Jetters Abridged: Difference between revisions

The series does not have a consistent update schedule, though ThornBrain has promoted the series on [[Something Awful]] while doing [[Let's Play|Let's Plays]] of ''[[Bomberman (Video Game)|Bomberman Hero]]'' and the [[Bomberman Jetters (Video Game)|Bomberman Jetters]] [[Recursive Adaptation|game]] on [[The Strawhat NO]] (both of which have influenced their portrayal of the characters). Episode 3 was released on November 30th. Thorn and Travis are focusing on finishing [[Sgt Frog Abridged]] Season 2 before doing more Jetters, but Thorn greatly wants to do more as soon as they can; however, as Travis puts it, "If I'm not working, I'm working".

 

 

* [[Abridged Series]]: And not only do most of its viewers like it, people who don't like [[Abridged Series]] like ''Jetters Abridged'', and that group includes people on the [[Something Awful]] forums!

* [[The Ace]]: Mighty. [[Jerkass|And he]] ''[[Jerkass|knows]]'' [[Jerkass|it]].

{{quote| "He always had to wear that stupid visor. I bet he didn't even see that side of the cliff."}}

* [[Black Comedy]]: Death is used frequently as a comedic tool.

{{quote| '''Mighty''': "...About twenty-thousand light years away, a woman is about to be hit on by a very ugly shark. But that shark hates tobacco smoke, aaaand... ''[[Beat]]''... I lit her a cigarette!"<br />

'''Shiro''': "Ooh!"<br />

** Technically broken anyway, since Mighty's an [[Jerkass|asshole]].

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Bongo. Everyone hates him for no reason whatsoever.

{{quote| '''Birdy''': ''*Over radio*'' "Hey Mighty."<br />

'''Mighty''': "What's up, Birdy?"<br />

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Intentionally averted. Thorn specifically wanted Shiro to not be a stupid protagonist like is found in every other [[Abridged Series]] (including [[Sgt Frog Abridged|his own]]), though Shiro could still exhibit naivete due to being a child. Every other character, however... Let's just say there's a reason BigTUnit1 calls the Jetters a "ragtag team of suck".

* [[Jerkass]]: Mighty, and [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]] with each episode despite him only being in the first episode.

** [[Jerkass Dissonance]]: Played with. It's pretty clear that Mighty's a jerkass hero that everybody inexplicably loves, but nobody denies this either. Shiro even straight-up admits to Mighty being a jerk in the first episode.

* [[Large Ham]]: The villains [[Boisterous Bruiser|Mujoe]] and [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Mechadoc]]. BigTUnit1's inspiration for the latter was [[Mark Hamill]]'s version of [[The Joker]].

'''Shout''': ''[[[Beat]]]'' "Are you sure...?"<br />

'''Shiro''': "[[Just for Pun|I'm positive!]] ''[Beat]'' Lllladies." }}

* [[Squee]]: Mechadoc makes one when revealing his robot ostrich.

* [[They Called Me Mad]]: Dr. Mechadoc, for his "[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|giant metal ostrich]]". The usual use of this trope is subverted, due to Mechadoc going through with making the ostrich ''because'' people thought he was crazy.

{{quote| "People called me crazy... [[Subverted Trope|so I]] [[For the Evulz|did it!]]"}}

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: "Oh peanut butter and suck!" as well as "Oh, jelly and balls!"

** [[Lampshade Hanging|Shiro lampshades this]] in the first Episode"
