake accidentally causes a nuclear meltdown, he realizes that he should've just bought more tickets as he and Josh drive off.
• Counter-Productive Warning: In "It Was Me, Barry", Reverse Flash keeps confessing to extreme acts of pettiness towards the Flash, like expiring his milk. Each time he starts a confession, the Flash panics, thinking Reverse Flash is going to confess to having killed his mother (as he did in canon). When he admits this to Reverse Flash, the villain is horrified and asks why the Flash would assume he'd do something like that. When the Flash explains that it would make Reverse-Flash a key part of his legacy, Reverse Flash decides it's a good idea and sets out to do it.
• Creator's Culture Carryover: Played for laughs in "Papa Smurf's Final Solution" and "Mario Gets Red Pilled". In both cases, the titular character gets radicalized by Conspiracy Theorist social media… even though the conspiracies peddled there have nothing to do with the fantasy lands they live in.
  Papa Smurf: JOHN F. KENNEDY JR. IS ALIVE, AND HE WILL BE VICE-PRESIDENT!
  Brainy Smurf: WHO'S JOHN F. KENNEDY!?
  Papa Smurf: I DON'T KNOOOOOOW!!
• Death by Secret Identity: In "Uncle Ben What Happened" Uncle Ben realizes his nephew actually does have spider-powers as he's bleeding to death on the street. And since this is before Peter really became a hero and that he's indirectly responsible for letting his uncle be killed, Ben isn't proud.
  Uncle Ben: You totally do have spider powers! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!
• Deconstructive Parody: A lot of his sketches end up deconstructing the media in them and providing Surprisingly Realistic Outcomes, but in ways that are still Played for Laughs.
• A Degree in Useless: "Duel Academy is for Suckers" has Jaden and Syrus having second thoughts since all that Duel Academy prepared them for is professional dueling. Dr. Crowler told them that they can teach it instead, and this is the only place that does it. Initially subverted with Dr. Sheppard who went through Duel Academy then became a chancellor at an Ivy League institution, before being double subverted when he mentioned that he got kicked out for doctoring his credentials and that his only career choices were either McDonald's or Duel Academy.
• Deliberate Values Dissonance: Subverted in "Culturally Insensitive Captain America" where Iron Man assumes because Cap is from the 1940s he'd be shocked by women and black people having more equal rights, only for Cap to have no problem with it and point out that not everyone back then was an asshole.
• Depending on the Writer: Lampshaded by Bruce Banner in "Hulk's Questionable Rage" when asked if he and the Hulk are the same person.
• Determinator: Subverted in "Breaking Bat", where the Batfamily (comprised of Nightwing, Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, Red Hood, and an unspecified Robin) keep insisting that Batman is this… when he's actually very much defeated and is begging for them to stop encouraging Bane, who repeatedly snaps Batman's spine over his knee.
• Didn't Think This Through:
  • In "Kaiba gets Shadow Realm’d", Kaiba gives Yugi the choice of winning the duel at the cost of killing him… only for Yugi to point out that with Kaiba mugging and leaving his grandfather for dead, as well as funding the guy that stole his soul, he has every reason imaginable for wanting him dead. Not to mention they're on an island in the middle of nowhere and nobody knows Kaiba's there…
  • In "The Muppets Get Controversial", Fozzie initially gets success when stating opinions that everyone agrees on about heavy subjects but make the mistakes of saying that he takes requests leading Statler and Waldorf to ask his opinions about heavy and controversial subjects that don't have clear cut answers, like the Atomic Bombing or The Iraqi War. Leaving him as at lost to respond without getting lynched by the audience.
  • In "The Sinister Six put Spider-Man in a Coma", Spidey doesn't stop to consider that fighting six of his foes all at once might be harder than fighting them one at a time. He instead just charges straight at them and gets his ass kicked three times in a row. He only escapes by invoking the trope and goading Chameleon into demonstrating his power by transforming himself into Spider-Man, not realising that this will immediately provoke the other villains into attacking him.
• Digging Yourself Deeper: In "Spider Sensitivity", Spider-Man trying to explain how his Spider-Sense works sound more like him trying to justify profiling a black person and it's not helped when the Spider-Sense goes off again and lead him to accuse an innocent gay couple who only result in him looking homophobic as well.
• Disappointed by the Motive:
  • In "You Choose Spider-Man", after discussing what they should do if they team up, Spider-Man comes to the realization that Green Goblin is ultimately just a guy in a goblin costume who wants to kill people, disappointing him considering Goblin's philosophical speech prior.
  • Subverted in "The Beautiful Simplicity of Rhino". Spider-Man asks Rhino what complex or sympathetic motivation that he has, only for Rhino to explain that he just likes to run into walls. Spidey snarks that it sounds destructive, but follows it up by expressing happiness that a villain he met has a refreshingly simple motive.
  • More a case of "Disappointed by the Lack of Motive" in "Fred's Last Mystery". The gang, Fred in particular, are disappointed to find out that the ghost haunting the park is… some schmuck named Paul, haunting the park just because he "likes being a ghoul".
  • Spider-Man in "Kingpin is Fat (Laugh)" can't believe that Kingpin became the biggest crime boss in New York due to being too fat to climb a ladder, assuming something more personal must have happened to him instead.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Palpatine orders one of his admirals to blow up a Space Olive Garden after he fails to make a reservation there for him and Vader due to Space COVID restrictions in "Darth Vader Changes his Mind".
• Discriminate and Switch: Zig-Zagged in "Culturally Insensitive Captain America"; while Captain America isn't nearly as racist or sexist as Iron Man thought, he does still go ballistic upon realizing that the fan who asked him for his autograph has a German surname. It could be PTSD.
• Dissonant Serenity: Hawkman in "Hawkman Actually Does Something" never drops his oblivious dumbassery, still stumbling his way through trying to explain his quoting of outdated memes and making cheesy cliched one-liners, all while caked in blood after beating Lex Luthor to death and with the rest of the Justice League begging him to stop.
• A Dog Named "Dog": Discussed in "Bakugan Was Impossible", with Dan realizing this in relation to Drago.
  Dan: Drago? …Drago the Dragon?
  Masquerade: …Well I mean when you say it out loud-
  Dan: I should have just bought fuckin' baseball cards.
• Do Wrong, Right: In "Kaiba gets Shadow Realm'd", just as Atem is about to fatally attack Kaiba, Yugi interrupts, asking whether Atem is really going to kill Kaiba… using Celtic Guardian, who barely has enough Attack Points to get the job done. Yugi suggests he use Summoned Skull instead for that sweet overkill factor, which Atem does.
• Driven to Suicide:
  • In "Mario Learns the Truth", Mario finds out that not only Princess Peach has been sleeping with Bowser, but that his brother and all his friends had already knew and assumed that Mario saving Peach is just part of his elaborate fantasy. Mario reacts to the news by pulling a gun at his head, but he has 99 extra lives and just revives instantly.
  • In "Gonzo's Grande Finale", Gonzo states his intention to do this after Camilla dies in an unspecified accident. Fozzie's puns certainly don't help.
    Scooter: What do you even have planned?
    Gonzo: I'm going to shoot myself!
    Scooter: Out of a cannon-
    Gonzo: With a gun.
    Scooter: Are you gonna catch the bullet…?
    Gonzo: Technically!
• Dude, Where's My Respect?:
  • Aquaman in "Classic Aquaman" takes umbrage with how Batman treats him, taking him away from his heroism underseas to unclog a toilet in the Hall of Justice. Aquaman even points out that he's the king of Atlantis — indeed, he's shown as a noble diplomat and warrior in the beginning — and yet gets reduced to such a menial task on land while the rest of the Justice League go on their separate missions. Batman tries to defend himself by pointing out it's because they tend to just leave Aquaman out of the missions that he decided to call him in for this one.
  • "The Justice League Remembers Hawkman Exists" is this for Hawkman, as the Leaguers start to realize there's not a lot of benefit to having him on the roster: he can fly, he swings a mace (which murders people), he very slowly reincarnates after being killed in battle… and that's about it. Batman even points out that while Aquaman's "sucking" is fun and part of his personal brand, Hawkman is just kind of pathetic. After Hawkman pleads for tolerance and respect, they all gain a newfound appreciation for Aquaman instead.
• Duels Decide Everything:
  • Implied to be the case in "Yu-Gi-Oh Woes", as not only would the police apparently be ready if Yugi tried to duel his way out of arrest, but they also have top-tier meta decks as well, much to Yugi's horror to learn in his plan to live only by dueling.
  • Subverted in "Basically Pokémon Red and Blue", where Red, after finding the Team Rocket base in Celadon City, expects to battle a group of grunts but gets beaten up instead.
• Dying Dream: "Breaking Down" is implied to be Walter White's. It starts with Walt telling Jesse that they need to cook meth, only for Jesse to explain that they already did and Walt can rest now. After feeling a headache, Walt meets characters who are dead in Breaking Bad; Gus and Mike tells Walt to rest, Hank offers him a drink.
• Emergency Temporal Shift: "Back to the Future in 5 Seconds" uses a similar setup to the one in the movie, except Doc's time machine can only travel 5 seconds backward in time, resulting in Doc and Marty arriving at the exact same time the Libyan terrorist starts shooting at them.
