** Played straight in the ''[[
* [[Christmas Episode]]: The ''Immortal Guardian'' review.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Cluster F
* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]: Only mildly, but he is prone to bizarre theories. Such as Graveyard being time travelers from the 70's to prevent a [[Bad Future]], and Neonfly being martians.

* [[Halloween Episode]]: His reviews of ''[[
* [[
* [[High
* [[Hipster]]: He maintains that snobby Metal fans have far more in common with hipsters than they realize.
* [[Horny Vikings]]: Not only got Happy Viking his name from them, he has Danish roots so he has them as ancestors. In the ''Svartsot'' review he even is in a real viking tomb. Of course, many reviewed groups have them as motif too.
* [[Hot
* [[Jesus Was Way Cool]]: Happy Viking, even though he wears a [[Norse Mythology|Mjölnir]] pendant, thinks so and even uses the same image as the trope page to illustrate.
* [[Just for Pun]]: He is ''dead serious'' about broadcasting from a real viking grave in the ''Svartsot'' review.

** He jokes in the [[Undergrads]] review that it is so full of [[Geek]] references you can become virgin again by watching it.
** A joke of this manner is made in the [[
* [[No True Scotsman]]: He criticizes the tendency in Heavy Metal to squabble over the question what "true" metal may be and especially loathes those who only accept the most brutal metal possible. He also despises those who maintain that certain sexual orientations are incompatible with being a metalhead, as can be seen in the ''Power Quest'' review where he voices his annoyance with people who call [[Power Metal]] "gay metal".
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: He goes on for a long while in his [[
* [[Pretentious Latin Motto]]: He uses ''Sic Parvis Magna'' (“Greatness from Small Beginnings”), the personal motto of Sir Francis Drake, in his ''Týr'' review to describe how such a great metal band can come from the unassuming Faroe Islands.
* [[Porn Names]]: Happy Viking is convinced [[
* [[Red Scare]]: Parodied in the ''Metal Shots! Rasputin'' video, where the target of paranoia are not Communists, but "crusty old white people".
* [[Rock Me, Asmodeus]]: The theme in the ''Ghost'' review.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Name-checked by Happy Viking in the ''Natural High'' review and the only reason why the tactical blunders in the reviewed music video can be excused.
* [[Rule of Funny]]: According to Happy Viking, the only exception to the rule of not dissing your metal brethren is when it's done funny.
* [[Running Gag]]: During the [[Alestorm]] review: The sound of an erection hitting against the desk.
* [[Self
* [[Shout
** To [[Doctor Steel]] in the ''Raubtier'' review.

* [[Slasher Movie]]: Parodied in the ''Ahab'' review.

** One of [[Undergrads]], which is reviewed purely for nostalgic reasons.
** For Halloween he reviews ''[[
* [[Stalker
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Happy Viking has this reaction to the members of ''Týr'', who like to play [[Walking Shirtless Scene|shirtless]].
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: One of DragonForce's videos makes Happy Viking immediately laugh because of this trope.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: No, Happy Viking certainly did not shed [[Manly Tears]] upon hearing that a founding member of ''Heidevolk'' leaves the band.
* [[Take That]]:
** He delivers one against [[Conspiracy Theorist|Birthers]] in the ''Heidevolk'' review.
** Happy Viking delivers many ones against ''[[Twilight (
** Against [[Emo]] kids in the ''Ahab'' review, because [[Doom Metal|Funeral Doom]] is depressive music for grown-ups.
** Against snobby Metal fans and hipsters in the DragonForce riff.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]
* [[Toilet Humour]]: He does a fart joke in the ''[[
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: One of his main problems with the characters in ''[[
* [[Warrior Heaven]]: Happy Viking describes the Norse heaven as a never ending bar brawl and uses that to illustrate how fun-loving Vikings were which was ruined by christianization.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: He promised his viewers "boobies" after the credits in the ''Týr'' review. They get of course a picture of the seabird.
