{{work}}

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Actor Allusion]] - The Comment Special uses this for a joke. A comment is made referring to how Dio sounds like [[Tim Curry]] and then Dio proceeds to ask other characters their opinions on this. The characters being [[The Wild Thornberrys|Nigel Thornberry]], [[The Mighty Ducks (animation)|Lord Dragaunus]], [[Brutal Legend|Emperor Doviculus]] and [[Rocky Horror Picture Show|Dr. Frank N. Furter]]. {{spoiler|...Oh and [[IT|Pennywise the Clown]] shows up late to the party.}} And a pan full of [[Visual Pun|curry]] who doesn't hear it.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]] - Dio. Sure, he hits on Power Girl in the Stand Idol segment, but it sounds a lot like posturing.]

* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: Or rather, Animal Wrongs HERO, in the case of PETA-Man.

** Flashback (as well as [[Flash Forward]]) scenes are mainly shown as manga screenshots, since the anime only covers a small portion of the series as a whole.

** Plus, the second half of the series comes from footage of the '90s OVA series, while the first half was made from the more recent series which was made to fill in the missing portions of the story. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] at the end when Jotaro's mother Holly wakes up from her coma, and she looks completely different.

* [[Author Appeal]]: Antfish likes sprinkling some pro-wrestling here and there.

* [[Badass]] - Even when played for comedy, Jotaro still comes across this way.

** Don't keep calling Doppio with the wrong number.

** Don't compare Kakyoin to Keanu Reeves when his shades are on.

** And certainly don't refer to Booster Gold as Green Lantern.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:Polnareff jumping at Dio from behind before he can decapitate Jotaro, and earlier {{spoiler|"Avdol returning and saving Polnareff from justice"}}

* [[Call Back]]: The first time the gang meet Polnareff, Joseph gets a rapier through his artificial hand and screams "Ooh, my sexy hand!!". Around the final 3-part episode, Jotaro nails Dio's Stand with a deft punch damaging its fists and as a consequence, cutting up Dio's hand. And he says the very same thing.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]

** Subverted, Jotaro interrupts Dio as he calls out his Stand.

Star Platinum: '''Shut the [[Precision F-Strike|f** k up!]]''' }}

** Played straight with the Jotaro Punch.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - Jotaro. Let's just put it this way: his pen pal is Duck Dodgers, and he writes to him like it's a Letter to Penthouse. Let's leave it at that.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]] - Joseph drops quite a few when he flashes back to his final fight with Cars.

'''Joseph''': Johnny. }}

** Also, there's a another incredibly stealthy one from the "World Inside the Mirror" spinoff, "WHEELY HIGH." [[Brick Joke]] because {{spoiler|they soon meet Polnareff, confined to a wheelchair, who had also seen the Mirror World before.}}

** And even later in Episode 10:

** "It's funny because there are bitches in the way that need to move."

** Also, from episode 7: "It [My foot] will be up your ass. Just saying."

* [[Eagle Land]]: Hol Horse.

** Jotaro accuses Hierophant Green of being this.

** Made even funnier by the fact that [[Linkin Park]]'s ''Crawling'' is playing in the background as he says it.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Lampshaded when Kakyoin is referred to as "the only reason women watch this show."

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Dio's status as this gets parodied when N'Doul is gushing at length about how wonderful Dio is, and by the time he gets to "His trapezius muscle tore through his shirt," Jotaro interjects with "[[Too Much Information|Okay, I'm getting a little uncomfortable...]]" and N'Doul immediately tells him to shut up because "Dio Brando's a sexy man!"

** {{spoiler|[[Dragon Ball Abridged|Mr. Popo]] shows up in Hol Horse's nightmare at the end of episode five.}}

*** {{spoiler|And at the end of episode 8, King Yemma determined Avdol's place in heaven: [[Brick Joke|at the McDonalds]]}}

** Also, {{spoiler|[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Seto Kaiba, voiced by LittleKuriboh himself,]] pops up for a second when D'arby accuses Jotaro of not following the [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|rules]].}}

** "[[Avatar: The Abridged Series|Fire Lord Avdol.]]"

* [[Famous Last Words]]: [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|Mocked]], then played straight.

