The [['''Desu Des Brigade]]''', abbreviated to the D2Brigade, or incorrectly as the DUD Brigade, was a team of reviewers with the following members:
 
* '''Professor Otaku''', who produces the review series "Anime Dissection" and "OVA 101."
* '''Arkada''', who produces the anime review called "Glass Reflection." He wears a lab coat during his reviews, which makes him vaguely reminiscent of [[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog (Web Video)|Dr. Horrible]].
* '''[[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]]''', who produces a review segment simply entitled "The [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]] Anime Review". She is much more analytical than the other reviewers, using a four-star rating system. She tries to be objective and may give high scores to shows that she doesn't personally like. She also produced her "summer project", an audio drama adaptation of [[Fruits Basket]], every Wednesday throughout summer 2011.
* '''Vixen''', who produces the "Kit-Suki" review series. Her review style is very informal, and quite [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|opposite to her fellow reviewer]] [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]]. In addition to reviewing anime, she sometimes reviews Western films (most of them [[Disney]]) in her "Film Fox" review series.
* '''Malakye''', who administers the DesuDes message board and produces the anime news segment called Pocky Spot. He has a cute, [[Vocaloid]], evil assistant called Tsubake. Now has two of his own review series, "Mal's Monthly Manga" and "Sake Shots".
* '''Tsubake''', Mal's Vocaloid assistant who wants to [[Kill All Humans]], Vixen in particular. She kills people on a regular basis and hates everyone.
 
* In March 2011 they added three new members to the brigade, unfortunately [http://cjhitchcockanimemoviereview.blogspot.com/2011/10/end.html real life forced]{{Dead link}} [http://www.desudesbrigade.com/2011/12/desu-rattle-the-garbage-story/ all of them to leave.]
 
** '''Kagami''', who produces K-Station, a series of AMVs. Not much else is known except she has an in universe fascination with knives and (also in-universe) most likely killed her own boyfriend to get on the site.
** '''Rabbit''', Vixen's closest friend who produces the show "To Read or Not To Read" where she reviews Manga. She has two other series called "Between the Lines" and "By the Quill". She also provided some of the website's artwork.
** '''Hitch''', who produces "AMR (Anime Movie Review)" where he reviews, well, anime movies. His second series is called "Season Impressions" where he showcases new animes of each season and gives them a score based on his first and last impressions. Currently writes the Fanservice Corner segments of Pocky Spot.
 
While each of the reviewers has his or her own individual video review series, they also collaborate on other productions together. This began with the "Desu Rattle" podcast, when Professor Otaku brought Arkada, JesuOtaku and Vixen together to create a weekly podcast about anime. They became known as the DesuDes Brigade when they created their personal website. Malakye helped in the creation of the site, so he became the fifth Brigade member. Their reviews are aimed at discerning anime viewers who want to find out anime worth watching.
 
The original site was hacked in late May 2011. Their new website is located at [https://web.archive.org/web/20130908163210/http://www.desudesbrigade.com/ DesuDesBrigade.com].
 
As of April 20th20,{{when}} the [http://www.desudesbrigade.com/2012/04/the-desudes-brigade-disbands/ D2 Brigade is ending,] although all on good terms.
 