• Enemy Civil War: Invoked and Defied. In "The Sinister Six Put Spider-Man in a Coma", Spidey asks them who really is the leader, however the they all agree its Doc Ock.
• Enter Stage Window: According to "Superman Gets a Divorce", Clark Kent was fired from the Daily Planet months ago for all his unexplained disappearances... but since he "goes to work" by flying in through the 21st floor window, he's never noticed. Since he doesn't bother anybody, they just let him do his thing for free anyway.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • Despite being portrayed as a Politically Incorrect Hero, Batman in "Batman Meets Bizarro" is ashamed by Superman when he believes Bizarro is mentally handicapped and Superman is fighting him for that, even showing sympathy by letting Bizarro be an honorary Robin. Unfortunately Superman was telling the truth about what Bizarro is like.
  • In "The Justice League Remembers Hawkman Exists", Batman makes a witty banter towards Aquaman, asking if he found Nemo. Hawkman then tries to dive in by calling him an "idiot stupid bastard", which no one finds funny. Hawkman then gets defensive when the League thinks he's useless (all he has is his mace, and his Born-Again Immortality reincarnation ability), and retorts that they have Aquaman. Batman reiterates by telling him that making fun of Aquaman is meant to be light-hearted since he doesn't take Batman's jokes seriously, but Hawkman provided no contributions, and thinks it's sad.
  • After contextualizing about what the Green Goblin said about the people of city eventually turning on Spider-Man, Spider-Man agrees with what he says and is willing to join him. But after realizing that the Green Goblin is only doing his villainy For the Evulz now and that the speech earlier turned out to be empty, Spider-Man tells the Green Goblin repeatedly that he's weird, causing their alliance to break off.
  • Kaiba in "Kaiba Makes the Rules" is horrified at how the people in Domino City so easily turn to violence and anarchy, although he is a bit curious when someone asks if nuclear weapons are legal. It turns out he accidentally went to Newark, New Jersey, much to his horror.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • Meowth in "Pikachu Is Sick and Twisted" is disgusted learning from Pikachu's Pokémon Speak that he's a Holocaust denier, which is a sentiment the rest of Team Rocket shares when they hear Meowth's translations.
  • Palpatine of all people is flabbergasted in "Darth Vader Changes his Mind" when Vader decides he'd rather just kill Luke than try to turn him, pointing out the two of them are family.
  • Mr. Freeze in "Mr. Freeze Chills Out" is horrified upon learning that Harmless Freezing does not apply and he actually killed Robin and various other people he believed could just be thawed out. He's then disgusted when it turns out Batman lied to toy with his emotions and stall for time to let Robin free himself.
  • The rest of the Evil Justice League from "The Injustice League" is just as horrified by the implications of what Evil Batman and Robin are saying in regards to what it means for the regular Batman.
  • Reverse Flash in "It Was Me, Barry" is willing to do various petty things to Barry, but he is horrified when he hears Barry thought he killed his mother, insisting he wouldn't do such a thing. However, this is then Subverted at the end of the video as Barry seemingly inadvertently gives him the idea to do just that and secure a place in the Flash's legacy, running off and laughing maniacally as Barry gives chase.
  • Lex Luthor in "Back at the Legion Of Doom" doesn't know if he should be proud or disgusted with Joker for kicking a puppy, considering it "a bit fucked up" and deciding to change topics due to it killing the mood.
    • Every member of the Legion expresses shock at the newest member of the group, Kanye West, saying that he likes Hitler.
  • Using Magneto's memories of the Holocaust as a weapon against him, and then using it on two other members of the X-Men to prove its effectiveness, disgusts Magneto.
    Magneto: You sick fuck, Charles.
  • Doctor Doom may be a ruthless megalomaniac, but he's firmly anti-slavery and says that his first act upon taking over the world will be to abolish it forever.
• Evil Is Petty: Reverse Flash in "It Was Me, Barry" is even pettier than in the source material. When going back to torment Flash at the cemetery, when assumed to say that he killed Barry's mother, he instead gloated how he caused Barry's milk to expire, have the bills come in late and moved the sofa. He actually got disturbed at the implication of doing what Barry thought he'd say in spite of the obvious setup. Though this doesn't stop him from running off to do the act by the video's end once Barry ends up inadvertently giving him the idea.
• Evil Twin: Parodied; the appearance of the Injustice League puts uncomfortable scrutiny on Batman when Evil Batman, his moral opposite, announces that he doesn't believe in racial segregation, and Evil Robin adds that his entirely platonic companion Evil Batman has never locked him in a giant bird cage wearing only his underwear as a punishment.^note According to SolidJJ, Evil Batman and Robin are in fact just screwing with the JL, though Batman is a flat-earther.
  Batman: I don't know why they're saying this, if they're trying to get in our heads or what, but it's working! We need to stop this evil Justice League before it's too late!
  Evil Batman: THE EARTH IS DEFINITELY A SPHERE AND NOT FLAT.
  Batman: …All right, so hear me out.
• Extra Oredinary: Discussed in "Magento Always Wins". The titular character's ability to control iron means that he can also control people (since their blood has iron in it), and even the Earth's axis.
• Extremely Short Timespan: In "Scooby Doo and the Horrors of Bankruptcy", a now homeless Fred explains that, ever since Mystery Inc. disbanded due to financial woes, he's been living in his van, was stabbed by gangbangers, lost so much blood that he spent a week unconscious, escaped a fire that led to him experiencing hallucinations, and is apparently now banned from entering any Barnes & Noble stores. Fred believes all this happened over the course of a couple years, then Shaggy reveals that it's only been a few months since the gang split up.
• Felony Misdemeanor: In "Death Note But They Order Fast Food", L concludes Light has to be Kira because he suggested a more expensive order (by a dollar) even though L was the one paying.
• Final Solution: It's right there in the title of "Papa Smurf's Final Solution", when Papa Smurf realizes he needs to deal with the population problem of Smurfs, planning to wipe out all the troublesome Smurfs in favor of the "master Smurf race", much to Brainy's horror.
• Flat "What": A common reaction in many of Solid JJ's videos. One example would be "The Avengers Interview Hulk", where Iron Man only has this to say upon finding out that Hulk has a Ph.D.
• For the Evulz:
  • In "You Choose Spider-Man", Spider-Man initially agrees to side with the Green Goblin, but after hearing that Green Goblin has already gotten revenge, has no need for money, and has no real plan how to take over and run a city, Spider-Man deduces that the Green Goblin is just a weirdo in a costume killing people with no deep motivations, thus ending their alliance.
  • Rhino reveals in "The Beautiful Simplicity of Rhino" that he smashes through walls (and people) simply because he likes doing so, rather than having any overly complicated and/or sympathetic motive. Spider-Man actually expresses appreciation for finally meeting a villain without a complex backstory.
  • "Fred's Last Mystery" involves Mystery Inc. capturing a guy named Paul who dressed up as a Bedsheet Ghost and terrorized people at a local park, even going as far as to build his own ghost pyrotechnics. Why was Paul doing any of this at all?
    Paul: I like being a ghoul.
    Fred: You like being a ghoul, I'm gonna- I'm gonna hurt you physically!
  • In "Everybody Loves Aquaman", Lex Luthor informs the Justice League that he and the rest of the Legion of Doom constructed an underwater base where they plan on killing every fish. When Superman asks why, Lex just simply says "Fuck 'em!" However, it turns out that said plan was just simply to humor Black Manta, who is basically Aquaman's evil counterpart, so this trope might've simply just been an excuse.
• Forgot I Could Fly: In "Hawkman Actually Does Something", the other members of the Justice League are shocked by Hawkman's violence and only try to verbally stop him from doing drastic actions rather than trying it physically when they easily could.
  Superman: WHY ARE WE JUST STANDING HERE?!
• Freak Out: There's times when a character (usually the Genre Savvy one) does this: One of the more notable ones is when Peter Parker sees that his apartment in Bleeker Street has had NASA-level tech installed into it.
• Freudian Excuse: Parodied by the Kingpin in Kingpin is Fat (Laugh). His mobster father took him on a job one night, and young Wilson got caught and arrested because he was too overweight to climb a ladder… and that's it. Spider-Man is flabbergasted trying to figure out how being a fat kid correlates with his decision to become the biggest crime boss in New York, especially since Fisk has otherwise lived a pretty happy life. Kingpin is equally confused by Spider-Man's inability to figure it out, since it seems pretty obvious to him.
• Gainax Ending:
  • In "Bluto has had enough of Popeye's shenanigans," Bluto states his refusal to fight Popeye if he eats some spinach, until Popeye starts muttering unintelligibly. When Bluto asks what is in the spinach, Popeye mumbles, "A little bit of mercury." There is no follow-up after this.
  • In "Batman With Prep Time," Batman manages to convince Lex Luthor to give him prep time to foil their plan, and Superman is left flabbergasted, saying, "Was that real?" Then Batman responds, "Yeah, yeah Clark, how 'bout you get real?" turning Superman into the live-action version of himself.
  • At the end of "Ash Says Goodbye," James and Meowth wind up in "the end," where Meowth decides to "become one with the force" and disappears into thin air, prompting James to say, "What the fuck?"
