Line 28:
* [[After the End]]: The setting for Zoofights 5.
* [[Altar the Speed]] / [[Wedding Deadline]]: Not the tropes themselves, but Major Failure is "directing" Zoofights V at the same time as his ''wedding''.
{{quote| '''Gravitas Shortfall''' (on whether Lesko, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Robotnik]], and the two [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctors]] should continue their roleplay rivalry, and one of them got snippy): I'm sorry you think that MF taking time out from organising and drawing three fights in the week ''before he has to get married'' is a dick move. I know it must be ''terribly'' hard on you.}}
* [[Alternate Universe]]: {{spoiler|Gamma Constrictor has made himself a part of the fabric of time (or something), which has caused many roleplay characters to either become snake-themed, the [[Mirror Universe]] version of themselves (EG the evil [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Capt. Kirk]] and the kindly [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Spiral Entity]]), or as one put it "I've become every [[Space Marine]] ever!".}}
* [[Always Male]]: Each and every fighter is referred to as "he" (or sometimes "it"). The trope persists even when Zoofights 4 introduced Tunguska, an alien queen, and in Zoofights 5, which brought in Blood 4 Oil, a giant mosquito. Only female mosquitoes suck blood. Blood 4 Oil sucks blood. [[Critical Research Failure|Still called a "he"]]. Update: It took until Round 2, but Major Failure did realize, yes, Blood 4 Oil/[[There Will Be Blood|DRAAAAAAINAGE]]/[[Punny Name|Brutish Petroleum]] ''is'' female.
Line 40:

* [[Berserk Button]]: Never, EVER call Croctopus "rubbish".

Line 57:

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Hydrafficus, when it faced Inquisipede.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: The Mecha-Ants from Zoofights 4 recieve this treatment courtesy of a few [[Look Around You]] references. "Bless you, Mecha-Ants. Blants."
* [[Breath Weapon]]: Bastard Shark, Hellpotamus

Line 187:
** Zoofights 5 continued with this tradition, this time having all 8 entries at each other's necks.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Snapture

* [[Multiple Head Case]]: The Berlin Walrus, [[Punny Name|befitting his name,]] has two heads to represent capitalism and communism.
* [[Named Weapons]]: Prejudice.
Line 209:
** Snake Preview of Zoofights 5 is also pretty punny. Zoofights just relishes silly names.
** Let's not forget '''A GORILLION DOLLARS'''!
** The Berlin/Cold Wa(r)lrus, Croaka Cola, Murducken, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Cray |Cray]] Fish, [[Japanese Ranguage|Playing]] Mantis...
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Zoofights 3 gives us Steamcrab. Oddly enough, Steamcrab isn't even British - he was ''Japan'''s entry.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Zoofights 4. It's like Zoofights 3, but IN SPACE!
Line 216:
* [[Reveal Shot]]: Zoofights 6 - {{spoiler|In the final, Vighneshvara and Armour Dio are shown in a close-up shot pummeling each other. Then the next picture pulls back the view to reveal that [[Magnificent Bastard|they are unknowingly being surrounded by]] [[Actually a Doombot|six lobster-controlled mechs.]]}}

Oh, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and]] Tim Buckley<ref> I'm surprised that with all the Keith Thompson characters no one used [http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/necromancer.html this ingenious lady] as Lilah/Brittany</ref>. However, there's a rule that the role-playing shouldn't get too out of hand least it get in the way of the actual fighting, which apparently happened in one of the earlier rounds [[Old Shame|to everyone's detriment]].

** Zoofights 5's round two match between {{spoiler|Punchules the Magnificent and Banebarrimundi}} contained several [[Batman]] references, specifically {{spoiler|"I WILL BREAK YOU". Remarkably fails to take down Punchules, who has a spare spine that he uses ''to strangle Banebarrimundi''.}}
** Zoofights 6: PW Botha of [[District 9 (Film)|Johannesburg]] got an [http://i54.tinypic.com/sdcp5h.jpg invitation.] Bull Market has a sleazy [[Wall Street|gecko]] sidekick.