{{creatortropes}}
=== The [[Desu Des Brigade]] provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Arkada's review of ''[[AIR (Visual Novel)|AIR]]'' starts off with a less subtle one for the same actor. "[[D.N.Angel|How would you like to go on a date with Phantom Dark?]]"
* [[Adorkable]]: Mal. Sure he's a little pervy, but he's quiet and shy, especially when compared to his more rambunctious peers (he makes JO look like [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Angry Joe]]).
* [[Alter Ego Acting]]: Pretty much all the brigadiers do the third kind of this, especially on Pocky Spot.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Vixen, who's half-Filipino.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Vixen themes herself after the fox. Aside from her name (A vixen is a female fox), her two series on the site are called Kit-suki (short for [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Kitsune#Kitsunetsuki |Kitsunetsuki]], Japanese for being possessed by a fox) and the appropriately titled Film Fox. Her avatar also has fox ears and a tail.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Prof's avatar has changed twice.
** And now the Pocky Spot (and other videos involving their avatars, as seen on the side of the site) avatars have undergone this now that Rabbit's drawing them.
* [[Artificial Human]]: Tsubake, somewhat.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Tristan Gallant, Arkada's real name. He's named Badass Bravery!
* [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]]s for the various Brigade members:
** For Professor Otaku: ''[[MD Geist]]'', bad girly shows and just about anything made by Kaishaku.
** For Vixen: Constant [[Random Encounter|Random Encounters]]s in [[Video Games]]. On the Fanservice <s>Coroner</s>Corner segment of Pocky Spot, excessive T&A is also a [[Berserk Button]] for her, but that's not generally the case in her actual reviews.
*** Not to mention ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]''.
*** Pocky Spot 48 brings us an anime where [[Astarotte no Omocha|a 10 year old succubus has to have males ejaculate into her mouth in order to survive]]. She's horrified and disgusted to say the least.
** For Arkada: ''[[School Days (Visual Novel)|School Days]]''
*** And flimsy spindle DVD cases, as indicated in almost any of his given reviews.
*** He still hasn't forgiven [[Kyoto Animation]] for [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|"Endless Eight"]].
** For Hitch: When he was reviewing the live-action ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' movie, he was hoping that there would be lots of [[Your Head Asplode|exploding heads]] like in the anime. When we finally got to our first exploding head, [[Gory Discretion Shot|it was off screen]]. He... didn't take it well.
*** When he found out that the [[Badass]] [[Action Hero]] of ''Vampire Wars'' was named Cookie, well... he [[Stealth Pun|snapped.]]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Rabbit (don't let her cuteness fool you).
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Vixen did her review of ''[[Le Portrait Dede Petite Cossette]]'' entirely in French.
** Prof did his review of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' in French, Japanese, Fake German and Fake Italian, with a little English thrown in.
*** The German sounded suspiciously like an audio clip of Hitler, and the Italian sounded like someone reading off the Olive Garden menu. However, Prof did that as an experiment to see who was actually listening when subtitles are underneath.
* [[Brain Bleach]]:
** Something Vixen desperately wanted after reviewing the [[OVA|OVAs]]s ''[[Papa to Kiss Inin Thethe Dark]]'' and ''[[Boku Nono Pico]]''.
*** Vixen invoked this trope by name in her "Fanservice Corner" of Pocky Spot 15.
** Professor Otaku would have liked it after reviewing ''[[Kekko Kamen]]''.
* [[Brick Joke]]: In Prof's ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' review, he said "What next? Do I watch ''[[Prétear]]''? How about ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''? Why not just grow a nice pair of BOOBS while I'm at it?" Half a year later, he's reviewed the first, about to review the second and the third? [[Gender Bender|Well...]]
* [[Breakup Breakout]]: Deconstructed. Rather than [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]] leaving the brigade after joining up with [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]], she still tried to be a loyal brigadier, and her newfound popularity did in fact bring in more viewers to the Brigade's site; however, her indecisiveness coupled with her [[Attention Defecit Creator Disorder|ADCD]] caused her to grow increasingly distant from the Brigade, unofficially breaking off from it about a year from its official disbandment.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Rin, one of their fans and Vixen's close friend. They make lots of fat jokes about her, lots and lots of fat jokes.
* [[Caustic Critic]]: Professor Otaku, mainly, though Vixen gets like this sometimes, too.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Arkada, who really is Canadian.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** At the end credits of their respective reviews, Arkada says "Stay Frosty". Similarly, Professor Otaku used to say "Until next week, this is Professor Otaku signing off", which he seems to be bringing back. Vixen makes a little squeaky sound that sounds like 'omo' but she claims her catchphrase is 'I'm going to kill you, Prof'.
