The Lazer Collection (Web Animation): Difference between revisions

* [[Anticlimax]]: {{spoiler|The first short of part 2 subverts all expectations by not firing a lazer at all.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Back for The Dead]]: Randal dies at the very beginning of Lazer Collection 5.}}

** It's not conclusive, though.

*** At the end of TLC5 trailer it's all but confirmed.

{{spoiler|'''Dr. Octogonapus'''}}: "Now release! Let it build up and release!"

{{spoiler|'''Randal'''}}: "Hnnn… BLAAAAH!!" }}

* [[Drop the Cow]]: The Lazers themselves.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Mostly from Dr. Octogonapus, and one from Randal, which was made to counter the former before he could lazer two innocent dudes.

** Dr. Octogonapus ups the ante in Part 5, where all of his entrances are by bursting through the floor in a [[Giant Mecha]].

* [[Even the Subtitler Is Stumped]]: In the Part 5 opening, though not so much stumped as just giving up because the singer is just making random noises.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: At the start of part 3, Detective Randal's superior gives up on trying to pronounce his last name, but it starts with an "O".

** Also qualifies as [[Fridge Brilliance]].

** Later on, another character attempts and fails while talking to Randal over the radio.

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The "Holy Shit" Robot that contains Doctor Octagonapus.

* {{spoiler|[[I Just Shot Marvin in The Face|I Just Lazered Randall In The Face]]: Doctor Octogonapus accidentally kills his son in part 5.}}

* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: "And so, Nipslip the dolphin once again swam back to the shores of Buttpoopia."

* [[Jump Scare]]: There is often a long awkward silence before a lazer is fired.

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The end of the trailer for the Lazer Collection 5 strongly insinuated that Randal would play a huge role. ''However''… {{spoiler|he dies within the first minute after his father accidentally vaporizes the upper half of his body.}}

** It also showed a short that isn't in the Lazer Collection 5.

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Ominous English Chanting]]: OH SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

* [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: From what little we've seen of it, the Council of Shoop has all the trappings of one at the very least. {{spoiler|Dr. Octagonapus gets fired from it by Shoop after accidentally killing Randal, who was part of their plans.}}

* [[Pure Energy]]: The Lazers. Detective Randal asks whether the energy traces on the lazered bodies are electric or solar or something. Nope -- [[This Is Sparta|Just. Pure. Energy.]]

* [[Recycled Trailer Music]]: The [[Epic Riff]] used in parts 1 and 2 was originally used for the infamously bad movie, ''[[Ballistic Ecks vs. Sever|Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever]]'', and has since been associated more with the lazer collection than with the original movie. Thank…god.

* [[Rule of Three]]: Almost played straight in the second collection, with Dr. Octogonapus appearing to blast people three skits in a row, only for the third to end with him being punched out and lazered.
