[http://www.youtube.com/user/1KidsEntertainment#g/c/B332265A0D8A591A This series], often shortened as P:TBS, prides itself in using humor that defies many of the Tropes typically seen in Pokémon parodies and other [[Abridged Series]]. As of April 2012, there are fifteen episodes and various extras, including redubs and songs performed by the characters. [http://www.youtube.com/user/xJerry64x xJerry64x] and [http://www.youtube.com/user/Nowacking Nowacking] co-write, whilst 1KidsEntertainment does the video stuff, and between the three of them they handle all the voicing as well (1Kids: Ash, Pikachu, James; Nowacking: Misty, Jessie; Jerry: Brock, Meowth, The Narrator).
Not to be mistaken for Box of Danger's ''[[Pokémon:
{{tropelist}}
Line 29:
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Pikachu seems to be one for Schadenfreude.
{{quote| '''Pikachu:''' Watch it ''bleed!'' It's entertaining!}}
* [[Cute Is Evil]]: You think you're familiar with the adorable Clefairy? [[Not
* [[Dude, She's Like, in
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Misty's sister, Sisty
* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]: The only person to so far legitimately befriend Brock, Barbara, has a ''really'' bad case of this. {{spoiler|So does Bulbasaur}}. However, it's more like "Elber Fubb Sybdrobe."
Line 42:
* [[Lost in Transmission]]: A [[Running Gag]] involves Oak saying "By the way, I f*cked your--", only to be cut off by an explosion.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: In-universe, Misty finds Barbara to be this. Out-of-universe, ''everyone'' finds Barbara to be this.
* [[Not
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Misty was originally played by xJerry64x, but was quickly replaced by Nowacking in the second episode. [[Hand Wave|Handwaved]] as an illness called "[[Cross-Dressing Voices|falsettosis]]". Also played around with at the end of episode 3, where several different voices "audition" for the voice of Pikachu, including a self-destructing [[Doctor Who|Dalek]]!
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: All three protagonists have been [[I Have No Son|disowned]] by their parent(s) at some point during or prior to the series: Ash (on his birthday, no less) so he wouldn't dip into his mom's savings account, Misty because her love for Fire-type Pokemon was seen as a disgrace to her family of Water-type trainers, and Brock for sullying his family name with his unhealthy obsession with breeding. In defense of Brock's father, Brock deserved it.
* [[Pokémon-Speak]]: Played straight in some cases, averted in others. Pikachu, for one, is the series's most prevalent aversion to this trope; he speaks perfect English and has conversations with other characters.
* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Brock is first shown traveling with the others in episode 5 without even showing how or why he's with them. Subverted in that Ash has absolutely no idea who he is at the time, and doesn't even notice him until they start talking to each other.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Misty, the more time she spends with Ash and Brock. Episodes 14 and 15 ({{spoiler|despite the latter being [[All Just a Dream]]}}) imply that Brock is doing it on purpose to ensure she doesn't steal his friendship with Ash.
* [[The Stinger]]: Episode 10 has, like, five. Episode 15 has four.
