Line 18:
After it's initial eight episodes, the series took a break for four years before being revived due to support from fans. The second series had significantly increased special effects and a much bigger budget. The ongoing story was also written considerably well.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accentuate the Negative]]: Weakness can't really be all that bad, can it?
* [[Action Girl]]: Tina T in Series One, taken [[Up to Eleven]] with Tara in Series Two.
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Numerous One-Shot characters, Blue Womp, Tara, Panda, The Mime, and technically {{spoiler|Orange Womp, as a third series is unlikely, and the last thing he did on the show was get shotgunned in the head}}.
* [[Large Ham]]: Nobody here is a professional actor, but Steve and Mephisto stand out.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: The actors/creators are all pretty decent people, despite what their work might lead you to think.
* [[Mooks]]: Pandas, Medieval Recreationists, Ninjas, and Ballet Dancers have all played this part from time to time.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Mephisto used to be a security guard, but is now apparently on the run for tax evasion. Something had to make him snap, as we meet a former colleague of his in one episode, who seems to remember him being a nice guy. Mephisto kills him and uses his face as a mask.
* Name'sTheSame: Mephisto is not responsible for ruining Spider-Man's marriage.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The show is presented as a [[Show Within a Show]], so Steve will frequently address us and report on the Fist Team's progress. Series Two has this at the start, but the change in format pretty takes away from the [[Show Within a Show]] aspect and it is featured less and less.
* [[Non
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Specifically, snarling naked beasts who use their capes to glide. Originally Mephisto was intended to be a vampire. You can still find references to it throughout the series, such as his Batsuit. Had this had happened, their vampires would have also had their own cult, and aids.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Apparently the local council is made up of the living dead. If they aren't, it's safe to say nobody cares.
Line 101 ⟶ 100:
* [[Shout Out]]: The rap song at the end of the final episode is a reference to Sci-Fi movies with [[Will Smith]], where he would often produce a single based on the movie.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Tina T replaces Mephisto when he is possessed. In Series Two, we get Tara, a kickass android chick who can transform into a plethora of devices (most prominently, a Vending Machine). She was actually on par with Steve in terms of combat.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Played with. Steve is constantly referring to the show as a television phenomenon and boasting about their huge ratings. Within the context of the show, where they are huge celebrities, this is averted. In real life, they didn't do so well.
* [[Space Pirate]]: Captain James Cook
* [[Something Completely Different]]: Often used to fill time. In Series One we mostly get recurring segments, but occasionally throughout both we get moments such as Womp performing a rain dance that summons hamburgers, Rod running and needing a pipstop to replace his leg, and Mephisto fooling around with the Time-Saw.