* [[Flash Forward]]: The "Flashback to the Future" segments.

** Lampshaded twice in the final episode, both times with the caption "Fanfic Fuel" appearing after a suggestive line.

'''Jotaro''': Wow Dio, looks like I just violated your manhole..... cover. }}

** Also gets lampshaded and defied when Dio's explaining what he did to Joseph.

'''Jotaro''': Heh heh, yeah. }}

* [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: The "comment special" video.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Joseph regularly says "Dagnabbit," but isn't at all afraid to use other, more powerful words.

* [[Grammar Nazi]]: Dio doesn't like grammar errors during the comment special.

'''Dio''': Well, I wished you saw what you typed because you can't f*cking spell. }}

* [[Grand Finale]]: Episode 10, in 3 parts. It's [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|sweet]], [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]], and all-in-all [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|kickass]].

* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]: Episode 4.

'''J. Geil''': ''*thinking*'' That's not fair, either one I choose I... ''uh-oh''. }}

* [[Hold Up Your Score]]

** Parodied when Jotaro walks past Kakyoin in a series of freeze-frames, with a "[[CLAMP]] Warning" meter at the bottom of the screen that skyrockets just as he passes him. And then plummets back to zero when Jotaro walks past him and turns his attention to Enya.

** Also shows up in the "Or is there?" video:

'''Abbacchio''': *stunned silence* }}

* [[I Have Many Names]] - The Rock introduces himself as such when auditioning for Stand Idol.

* [[In Name Only]]: Abridged? The final episode is in three parts, and is nearly as long as the final episode of the OVA. Though shortening it would be difficult without cutting out material important to plot, as the final battle rages across the entire city. And onto a river. And it's still hilarious.

* [[Insane Troll Logic]] - Joseph's interpretation of Kakyoin attacking the clock tower, which leads him to believe that Dio's stand {{spoiler|can breathe fire}}.

* [[Insistent Terminology]] - Episode 7

'''Joseph''': MONTHS. Have passed. }}

* [[Jive Turkey]] - N'Doul.

* [[Kitchen Sink Included]]: As in the original, [[Big Bad|Dio]] [[Time Master|stops time]] and throws dozens of knives at a frozen Jotaro until there are too many for him to block or avoid. Before starting time up again, he adds, "And for comedic effect..." and a kitchen sink gets photoshopped into the scene.

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Jotaro, he even quotes the trope namer.

* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]

** Kakyoin's response to getting sliced across the eyes by Geb? "Ow."

** Jotaro is also quite fond of this trope. For example: he does not so much as flinch while {{spoiler|a zombified baby GNAWS ON HIS KNEECAP.}} Cue the following dialogue.

Jotaro: What is "pain"? }}

** "Ban-dage? What a strange device. [[Is It Something You Eat?|Do...do I eat it?]] Is...is it microwavable? Does it...taste like...poptarts? I don't know."

** "I sprained my ankle!"

** [[Don't Explain the Joke|It's worth noting that Joseph complained of this after getting stabbed in the throat.]]

** "His name is [[Vanilla Ice]]."

** Also pulled two off earlier in Episode 4, during the infamous "beat your bum" line.

** Then when Polnareff and Kakyoin see J. Geil's Hanged Man in the chrome of their vehicle's steering wheel, the bizarre case of [[Lip Lock]] from the dub is referenced here by Kakyoin stating:

** Many, many from episode ten:

 

'''Jotaro''': [[Captain Obvious|That's a boat--]]* boat crashes into him* }}

 

Jotaro: {{spoiler|Well...that's a first.}} }}

 

** And, last but not least, Dio {{spoiler|when Jotaro stops time}}.

* [[Quip to Black]] - "'cause I'm cold... ''as ice.''" ([[Memetic Mutation|YEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!]])

* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]

* [[Shout-Out]]

** Even with just ''ten'' episodes, the shoutouts are already too numerous to count, but perhaps the biggest one comes in Episode 5

'''[[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]''': STOP IT! }}

** From Episode 8:

** And about 30 seconds later:

** Meanwhile, Polnareff is basically a walking [[Shout-Out]] to the Spy from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''.

'''Polnareff''': "I appear to have burst into flames." }}

** Episode 9 has so many it's hard to keep track, so here's the best way to sum it up: Kakyoin = The Matrix and X-Men, Joseph = Transformers (And it continues in the Series Finale) and about 20 others, and Jotaro has the floating Steve Buscemi head.

** Also from episode 9:

** From the Comment Special:

*** From later on in the comment special:

** Stand Idol uses almost all of {{spoiler|[[Dwayne Johnson]]'s}}.

** [[Insane Clown Posse|Magic everywhere in this bitch!]]

** [[Suburban Commando|TIME IS FROZEN TODAY!]]

** Episode 8: Let's see, a guy (Kakyoin) saving his friend (Joseph) from a bad guy (Dio) as a certain song plays and a certain sound effect from his weapon (Hierophant Green) charges up...nope, I got nothing. Zip, nada, zilch, {{spoiler|[[Mega Man X|Zero.]] }}

** D'Arby in episode 7 quotes the first few lyrics from [[Motorhead]]'s ''Ace of Spades''.

* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]

* [[Spirit Advisor]] - Jotaro's appears to him in times of dire need in the form of {{spoiler|[[Steve Buscemi]]}}.

* [[Straight Man]] - Avdol, despite being [[Berserk Button|easily angered]] [[Playing with Fire|pyrokinetic]] with megalomaniacal life goals, he is by far the most level-headed of the Joestar troupe.

** "I never thought I'd say this...but thank you, [[Bleach]]...you saved my life...[[Incarnate|I hope you never get plagiarized.]]"

** And after listening to the theme for "Jojo's Bizarre [[Adventure Time]]":

'''Jotaro''': "No, that [[Network Decay|Cartoon Network's still making cartoons.]] }}

* [[Tempting Fate]]

** Two examples.

'''Antfish''': OH GOD I WAS RIGHT! }}

** And

'''Joseph''': Dagnabbit! }}

** Invoked, then played straight later in the episode.

*Geb attacks Joseph* }}

* [[This Is Sparta]] - In Episode 9, the Chauffeur's speech patterns are...odd.

* [[Tim Curry]]

** Abridged Dio is basically him to a peg.

** Dio has a short but massive one when he learns Jotaro can {{spoiler|stop time ''and'' do it so that Dio can't move}}.

** And of course, there's D'Arby's infamous one, when {{spoiler|Jotaro's high speed stand bluff trick-cum mind molestation}} makes D'Arby lose his shit epicly.

** "''I'', '''Dio''', do not know why ''I'', '''Dio''', am included as an example here."

*** [[Excel Saga (manga)|Notice the]] [[Shout-Out]]?

* [[Visual Pun]]: In the comment special, in the aforementioned answer to a comment saying he sounds like Tim Curry, Dio, after asking other Tim Curry-voiced actors (Including Dr. Frank N. Furter), Dio then asks a pan full of curry. {{spoiler|Personally, he doesn't hear it.}}

* [[Vocal Evolution]] - Kakyoin's voice went from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR6_LCeEj5c#t=2m48s this] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmdWNal_XTc#t=5m34 this]. Note that everyone else hasn't changed a whole lot.

** Polnareff attempts to pick-up Enya using only song lyrics. She immediately notices this.

** As noted above, D'Arby quotes several lines from "Ace of Spades" when he introduces himself.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Fugo discovers the horrifying secret of the mirror world:

* [[What If]] - The whole point of the epilogue episode, really.

* [[Your Mom]]: Well, more like Your Girlfriend.

'''Jotaro''': ...when I f*cked your girlfriend! }}