** During the Desu Rattle podcast, Arkada shouts "For Fanservice!" in a manner similar to how Dr. Insano from [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|The Spoony Experiment]] shouts "For science!", which has trickled into Professor Otaku's vids on more than one occasion.
* [[Caramelldansen Vid]]: Complete with Vixen's [[Gainax Bounce]], JO [[Bare Your Midriff|Baring Her Midriff]], and Arkada [[Hollywood Tone Deaf|singing]]. (Link?)
* [[Cat Fight]]: Between JO and Vix.
* [[The Chick]]: Vixen. Arguably a [[Dark Chick]].
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Hitch; sure he likes hentai but he genuinely respects women. [http://www.formspring.me/cjhitchcock/q/218135111491681116 No, really]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Several examples:
** Vixen killing Malakye [[Running Gag|multiple times over]] on [[Pocky Spot]].
Line 69:
** Prof has a mean right hook. Just ask Vixen, as shown in the 'Quick Hits ACen' video, in which he systematically sucker-punched the rest of the Brigade. In his defense, Ark was singing the theme to ''[[Sgt Frog]]'' at the time, but kicking JO through the door was unmerited.
* [[Content Warnings]]: Always comes with the reviews of more violent titles.
* [[Could Say It, But...]]: Professor Otaku delves into great detail as to what colourful metaphor he ''would'' say about the English dub of ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' but states that he's above that.
* [[Credits Gag]]:
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Vixen
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: JesuOtaku's subtitled reaction to [[AIR (Visual Novel)|Potato]], pretty much. Less than a year later, [[Hilarious in Hindsight|her sister got a rather similar looking puppy.]]
** Ark's reaction to [[Bunny Drop|Rin]], despite claiming he didn't like kids.
* [[A Day in The Life]]: Tsubake's Adventures
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: All of them are like this. Even the [[Large Ham]] Arkada.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Ark's suggestion for punishing Hitch for not liking ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' (which he even said wasn't horrible, he just didn't like it) is a letter bomb.... or a NUKE.
** His actual punishment (suggested by ''[[Beware the Nice Ones|Rabbit]]'') is to have his testicles electrocuted every time he has a naughty thought while reviewing ''[[La Blue Girl]]'' with Vixen.
*** Vix pulls the same thing on Prof for his 100th review.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male Onon Male)]]: ''[[Okane ga Nai]]'' had Vixen laughing hysterically, for reasons best left un-analyzed.
* [[Drinking Game]]: Vixen did one in-universe for her reviews of ''[[Romeo X Juliet]]'' and ''[[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|The Princess Bride]]''.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Prof admitted in Quick Hits 2 that Shuichi dropped one on him.
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: The new avatars for the Brigaders appeared on the sides of the site months before their proper debut in Pocky Spot 50.
* [[Electric Torture]]: [http://www.desudesbrigade.com/2011/08/kit-suki-and-amr-la-blue-girl/ Poor Hitch...]
* [[Enemy Without]]: His normal person self, Tristan Gallant, distinct from his reviewer self, Arkada. The two argue over whether or not it's okay to show the sexier scenes of ''[[Desert Punk (Mangamanga)|Desert Punk]]'', due to the normal self having a girlfriend. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Hitch gives one of these off after giving Vixen [[Sailor Moon And The 7 Ballz]].
* [[The Faceless]]: Until recently, Mal was the only member who had never showed his face, instead opting to use an animated avatar wearing a mask similar to that of Zero from ''[[Code Geass]]''.
* [[Fantastic Slurs]]: Tsubake calls humans (and presumably other organic creatures) "fleshbags."
* [[Fan Vid]]: Kagami's AMV videos.
* [[Five -Man Band]]: As explicitly established by Prof:
** [[The Hero]]: Professor Otaku
** [[The Lancer]]: Arkada
** [[The Big Guy]]: Malakye
** [[The Smart Guy]]: [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]]
** [[The Chick]]: Vixen
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Tsubake, Kagami, Hitch, and Rabbit
* [[Follow the Bouncing Ball]]: Hitch's [http://www.desudesbrigade.com/2011/07/amr-classic-top-ten-sing-alongs/ sing along video].
* [[Fun Withwith Subtitles]]: In the promotion for the first annual Taishi awards, the brigadiers made several videos where the subtitles had anime characters hawk the Taishis, often while talking like gangstas.
** In the ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' review, Professor Otaku had quite a bit of fun with this. Or rather, the rest of the Brigade had fun at his expense.
** While introducing the review for ''[[Now and Then, Here Andand There]]'', JesuOtaku gets into a fight with the Red Snark Titles.
* [[Gainaxing]]: They call it wibble though.
* [[Gender Flip]]: Prof got this at the end of his ''[[Prétear]]'' review, lasting until near the end of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: Done twice in Arkada's ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' review. The first time was after declaring that in no way was he ever going to review the aforementioned series. The second time was declaring that he was definitely not following it up with a ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' review, which is then subverted when he's instead shown watching ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano!]]!'' after the Gilligan Cut.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Vixen and Stevenlajr at the end of the ''The [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]] Saga: New Moon'' review.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Prof's and Hitch's friendship implies this.
