[[The Abridged Series]] of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''. Like other recent series, it manages to avert [[Larynx Dissonance]] by having several voice actors of both sexes.

{{tropelist}}
* [[All Up to You]]: While Beast Boy and Raven stumble upon, work out and abandon a relationship on the sidelines, Cyborg is forced to take on Raven's "Trigon" personality shard by himself. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|He wins.]]
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Beastboy refers to Aqualad as one in Episode 8.
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Raven ("I hate all of you") as well as Robin and... everyone else, except possibly Cyborg.
** Lampshaded more than once in the Thunder and Lightning episode.
{{quote|'''Robin:''' This city already has its own destructive jerks! The Teen Titans!
** Another example is a running gag where the Titans are confused when people refer to themselves as friends.
{{quote|'''Raven:''' Destroying the national park didn't work. And destruction is all we know how to do!}}
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Beast Boy's nightmare is being in a [[Slash Fic]] with [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]].
* [[Discriminate and Switch]]: When the Titans go clubbing.
{{quote|Beast Boy: I bet Cyborg can do a mean robot.
Cyborg: Oh sure, just because I'm black you assume I can dance. }}
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Everyone, at some point or the other
* [[A God Am I]]: Raven's [[Boisterous Bruiser|gung-ho]] personality, who demands worship as lord and savior.
** probably a case of [[Actor Allusion]] as Faith's Melody also provides the voice to Haruhi Suzumiya in FullMetalChao's "[[The Abridging of Haruhi Suzumiya]]"
*** Word of God is he wasn't even thinking about it. It was just a coincidence.
* [[Lampshaded the Obscure Reference]]: In episode 11, after a few references were made, Robin wondered who declared it obscure reference day. He then gets annoyed when Starfire claims a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' reference would be obscure.
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: episode four "How to be an Anime Without Really Trying" from "How to Succeed in Business...."
** Arguably episode five also, "Full Metal Panic!" referring to the manga series of the same name.
*** Also, "All of Me," for the Steve Martin movie.
* [[Meanwhile Back At The]]: As ever, with a bit of ''[[Superfriends]]'' parody
** Some would say it manages to become an [[Overly Long Gag]] by the second episode.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Cyborg's robo-tendrils and the squid probe. "The rape of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|tentacles is not in my contract]]!"
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: The line "Actual Dialogue" will flash at the bottom of the screen if it's something particularly bad that the characters really did say.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Blackfire replaces Starfire by the end of episode 2 and the others make sure she copies her completely so no one will notice.
** This apparently worked well in real life. Although she drops character every other episode, the Youtube comments always say "Oh yeah, I forgot she was Blackfire!"
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
** Or when Raven and Beast Boy break up after "dating for ten seconds".
{{quote|Beast Boy: You're a hot girl who runs around in a swimsuit. ''Of course'' I like you.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Raven's 'destruction' quote above is a reference to a ''[[Futurama]]'' quote about 'murder.'
** There have been a couple references to Freakazoid, too; Raven "throws a barrel" at a monster in episode three, and the dance club in episode two plays the Freakazoid theme song. Also, Beast Boy uses the phrase Crud Vapors as an expletive.
** "Your dad[Trigon] is [[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]]?!"
* [[Start My Own]]: Cyborg, with obligatory ''[[Futurama]]'' homage.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Starfire thinks of Robin in terms of "friendship and nothing else, and certainly nothing involving chains and hot wax."
* [[Take That]], [[Wedding Peach|"second-rate magical girl anime!"]] (likely [[Affectionate Parody]], considering TokuTenshi's involved...)
** Grant Morrison gets a knock at his unusual storylines in Episode 8, with the introduction of Pices the Aquadog.
* [[This Is
* [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough...?]]: Done with a flashback to the first episode. Gizmo could learn from Fix-It.
** Starfire's not an alien, she's just a cloud of swamp gas...
