Line 8:
On the other side of things, there are the antagonists, led by [[Card-Carrying Villain|the undead Warlock Dirim]]. His followers include his blood elf "girlfriend" and [[Valley Girl]] [[Dumb Blonde|Stephie Ilumvari]], the orc Warrior Orgrath Axeblade, the tauren Shaman Hawkwynd Bighooves, and [[Beware the Quiet Ones|the troll Rogue Jin'zul]].
 
Guy and Ellers are both massive [[Otaku]], and often exasperate their colleagues with their incessant discussions of [[Anime]] and [[Proud to Be Aa Geek|other forms of Nerd/Geek culture.]] Flayme is in a [[Love Triangle]] with Kit and Hana, often resulting in catty words exchanged between the two women. Despite their generally keeping quiet (relatively speaking), Hana and Deuce have both exposed their geekiness as well. Perhaps they've been spending too much time with Guy and Ellers?
 
Unfortunately, the show hit a snag in season three, when [[Real Life]] interfered, and the crew was scattered (much like their characters in that season). Though it has been several years since their last update, they have said they have every intention of finishing the series when they are able.
Line 26:
* [[Crystal Prison]]: Guy gets trapped in a Soul Shard for a while
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Kit and Guy both fit this trope.
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: Deuce suggests he polymorph the gang into Horde races so they can sneak through Warsong Gulch.
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Voliostromort is quite an unusual name for a human, so it's small wonder why Guy prefers to go by his last name. Though it sounds [[Awesome McCoolname|kinda cool for a warlock.]]
* [[Expy]]: The Alliance gang meets two old colleagues of Hana's, who sound an awful lot like [[The Venture Bros|Henchmen 21 and 24]]
Line 39:
** [[Big Bad]]: Dirim
** [[The Dragon]] / [[Evil Genius]]: Jin'zul (He's the information gatherer in addition to being Dirim's most trusted minion)
** [[The Dark Chick]]: Stephie ([[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|though the "dark" is arguable]])
** [[Evil Genius]] / [[The Dragon]]: Orgrath (He's generally leading things when Dirim isn't around)
** [[The Brute]]: Hawkwynd
Line 50:
** [[The Chick]]: Flayme
** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Rora
* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]]: In episode 15: '' "Congratulations! You've found the hidden transition card. Thanks for having no life and looking for this kind of thing in videos. Way to go!" ''
* [[The Genie Knows Jack Nicholson]]: Considering it doesn't even take place ''on Earth'', there sure are a lot of pop culture references...
* [[Good Is Dumb]]: Rora's uncle Goliath is not the brightest bulb...
Line 58:
* [[Male Gaze]]: When the gang is wandering through the [[Thirsty Desert|Shimmering Flats]] on their way to Gadgetzan, they, understandably, travel with very little clothing. [[Chivalrous Pervert|Goliath]] can't help but stare at Kit and and Flayme. His wife was not amused.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Flayme is Hana's... [[Incredibly Lame Pun|old flame!]]
* [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil]]: Stephie, of course. One wonders why Dirim even keeps her around.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: While not actually seen, the [[Added Alliterative Appeal|group gives Guy grief]] for his apparent interest in the genre.

Line 64:
'''Kit:''' Does that sort of thing actually turn you on?<br />
'''Guy:''' Shut up... }}
** "[[Meanwhile in Thethe Future|A short while later...]]"
{{quote| '''Flayme:''' ''La Blue Girl?''<br />
'''Guy:''' Shut up.<br />
Line 70:
'''Guy:''' Shut up.<br />
'''Ellers:''' What about the one with the really long name, that's hard to pronounce?<br />
'''Guy:''' ''[[Urotsukidouji (Anime)|Urotsukidouji]].'' I mean, shut up. }}
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: When Ellers get's mad at James, he starts [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|beating the sword against a tree]]. The Darnassus Police were not thrilled by what appeared to be someone chopping down their trees, and [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend|James' silence afterward]] didn't help.
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: Many, if not most of the episode titles are these.
* [[Queer People Are Funny]]: The series parodies this trope with the crew of ''The Butt Pirate'' (there was a miscommunication with the painters). Except for one off-screen [[Butch Lesbian]] (and possibly the captain), most of the crew is [[Camp Gay]].
{{quote| '''[[Punny Name|Captain Buck F. Pirate]]''': ''You'' try getting a better crew with a ship named ''The Butt Pirate!''}}
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male Onon Male)]]/[[Black Comedy Rape]]/[[Prison Rape]]: By a ''[[A Load of Bull|tauren]]'' no less...
* [[Rickroll]]: Goliath tries to introduce episode 24 with this. Vlada was not amused.
* [[Running Gag]]: "So wait, [Ellers] joined a celibate order... [[Casanova Wannabe|to get chicks?]]"
* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Hana's specialty is "natural magic and healing" and so isn't very good at shapeshifting. He can get into cat form okay, but needs the help of an Archdruid to get out of it. {{spoiler|At least until the Archdruid gives him a ring that lets him shift at will.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Too many to list. For example, when Deuce falls into an orc camp, they chase him to ''Yakety Sax'' a la [[Benny Hill]]. The same episode has Kit and Flayme duke it out to the [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]] "fight theme." They make direct references to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in at least two episodes, and to [[Red vs. Blue (Machinima)|Red vs. Blue]] in the season two finale.
** "[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney Atat Law|Ha HA! Random Stephen Colbert tribute!]]"
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Kit gets one in Warsong Gulch. Guy and Ellers of course have to [[Lampshade]] it:
