But, of course, they didn't stick to that. In September 2008, the team released ''AMV Hell Divided By 0'', which in a case of [[Refuge in Audacity]] deliberately set out to push the extremes of X-ratings (and poor taste) - whereas Hell 0 was largely comprised of conventional hentai, Divided By Zero jumped further still by focusing mainly on openly fetishistic content.
 
After letting the series rest and recuperate for a few months one of the original creators, Zarxrax, introduced the [http://amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvminisdownload "AMV Minis"] in July 2009. In an attempt to maintain and provide an outlet for continued interest in the AMV Hell brand while lessening the workload of its management, the "AMV Minis" consist of a series of shorter videos released more frequently, as opposed to the feature-length events of Hells 3-5. These Minis are comparable in scale to the original AMV Hell, but are comprised entirely of submissions from other editors and do not have clips created by Zarxrax himself. The "first season" of the Minis runs to thirteen episodes: eleven regular editions and two special editions - one focusing exclusively on [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]] (an abidingly popular subject for clips and skits throughout the AMV Hells) and the other a collection of "Bad Stuff", something like the Minis' own Episode 0. The second season was launched in April 2011; the first episode of the new season responded to viewer feedback that criticized the proliferation of dialogue-based skits and skits that felt dragged out and overlong in earlier Hells and Minis by limiting submissions to a maximum of seven seconds and requiring their accompanying audio to be music or song, as well as banning skits based on [[Family Guy]]. This immediately provoked a rash of complaints moaning about a bewildering pace and a nostalgic fondness for ''Family Guy'', illustrating that the AMV Minis suffer from a petulant and [[Unpleasable Fanbase]].
 
While the first season of AMV Minis was being released, the next full feature - ''AMV Hell 5: Dedicated to Dio'' (dedicated both to Ronnie James Dio as well as an AMV creator whose works had graced previous AMV Hells) was developed alongside it. Co-creator SSGWNBTD began accepting submissions to in September 2009, and on July 30 2010, ''AMV Hell 5'' (partially) premiered at Otakon 2010. It was shown to be almost complete, only missing an opening and closing. It premiered in full at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2010 on September 17, 2010, and is now available to download from the AMV Hell website or watch on [[YouTube]].