  • In "Snake's Generosity," Snake's gifts for Raiden culminate in him giving Raiden a cyanide pill, "in case [he doesn't] succeed," and then Snake, for some reason, swallows the pill himself, causing him to foam at the mouth "le epic style."
• Genius Bruiser: Hulk in The Avengers Interview Hulk plays up Hulk's intelligence more, not only stating that he can physically come to blows but also has a PhD and is a nuclear physicist in his spare time. When Iron Man manages to prevent him from applying, Hulk flabbergasts the Avengers by stating that he'll see them in court for unfair hiring practices.
• Go-Karting with Bowser: "Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom" features a random scene of Hawkman and the Joker of all people chilling at a combination KFC and Taco Bell.
• Goldfish Poop Gang: Polka Dot Man commissioned one in "Batman's Greatest Foes", resulting in a series of ridiculous villains consisting of Calendar Man, the Eraser, Crazy Quilt, Condiment King, Kite Man, Danny DeVito Penguin from Batman Returns (who objects to his inclusion as he's "one of the cool ones"), Big Wheel (who isn’t even a DC character, but just wanted to be there), and the Bad Samaritan. Batman was unimpressed with the lot, and Polka Dot Man gave up as a result.
• Gory Discretion Shot: In "Jimmy's Last Brain Blast", whenever the characters' heads explode, the video immediately cuts to an outside view of the Neutron residence, although the sound of heads exploding can still be heard.
• Grandfather Clause: JJ did eventually get enough clout to find actual voice actresses for the women in his skits. Wonder Woman remained unvoiced anyway, because she was the most recurring female character up to that point and it only makes the joke funnier now that everyone else has a voice. "Justice League VS God" plays it for all its worth: making Wonder Woman finally talk is considered hitting the Godzilla Threshold… and it turns out there's a very good reason for her usual silence.
• Greed: This is the sole reason for why Seto Kaiba has essentially made all other jobs aside from being school faculty at Duel Academies completely null and void in "Duel Academy is for Suckers".
• Harmless Freezing: Subverted. In "Mr. Freeze Chills Out", Mr. Freeze encases Robin in a block of ice, and Batman starts panicking and begging Freeze to thaw him out, reasoning that people's cells explode when frozen, causing instant death. Mr. Freeze is horrified by the realization, stating that he only wanted to trap people in ice and didn't mean to kill them. Double subverted when it turns out that Batman was just bluffing and distracting Freeze long enough for Robin to thaw out of the ice, and for the duo to start beating Freeze up.
• Harmless Villain: Mysterio in "Mysterio, Master of Illusion", for all of his boasting, relies largely on incredibly simple magic tricks, and then just makes animal puppets with his hands and fails to do the "Live long and prosper" handsign. Despite this, Mysterio somehow managed to have made off with a "couple million" dollars by robbing multiple banks, with Spider-Man almost being impressed enough to let him go (before remembering what happened when he did that with Rhino).
• Heel–Face Turn: Exaggerated in "Genocidal Spider-Man is a Nice Guy". Spider-Carnage says that he's beyond reasoning with Peter Parker, but Uncle Ben's sudden appearance causes Spider-Carnage to realize that destroying everything with a black hole is wrong.
• Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Deconstructed in "Just a Burning Pokémon". Just like in the games, Professor Oak asks Ash and his rival Gary their gender and names, which Ash and Gary react to in confusion. Him forgetting his grandson Gary's name in particular is Played for Drama, with Gary being in disbelief over his grandfather possibly going senile, and lamenting that they're "supposed to have so many years left". And then it loops back to comedy with Ash taking advantage of the situation and deciding to tell Oak that Gary's name is actually "Dickfuck".
• Hero with an F in Good: While most of the heroic characters are somewhat less purehearted than their comic counterparts, Professor X is a particuarly extreme example. On the one hand, he really is trying to save the world for mutants. On the other, in his three appearences thus far, he's randomly murdered people with his mind, scammed the X-Men and forced random people to mentally relive the entire holocaust to prove the point.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: In "The Justice League Remember Hawkman Exists", Batman notes having stopped Mr. Freeze from freezing Gotham’s water supply, having used one of his Batarangs to cause Mr. Freeze’s tank to explode, freezing himself.
• Hope Spot: In "Breaking Bat", at one point Bane smashing Batman's back over his knee realigns his spine in what Batman calls a "medical miracle". He then is inadvertently taunted into breaking it again by Nightwing merely seconds later.
• Horrifying Hero: Hawkman of all people turns into this in "Hawkman Actually Does Something", brutally beating Lex Luthor to death with his mace before shooting Black Manta with a gun repeatedly once the helmet prevents the mace from working a second time, all while the rest of the Justice League watch in horror and desperately try to talk down the blood-soaked hero.
  Green Lantern: What did I tell you guys?!? I told you I don't know how you could use a medieval weapon in a peaceful way!
• I Am Big Boned: When Spider-Man expresses disappointment that Kingpin being too fat to climb a ladder as a kid is what led to his villainy, and points out that Kingpin has apparently done nothing to change that part about himself despite it being the source of all his woes, Kingpin tries to explain that he is actually very muscular in spite of his fat appearance. This is actually true (at least in the TV show where the video gets its screenshots from), but Spider-Man doesn't believe a word of it, saying it sounds like something Eric Cartman would say.
• I Can't Feel My Legs!: In "The Daily Bugle’s BREAKING NEWS", J. Jonah Jameson reveals that he's been sitting behind his desk for so long that his legs don't work.
• Implausible Deniability: In "Hulk's Questionable Rage", Bruce Banner tries to blame him hulking out at the mention of the Immigrant Heritage Celebration Parade as him just not liking parades, despite the Hulk very loudly exclaiming "MINORITIES?!" when he transforms. Iron Man, Captain America and Thor aren't fooled by this.
• Instantly Proven Wrong: In "Batman With Prep Time", Superman gets fed up with Batman's insistence that he's always prepared for everything and tries to point out that not everyone will give him a chance to prepare, only for Lex Luthor to do just that.
  Superman: Batman, you of all people should be the last person not to understand that tragedy strikes from nowhere! You should know better than anyone that if someone really wanted to hurt you, they're not gonna give you a heads-up-
  Lex Luthor: [suddenly appears on the view screen] Heads-up, Superfriends! I'll be killing you now!
  Superman: You can't write this.
• In Spite of a Nail: Gus Fring still dies in an explosion in "Cooking Bad" despite Walter and Jesse deciding not to sell drugs. Jesse even says that it was like a "predetermined event in the natural flow of time".
• Insufferable Genius:
  • In Batman DESTROYS the Justice League with FACTS and LOGIC, Batman made his case against the rest of the Justice League about why he should lead the Justice League by smugly pointing out his coworkers' weaknesses.
  • In The Avengers Interview Hulk, Iron Man was acting condescending when Hulk tries to apply to the Avengers, but then started to lose his cool when Hulk mentions that he has a PhD and is a nuclear physicist in his spare time.
• Intelligible Unintelligible:
  • The titular character in "Pikachu is Sick and Twisted", who during a battle against Team Rocket's Meowth, apparently starts reciting horrific Holocaust denial arguments and even Mein Kampf in Pokémon Speak, if Meowth's responses were any indication.
    Ash: W-What's wrong?
    Meowth: Well, he— he's saying that—
    Pikachu: Pika!
    Meowth: No, there's undeniable proof that the Holocaust happened!
  • Aquaman zig-zags between this and The Unintelligible; While on land, Aquaman sounds like he's constantly gargling on water, and it's only because of the subtitles that the viewers can understand him. Whether the other members of the Justice League can properly make out what he says vary by video; Batman admits in "Classic Aquaman" that he's mostly been guessing what Aquaman was saying during their conversation, but other times, like in "Everybody Loves Aquaman", the characters seem to understand him just fine.
• Interactive Narrator: At the end of "Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom", Lex Luthor realizes the existence of the narrator and that he is the one who has been leaking his plans to the Justice League. Then the Legion of Doom proceeds to beat the narrator up.
• Ironic Echo: The first line of "You Choose Spider-Man" is Spider-Man telling the Green Goblin "I will never join you, Goblin. You're insane." In the middle of Green Goblin's speech, Spider-Man does agree with him and they make an alliance...only for it to break it off in a couple of minutes because Spider-Man realizes that the Green Goblin is really insane.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Timmverse's Superman in "Superman Meets Lex Luthor" acts as a Smug Super to Luthor, undermining Luthor's greatness by telling him how lame he is compared to the great Superman and what Superman has done for the people and what he can do with his superhuman abilities, such as being able to fly to Venus to punch some space terrorists and come back before his coffee gets cold. Superman still chooses to help the little guy in trivial matters, such as flying to Pakistan to patch a kid's knee who fell from a bike.
• Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Characters such as Papa Smurf and Barney start off civil enough when talking about the subject in question, but once they start to discuss their plans and ideas about it they rather quickly descend into manic insanity.
