Demyx Time & The Sora Show
"Demyx: And *bleep* you! And *bleep* you! And *bleep* you, pretty boy!
 * Acting for Two: Jenn "jenxthejinx" and Kelly both play multiple characters.
 * Affectionate Parody:
 * Twilight and High School Musical were parodied in Episode 12.
 * And Episode Thirteen is one of Clue.
 * And of course the enitre series is one of Kingdom Hearts.
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: First, there would be 13 episodes. Massive rejoicement when episode 14 was announced. Then episode 15 was confirmed, and the fandom went insane.
 * Anything That Moves: Axel is implied to be this, but we never see it in the show.
 * Also in episode 14, Larxene apparantly has slept with of the 13 members. Just... Wow.
 * Berserk Button: Do NOT mention Twilight in Saix' presence.
 * Bishounen: Even in the original Kingdom Hearts games it's hard to tell which members of the organization are male, but more often than not the female cosplayers look more like the game visuals than the guys.
 * Spoofed when Demyx thinks that Larxene is a man because everybody else is.
 * Bishonen: A lot of male characters played by the girls, though Marluxia is the most straightforward example. And he sure loves it:

Marluxia: Oh, thank you!"

"Axel: Demyx, why the hell is Xigbar's name written across my chest in permanent marker?!"
 * Black Comedy Rape: Heavily implied in episode 9.

"Axel: Xigbar?
 * Brain Bleach: Implied when Axel discovers that Larxene slept with Xigbar (along with most of the rest of the Organization).

Larxene: *nods* Uh-huh.

Axel: Tell you what, I'll be back in about a half an hour, there's some stuff I really, quite desperately need to bleach, so if you would please--*leaves the room followed by screams of pain*"

"Riku: "Grandma, seriously- Did you just empty my dead mom's ashes out into the corridor and spray it with bodyspray?"
 * Bumbling Dad: Riku's Dad.
 * Butt Monkey: Poor, poor Demyx.
 * Camp Gay: Marluxia practically embodies the trope.
 * , when a love potion makes him fall in love with.
 * Catch Phrase: Stop! Demyx Time!
 * "Dude!" - Xigbar
 * "Kingdom Hearts!" - Xemnas
 * Change the Uncomfortable Subject:

Grandma: "Well... It may have appeared that way, but uhh... But uhh... Hey Riku, did I ever tell you about your granddaddy, Robert Riku Junior?""

"Sora: "You put lots of things in your mouth and don't eat it. I could give you examples.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Demyx in Demyx Time, Sora in the Sora Show.
 * Though pretty much every character has at least one of these moments.
 * David Bowie: Demyx's idol and "somebody". And apparantly, the god he worships. Or the rain won't come.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: Saix.Granted, the guy's crazy even when not jealous.
 * The Dragon: Saix
 * The Ditz: Demyx, Sora.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: Axel likes to mock Marluxia for it. Inverted when Demyx thinks Larxene is a man.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: Xemnas. Quite the violent Love Triangle going there.
 * Fan Service: Demy Short: Faith had Demyx and Axel dancing around together on a comfy looking bed with unbuttoned shirts.
 * Even more so, they're actually two girls passing as guys doing that.
 * Episode 2 of The Sora Show "My First Coffee" has an incredible amount of Ho Yay for the Sora x Riku fans.
 * Four Temperament Ensemble: The four characters with the most screentime:
 * Sanguine: Demyx
 * Choleric: Axel
 * Melancholic: Vexen
 * Phlegmatic: Xigbar
 * Flanderization: In favor of comedy.
 * Freaky Friday Flip: Episode nine.
 * Fridge Brilliance: Marluxia spends most of episode 14 hiding in the closet.
 * Heroic BSOD: Larxene when Axel breaks her hair.
 * Hostile Show Takeover: Axel does this in Episode Eight Axel.
 * Hot Mom: Sora's mom, and Riku is well aware of it.
 * Ho Yay: It's everywhere.
 * Insane Troll Logic: "I think...Roxas should be renamed Biff... so then Demyx can visit Biff's room, because Biff is allowed visitors...and Roxas is not."
 * Innocent Innuendo: The bouncy bed game really is just bouncing on the bed.
 * And this gem within the very first minute of the very first episode of the Sora Show:

Riku: "Please do."

