The Guild: Difference between revisions

* [[Big No]]: Zaboo at the end of Wit's End, Clara at the end of the Season 2 pilot.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Riley on Zaboo, though it's more of a case of dubious consent. He's clearly not into her kinks, but he allows her to do it anyway. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|It actually works]].

* [[Blonde Brunette Redhead]]: Clara, Tink and Codex.

* [[Bodyguard Babes]]: {{spoiler|It is revealed at the end of season 5 that Zaboo's twin [[Halo|Master Chief]] thugs were actually women.}}

** Other characters including Codex, Fawkes and even Zaboo's mother go through lesser degrees of development over the series.

* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The end of season 3. Did '''not''' see that one coming.

** As is Jeff Lewis, the actor who plays Vork. He seems to cuss in every other outtake in the gag reels.

* [[Code Name]]: All the characters seem to prefer their online aliases, at least with each other. Tinkerballa [[No Name Given|doesn't even give her real name when asked.]] It takes until Season 5 for her name to be revealed, it's {{spoiler|April Lu}}

* [[Fake Out Make Out]]: Tink asks a drunk Codex to pretend to kiss her to obscure her face from {{spoiler|her sisters}} at the Con.

{{quote| '''Tink:''' I said 'pretend to kiss me' you perv!}}

** [[Big Bad]]: Fawkes

** [[The Dragon]]: Venom

* [[Good Cop Bad Cop]]: Season 3 episode 9, {{spoiler|Codex and Zaboo's interrogation of Valkyrie takes on this aspect when Zaboo starts venting some of his repressed anger and Codex admits that he's starting to scare her.}}

* [[Greek Chorus]]: Sir Loopalot

* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: Averted. A lot of the main cast is attractive, but they have serious psychological problems that, while exaggerated and [[Played for Laughs]], have some basis in reality. It's not hard to see how Codex can't get a date despite looking like she does because of her [[Extreme Doormat]] tendencies and massive insecurity. The utter lack of a [[Beautiful All Along]] reveal is notable as well.

* [[How Many All of Them]]: Vork claims to speak every language.

* [[I Banged Your Mom]]: This trope is repeated verbatim when Resident [[Scary Black Man]] Cop of the Axis of Anarchy bangs Bladezz's Mom as part of the attacks on the guild.

** Played with, as it turns out he actually liked her, and is dating her at the start of Season 4.

* [[I Can Change My Beloved]]: In season 1, Zaboo tries to pull this on Codex. (When it doesn't work out he instead tries to change himself, but that's a different story.)

* [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]]: Season 3 episode 7 has a Batman homage using the head of [http://finnsmulders.com/ "Finn Smulders"].

* [[Missing Mom]]: Clara manages this despite still being (technically) a member of her family and a 'stay at home mom'.

* [[Mistaken for Pedophile]]: Vork was pretty much asking for this when he stopped by an elementary school in his van. Later, when Vork says that if the Knights of Good lose and are disbanded he'll go back to playing Chinese Checkers with the neighborhood kids, Codex shoots him a WTF look

* [[Most Gamers Are Male]]: Subverted by the fact that guild is evenly split between men and women. [[Felicia Day]] has said she did this on purpose to prove a point that there are more girl gamers out there than guys think there are.

* [[Moving the Goalposts]]: From Vork's point of view, anyway--Codex tells Vork he can help himself to anything in her kitchen, but then decides that doesn't include her frozen yogurt maker.

** In Season 5, Ep 7, Zaboo says he is off to attend a panel called "''[[Fable]]'': Tickle your way to the Monarchy."

* [[Shower of Angst]]: Vork soon after discovering Clara's betrayal. So soon that he doesn't even have time to go to his own shower. Or take off his suit.

** The Head: Codex

** The Muscle: Bladezz

** As of Season 5, this is officially the case between Codex and Zaboo.

* [[Verbal Tic|Verbal Tic'd]]

** She was pretty eager to keep Zaboo and stunt guy fighting to give her a sense of self-worth. Zaboo did start it, and it ended up biting her in the ass almost immediately, but it was still pretty iffy considering how badly Zaboo could have gotten hurt.

** Fawkes and Codex of all people seem headed in this direction.

** Codex eventually {{spoiler|has her fill of Fawkes, and now is discovering she's got a crush on Zaboo}}