• Just Eat Gilligan:
  • Deconstructed in "Scooby-Doo Has Had Enough". Scooby bypasses the whole mystery by just shooting the Malevolent Masked Man on the spot.^note  Ironically, in the actual episode, the man that Scooby shot really was a robot. The guy dies, and Shaggy is horrified to the point he suggests Scooby will be put down as a result.
  • In "Team Rocket Wins?", Team Rocket decide to ignore Pikachu and just jump Ash while he was alone talking with Pikachu.
    James: I'm more in disbelief that it's taken us this long to realize "hey, let's just jump the kid!" I mean, it's Criminal 101 and we've never done it before!
• Just Testing You: At the end of "Doctor Strange Multiverse of Stooges", Moe claims that he is just testing Larry and already figures out what's the deal with Doctor Strange and Wong before Larry does, even though he outright says "not a clue" when Curly asks him before.
• Kick the Dog: In "Back at the Legion Of Doom", Lex Luthor is asking the group members what evil things they've gotten up to. Joker casually (and happily) informs the group that he kicked a puppy. Lex isn't sure whether to be disgusted or not because they're supposed to be evil. The dog wasn't even barking or in his way, so Joker walked outside, deliberately found a puppy, and punted it.
• Kirk Summation: After conversing with Green Goblin about their plan if they work together and finding out Goblin's original motive, Spider-Man comes to a realization and sums up Green Goblin's entire thing.
  Spider-Man: Why exactly are you even doing this? I mean you've said you killed the people you wanted to, you— you don't need money. Are you seriously just a guy dressed up as a goblin fucking killing people? Is that really your thing? Is that it? […] I mean you came out the gate with all this philosophical bullshit about good and evil and choosing a side. You just wanna fucking kill people!
• Killed Mid-Sentence: Ash manages mutter an "Oh shi-" before he gets Killed Offscreen by Jessie's Arbok and James's Weezing.
• Know When to Fold 'Em:
  • In "Bluto has had enough of Popeye's shenanigans", as soon as Popeye gets his spinach out Bluto surrenders and decides he's outta there. Because every time the spinach comes out, he's gotten beaten; the last time he even needed therapy.
  • In "Magneto Always Wins", after Magneto tells the X-Men how he's realized the full potential of his magnetic powers, Colossus, who's entirely made of metal, decides to sit the fight out.
• Kryptonite Is Everywhere: Batman was all too proud to point that out to Superman.
  Superman: Here we go again with the Kryptonite. Bruce, it's a very rare stone.
  Batman: Rare my ass! Everyone has one, Clark! A purse snatcher I stopped the other day had like three of them.
  Superman: Well, I admit it's become a bit of a problem.
  Batman: It used to be just the green one, but now there's all these other ones. There's the red one, the black one, [smiles smugly] the pink one.
  Superman: invokedWe don't talk about the pink one.

L-Z

• Lame Pun Reaction: In "Justice League Tryouts 2", the Justice League decide to replace Batman with Catman when they realise the latter has all of the former's skills but none of his character flaws. Then Catman starts making a string of unfunny cat puns... one Smash Cut later, Batman's back in the team.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: "The Three Stooges break the 4th wall" stops itself short from actually mentioning that they are in a video, but they points out that they are stuck in the same poses and Moe's slap sounds wrong, they don't have enough budget to make something bigger, and that the joke needs to be stretched into one-minute.
• The Magic Poker Equation: "Exodia Obliterates The Game" shows what would happen if the equation followed the Rule of Funny instead of the Rule of Drama. Yami Yugi draws the eponymous Instant-Win Condition, on his first turn, three games in a row, getting Kaiba so angry that he suffers a stroke. (Then again, Yugi claims he was cheating to hell and back on that one.)
• Maternal Death? Blame the Child!: Darth Vader tells Palpatine that he believes Luke is responsible for Padme’s death, finding Death by Childbirth to be more probable than "losing the will to live".
• Meaningful Echo: SpongeBob spouts his catchphrase "I'm ready!" as he and Patrick prepare to trade fire with the police. Later in "Gangster SpongeBob 2: A New Day", when Patrick decides to make things right with the citizen, but Squidward asks him if he is ready for the risk of coming into conflict again. Patrick ponders a bit, SpongeBob's words echoes in his mind, and says that, yes, "[he's] ready."
• Medium Awareness: Deadpool naturally does this when he appears in "The One with Deadpool in it", telling Spider-Man that they are fictional and exist in a video with various formulas and he can tell when the art style is going to change.
• Medium Blending: "Mysterio, Master of Illusion" blends in live-action footage of Mysterio's cheap tricks with the usual drawn still image.
• Mistaken for Racist:
  • Played with in "Sincerely Sinister Sinestro", where Hal's insistence that Sinestro has the look of an evil guy is interpreted by the Guardians as him assuming purple-skinned people are evil. However, they also correctly point out that Hal has a racist nickname for his Asian friend.
  • Defied in "Ash Says Goodbye", where Ash puts off his mental breakdown long enough to make sure he didn't accidentally offend Brock by telling him to "open his eyes".
• Motive Decay: In "You Choose Spider-Man", Green Goblin admits that he already killed everybody whom he sets out to kill (as depicted in the first Spider Man film) and now is just winging it. Spider-Man eventually realize that his motive now is simply to kill for the sake of it, no matter how Goblin tries to deny it.
• Moral Myopia: Riddler complains at Batman in "Riddle Me This, Batman" for cheating to solve his riddles, only for Batman to shoot back by pointing out he's a terrorist and doesn't have room to whine about cheating.
• Motor Mouth: Inverted. Compared to his heroic counterpart, Evil Flash talks very slowly, taking about a minute to say "I am the slowest man alive".
• Mundane Made Awesome: In "Beyblade Was Intense", the dramatic banter between Gingka and Ryuga is accompanied by constant cuts to real life footage of Pegasus and L-Drago "fighting". Stuff like Ryuga using a "forbidden technique" amounts to just kicking the plastic arena, and Gingka's "final form" after losing is him outright just throwing Pegasus at Ryuga. However, despite the anti-climatic footage of the clash between Pegasus and L-Drago, everyone treats it as seriously as they would have in the anime, at least until Gingka throws Pegasus at Ryuga, as well as the announcer shortly after.
• Mundane Solution: Batman solves Riddler's riddles in "Riddle Me This, Batman" by looking up the answers on his phone, much to Riddler's annoyance.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: Chameleon gets it from both sides in The Sinister Six put Spider-Man in a Coma, with Spider-Man initially referring to the team as all his greatest enemies… and Chameleon. Later, Doc Ock brags about the team having his intelligence, Rhino and the Scorpion's strength, Shocker's tenacity, Mysterio's illusions… and Chameleon is there.
  Chameleon: Again, what the fuck?
• My God, What Have I Done?: Team Rocket get hit with guilt about killing Ash when they realize that they didn't remember why they wanted to steal his Pikachu in particular and could have just taken one of hundreds of Pikachu they stole one time and give it to Giovanni.
• Mythology Gag: In "Scooby Doo and the Horrors of Bankruptcy", to show that Shaggy's actually doing pretty well for himself after the Time Skip, he's shown having switched out his classic duds for his Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! outfit. Then the video ends with Fred about to take Shaggy's kidneys, which actually happened to Norville in Velma, just without Fred's involvement.
• Never Heard That One Before: When Larry mistakenly thinks Strange has a strange name based on him saying "My name is Strange" in "Doctor Strange Multiverse of Stooges", Strange responds by saying that the gag has been done to death.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
  • "Batman Meets Bizarro" involves Batman trying to talk to Bizarro, calling Superman out for what he perceives as bullying. Even when Supes tried reasoning that Bizarro means the exact opposite of what he says it fell on deaf ears, so he just left the two. Batman then offered a role as honorary Robin to Bizarro, to predictably disastrous results for Metropolis.
  • "Doctor Doom's Intervention" has Reed Richards managing to talk some sense into Doctor Doom and them walking off into sunset, which normally would be a good thing except they completely forgot about the bombs that Doom planted earlier and the bombs end up killing thousands of civilians.
  • "The Beautiful Simplicity of Rhino" has Spider-Man deciding to let Rhino go on his wall-destroying rampage, because of how refreshingly simple Rhino's motive is, only realizing too late that people will also get hurt during Rhino's rampage.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant:
  • Barney Rubble in "The Flintstones Destroy the World". He describes all of the horrible applications fire has and how detrimental it will be for mankind in the future. Then, he laughs it off. Fred isn't amused.
  • Barney plays the same role in "The Flintstones Split the Atom", creating a tool that could reduce rocks to atoms in mere seconds and musing what would happen if he atomized the whole town. He brushes this aside before Fred strangles Barney and starts smashing his head with a rock.
• NOT!: This exchange from "Mr. Freeze Chills Out":
  Mr. Freeze: Ah, if it isn't the dynamic duo. How cool it is to see you here.
  Batman: Enough of these-
  Mr. Freeze: NOT!
  Batman: (Beat) …Enough of these games, Freeze!
• The Nothing After Death: Only mentioned. In "Magneto Always Wins", Professor Xavier turns off Magneto's brain, and after restoring function to his brain, Magneto says that there's nothing.