Sora: "... the hands of a dentist.""

""Riku, I think it's time to make our speedy exit.""
 * Let's Get Out of Here:

"Axel: Remember those tampons of Larxene's?
 * Life Imitates Art: Jenny started Demyx Time to catch the eye of Kelly, who she fancied. Then their characters (Demyx and Axel, respectively) on the show got increasingly more amounts of Ho Yay after they got together.
 * No Periods Period: Inverted. An early arc involves Demyx trying to figure out what a tampon is. It doesn't end well.
 * And later he discusses Larxene's "airplane sticker" collection.

Demyx: ...Uh-huh...

Axel: That's for the same sort of thing.

Demyx: Augh! Why did you put it on my face?!"

"Riku's Dad: It's all these hohmohseckshuaaaal things goin' thru his head. He can't even think straight!"
 * Original Character: The Fridge Goblin.
 * Punctuated Pounding: In episode twelve: TWI! LIGHT! ISN'T! LITERATURE!
 * Punch Clock Villain: According to this interpretation, all the Organization XIII members are rather goofy in their free time.
 * Racist Grandma: Riku's grandma. Just don't mention Communism. Or the hippies.
 * Real Man Cook: Xaldin the Chef.
 * Rule of Funny
 * Serious Business: Food for Demyx.
 * Science for Vexen. More like 'Only Business' instead of serious.
 * Shout Out: Many reference/parodies thrown into episodes, such as lines from Night at The Museum 2, South Park, and Family Guy.
 * Soul Jar: Or, in the case of Sora and Riku, a Soul-Box-With-Faces-Painted-On-It, formerly known as Dennis.
 * Step Three Profit: In the Axel episode, Marluxia describes this strategy as his "foolproof" way to take over the organization.
 * Straight Gay: Even though Roxas and Axel being lovers in Episode Twelve isn't much of a surprise, Roxas still acts the least Camp of the Organization.
 * Subverted in episode 14.
 * Techno Babble: Vexen uses this.
 * The Other Darrin: Any characters other than Demyx and Axel can switch actors without the fandom caring all that much, even though it is obvious.
 * It's justified because Jenny and Kelly can only play so many parts in one scene, so episodes featuring more of the Organization require the help of other cosplayers.
 * Though with Jenn's video editting abilities (see Christmas Special and episode 14 preview) it's not always necessary.
 * The One Guy: As of episode 14, the only male cast members are Roxas, Luxord, and Lexaeus.
 * The Smurfette Principle: Larxene and Xion are the only girls. inverted in regard to the cast.
 * Trilogy Creep: Kind of. There were originally going to be only thirteen episodes, one for each Organization member. Then Xion was revealed, and it expanded to fourteen. Now there will be fifteen as a reward to the fans for giving them money to get to Metrocon.
 * Viewer Gender Confusion: The characters are fairly easy to follow. The actors... not so much. Between giving multiple characters different actors, and the voices the actors use, even long-time viewers can get confused.
 * In-universe inversion: Demyx thinks Larxene is a guy because everyone else in the Organization is.
 * What the Hell Dad: Riku's father.
 * White Haired Pretty Boy: Riku.
 * Why Don't You Just Shoot Him: Averted at the beginning of this video.
 * A Worldwide Punomenon:

Shinra Files
""You let you fucking fire-extinguisher on top of the stairs!""
 * As the Good Book Says: "In the book of Jenova..."
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Reno. Dear God, Reno.
 * Playing the Victim Card: Rufus sure knows how to put his disability to his advantage.
 * Genius Cripple: Rufus.
 * Group Hug: Rufus demands one at the beginning, stating that they will be family and how fantastic this beginning is for them all.
 * Precision F Strike:


 * Staircase Tumble: The REAL reason as to how Rufus got crippled: He tripped over Reno's fire-extinguisher and fell down the stairs.
