----

* [[Action Girl]]: About a quarter of the fighters fall into this category. Also, this is probably the one case in history where Rebecca Black qualifies.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Team Four Star]] voiced Shadow and Vegeta in their battle, when Shadow sends Vegeta to the moon, the [[Dragonball Z Abridged|Space Duck]] is behind him.

* [[Angrish]]: Starscream lets out an enraged "GYYYYAGH!!" during his fight with Rainbow Dash.

* [[Animation Bump]]: Wiz and Boomstick commisioned Mr. Lange aka ShortFactor to animate the battles for episode 20, and for thirty more episodes. (Zelda vs Peach was a test run)

** In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibpAARbYPh0 Q&A #2], {{spoiler|they claim they ''will'' do the fight...eventually...}}

** The remark of the Starscream and Rainbow Dash has them list Dash as being "20% cooler" than Starscream.

* [[Author Appeal]]: Wiz and Boomstick are huge fans of [[Final Fight|Haggar]]. {{spoiler|Too bad he lost against [[Street Fighter|Zangief]].}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Boomstick has a BIG hatred for teen popstars, '''''especially''''' Justin Beiber.

** Wiz really doesn't think highly of Michelangelo, so no points for guessing who ends up dying first in the Turtles' battle royale. They pretty much acknowledged that one before the fight.

'''Wiz''': He'd better not! }}

{{spoiler|Thor}} after killing {{spoiler|Raiden}}: Farewell }}

* [[Book Ends]]: Mario VS Sonic and Starscream VS Rainbow Dash both start in one place, travel through other areas (a mountain and lake for Mario VS Sonic, the sky for Starscream VS Rainbow Dash) and then end back at the same place they started.

* [[Colony Drop]]: {{spoiler|Vegeta does his best [[Donkey Kong Country Returns|Donkey Kong]] impression during his fight with Shadow by punching the moon towards Earth, forcing Shadow to use up his remaining energy to restore it with Chaos Control.}}

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Wiz might sound the saner of the two but that's just superficial...

'''Wiz:''' Boomstick! That's a terrible idea! Any time you'd want to reload you'd have to wait nine months! }}

* [[Crack Fic]]: On occasion, the matches depicted in "Death Battle" can wind up like this in a BIG way, such as Rainbow Dash vs Starscream.

'''Wiz:''' Yes. Yes we are. }}

* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Likely the main reason why the third, tenth, sixteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first Death Battles turned out the way they did. <ref>Wonder Woman and Chun Li are formally trained fighters, making them poor matchups for their respective opponents, as Wondie would eventually hit Rogue's uncovered face, causing a power absorption, and Mai's ninja training made her too unpredictable. While Kratos wasn't held back by his training, his weaponry was forged by Olympians, which the video noted wasn't a different plane of existence like heaven, and wouldn't necessarily be able to kill Spawn. Zelda is extremely powerful and experienced, but it is specifically noted that her power and experience are almost entirely in areas unrelated to combat, leading to her defeat by the less magically potent but more athletic Peach. Boomstick noted that Raiden's main method of attack, electricity, is useless against Thor</ref>.

** {{spoiler|Also shows up with the Starscream vs Rainbow Dash fight. Starscream's Null Ray is specifically designed to work on machines, Rainbow Dash is organic, and thus it had little effect on her.}}

** {{spoiler|To be fair it was more balanced than you might think. Dash only takes two hits over the course of the battle, one from Starscream's massive hand (but she has been known to smash into cliffs with no injury, so she can easily survive that) and one from his Null Ray which has no effect on living beings. But when you think about it, had she been hit by any other part of his arsenal (his gun, or his missiles) it would have been the end of her on the spot.}}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Both Wiz and Boomstick have a fair ammount of snark in them.

** Vegeta had a couple good ones; for example, his response after shadow goes super?

'''Boomstick:''' And I'm likin' the shapes and sizes on these two! }}

** And...

'''Boomstick:''' ...I'm sorry, what? I was distracted. }}

* [[Double Entendre]]: Episode 20. It starts with Vibe Scepter and goes on from there. Boomstick is...amused.

* [[Flat What]]: Boomstick will give one to the more incredulous factoids.

* [[Flight, Strength, Heart]]: From Episode 21, Thor's powers are listed as being able to lift over one million tons, move at supersonic speeds, never feel exhaustion, survive the vacuum of space, and talk with frogs.

** {{spoiler|In ''Halo'' you cannot throw grenades through your own bubble shield, a fact which is glossed over to Master Chief's advantage in his battle with Doomguy.}}

* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: How {{spoiler|Raiden}} is defeated by {{spoiler|Thor}}

** {{spoiler|Zitz and Felicia}} were also fatally cut in half by {{spoiler|Leonardo and Taokaka}} respectively.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Boomstick possesses a surprising amount of knowledge about raptors. It stems from his childhood when he wanted one as a pet named Barney after learning what irony was.