• "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer:
  • In "Speed Racer and the 2nd Amendment", Speed Racer gets extremely upset that he gets second place to another racer who was racing to get the prize money for life-saving surgery for his sick sister. Solid jj makes sure to emphasize via the subtitles that "This actually happens in the show".
  • The video description for "Professor X's Last Resort" takes great pains to point out that the titular "last resort" — Xavier forcing Magneto to relive the Holocaust — is something Xavier has actually done, even linking to the original clip that inspired the skit.
• Not Quite Flight: Discussed in "The Avengers Interview Hulk". When Iron Man tells Hulk that one of his special abilities is flight, Thor interrupts to say that he also can fly, but Iron Man disputes whether the "swinging the hammer thing" count as flying.
• Obviously Evil: Hal informs the Guardians of the Universe of his suspicions that his fellow Green Lantern Sinestro may be evil, specifically noting his name sounding like "sinister" and his evil-looking mustache.
• Obviously Not Fine: Despite screaming in agony as he burns alive in "The Not-So-Fantastic Four", Johnny insists he is fine to the others up until he swallows a melted piece of his nose.
• Orphaned Etymology: Zigzagged for laughs. Alien characters will sometimes express ignorance of Earth-based expressions only to make blatant pop culture references in the same skit. For instance, the Guardians in "Sincerely Sinister Sinestro" don't know what "sinister" means or what a train is but are familiar with Charlie Chaplin, Adolf Hitler and the Super Mario Bros.; and in "Anakin's Moral Dilemma", Anakin is utterly confused by the idiom "it's a dog eat dog world" because he doesn't know what a dog is, but apparently him, Palpatine and Windu know the California Raisins.
• Overly Long Gag: The entire joke of "Trunks Enters The Fight"; Trunks is about to use Burning Attack to finish off Freeza, but the hand motions required for the technique to work take forever for Trunks to complete (to the point of Trunks botching it the first time because he forgot one of the hand motions), with everyone else just waiting for the attack to even happen (even Freeza and King Cold, the former just wanting to die and the latter because he's interested in seeing where it goes). Trunks ends up deciding to use the attack on King Cold, to the aggravation of the Z-Fighters and to Cell's amusement.
• Place Worse Than Death: New Jersey, if Seto Kaiba having a major Freak Out and actively begging to get out of the place upon realizing the city he's hosting a tournament in is any evidence.
• Pragmatic Villainy: In "The Legion of Doom Ends Democracy", Superman calls Lex Luthor's bluff that he's going to kill everyone. He was correct that he didn't actually mean it: not only was Luthor just looking for something to shock the Justice League, which so far has agreed to his proposals to re-educate the population (free education), cutting the flow of money to hospitals by making it so people can go without paying (free healthcare) and disband the IRS but continue taxing the rich (other than Batman, they're all anti-taxation), but Luthor also doesn't know how the Legion of Doom would even go about doing that in the first place.
• Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Scooby-Doo delivers one in "Scooby-Doo has had enough" when he decides to pull out a gun to fight the monster chasing them.
  Shaggy: Scoob, I know it's like, mildly scary, but in all likelihood that's just some dude in a costume!
  Scooby: Re it man or remon, ret Rod decide!
• Poke the Poodle:
  • Reverse Flash in "It Was Me, Barry" caused Barry's milk to expire, had his bills come in late, and moved his sofa, in contrast to how Barry thought he was going to confess to killing his mother (he didn't).
  • The Legion of Doom's takeover of the US Senate ends up being this. Re-education ends up meaning free education for everyone, cutting the funding to hospitals by making people still able to go without paying means free healthcare, Luthor plans to dismantle govermental facilities such as the IRS, and his "Luthor Internment Camps" look like a typical idyllic suburb.
• Police Are Useless: The police officer in "Scooby-Doo and the Dude with an Axe" definitely qualifies, with him leaving the Mystery Gang to deal with the "ghost":
  Officer: Well, I'll leave you to it.
  Shaggy: Now well hold on, you're not going to do anything?!
  Officer: What exactly do you expect me to do?
  Shaggy: Like, I don't know? Maybe arrest the menacing lumber jack holding an axe?!
  Officer: All I see is that ghost, friend.
  Shaggy: But I- He- You- I- Can't-
  Officer: You can't arrest ghosts.
  Shaggy: He's wearing jeans, man!
• Politically Incorrect Hero:
  • Batman had his moments, like when he was dissing the rest of the Justice League and they pointed out that Wonder Woman had no flaws, he retorted that she's a woman. Then in a later episode, when the Justice League met the Evil Justice League, their "complete opposite" counterparts from the Evil Dimension, Evil Batman proclaims that his partnership with Evil Robin is purely professional and non-romantic, that supporting racial segregation is a terrible ideology, and that the Earth is, in fact, a sphere, and not flat. Batman denied the first two charges, which could make this a subversion, but then he's implied to actually believe the Earth is flat.
  • Subverted with Captain America, who in "Culturally Insensitive Captain America" was being drilled by Iron Man over all the societal changes since he had been unfrozen. Cap was clearly perturbed at the implication that he was sexist and racist, stating that he stands for the ideals of America first and foremost. And then he was asked to sign an autograph by a young fan named Max Schneider, which led to a furious beatdown of the latter since Cap didn't shake off his WWII mentality.
    • Played straight however with Iron Man in the same episode, who complains about all the rights women have these days while catching Cap up to speed, something the latter takes note of after clearing up that he's not sexist or racist.
      Captain America: Are you disappointed?
      Iron Man: What? No-
      Captain America: Were you hoping I was racist?
      Iron Man: Why would I hope that?
      Captain America: I mean that whole bit about women kinda came from the heart.
  • In "Sincerely Sinister Sinestro", when one of the Guardians accuses Hal that the reason he thinks Sinestro is evil is because of his purple skin, he responds with "that's not entirely true". One of the Guardians also points out that his nickname for Thomas Kalmaku, an Inuit, was "Pieface".
  • Played with, but eventually exploited in "Spider Sensitivity", where Spiderman's senses have him point to people who he believes were up to no good. Unfortunately, it took him to a black man who was doing nothing wrong, leading Spidey to awkwardly explain himself. His senses went off again, pointing to two gruff construction workers that pointed out that they were gay. Finally Spidey pointed at a lone blond, making him relieved, until it turned out said blond was mute and speaking in sign language. Spidey then left distraught, much to the delight of the people, but unfortunately Spidey should have trusted his senses on the mute that set off a bomb immediately afterwards.
  • The Hulk in "Hulk's Questionable Rage" hulks out at the mention of immigrants and complains about them stealing jobs. Iron Man is baffled at this logic, since even if they did do that, Hulk isn't exactly the kind of person who can get normal employment.
  • Accordin to "Professor X's Last Resort", Cyclops is a holocaust denier.
• Power Copying: "Taskmaster's Task" sees the usual Marvel supervillain demonstrate his usual ability to perfectly reproduce his opponent's fighting style, only to end up fighting the Fantastic Four. Not wanting to be outdone, he snaps his arm in half and starts whipping it around to copy Mr. Fantastic (completely grossing out everyone involved in the process). The video ends on him dousing himself in gasoline to fight the Human Torch, with predictable results.
• Pragmatic Hero: Batman used manipulative methods in order to make the Riddler and Mr. Freeze upset. In the case of the latter, he feigns horror to give Robin time to thaw. In his first appearance with the Riddler, Batman just looks up the answers on his cell phone. The second time, especially with the mafia goons just shooting Batman and causing the Riddler to lose his cool, Batman bluffed his injuries in order to make the Riddler give out an easier riddle.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Palpatine is furious - and a little appalled - that Vader killed the younglings and force choked his pregnant wife and killed his children because he wanted to use them for new Sith Acolytes.
• Psychoactive Powers: "The Lantern Spectrum", on top of the "real" Green Lantern mythos power sources such as willpower, love and rage, introduces the Light Blue Lanterns (wielding the light of mild discomfort), the Brown Lanterns (fueled by indecision), and the Lighter Blue Lanterns (powered by suicidal ideation, aka thinking about wanting to kill yourself). Subverted by the Magenta Lanterns, though. They're somehow powered by feces.
• Punch-Clock Villain: "Gotham's Day Off" shows what the bad guys like to do on their days off. Joker cleans up litter around Gotham Park, Bane works as Riddler's personal trainer, and Mr. Freeze gets ice cream.
• Rage Breaking Point:
  • Peter Parker hits it in spectacular fashion in "Spider-Man And His Annoying Friends" when he finds out that his friends converted his apartment into a hi-tech base without telling him. By the end of the episode, he's so irate he gets into a shouting match with the city-destroying Kaiju they were supposed to take down.
  • And another one for Peter Parker in "Sandman's Eternal Soul", upon discovering that the titular Sandman's weakness is water, angrily chewing him out before proceeding to mock him for having such a lame weakness and have Iceman join in on the bullying.
• Rage Quit: Dan ends up attempting this in a match with Masquerade in "Bakugan Was Impossible", due to being completely unable to roll Drago onto the Gate Card. However, he's unable to due to the game requiring either him or Masquerade to win. And the time he does successfully get Drago onto the Gate Card (accidentally no less), he finds out he has to flip said card over, outright telling Masquerade he can just have Drago at that point.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Peter Parker gives one to J. Jonah Jameson in "The Daily Bugle’s BREAKING NEWS" for trying to blame Spider-Man for everything bad that happens just for a story.
