[[Badass Boast|'Cause you've been targeted for destruction by]] [[Title Drop|Dis Raps For Hire!]]'' }}

 

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Lloyd is shown at the start of each video doing something usually [[Real Men Wear Pink|heartwarming]] until he hears the story. Then he gets ''[[Berserk Button|pissed.]]''

* [[Call Back]]: Of a sort. Some of Lloyd's lyrics are quoted straight from the commented story or put a spin on them, and said comment is always shown before the actual rap starts. Here's a good example from episode 5:

'''Lloyd''': [[Ax Crazy|Make a path of blood and bones, smile walking home, leaving a trail of your body literally over a mile long!]] }}

* [[Continuity Nod]]: In the [[Cold Open]] of episode 5, Lloyd's comedy act includes a bit where he mentions how someone told him his name was weird for having two Ls in it. This is likely a reference to a previous rap of Lloyd's, "L Verse", where a friend of his told him the same thing.

* [[Doing It for the Art]]: Lloyd actually gets a mistletoe tattoo on his back for episode three to get his point across. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].

* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The first dis rap was a lot slower than future ones and didn't have nearly as many instances of [[Fun with Subtitles]]. Somewhat more subtley, the camera also moves around a bit rather than being stationary like in other episodes, and the lyrics that show up on screen were sometimes wrong.

'''Onscreen lyrics''': That's your brother man! Why did have to be such a big jerk? }}

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: It's about dis raps...for hire.

* [[Motor Mouth]]: Beginning of the fifth one, leading to [[Even the Subtitler Is Stumped]].

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Unseen in the first two dis raps, but he's made use of this trope since then.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: At the start of most episodes, he is shown doing something sweet, like reading to a little kid.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: In episode 5, his eyes glow red when he reads the story. His eyes also flash red for a split second about halfway through the actual rap.

* [[Sequel Escalation]]: Lloyd's violent acts in the [[Cold Open]]. In the first episode, he just downs a cup of coffee and rips up some paper. By episode five, he has taken to ''shooting people with lasers.'' (Though the first one was [[Accidental Murder|an accident]] and the second was to a heckler.)

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: Quite often, occasionally just to make a rhyme:

* [[Title Drop]]: [[Once an Episode]], might be shortened to "Dis Raps"

* [[Visual Pun]]: As [[Fun with Subtitles]]
