Line 21:
The mysterious leader of the Tribunal, Mr. Selatcia, often forces The Tribunal to [[We Wait|wait]] for Dethklok's actions to play out in full, and he appears to have a role in their rise to power and glory. His true motives, as well as his ultimate connection to Dethklok and the Metalocalypse, remain unclear…
The series initially ran fifteen-minute episodes beginning in 2006, but after two half-hour episodes in Season Two, the show switched to a full half-hour format starting with Season Three. The show's fourth (and final) season, which returned to the fifteen-minute format,
{{tropelist|''Metalocalypse'' provides brutal examples of the following f[[Sound Effect Bleep|*guitar*]]ing tropes:}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Several - Go Forth and Die (Nathan), Rehabklok (Pickles), Fatherklok (Skwisgaar), Dethdad (Toki), Birthdayface (Murderface), and also the episodes focusing on Doctor Rockso.
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
* [[Deceased Fall Guy Gambit]]: Dethklok does this after realizing that they've been embezzling from themselves.
* [[Defictionalization]]: Brendon Small has done several live tours as Dethklok, not to mention released ''The Dethalbum'', which has the honor of being the highest-charting Death Metal album in Billboard's history. A followup album, ''The Dethalbum II'', was released in September 2009.
** Dethklok Minute is partially defictionalized, existing as a [http://community.livejournal.com/dethklokminute/ news community on Livejournal] and [http://boards.adultswim.com/adultswim/board/message?board.id=metal&thread.id=49502=true a devoted thread on the Adult Swim boards]{{Dead link}}.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120104041128/http://www.adultswimshop.com/cat/Metalocalypse/Metalocalypse-Dethklok-Fountain.html The Dethklok Fountain] has now also been defictionalized, for those of you with $40,000 to drop on Adult Swim merchandise.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Nathan increasingly edges toward this trope in season 3, what with the other band members [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|stealing the spotlight]].
** So has the Tribunal. A few episodes don't even have them show up at all.
Line 212 ⟶ 213:
* [[Expy]]: Murderface is essentially a cartoon version of [[Black Sabbath|Geezer Butler]], and Doctor Rockso is basically David Lee Roth.
** All of the members of the band are intended to be expys of real life musicians. Murderface, as stated, is Geezer Butler, Nathan is an expy for George [[Cannibal Corpse|"Corpsegrinder" Fisher]], Pickles is very clearly an expy for [[Devin Townsend]], Skwisgaar is an expy for renowned guitar virtuoso, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Toki is intended to be an expy for Mikael Akerfeldt of [[Opeth]].
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20150522122353/http://naturesgraffiti.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/metalocalpyse.jpg Here's a comparison picture for each band member].
* [[Eye Scream]]: Performanceklok has a video of an eye operation going on in the background of the band meeting.
* [[The Faceless]]: The Klokateers. All wear hoods and we never see their faces.
Line 579 ⟶ 580:
** When musing on what their lives would be like if they stopped being famous, the process is referred to as becoming "a regular old jack-off".
** Subverted slightly with Toki, in that there are times where he'll connect with a fan enthusiastically. However, he generally resumes his hatred for everyone shortly thereafter.
*** Really on display in "[[Fan Klok]]"... and from what we see, [[Take That, Audience!|Dethklok is totally justified in their disgust]].
