Line 1:
{{work}}{{MIA}}
Will, Samael, and Cricket are a bunch of lazy kids who have just gotten out of college. They have no talents. They have no money. And their last job was absolutely horrible.
Line 6:
Also, there are robots and demons and stuff. But seriously; work.
A bunch of scripts for an animated series, ''[[Odd Jobbers]]'' is written by [[Tropers/Los Zombies|Los Zombies]].
So far, there are four scripts. The series isn't updated on any schedule, but updates are fairly constant.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: SAMAEL! CRICKET!... Will.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Banjo's van seems to be one of these. Samael still thinks it's pretty sweet.▼
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: In ''The Panzers!'' it's revealed that Samael's full name is Samael [[Satan|Morningstar]].
* [[Bad Boss]]: Carl was one of these. It's the reason the Trio quit working for him. He keeps one of his employees chained up.
Line 26:
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: According to Carl, Botch is an example of this. He certainly doesn't show a lot of brains in the brief time we see him.
* [[Floating Advice Reminder]]: Samael gets two of these in ''The Panzers!'' when he is about to make a decision involving Banjo's van. The first one is remembering the threat that Banjo made earlier. The second one is of a [[Cloudcuckoolander|fireman telling him to give the van a cool paint-job.]]
** Will: The reasonable one. The more grown-up of the three. (Superego)▼
** Cricket: The least intelligent; tends to just follow the others' leads. (Ego)▼
** Samael: Lazy, egotistic, and more interested in seeming cool than actually working. (Id)▼
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: Samael [[Invoked Trope|tries to make one of these happen]].
{{quote|'''Samael:''' Let's just... try and get there before all of the easy jobs are taken.
Line 35 ⟶ 39:
* [[Jerkass]]: According to Will, Samael can't help being one of these.
* [[Klingon Promotion]]: How somebody becomes king of the Netherworld.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Harry the landlord prefers to just give people insulting nicknames than actually call them by their actual names.▼
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: The Amazing Tag {{spoiler|until it's revealed he's just a guy in a robot costume.}}
* [[No Waterproofing in the Future]]: The Amazing Tag is defeated by a spray-bottle. Which is odd, considering {{spoiler|he wasn't actually a robot}}. Then again, Roger did make the the Stink Murderer sound rather dangerous.
* [[Orphaned Punchline]]: Manfred and Harry get one of these in ''The Hammer of the Punks''. It apparently involves frogs taking over the world.
▲* [[Power Trio]]: Since there are three main characters, this is a given.
▲** Will: The reasonable one. The more grown-up of the three. (Superego)
▲** Cricket: The least intelligent; tends to just follow the others' leads. (Ego)
▲** Samael: Lazy, egotistic, and more interested in seeming cool than actually working. (Id)
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: The only reason Carl doesn't kill the Trio is because {{spoiler|it was closing time.}}
* [[Purple Prose]]: The Fifth of March speaks like this, all while drinking glass after glass of lemonade.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Spell My Name with a "The"]]: The Amazing Tag.
** Also, [[Companion Cube|the Sanjaya 5000]].
▲* [[The Nicknamer]]: Harry the landlord prefers to just give people insulting nicknames than actually call them by their actual names.
▲* [[The Alleged Car]]: Banjo's van seems to be one of these. Samael still thinks it's pretty sweet.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: {{spoiler|Banjo's van, for some reason.}}
* [[Word Salad Title]]: So far, every script has a title that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.▼
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The Fifth of March.
▲* [[Word Salad Title]]: So far, every script has a title that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.