  Peter: Enough!
  Jameson: Excuse me?!
  Peter: No! Now you listen here Jameson! People rely on this paper for the news! For their information! You can't lie about it! You can't just make it up on the spot! It's people like you in positions like this that have taken away the faith the average Joe has in the news. You're no better than the man you believe Spider-Man to be! Damnit Jameson! How can you stand for this?
  Jameson: Easy, I can't.
  Peter: Oh, so there is reasoning with you.
  Jameson: No, Parker, I can't stand. Like physically, I can't stand.
• Relocating the Explosion: "Goku's Genocide Roulette" plays on the canon scene where Goku teleports the self-destructing Cell to King Kai's planet to save the world… except this time, King Kai gets angry and throws him out, leaving him scrambling to think of another place to drop Cell at. Hilarity Ensues.
• Remember the New Guy?:
  • Pokémon's extreme usage of this trope is parodied in the video "The Curse of the Pokémon Master", where Ash Ketchum laments over how he was lied to about there only being 150 Pokémon and he can't realistically catch 'em all due to the fact that there's over 1000 and counting.
    Ash: And again, this is not being presented as new information, this has been known! And you're telling me now that God is a fucking Pokémon?! Like, every religion is wrong? We- we celebrated Christmas! Who the fuck is Jesus?! Are you saying this whole time Jesus has just been completely non-canon?
  • Parodied in "Joker's New Sidekick", where Batman and Robin are confused upon seeing Zarbar among Joker's current gang and don't buy Joker's claim that he was always there. Upon learning that Zarbar fires cancer rays, Batman and Robin head off to get tested and Robin suggests they bring Bat-Mite, who to Batman's confusion Robin says was always there.
• Running Gag: Wonder Woman's The Voiceless role will always have something involving "X in lack of voice actress".
• Schmuck Bait: The description for "Superman vs. the Economy" goads the viewer to google "superman inflation", definitely knowing that the search results are something gross.
• Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Played for Laughs in "Yu-Gi-Oh Woes", as Kaiba discusses with Yugi the implications of the latter's future considering he's not going to school nor does he have any plans for a career outside of playing card games and winning tournament money, which wouldn't exactly work out in the long run. Yugi, after a sorrowful realization, claims he's going to get his life in order after this duel, and has Kaiba agree to draw with him for the King of Games' last duel for the time being… Only to immediately blast Kaiba down and win the game, much to Kaiba's disgust.
  Yugi: Today, I learned… I'd rather die a broke bitch than lose to you, Kaiba!
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
  • In "TMNT: Mikey Dies," after learning that the Foot Clan swapped out their easily-dodgeable lasers for actual live ammunition and that Mikey got shot down while trying to rush them, Splinter decides that it'd be better for the heroes to cut their losses and leave for New Jersey.
  • Ash decides to do this in "The Curse of the Pokémon Master" after learning about the absurd amount of Pokémon he has to collect to become a Pokémon Master. He attempts to do this again in "Ash Says Goodbye" even though he's trapped in an endless void.
• Seasonal Rot: invoked Discussed and invoked in "Justice League vs God". Mister Mxyzptlk appears before the Justice League, claiming to have been responsible for all their previous adventures, but now he's run out of ideas and unless they can come up with new ones, they'll all undergo Cessation of Existence. The Justice League unanimously agree that running their series into the ground is the preferable option.
  Superman: Let's Simpsons this shit.
• The Secret of Long Pork Pies: "Scooby Doo and the Mystery of the Dead Guy" has Shaggy and Scooby making and eating sandwiches using the stuff from the suspect's fridge. The detective who called in the gang mentions that their suspect was a cannibal; Shaggy can only react wide-eyed in silence at the implication.
• Self-Deprecation:
  • "The One with Deadpool in it" is basically two minutes of Solid jj using Deadpool to make fun of his own video formulas.
  • The description of "Batman and Robin's Falling Out" calls the main joke of the video, that Batman deliberately humiliates and puts Robin in danger, an old joke that is just formatted with Impact font.
  • In "Kingpin is Fat (Laugh)", Kingpin attempts to berate Spider-Man for fat-shaming him, but Spidey cuts him off, saying that there's been enough woke jokes on the channel already.
• Sequel Episode: Several videos after "Gangster SpongeBob" was released in March 2021, "Gangster SpongeBob 2: A New Day" was released in May and shows what happens five years after the Bolivian Army Ending of the previous video.
• Serial Escalation: "The Flintstones Destroy the World" starts with Barney discovering fire, describing how it will detrimentally affect humanity. In "The Flintstones Split the Atom", Barney has created a tool that can atomize rocks in seconds.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: Fozzie spends nearly the entirety of “Fozzie’s Last Joke” getting descended upon by the entire world for making a comment on Statler and Waldorf’s age. When he eventually apologizes and gets forgiven, he finally gets to start his act… but gets shot immediately for trying to joke about 9/11.
• Shooting Superman: Lois, of all people, does this in "Superman VS The Impostor" after concluding that Supes is the impostor. Superman, who was already incredulous that she couldn't tell them apart, is even more incredulous that she thought a normal gun loaded with normal bullets would actually affect him.
• Shot in the Ass: Uncle Ben was shot there rather than his chest like the original film. He complains about the blood coming out of it and the bullet in his gut.
• Shout-Out:
  • The beginning of "Doctor Strange Multiverse of Stooges" has Strange and Wong having just exited a universe that, according to Strange, had Tony Stark wearing blackface.
  • The title "Just a Burning Pokémon" is one to the song "It's just a burning memory" by The Caretaker, alluding to Professor Oak going senile as depicted in the short.
  • One of the aquatic life asking for Aquaman's help in "Classic Aquaman" is a clownfish whose son is kidnapped by humans. Aquaman immediately gets the Finding Nemo reference and tells the fish to go to Australia and get some help from a brain-damaged fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres like Marlin did.
  • In "Batman's Contingency Plan", everybody realize that Batman's plans to handle The Flash, in case he should fall under a villain's Mind Control or turn evil, are just his version of Wile E. Coyote's plans to catch the Road Runner, no matter how much he tries to deny it.
  • From "The One with Deadpool in it": after he is stopped by the subtitles when trying to say that Solid jj's jokes suck, Deadpool starts ranting to Solid jj and most of the rant are quoting Jimmy McGill's rant from Better Call Saul episode "JMM".
  • In "Sincerely Sinister Sinestro", one of the Guardians' argument for Sinestro not being evil is that he wears green like a hero such as Luigi.
• Signed Up for the Dental: In "The Avengers Interview Hulk", when Iron Man wonders why would Hulk even join the Avengers when he already lays out why he is better than the team combined, Thor speculates that Hulk's reason is to get the Avengers' dental insurance.
• Skewed Priorities:
  • After Jimmy Neutron's literal Brain Blast in "Jimmy's Last Brain Blast", Hugh is more concerned about Jimmy's blood getting all over his ducks than his son's head having just exploded.
  • In "Uncle Ben what happened", Peter is more concerned about thinking about his uncle bleeding out from his butt rather than the conversation about responsibility they had earlier, saying that it wouldn't be a good motivation.
    Uncle Ben: Oh sorry, Peter! I'm sorry my being shot with a gun is an inconvenience to you.
• Small Name, Big Ego: In "The Justice League Remembers Hawkman Exists", Hawkman attempts to claim he's a big-shot hero with a huge fanbase, with his main citation being a Facebook page (heavily implied to be set up by him) with "over fifty followers, or something."
• Smarter Than You Look:
  • "The Avengers Interview Hulk" has Hulk speaking in Hulk Speak like usual, but then Hulk reveals that he has PhD from being nuclear physicist in his spare time and even decides to sue for unfair hiring practice when rejected instead of getting angry.
  • "The Lantern Spectrum" has Grooble the Brown Lantern, a disgusting-looking alien who speaks in a nasally voice and is surrounded by flies. He turns out to be a Deadpan Snarker who foresaw that everyone would assume his ring is powered by poop.
    Hal: "Wait, so just to be clear, you're not powered by-"
    Grooble: "Powered by what? What did you think?"
    Hal: "Look I don't know. I just-"
    Grooble: "You though I was powered by shit, didn't you? (…) Ha ha, very funny. I hear it all time."
• Smug Snake: In "Superman Meets Lex Luthor", the Timmverse versions of the two titular characters argue about why Lex Luthor should be idolized by the citizens, almost bordering to Small Name, Big Ego territory. Luthor thinks he should be just as idolized as Superman is, only for Superman to point out how lame he is by comparison.
• Smug Super: The Timmverse version of Superman portrays himself like this in "Superman Meets Lex Luthor", boasting about how much better he is than Luthor and how his feats completely overshadow anything Luthor could have done, e.g. when Superman "flew to Venus the other day, punched some space terrorists, and came back before [his] coffee got cold". He still chooses to fly over to Pakistan to patch a kid's knee who fell from his bike rather than continuing arguing with Luthor. This serves as another point as to why Superman is more popular than Luthor.
