Premiering in July 2011, '''Bro Team Pill''' is a [[YouTube]] series described by its creator(s) thusly:
{{quote|"Check out ''Bro Team Pill'', it's video game reviews for white people... Only!" }}
Line 13:
{{tropelist}}
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: Used frequently, with a signature pronunciation of "woman" as "WAH-min."
* [[Angrish]]: Featured in many reviews, but most prominently in ''Blacklight: Retribution''.
* [[Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption]]: When [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkGgeBXcTq4 announcing his plan to start a new channel], Bro Team's rant about Digitom Productions is greeted by Nelson of that very group, who excitedly asks if he's working on a new video and expresses high hopes for it.
* [[Boomerang Bigot]]: About his homeland of Canada.
* [[Breakthrough Hit]]: The first Bro Team Pill videos were featured on Digitom Productions before it became a series of its own. At least one member of the Bro Team is credited in Digitom's videos, and the two channels still link to each other on their respective pages.
*[[British Accents]]: The ''[[The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt|Witcher 3: Wild Hunt]]'' review features a very exaggerated cockney accent.
* [[Couch Gag]]: Many episodes have a unique audio clip after the appearance of the title and Pill, ranging from simple exclamations like "INTERNET!" to [http://youtu.be/CSxlm6VBpzI whatever the hell this sound is].
* [[Contractual Gag]]: Combined with his own running gags and mocked in the Guns of Icarus review.
{{quote|"I sure hope JEFFREY shows up! Or that I end up in a SEWER!"}}
** Reached its apex in the ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' review:
{{quote|I need strength, if I could become as Jeffrey- No! I'm inside the inside JOKES! [''Pained''] The sewers... Canada's a shithole... [''Walks into a bonfire''] You need to purge it from your - [[Twin Peaks|Firewalk with meee]]... [<nowiki/>[[beat]]] Okay cool, [[It Makes Sense in Context|back to skinning people alive and selling their shit]]."}}
* [[Crapsack World]]: Parodied in
{{quote|"Seattle. America. After the war [''Scare chord'']- Just kidding it's not of those."}}
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Parodied in the ''[[Killing Floor]]'' review, where Bro Team expresses disillusionment with making [[YouTube]] videos and paints himself as being 37 years old, an expectant father, and an aspiring musician. [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|At least two of those things are probably made up. Maybe.]]
* [[Cuckoolander Commentator]]: As applied to video games. Especially noticeable in the ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine]]'' video where the game's many doors and elevators take precedence over the ultra-violent battles with hordes of demons and aliens.
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Accidentally causes one in the Guns of Icarus review and isn't very happy about it.
* [[Fusion Dance]]: The explanation for Bro Team seemingly consisting of one person.
{{quote|"Bros COMBINED to form the team, you fucking guy!"}}
* [[Free-Love Future]]: Combined with [[Crapsack World]] in Bro Team's take on ''Syndicate''.
{{quote|"In the future, the human erogenous brain decides when and where shit's gonna go down. Humans are mere victims to their boner motives."}}
* [[Freudian Slip]]: Played for laughs in the ''Modern Warfare 3'' review.
{{quote|"This shit's more interactive than your most terrifying wet dream, but in this you don't wake up before you get to suck your teacher's dick!"}}
* [[Guttural Growler]]: The voice used for the entirety of The First Templar.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The ''Singularity'' review. Doubles as a horribly dangerous Bro Team [[Drinking Game]] if you take a shot for every "time" pun!
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: Bro Team contemplates the many round objects of ''Singularity'', including a pair belonging to a female character that seem to rob him of all free will.
{{quote|"There's even balls on the front of this guy's shirt, and for some reason they make me want to do whatever this guy says."}}
* [[If You Know What I Mean]]: In ''Guns of Icarus''.
{{quote|"We're gonna need a specialist: Me. Specialized in one-handed cranking, and also beatin' off my stupid dick."}}
* [[Laugh Track]]: Also in ''Guns of Icarus''.
* [[Logo Joke]]: When Bro Team mocked the Pill in the introduction to the ''Singularity'' review, it refused to perform in the next video.
* [[Malaproper]]: Frequent, sometimes even combined with [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]].
* [[Musical Episode]]: The ''[[Skyrim]]'' review is delivered in the form of a rap.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Gradually ramps up throughout the series, becoming a staple around the Painkiller review. Lampshaded in the following exchange from the Guns of Icarus:
{{quote|<nowiki/>*Knock at the door*
Line 49:
"You got mail, man." "Oh, fuckin' THANKS DUDE!"
"NO PROBLEM!" "FUCK YOU!" "FUCK YOU!" "FUCK YOU, MAN!" }}
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: Possibly, as alluded to in the April Fools video of ''Cricket Revolution''.
{{quote|"Well it sounds like the word 'protein,' but that's not actually what's being said."}}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: One of the mainstays of the series, like the ''Killing Floor'' review's insistence that the game is about Irish police officers.
{{quote|[After being asked if he thinks the Holocaust happened] "No. It's the Jews that never existed."}}
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: The other mainstay of the series, exemplified by the ''Painkiller'' review.
* [[Signature Scene]]: Sewer levels - The perfect place to cut yourself, do drugs, and throw sweet raves!
* [[So Much for Stealth]]: Intentionally abandoned for ''Alpha Protocol'' and ''Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth''.
{{quote|"If anyone sees you the mission's '''FUCKED!'''
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: A few times, most noticeably when he's killed by a surprise melee attack in the ''[[Crime Craft]]'' review.
** He's been known to do so in some streams as well, especially while drunk:
{{quote|"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! [[Batman|BA-MAN]]!!"}}
* [[Squee]]: During the ''Terraria'' review.
{{quote|"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"}}
* [[The Comically Serious]]: All of the ''Cricket Revolution'' review is delivered in a calm, dispassionate tone.
* [[The Triple]]: In the review of ''Lord of the Rings Online'':
{{quote|"You will listen... You will observe... You will EAT TATERS!"}}
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: The excuse the protagonist gives in ''The First Templar'' review for ignoring a burning building and his partner's injuries.
* [[Unreliable Voiceover]]: Comes with the territory of rewriting games' plots for fun and profit.
