[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/klayworld Klay World] is a series of stop-motion [[Claymation]] videos by Robert Benfer (AKA [[Knox Korner|Knox]]). They showcase a group of clay people (usually blue, but other colors aren't uncommon) and their antics atop the table that is their world. It's generally regarded as the [[Trope Codifier|codifier]] of internet claymation comedy, and most subsequent similar works tend to follow the same pattern.
Line 9:
Has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0MW1E1fcb4 straight-to-DVD film].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: ''All the time!''
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't take the Newspaper Monster's newspaper.
* [[Big Bad]]: In KlayWorld: Off The Table, King Womp is this.
** In the six-part series "Knox's Klay World", this role is played by a "monster" ( {{spoiler|portrayed by a Xenomorph action figure}}). In a fun bit of fourth-wall breakage, a Klayman explains exactly why the Monster is such a problem:

'''Klayman 2:''' Yeah, but... Y'know how, when the animation's over and the replay button pops up, the dying usually stops? Well, the thing about the Monster is, he keeps on killing ''after the animation's over.'' }}
*** A helpful "KILLING DURING ANIMATION: GOOD/KILLING AFTER ANIMATION: BAD" diagram even pops onscreen.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Related to the Murderer, who is a recurring plot element (plot?!) in a few later animations. In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7YYDfN_2vQ this video], three Klaymen use the murderer's [[Catch Phrase]] ("I'm a ''murderer!''" said in a delighted tone) to identify him. {{spoiler|Then they shoot him}}.
* [[Deadly Doctor]]: Dr. Bob tries to help, but his remedies are often less-than effective.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Subverted in ''Off The Table''. While the villain {{spoiler|Rick}} does fall to his death, it is not in a family-friendly manner, with him becoming bloodily impaled on a flagpole flying the Klay World flag.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: ... Well, sort of. There was a two-part animation involving the green and red Klaymen trying to join the blues' Klay City (which apparently exists, never being spoken of before or since) and getting excluded violently.
* [[Hoist
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: The Trapper tries to get someone to stand on a big X because "X is only a one letter word." It very nearly works.
* [[Kill
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: In the movie, Mr. Black, Vince, Smiling Gary, the Aliens, one of the Caveman, a News Anchor, the long armed guy, the armless guy, and the ax guy. (Marv and Rick were killed in the movie, but reappeared in the series.)
* [[Mouse World]]: Klayworld is actually just a table in some guy's bedroom. Every now and then a human hand shows up, so there are humans. And [[The Movie]] was entirely about them leaving the table and exploring the outside.
Line 35:
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: In the episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGJ9wuk_Yyw "Glass of Water"] several Klaymen drown in a ''small puddle'' from a ''spilled glass of water'' in a matter of ''seconds.''
** And then they suffocate under a wet rag barely any bigger than their face after actively ''sitting down and putting it over their face.''
* [[The Movie]]: ''Klay World: Off The Table'' tells of what happens when the clay men decide to go [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Pretty much all of the Klay People are stupid enough to qualify for some form of ridiculous death. See the Glass of Water example above. There are relatively smarter Klaymen mixed in, though. But overall, if the Table is a [[Planet of Hats|planet]], then Too Dumb To Live is its [[Planet of Hats|hat]].
** Pancake Mines seems to be a most triumphant example of this trope.
* [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]]: Hulky says this word-for-word before [[Invoked Trope|somebody takes him up on the challenge]]. Averted in that he actually gets smaller, weaker, and perhaps stupider when he gets mad. Oh, and green. {{spoiler|Played straight later on when he gets really mad, turns huge and smashes everything. Oh, and he turned yellow, too}}.