• Something We Forgot: A common trope of Solid JJ's superhero videos is that the story starts with a problem, and the superhero gets distracted during their dialogue with the villain, and by the end of the video, the forgotten problem will be brought up and it escalates.
• Space "X": Apparently there is a Space Olive Garden in the Star Wars universe, and Palpatine tries to place a reservation there for him and Vader, only to fail because of Space COVID restrictions.
• Spoof Aesop: Both Walt and the description of "Cooking Bad" concludes that the moral of the video is that dealing drugs is better than cooking cupcakes, based solely on Gus spontaneously exploding in the timeline where Walt doesn't cook meth.
• Spot the Impostor: Parodied in "Superman VS The Impostor". Lois is holding Superman and Bizarro at gunpoint, unable to tell which one is which, despite their very obvious physical differences. Superman's incredulity that Lois can't tell them apart causes her to decide he's the impostor and shoot him (which is as effective as you'd expect). Parodied even further at the end when Bizarro picks up Lois' discarded gun and complains that he can't tell who the real Superman is, despite Superman and Lois looking nothing alike.
• Strange Minds Think Alike: In "Death Note But They Order Fast Food", Misa catches both Light and L completely off-guard during their silent mind battle by suggesting Taco Bell instead of Wendy's. Light is then seen making Black Dynamite levels of Bat Deduction trying to figure out what she could possibly have meant by that, eventually deducing that she intends to kill L right here and now by connecting Taco Bell to Marilyn Monroe to the Roman god of death to Baja Blast. Partway through his display of mental gymnastics, we cut to L's internal monologue and he's following the exact same line of reasoning to reach the same conclusion. Of course, all Misa actually meant is that she wanted Taco Bell (well, technically she wanted McDonald's but got the restaurants mixed up), and when we cut to her internal monologue, all we hear is dial-up modem noises.
• Stranger Behind the Mask: The guy unmasked by the Mystery Gang in "Fred's Last Mystery" turns out to be some random guy named Paul that the gang haven't met^note which is actually true to the source material, except the guy was a magician named Bluestone the Great, and has no motive for doing so outside of liking being a ghoul, frustrating them since that means their attempt to deduce who is behind the mask amount to nothing.
• Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Brought up in "When Superman Met Batman", with the latter investigating a crime scene when the former dropped in and upstaged him with superhuman powers. Batman was clearly annoyed by all this, so he calmly called Robin to purchase the Daily Planet, and made Superman work for him.
• Super-Speed Reading: Deconstructed in "Superman Gets a Divorce", and then again in greater depth in "Super Speed is the WORST Super Power". In both videos, Superman explains that, because his brain has to work at super-speed in order to process whatever it is he's reading, it feels to him like he's just reading normally in real-time. Supes speed-reading an entire book in one sitting would look fast to an outside observer, but would be mind-numbingly boring for him.
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
  • "Team Rocket has had enough" has James appear before Ash only by himself. When Ash asks where Jessie is, James explained that after their previous fight, they were sent blasting off as always, but Jessie unfortunately landed on her head and died after falling from such a great height.
  • "TMNT: Mikey Dies" has Mikey charge headlong at Shredder's headquarters with his nunchucks…only said headquarters has recently replaced its slow, easy-to-dodge lasers with actual live ammunition. He's promptly gunned down two seconds later.
  • In "Scooby Doo and the Mystery of the Dead Guy", the Scooby-Doo crew attempts to assist the police with an investigation, only to realize they're investigating a triple homicide instead of a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. The gang doesn't impress the police with their civilian-level equipment and procedures and are asked to leave. Also one for the police, as getting investigators from the Yellow Pages to do their work went just about as well for them as one might expect.
  • "Team Rocket Wins" has Jessie and James using Arbok and Weezing to attack Ash, which results in him dying.
    Meowth: Guys, you attacked him with a giant poisonous cobra and a living cancer cell, I-I'm pretty sure he's gone.
  • "Hawkman Actually Does Something" is this and a deconstruction of Heart Is an Awesome Power; yeah, Hawkman using a mace to kill Lex is an awesome moment for him, but he did it in front of the Justice League, who's members are all abiding by Thou Shalt Not Kill rules, thus causing them to be scared instead of impressed.
  • "Magneto Always Wins" has Magneto realise that his control over magnetism doesn’t just stop at cars and other standard metal objects, but also applies to anything with a magnetic pulse, including the iron within a person’s body.
  • "Superman Gets a Divorce" brings up a topic that's surprisingly rarely touched upon in cape stories: Super-Speed being often portrayed as letting you skip an action instead of merely being able to do it in a shorter time.
    Lois: Can't you read a marriage counseling book in half a second or something!?
    Superman: You know, I know that looks fast for you, but for me it's, like, in real time. For you it looks like half a second, but for me it's... y'know, I'm just reading a book. Like, just imagine reading the entire book in one sitting, in the middle of a conversation. It's not easy.
    • "Super Speed is the WORST Super Power" elaborates on this, with the Flash explaining that when the Justice League need him to run to some far-off place like Antarctica, to them he's able to do it in a matter of seconds, but to him it feels like months.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: Inverted with Evil Batman, as they act as suspiciously specific allegations for the normal Batman. While the other Evil Justice League members bring up one of their traits, opposite to their normal counterpart (Evil Green Lantern liking the color yellow, Evil Flash being the slowest man alive and Evil Wonder Woman having fully voiced dialogue with a voice actress), Evil Batman makes incredibly specific statements such as his and Robin's relationship being strictly professional and non-romantic, thinking segregation of races is a horrible idea and thinking the Earth is a sphere and not flat. Evil Robin also chimes in saying that Batman has never put him in a human sized bird cage in only his underwear when he's being punished.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: Daphne seldom ever spoke in the Scooby-Doo episodes, but when she did it is one line by a computer-generated voice, and a different one every time.
• Take That!:
  • The description of "The Injustice League" says Evil Flash is played by (not "voiced by") Ezra Miller, who was involved in multiple cases of disorderly conduct and child molestation cases.
  • In "Back at the Legion Of Doom", Lex Luthor is unimpressed about the other Legion of Doom members doing things like giving poor financial advice and spreading fake news, saying "What're we, fucking Facebook?" accompanied by a caption reading "Commentary". The end of the same video has Lex welcome Kanye West into the Legion of Doom for saying he likes Hitler.
  • A more subtle one, but the mental gymnastics Light and L go through in "Death Note but they order Fast Food" to explain to themselves why Misa would want Taco Bell certainly counts.
  • "True Crime: Justice League" is one for most true crime podcasts, mostly the fact they'll overanalyze any simple sayings or actions and randomly derailing the podcast for their life stories.
  • "Superhero Editorial Room" makes fun of various unpopular aspects from Marvel and DC Comics, such as Wally West's treatment throughout the 2010s (with particular umbrage going to Heroes in Crisis), the Superior Iron Man storyline, Ant Man slapping Janet and later fusing with Ultron, and Zeb Wells's Spider-Man run, with the editor simply asking if Peter came in to talk about Paul.
  • "The Muppets Get Controversial" is a dig at comedians who get into politics to give their "controversial" opinions on topics that everyone already agrees with, yet will not touch the more morally gray issues with a ten-foot pole.
  • "The Daily Bugle’s BREAKING NEWS" is one about how the media are willing to make up stories, resulting in people no longer trusting the news.
• Taking You with Me: In "Yogi's Crypto Scam", Yogi would rather destroy himself, Ranger Smith, and his crypto plot if it means not having to funnel the money back to the parks department.
• Talking the Monster to Death: In "Spider-Man's Greatest Foe", Spidey ends up defeating Chameleon before actually fighting. Spidey asks about the details of Chameleon's "power" and points out how mundane it is to the point Chameleon feels pathetic about himself and willingly turns himself in.
• Technology Marches On: Played straight in-universe at the Back to the Future video. The Doctor is frustrated at the fact that Mart isn't impressed at the time machine, despite the machine working at all.
• This Is Going to Be Huge: Oppenheimer gets mad at a scientist in "Saturday Morning Oppenheimer" when asked why his Character Catchphrase is "Zoopers", stating that it's his "Jinkies" and it will catch on.
• Toilet Humor: Defied by the Brown Lantern Corps, as they're powered by incertitude, not shit. The Magenta Lanterns are the ones powered by shit.
• This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman:
  • Parodied in "Classic Aquaman", where the Justice League sounded the alarm to enlist his help… unclogging the toilet. He was not at all pleased. The opening of the episode also showcases Aquaman's life under the water and, in contrast to his demeaning surface life, he is treated as a beloved hero and king of its people.
  • In "Everybody Loves Aquaman", the Justice League were about to embark on a mission in Flint, Michigan, where they felt that the pollution in the water would not be suited for Aquaman, when all the sudden Lex Luthor announced that the Legion of Doom is building a new underwater base and planning to kill all fish. Aquaman was excited hearing that it's a mission that he can do, but as it turns out Lex Luthor is only really doing the plan to humor Black Manta, which is the villainous version of this trope. Lex thought it was stupid and ultimately decided to back out.
• Title Drop: Aggressively lampshaded in "Classic Aquaman", where Batman saying the title at the end of the video is followed by the subtitles saying "He said the title" while triumphant music is played.
