''Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah!''
''America! Fuck Yeah!''
''Freedom is the only way, yeah!''|Theme song}}
Line 21:
* [[America Saves the Day]]: Well, yeah. It's kind of their theme song.
* [[Analogy Backfire]]:
{{quote|
'''I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.''': Yes, there is! }}
* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: Parodied mercilessly. The "Islamic" terrorists' vocabulary consists of: durka, durk, ha, sherpa, Allah, Muhammad, and jihad. Everyone who doesn't speak American has their vocabulary similarly chopped.
Line 29:
* [[Bad Guy Bar]]: The terrorist hangout in Cairo, Egypt, complete with the Cantina theme from ''[[Star Wars]]'' played ''backwards''. A bar patron wears a gas mask that makes him resemble a character in the Cantina scene.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Apparently Kim's roneriness.

** More like "Worthy Enemy Button", since this was probably the first time anyone figured out his [[Freudian Excuse]].
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]:

* [[British Teeth]]: Seen on the "BW" (a parody of BBC) newsreader in a deleted scene.
Line 53:
** {{spoiler|Or a man...}}
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Sarah's [[Spider Sense|clairvoyance]] manifests as this.
{{quote|
* [[Censor Decoy]]: The explicit sex scene was thrown in entirely to distract the MPAA from the movie's ''other'' offensive elements. It worked perfectly -- the film's original rating with the sex scene was NC-17. The theatrical cut ''only'' alters this scene to get the R.
** When paired with the extremely tame and brief Gary/Spottswoode oral sex scene, the over-the-top Gary/Lisa sex scene may be interpreted as a satiric protest against the [[But Not Too Gay]] double-standard.
* [[Chekhov's Lecture]]: Gary's infamous "Dicks, pussies and assholes" speech was first given to him by some random drunk after he quit the team.
* [[Cliché Storm]]: Intentional, and mocked constantly.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: ''America, Fuck Yeah!'' is the most notable.
* [[Cool Car]]/[[Cool Boat|Boat]]/[[Cool Plane|Plane]]: Team America's "Valmorphanizing" vehicles.
Line 65:
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Every member of [[Fun with Acronyms|F.A.G.]] has quite a gory death.
* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Subverted.
{{quote|
* [[Cyanide Pill]]: Mocked. When Gary is being prepped for a mission, they somberly tell him that he might be captured and wish to take his own life. So they give him... {{spoiler|a hammer}}.
** It turns into a [[Brick Joke]] when {{spoiler|the hammer}} reappears by Gary's side as he drinks himself into depression at a bar, [[Driven to Suicide|contemplating suicide]].
Line 104:
** Subverted in the fact that when a group wants to protest them, they can show up at outside the monument and then {{spoiler|inside the hanger}}.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Sarah's response upon learning that Joe "has feelings for her".
{{quote|
* [[Literal
{{quote|
'''Spottswoode''': Have you ever seen [[Logic Bomb|a man eat his own head]]?}}
* [["London, England" Syndrome]]: Whenever they change location, a subtitle points out its distance to America. "Paris: 2,258 miles from America." (It's actually the distance to New York).
** And then Panama is located "south from the real America".
* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: Carson and Lisa loved each other, but Carson got killed and tells Lisa to find somehow who will love her as much as he did. Gary and Lisa falls for each other, but Sarah falls for Gary and Joe falls for Sarah. And then Gary has to {{spoiler|perform oral sex on Spotswoode to get back onto the team}}.
Line 130:
* [[Pokémon-Speak]]: MATT DAMON!
* [[The Power of Acting]]: Why Gary got hired. Turns out that when he's confident enough, he can pull off [[Jedi Mind Trick|Jedi Mind Tricks]], defend others from the same, and pull them on ''several hundred people at a time.''
* [[The Power of Trust]]
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Played for laughs with Kim Jong-Il, where a good chunk of his appearances have him throwing tantrums for one reason or another.
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Rape As Comedy]]/[[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)]]: Chris' [[Freudian Excuse]].
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: Kim Jong-Il's argues that there are no clichéd happy endings because they live in the real world ...and then starts a [[Time Bomb|5 minute coundown]] that the [[Big Damn Heroes]] stop.
{{quote|
** The filmmakers intentionally designed non-American locations to look like what Americans might assume those places to look like. All of France's monuments are within walking distance of each other, and citizens of Cairo all dress like they're in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Lots of violence. The sex scene is extremely explicit (especially since they have no genitals.) The vomit scene involved two or three times the volume of vomit as the vomiter's entire body.
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Gary's Big Speech that changes the mind of everyone in the stadium.
{{quote|
'''Lisa:''' You had me at "dicks fuck assholes".}}
* [[Shout-Out]]. Tons of them, such as Gary starring in a Broadway production of ''[[Rent|Lease]]'' which concludes with a song about how "Everyone has AIDS".
** The lyrics of the song "America, Fuck Yeah" include "[[
* [[Sequel Hook]]: An obvious one, however Matt and Trey don't want to touch marionettes anymore and the movie, while not a bust, fared quite poorly.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Kim Jong-Il
{{quote|
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To the show that inspired it: ''Thunderbirds''. Made funnier by the fact that a live action ''Thunderbirds'' movie came out the same year.
* [[Strawman Political]]: Both Team America and FAG.
Line 168:
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]
* [[There Are Two Kinds of People in the World|There Are Three Kinds of People in the World]]: Dicks (who fuck everything), Pussies (who ''get'' fucked by everything), and Assholes (who shit on everything).
** It seems that Parker and Stone are a bit more "[[Ha Ha Only Serious]]" than they originally let on, there. You can see the same speech given by another libertarian luminary, Bill Whittle. He calls it [https://web.archive.org/web/20111024060042/http://pajamasmedia.com/ejectejecteject/2009/10/07/tribes-2/ TRIBES], and the three groups are "sheepdogs (protect sheep, attack wolves)", "sheep (protected by sheepdogs, attacked by wolves)" and "wolves (attack ''everyone'')", respectively, but it's the same basic idea.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Often using missiles to destroy lone terrorists. Which usually blows up the city as well.
* [[Throw It In]]: According to Stone and Parker, they hadn't originally planned to make Matt Damon any smarter or dumber than the rest of the actors guild. However, when his borderline-caveman looking puppet came in, they decided on the spot to make him a drooling idiot.
Line 181:
* [[Wimp Fight]]: Fight scenes consist of two marionettes flailing arms and limbs for about ten seconds before one of them abruptly stops moving and the other declares victory.
* [[World of Ham]]
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Kim shoots [[Alec Baldwin]].
** [[South Park|Not the Baldwins!!]]