** [[Romantic Two -Girl Friendship|Vixen and Rabbit]] take it even further.
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]: Vixen points out a familiar Disney voice assigned to ''[[Spirited Away]]'''s dub by briefly overlaying images of the character onto the footage.
* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: After making a <s>herpes</s> Harpies commercial voiceover, Prof quips in his review of ''[[Wonder Woman (Filmanimation)|Wonder Woman]]'' that he's going straight to the underworld for that one.
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: Malakye hosts Fanservice Corner in Pocky Spot episode 53, showing the opening to ''[[Maken Ki-ki!]]''.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]/[[Hurricane of Puns]]: Vixen's ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' review featured a vampire Pun Count. When ''New Moon'' came back with its own awful puns, she suspected it was karma.
** Professor Otaku on Dolores from ''[[Zone of the Enders]]: Dolores, i'':
{{quote| '''Prof''': You know, other reviewers might harp on the location of the cockpit, but not me. I think that argument falls limp, because it has stiff competition, standing tall in a crowd of flaccid robot designs. The orbital frames really thrust themselves into the hard and thick market and show they have a rod of steel in their spines. And I think I just burned out my subtlety chip.}}
** Arkada's review for ''[[Phantom of Inferno|Phantom ~[[Requiem for the Phantom~]]]]'' just had to go into the [[Bee Train]] wreck pun.
* [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You]]: Professor Otaku in his [[Let's Play]] of ''Knights of the Round'':
{{quote| (while being attacked by barrels) ''That's right folks, if you can't kill a castle, a castle will kill you.''}}
* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At Thethe Time]]: Vixen's guest co-reviewer of the ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' saga, Stephen Lajr, on shooting himself in the balls when he learns they're splitting ''Breaking Dawn'' into two movies.
* [["I Want" Song]]: Vixen's and Tsubake's parody of ''[[Portal (Video Gameseries)|Want You Gone]]''.
** [[Let's Duet]]
* [[Kill All Humans]]: Tsubake's goal.
* [[Large Ham]]: Arkada when he <s>introduces</s> hosts his Mailbag Showdown, and whenever he does voice work either, it's part of the [[Mad Scientist|persona]].
** Ark in general, even when making V-Logs!
* [[Let's Play]]: The members have attempted a few of these, Prof with ''Knights of the Round'' for the Arcade and ''Spider-Man Web of Shadows'' for the 360, Vixen with PC titles ''Left 4 Dead 2'', ''Phantasmagoria'' and ''The Sims 3'' as well as ''[[Final Fantasy I (Video Game)|Final Fantasy I]]'' for Game Boy Advance and Arkada with ''Legend of Dragoon'' for the PlayStation.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Arkada plays this up from time to time.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Arkada, at least in his animated form.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Vixen, of course. Usually, this is played for laughs, as in some of her [[Double Entendre|lines]] in the Fanservice Corner segment of Pocky Spot, or in the [http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu283/VideoGameVixen/DDB/QABanner.jpg banner] for her <s>T&A</s> Q&A segments.
** See the entry for [[Of Corsets Sexy]] below.
** She has also [[Cosplay|cosplayedcosplay]]ed as Jasmine when she did her Film Fox review of [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]], which of course involved [[Bare Your Midriff|baring her midriff]].
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Arkada's quick recap of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' to help put context into ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]''.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Both Ark and Prof have one.
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Vixen is rather fond of corsets, including her "trademark" white corset, which she first wore in her review of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' for the hell of it, and is shown wearing in the intro sequence to her reviews.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Coincidentally, Prof.'s real name is CJ Irelan and Hitch's is CJ Hitchcock.
** It helps that the members all refer to each other by their stage names.
* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: Prof's aforementioned [[Gender Bender]] ended in this the male and female forms becoming seperate people towards the end of the review. [[A Wizard Did It|How exactly that happened is never explained.]]
* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]: Blink and you'll miss it, but during the Red Scorpion "Luck Be a Lady" radio drama, featuring a red-tinted Green Hornet, the titular character uses this as a password before smashing down a door.
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: Vixen's "List of Disney Boys I Would Bang": [[Mulan (Disney)|Li Shang]] and [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]].
{{quote| '''Vixen:''' "Damn. ''Damn.'' Hey... Hey, wait, come back here, I'll make a man out of ''you''!"}}
* [[Pokémon -Speak]]: Both JO and Arkada snark if Nyu's a Pokemon in their reviews of ''[[Elfen Lied]]''.

