Line 45:
* [[Dingo Pictures|Mouse Police]]
* [[Beauty and Warrior]] (Yes, [[Brick Joke|really.]])
* Annotated Fan Fiction (Practice)- Has basically become a roast for Irrelevant where people get to deliever sweet pay back to him. (Not that he's not okay with that.) <ref> Irrelevant402 testing the waters for a pet project where he wants to write a fan fiction, claiming to be a [[Crisis Crossover]] and then having it read over by Microsoft Sam. This is merely him reading the first two pages before deciding on the Sam approach. Claims he wants it for an early/late anniversary gift/a valentine towards the experiment in general</ref>
* [[Super Mario Brothers|Super Mario Bros at the Ice Capades]]
* Dr. D's Crossing the Bridge Of Adolescence
Line 60:
** Irrelevant's upcoming project/valentine/salute for the channel Annotated Fan Fiction which was partially introduced by 'Annotated Fan Fiction (Practice)'
* [[Angrish]]: In the early days when anybody could contribute, any moment of particularly horrible quality would result in the screen being filled with derogative remarks. One would usually need to pause the video in order to see them all.
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: [[Lampshaded]]. A kid known only as Junior is transported to the Mushroom Kingdom by accident and remarks on how he's instantly, effortlessly come to terms with his situation.
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Kevin's<ref> yes Kid Icarus helped but he might have been shooting a net arrow so what was the point of zapping a football.</ref> destruction of a Football world, interpreted as a class 5, got a lot of comments. And later he was called out for worrying about Faxandu being destroyed by The Evil One but showing no compassion for Football World.
{{quote|'''Annotators''': Wow only Kevin could manage to turn a game of football into an apcolyptic situation like this./And so the N-Team completely obliterated the grassy world of American Football...World./ Our heroes just killed millions of football players! Even as a nerd I am disgusted!/Kevin, you just quite possibly made the 9/11 of Video Land. And you're going to pop jokes?}}
Line 72:
* [[Behind the Black]]: Many a speech bubble represents a character speaking from off-screen.
* [[Berserk Button]]: The slightest allusion, be it accidental or not, to any would-be scrappy character from another series causes at least one person to speak of ways to murder them.
** Each annotator has something that sets them off. Everyone being in on the plan except for Megaman in the Captain N season 1 finale pissed off a lot of people. Irrelevant gets really pissed when two people are supposed to be good friends and it is strictly told and not shown in episode 5 of the Mortal Kombat cartoon.
* [[BLAM Episode]]: Many of the intermissions come and go.
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Particularly cheesy ones would be repeated. These tend to become a [[Never Live It Down]] moment.
{{quote|'''Sonya: '''"Haha! Shocking!"}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Whenever a character looks towards the camera and pauses, this is invoked. Many of the characters' speech bubbles address the show's content from an unusually [[Genre Savvy]] standpoint too. Basically everyone can be [[Deadpool]] if the Annotators will it.
Line 96:
* [[Clip Show]]: In a rather interesting take on the format, Street Fighter ended with a music video showcasing the series' craziest moments. There are similar plans for Zelda and Captain N too.
* [[Collective Groan]]: Pretty common with one of the biggest being for the Red-Blue episode of Mario Bros, The Nutshack returning, Little Panda Fighter and the first Dingo Pictures production.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]:
** The speech bubbles, most of the time anyway.
** Most of the Annotators' notes too, making them somewhat identifiable as to who posted what.
Line 122:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Make a racially or culturally insensitive joke in front of these guys...We dare you.
** After wanting to do the Nutshack and Beauty and Warrior...Irrelevant402 had an 'oh crap' moment when Dingo Pictures reared its ugly head.
** Sure they love to make 'come get some candy in my van' cracks but when an actual pedophile is the antagonist in Tricky People there are ZERO people going for a [[Draco in Leather Pants]] route and even some just slight cheering for the damn Yellow Dino when he takes matters into his own hands.
** This one is a shocker: typically they dislike child characters and scrappies. Yet many announced how disgusted they were with the death of the Gold Dragon in the second Dragon's Den episode. Yes this is even AFTER the Gold Dragon's baby form was a pallate swap of the dreaded Puff. Pretty much the writer's killed off a 'five minute old' creature with zero thoughts of the implications.
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Happens a lot, especially with captions turning it into King Harkinian's laugh from [[Link the Faces of Evil]].
Line 146:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Don't call it a monster, call it a "[[Street Fighter (animation)|kaibutsu]]."
* [[It Got Worse]]: Captain N, the show not the character, grew on the team what with having a number of ensemble darkhorses. While the quality of animation and writing slipped in season 2 both had their highs and lows. Then season 3 rolled in a everyone began shitting hoops at the pooor quality.
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]:
** Bye son!
** YESH!
Line 156:
* [[Mondegreen]]: [[In-Universe|Usually deliberate]]. Anything sounding more like profanity than it actually is makes for a common target. It became especially common during Captain N as they often had no idea what Mother Brain was saying otherwise.
** Also from Captain N, "Havin' a Log!" from the Season Two song "Havin' a Ball". Became a minor running gag brought up whenever logs are involved.
* [[Men Are Generic, Women Are Special]]: Often when [[The Smurfette Principle]] rears its head the female character will complain about not being allowed to be wacky or not allowed to be wrong like the men or having to be subjected to a [[Girls' Night Out Episode]] just to get focus.
* Misblamed: Yes, Irrelevant was the that whined for Nutshack and Beauty and Warrior when intermissions were nearing. He certainly wasn't the one to uploaded them with the only thing he put up was 'Annotated Fan Fiction.' Considering their horrible quality he is far from innocent of course.
* [[Mistaken for Masturbating]]: Played with big time when King Hippo reached into his pants for pieces of paper, and when he briefly appeared to be doing it while looking at one of them.
Line 165:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Given that just about every Captain N episode gets some element of the games wrong, correcting remarks will flare up all over the place.
* [[Necessarily Evil]]: Why Irrelevant402 likes pushing for [[Bile Fascination]] every once in a while. Sometimes it is good to rage on something horrible and it helps appreciate the [[So Bad It's Good]] stuff.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: See [[Bond One-Liner]] above. In addition:
** In one episode of Captain N, Kevin said "time for a power move!" only to fall flat on his ass. This has been referenced several times when someone stumbles during a fight scene. Whenever Kevin is hailed as a great hero someone brings up that the 'hero' is too terrified to clean his room.
** On a meta level, Irrelevant will ''always'' be remembered for The Nutshack and Beauty And Warrior.
Line 202:
** The audience booing and throwing rotten food as the curtain came down in the ''Super Mario 3'' cartoon.
*** There was a callback to this during ''Mortal Kombat'' while the characters were exploring an empty theatre.
** The [[Ensemble Darkhorse|purportedly unlikable]] Simon Belmont of ''Captain N'' often has bad things happen to him for comic relief. When he doesn't deserve them, some variation of "Haha, that'll teach you to (innocent or helpful action)!" will appear.
** Every time a character looks stoned (i.e. with droopy eyelids), someone would say "420 smoke weed erryday".
** Since ''Captain N'', whenever a pop culture reference is made, the word "Topical" would appear.
Line 232:
* [[Shameless Self Promotion]]: Just about all the material they annotate comes across as this.
** Somewhat played with in Annotated Daydream which was uploaded because one of the annotators wanted to see them make fun of his old band that had broken up.
* [[Shown Their Work]]:
** People will sometimes throw in actual production tidbits into their annotations.
** "X does not work that way!"