'''This series provides examples of:'''
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]: As a nod to the dub cast of ''[[Ponyo]]'', one clip in ''AMV Hell 5'' features [[Liam Neeson|Ponyo's father]] quoting the [[Badass Boast]] from ''[[Taken (Filmfilm)|Taken]]''.
* [[Affectionate Parody]] - ''AMV Hell 2'' contains a parody of the "Evangelion Opus" [[Fan Vid|AMV]]; ''AMV Hell 3'' contains parodies of the "Danger: Low Brow Humor", "Euphoria", and "Shounen Bushidou" [[Fan Vid|AMVs]]. For good measure, ''AMV Hell 0'' does a second parody of "Euphoria" (mixing ''[[Rah XephonRahXephon]]'' with Mindless Self Indulgance's "Faggot").
** ''AMV Hell 3'' also has a parody of Kevin Caldwell's "Believe".
** ''AMV Hell 3'' contains an edited version of the [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] end credits (mixed with [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]) and ''AMV Hell 4'' contains a version of the second season [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]] opening (mixed with [[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]).
** AMV editor Vic Bond 007 is infamous for his use of the lens-flare special effect. ''AMV Hell 3'' features a clip attributed to "Vic Bond 008" that consists of nothing but lens flares.
* [[The Aristocrats]] - Appears in ''Divided By Zero'', narrated by [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Nyamo]].
* [[Ascended Meme]] - Mediablasters has used signs that only say "Gentlemen, behold! CORN!!" to advertise Boku no Sexual Harrassment at conventions.
* [[Ax Crazy]] - ''Divided By Zero'' does this one literally.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]] - "[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Gentlemen, behold! CORN!]]" and its sequel "[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Gentlemen! I bring you...MORE CORN!]]"
* [[Brain Bleach]]: /0's closing credits will do their best to ruin your sex forever. [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] can be scary indeed.
* [[B Roll Rebus]]: A lot of humor comes from visually representing lyrics literally.
Line 48:
* [[Fan Disservice]] and [[Fan Service]] - 0 and Divided By 0 are made largely from [[Hentai]].
* [[Fan Vid]]
* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]] - Tay Zonday's head in the [[Barefoot Gen]] Hiroshima nuclear blast in ''Divided by 0'', and several in the [[Rozen Maiden]] Master of Puppets clip from ''AMV Hell 5''.
** [[LOLcats|Ceiling Cat]] in the [[School Days (Visual Novel)|School Days]] clip in ''Divided by 0''.
* [[Gallows Humor]] - ''AMV Hell Divided By 0'' does this one literally.
* [[Girl Watching]]
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Crops up from time to time with things like [[Paranoia Agent (Anime)|Shonen]] [[Batman]] or Microsoft [[Excel Saga (Animeanime)|Excel]].
* [[In Memoriam]]: AMV Hell 5 is dedicated to both legendary rocker [[Ronnie James Dio]] and Justin Rollins, an AMV creator (and major contributor to AMV Hell 3) who fell victim to cancer.
* [[Intercourse Withwith You]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]
* [[Mundane Made Awesome]] - The "Previously" segment at the beginning of ''AMV Hell 4''.
** And [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Tomo, Kagura and Osaka]] combining their intellects... to the sound "[[Combining Mecha|Destiny Combining]], [[Gurren Lagann]]! [[Catch Phrase|Just who the hell do you think we are]]!?!?!"
** " [[Koyaanisqatsi|Koya]][[Scrubs|anis]][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pYs9IP7aWY qatsi...]"
* [[Mushroom Samba]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRTjtpkLGoA I'M ON SHROOMS!]
Line 64:
* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]] - Most segments last no more than thirty seconds at the most, and many are shorter.
** The AMV Minis' first episode of the 2nd Season has all of its clips under 7 seconds.
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]] - Well, kinda. AMV Hell 3 had as its intro [[ACDC (Music)|AC/DC's]] "Highway to Hell", set to original animation, and AMV Hell 5, in keeping with its dedication to Ronnie James Dio, had [[Tenacious D]]'s "Dio" set to ''[[K-On! (Manga)|K-On!]]'' and ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]''.
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]] - Debatably at times.
** ''Divided By 0'' is about 25% coprophilia jokes.
* [[Running Gag]] - ''AMV Hell 2'' had one spoofing the the long shot of EVA-01 grasping Kaworu from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]; ''AMV Hell 3'' has a series of variations of the "Ellen Fleiss" parody segment from ''AMV Hell 1''. In a case of either a [[Running Gag]] or everyone going to the same well <ref>This troper, one of the contributors to this set of clips, says "going to the same well"</ref>, ''AMV Hell 5'' seems to use clips set to "[[Robot Unicorn Attack|Always]]."
** The [http://www.amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhell3 credits] for ''AMV Hell 3'' refer to them as "[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Osaka]] Cutaways".
*** They now have an AMV Mini devoted exclusively to [http://amvhell.com/video.php?do=viewdetails&videoid=369 Azumanga].
** A [[Visual Pun|visual example]] is found in the [http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/celebrity_and_showbiz/watch/v6330212H2dfz9ry deleted scenes] from ''AMV Hell 3'' beginning at the 7:24 mark.
** ''AMV Hell 5'' also features about three clips set to "[[Beyonce|Halo]]".
** 4 has repeated clips to Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek".
** One of them did so many variations of the end of ''[[Cowboy Bebop (Anime)|Cowboy Bebop]]'' that it really turned into an [[Overly Long Gag|Overly Long]] [[Running Gag]].
** The [[Western Animation]] special had 3 "[[The OC|Dear]] [[Saturday Night Live (TV)/Memes|Sister]]" jokes, but after the third the server crashes, stating that "the Dear Sister quota for this video has been exceeded".
* [[Scooby-Dooby Doors]] - Done with the cast of [[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]], with [[Scooby Doo|Fred and Daphne]] [[Makes Just Asas Much Sense in Context|fly by on a carpet in the background.]]
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] - Much of the humor comes from such juxtapositions.
** Quite possibly the ultimate example, in AMV Hell 5... [[Transformers: theThe Movie|Unicron eating a planet]], set to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aXujOsWJkY Parry Gripp's "Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom"]!
* [[Visual Pun]] - Sprinkled about for good measure.
