Altar Boyz: Difference between revisions

* [[Boy Band]]: The central concept of the show is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of Christian rock and boy bands.

* [[Breakup Breakout]]: Doesn't actually happen, but record labels promise exactly this to each member of the band to get them to sign a solo deal. {{spoiler|Abraham is the only one not to accept the deal.}}

* [[Funny Background Event]]: When Abraham takes over the vocals on "La Vida Eternal", it's kind of funny, but watching the other three desperately chase Juan around the stage is ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]]''.

* [[Flamboyant Gay]]: Mark. His bandmates do not appear to notice.

* [["God Is Love" Songs]]: [[Altar Boyz]] is made of this trope.

* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: An audience member confesses to having coveted his neighbor's ass (i.e., the sin of lust). Juan mistakes his meaning and gives an impassioned speech about the lure of donkeys.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]

* [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum]]: The Soul Sensor DX-12.

* [[Musical World Hypotheses]]: Falls decidedly into the diegetic category.

* [[Product Placement]]: The Soul Sensor DX-12 is a [[Sony]] product, and Matthew never fails to remind the audience of that fact.

* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: A variation; the rhyme is preserved but the spirit is the same. In a song about waiting until marriage to have sex:

My own fate }}

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: In "Genesis of the Altar Boyz", the beginning of the band is told in a sketch divided into segments, each written by one member of the band and highly influenced by the author — in Mark's section, Matthew gushes over his hair; in Luke's, everyone is very nonverbal; in Juan's, everyone is incredibly insensitive about his lack of parents, and in Abraham's, everyone is incredibly insensitive about his Judaism.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Repeated reference is made to Luke having just come out of rehab for "exhaustion".

* [[When It All Began]]: The "Genesis of the Altar Boyz" sketch.

* [[You Got Spunk|You Got Crunk]]: During the spoken interlude in "Girl, You Make Me Wanna Wait"