* [[Retool]]: Pocky Spot as of episode 50. All segments barring Mailbag Showdown and Fanservice Corner have been replaced by a whole new host of segments, including one for each of the new brigadiers and Tsubake getting one to herself.
* [[Rule Sixty Three63]]: Vixen [[Invoked Trope|mentions this]] after encountering a male version of herself in her review of [[Vandread]]. Also invoked with Profette.
* [[Romantic Two -Girl Friendship]] Rabbit and Vixen
* [[Running Gag]]: Oh, so many...
** The legendary badassery of Arkada, who supposedly can make peanut butter by punching narwhals to death.
Line 159:
** Later they invoked this in their review of ''Issho Ni''.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Arkada and Professor Otaku, though surprisingly it's Arkada that lapses into this most frequently.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In Vixen's Film Fox review of ''[[Enchanted]]'', the text across the bottom of the screen when the homeless guy steals Giselle's tiara is [[Bum Reviews (Web Video)|"THIS IS THE GREATEST TIARA I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!"]]

** They do this again at the begining of Prof's review of ''[[Prétear]]'', much to Prof's annoyance.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Professor Otaku in his [[Let's Play]] of ''Knights of the Round'':
{{quote| '''Prof''': Now, I'm not quite sure about the biology of a tiger, but I'm pretty sure they don't ''explode'' into flames when you kill them.}}
* [[Take a Third Option]]: Even though Prof had several fans send video suggestions for his 100th episode, Profette comes up with the easy choice of {{spoiler|''[[Buso Renkin]]''}}.
* [[Take That]]: Arkada took a shot at [[Todd Haberkorn]] voicing too many recent leads in his review of ''[[Gankutsuou]]''.
* [[That Reminds Me of a Song]]: Vix reported on her <s>T&A</s> Q&A...
{{quote| If you don't like people randomly bursting into song, then you probably wouldn't like Ark very much.}}
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Vixen's reaction in Pocky Spot 48 where she learns the plot of the loli animé, ''[[Astarotte no Omocha]]''.
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Tsubake. Originally Malakye, though [[The Starscream|it's been brought up a a lot less since she came along.]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: JesuOtaku has this dynamic with Vixen, full stop.
* [[Top Ten List]]: Top X Lists, mostly.

{{quote| ''Sky Walker? [[Star Wars|Luke]] called, he wants his name back.''}}
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Inverted. Vixen was way too squicked out by what she reviewed in ''[[Papa to Kiss Inin Thethe Dark]]'', mostly due to that story being [[Brain Bleach|wholly]] [[Parental Incest|terrible]].
** Tsubake apparently has a rather large colleciton of Yaoi porn.
* [[You Can Leave Your Hat On]]: Was Ark stripping through their riff of Venus Wars, cause it certainly looked like it.