• Too Dumb to Fool: Cyclops is unaffected by Xavier implanting memories of the Holocaust in his mind to prove a point to Magneto. He knows it's not real - not because he knows it's a vision implanted by Xavier, but because he's a Holocaust denier.
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Marvin the Martian wants to conquer the Earth in "Bugs Bunny Saves the Planet". All it takes is five minutes of Bugs explaining that Humans Are Bastards for Marvin to backtrack.
• Troll: Red Hood/Jason Todd in "Breaking Bat". As opposed to Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin, who insist Bruce can handle Bane (when he obviously can't) due to being taught not to give up, he goes along with them and taunts Bane into snapping Bruce's spine because he thinks his pain is funny. The video ends on him telling Bane that Bruce called him a pussy and Bane repeatedly smashing Batman's back with his knee in response.
• [Trope Name]: Deadpool enters "The One with Deadpool in it" by saying "catchphrase for the thumbnail!" And that is what's written in the thumbnail of the video.
• Uncertain Doom: The sequel to "Gangster SpongeBob" reveals that Patrick is arrested after the shootout, but SpongeBob is absent from the rest of the video and what happened to him is not mentioned.
• Victory Is Boring: "Fred's Last Mystery" ends up becoming this, as all of Velma's research being useless because the ghost is just "some rando" causes the gang to feel cheated. Even when the Officer tries to stress that who it is isn't all that important, Fred gets mad at him and ultimately gets fed up with the whole scenario as figuring out it's "Paul" doesn't make him feel accomplished.
• Villains Out Shopping: "Gotham's Day Off" has the Joker cleaning the park, Bane being the Riddler's personal trainer and Mr. Freeze buying some ice cream. Batman was annoyed that the rogue's gallery were all taking their breaks at the same time, assuming that crime doesn't take a day off.
• The Voiceless: The female characters in some of the skits are these, mostly due to Solid JJ not having a voice actress to voice them. Usually subtitled with "[X] in lack of voice actress".
  • Subverted in "The Injustice League" as when the enemies are listing off their opposites from the heroes, Evil Wonder Woman's thing is being fully voice acted by a woman, much to the original Wonder Woman's silent shock.
  • Subverted in "Team Rocket Wins" in which Jessie talks.
  • Subverted, once again, in "Justice League vs. God" where Wonder Woman finally gets to speak… and then immediately reveals that she's a anti-vaxxer.
• Wall of Text: Played for Laughs in "Jesse, have you solved the Five Nights at Freddy’s lore", where Five Nights at Freddy's lore is depicted as so convoluted that the subtitle for Jesse's explanation of the lore becomes this yet it still needs at least five such wall of text.
• Weaksauce Weakness:
  • Discussed in "Batman DESTROYS the Justice League with FACTS and LOGIC" that besides being the main financial backer, he should be the leader because the other superheroes have exploitable weaknesses^note Superman has kryptonite which has become a lot more common, the Flash is weak to slippery ice and Green Lantern is weak to the color yellow. The other heroes defend this by pointing out there are situations where they're needed (which Batman doesn't deny), and point out Wonder Woman doesn't have any clear weakness…only for Batman to get himself kicked out by pointing out "she's a woman".
  • In "Sandman's Eternal Soul", the titular Sandman's weakness is water. Spider-Man and Iceman had a field day with that one.
• We Can Rule Together: "You Choose Spider-Man" starts with the exact same "join me, Spider-Man" speech from the first Spider Man film, except Spider-Man agrees to join him here. Spidey draws the line at actually ruling the city, though, because city-management is too hard for just the two of them. And after discussing further ideas, Spider-Man is disappointed to realize that Green Goblin has no actual motive behind his speech.
• Wham Line:
  • While Gary initially seems like a careless hothead in "Charmander's Big Weakness", his sudden response to Ash's concerns about Squirtle accidentally extinguishing Charmander's flame and killing it make it clear he knows exactly what he's doing — and he loves it.
    Gary: Aren't you even just a little bit curious?
  • In "Justice League VS God", while trying to convince Mr. Mxyzptlk that they have ideas to keep their adventure going, Batman has one final idea: Make Wonder Woman talk. And then the we learn exactly why she doesn't speak:
    Wonder Woman: Look, I'm not saying all vaccines cause autism—
    (Cue everyone else panicking and demanding she stop talking)
• What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: "The Justice League Remembers Hawkman Exists" has the League realize that Hawkman's only apparent "powers" are a wing pack (when nearly every member of the League can fly) and owning a mace (which isn't strong enough to hurt anything dangerous, and his use of it implies he inflicts potentially lethal injuries on non-powered criminals). To defend himself, Hawkman cites his ability to reincarnate, which at first they think is useful as a form of immortality… but then he explains that he has to actually be reborn first and grow up normally over the course of decades. When Batman starts questioning Hawkman's purpose, Hawkman attempts to counter by saying that Batman doesn't have powers at all, but the Flash and Superman retort that Batman has lots of money to bankroll the League (Hawkman is fairly well-off himself, but he's not interested in using his money for that purpose). Ultimately, the only defense Hawkman can bring up for staying in the League is that it would anger his (non-existent) fanbase.
• What the Hell, Hero?:
  • In "Mr. Freeze Chills Out" Mr. Freeze is horrified and enraged that Batman tricked him into thinking he killed a child (Robin).
  • Dr. Jenson, the villain in "Scooby-Doo Uncensored" goes on an angry tirade at Mystery Inc. for not only ruining all his hard work, but seriously injuring him just for trying to scare money out of rich folk.
  • In "Kaiba gets Shadow Realm’d", Kaiba is horrified when Yugi states how untraceable his death would be if he attacked him with a monster and knocked him off the ledge.
  • After losing to Ryuga in "Beyblade Was Intense", Gingka responds with his "final form" and throws Pegasus at Ryuga, much to his dismay due to how much that actually hurts in real life. And shortly after when the announcer tries to judge who won, Gingka then throws Pegasus at him, equally as bothered by Gingka doing such a thing.
  • After Yugi reveals he cheated against Kaiba in "Exodia Obliterates the Game", Joey calls him out on it.
  • Magneto is infuriated by Xavier using his memories of the Holocaust against him, and only becomes angrier when Xavier reveals that he didn't even do it against him specifically on purpose: he came across Magneto's memories by accident some years earlier and didn't know they were his, and was keeping them in mind as a weapon of last resort.
    • Both Magneto and Xavier quickly realize that the reason Cyclops is unaffected... is because he's a Holocaust denier, which they call him out for being despite having just had the memories and experience of an actual Holocaust victim implanted in his brain.
• "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: "Fred's Last Mystery" ends with texts explaining what happens to each member of Mystery Gang after Fred breaks up the group:
  • Fred ran for Senate but lost to Paul.
  • Scooby and Shaggy "did something with weed or whatever."
  • Velma came out as gay.
  • Daphne tried to make a name for herself to escape her Damsel in Distress image, only to overdose on whippets in '07.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: Discussed in "Vegeta's Big Wish"; Vegeta actually gets his wish for immortality, only for Gohan to point out he didn't think of the implications-not only would he not get Zenkai boosts since an immortal can't be put in near-death situations, but he might be put in a situation where he'd want to die like not being able to regenerate. Everyone including Freeza (who wanted to be immortal but thought about it and decided he wanted to be taller instead) thought about this, so Vegeta has his wish undone…only to be blasted by Freeza.
• Who's on First?: "Doctor Strange Multiverse of Stooges" first has Doctor Strange telling the Stooges that "[his] name is Strange", leading to Curly wondering what's so strange about it. Strange quickly clears things up in the next line, only to fell into Sustained Misunderstanding when telling them Wong's name.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?:
  • In "You Choose Spider-Man", after Green Goblin explains that he already bombed his targets into skeletons, Spider-Man wonders why Goblin didn't use that against him, especially since Goblin uses knockout gas against him. Green Goblin's excuse is that he wanted to talk to Spidey, and points out Spidey should be the last one to talk about why didn't he killed Spidey.
  • In "Batman Gets Riddled", the Riddler was giving Batman one of his riddles when one of the former's Italian mafia mooks decided to just shoot the latter. The Riddler of course was very upset and concerned for Batman's wellbeing that he offered to just give the code. The insistent Batman just kept asking for a riddle, causing him to ask a simple "What's black and white and read all over" riddle. Turns out Batman was bluffing his injuries, but then he got shot a third time which really injured him.
• You Meddling Kids: Played for Drama in "Scooby-Doo Uncensored". The villain notes how hard he worked to make sure his plan went off without a hitch, and how utterly ridiculous it is that a bunch of teenagers could show up on the spot and ruin months of planning.
• Younger Than They Look: Peter Parker, at least when he's portrayed by Tobey Maguire. Uncle Ben says that he keeps forgetting Peter is a teenager in high school when he looks like he's in his thirties.
• Your Head Asplode: In "Jimmy's Last Brain Blast", Jimmy tries to do his signature Brain Blast, only for his brain to literally blast and splatter all over, traumatizing Sheen and Carl. The same happens later to Hugh, and then is implied to happen to Carl (or both Carl and Sheen) as well at the end.