** {{spoiler|Starscream}} also managed to blow himself up.

** A two-way example. In Eggman vs Wily, {{spoiler|Wily uses Roboenza on Metal Sonic}}. However, this leads to {{spoiler|not ONLY Eggman's defeat, but Wily's as well}}.

* [[Hurl It Into the Sun]]: {{spoiler|How Thor disposes of Raiden.}}

** Wily to Eggman. {{spoiler|Wily's robot is destroyed and begs his surrender to Eggman. Eggman in his giant Death Egg Robot stomps on Wily and crushes him to death. But Eggman realizes that the person he crushed was a robotic dummy. The real Wily reappears in a new robot and surprises Eggman.}}

** {{spoiler|Miley Cyrus also gets impaled by a falling sword in the Justin Beiber vs Rebecca Black battle, the falling sword in question was from said fight, and was sent flying after Rebecca's friend's car explodes, eventually landing in Mileys cranium, killing her.}}

* [[Joke Character]]: Eggman's army has [[Those Two Bad Guys|Scratch]] and [[Harmless Villain|Grounder]], Wily's army has [[Flat What|Sheep Man]]. {{spoiler|[[Lethal Joke Character|Sheep Man beats them both by being an actual threat with his electricity powers]]. However, all three are killed by Silver Sonic.}}

* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Rainbow Dash. Arrogant by nature or no, Starscream can hardly be blamed for thinking a small winged pony wouldn't put up much of a fight.

* [[Kneel Before Zod]]:

* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Boomstick.

* [[Mid-Battle Tea Break]]: Felicia and Taokaka play with a butterfly for a bit before Taokaka kills it by accident.

* [[MST3K Mantra]]: Invoked. In the TMNT Battle Royale, Wiz was forced to consider ({{spoiler|and discount}}) Rafael's victory in the 2007 ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' movie, and eventually concluded "[[Rule of Fun|That whole movie doesn't make much sense to begin with.]] [[Lampshade Hanging|Why should this?]]"

* [[No Kill Like Overkill]]: The finale of Thor VS Raiden, as Lampshaded by Boomstick.

* [[No-Nonsense Nemesis]]: Eggman V.S. Wily. {{spoiler|Neo Metal Sonic destroys Wily's first machine, popping Wily out of it's remains. [[I Surrender, Suckers|Wily begs for his life]] and Dr. Eggman denies his request by stomping on him with the Death Egg Robot's foot... [[Actually a Doombot|only to realize it's a dummy]]. The real Wily was right behind him in a new machine.}}

* [[Not So Above It All]]: While Wiz is the straight guy to Boomstick, he's not totally sane himself. For example, he's mentioned doing something with genetically enhanced hamsters, dissected an unwilling Goomba and only discounts Boomstick's baby cannon idea on the grounds of acquiring ammunition.

* [[Oh Crap]]: In the [[Halo|Master Chief]]/[[Doom|Doomguy]] fight, when {{spoiler|Doomguy realizes too late that he has a Plasma Grenade stuck on him.}}

** And in Mario vs. Sonic, {{spoiler|both combatants are spooked when they realize that they are inside a mountain with a large amount of Bob-ombs that are about to explode. However, both Mario and Sonic survive the experience thanks to [[Power Ups]].}}

*** {{spoiler|Mario had this reaction again when his Mega Mario power up ran out.}}

** There was also Vegeta vs. Shadow, {{spoiler|when Shadow came back to normal.}}

** This was pretty much {{spoiler|everyone}}'s reaction when {{spoiler|Metal Sonic went rogue and became Metal Overlord}} in Eggman VS Wily.

** {{spoiler|Michelangelo also gets his head sliced off by Leonardo shortly after he sliced off his right arm.}}

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|Metal Sonic absorbing the Egg Fleet and turning into Metal Overlord...then proceeding to obliterate Eggman, Dr. Wily, all the remaining fighters on both sides, the city they're fighting in, and possibly the world.}}

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Before every fight, Wiz & Boomstick look through the history, abilities, arsenal, & weaknesses as presented in the canon of each fighters in great detail to determine who would win. Regardless of what one thinks of the results, they can't be accused of not doing their homework.

* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler|Wily uses his Roboenza on Metal Sonic, which sends Metal Sonic on a rampage, killing Eggman, which would normally be a win for Wily. But since Metal Sonic was Eggman's robot and kills Wily directly afterwards, Wiz and Boomstick can't decide who wins. So they just declare Metal Sonic victor.}}

** About 24 hours after Thor vs Raiden was released, Shortfactor (the animator) improved the visuals of the final phase of the battle, and was subsequently updated with the video.

* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]

* [[Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object]]: The Haggar Vs. Zangief fight was described in the commercial break as "the unstoppable force meets the immovable mayor". {{spoiler|The unstoppable Zangief overrode the immovable Haggar.}}

* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Boomstick jokes that this is where Mai Shiranui stores her weapons. To his surprise, this is actually true.

* [[Your Head Asplode]]: {{spoiler|Peach [[No Kill Like Overkill|ruptures Zelda's skull]] with her [[Mario Strikers|Mega Strike: Empress Peach]].}}
