Parrying Bullets | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_10d36992 | comment |
Parrying Bullets: In "If you learned how to deflect in real life", Caleb's roommate deflects a plastic bottle thrown at him. When he denies having done this, Caleb throws a folding chair at him, which, much to Caleb's misfortune, he also deflects right onto his knee. In "Why do Sekiro's enemies even fight him?", when a guard shoots him with a rifle, Sekiro easily parries the bullet. Convinced he must've missed, the guard shoots him again, to no avail. The guard then calmly puts his gun against the wall and walks away, wishing Sekiro a good day before he leaves. Notably, he's the only guard Sekiro doesn't kill. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
The eponymous drug dealer in "If they let a drug dealer into a musical." openly deals while singing and dancing loudly that he's a drug dealer. Unsurprisingly, he gets immediately arrested mid-song. | |

CalebCity (Web Video) / int_1c6a80fe | comment |
Dropped in the Toilet: Exaggerated in "Dropping anything in the bathroom" where somehow anything Caleb drops will, on its own volition, travel to the bathroom and fall into the toilet, even when he's nowhere near the bathroom. This includes a cellphone which crawls there from the living room, snakes under a closed door, locks the door so Caleb can't stop it, and then finally dunks itself in the toilet. | |

CalebCity (Web Video) / int_1f799027 | comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: In "If the 'Forgot your password' thing was a person", Caleb runs into one, who is standing in as a website's login system. After Caleb repeatedly inputs the wrong password, the system suggests that he request a password change; when Caleb attempts to change his password to one of his previous attempts, however, the system breaks into hysterical laughter and informs him that the new password can't be the same as the last. A stumped Caleb tries to put the same password in order to log in, but is once more told that the password is incorrect. Caleb then changes the password to a simpler, different password, and attempts to use it after it is successfully changed, but... | |

Unfortunately for him, the cops do not abide by musical theater rules and immediately tackle him down and arrest him mid-song. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: The residents of the house that the robber tries to steal from fail to see him close the closet door that he's hiding in, him dashing behind the front door as they enter the house, and him behind the front door as they close it. The protagonist in When the hero is just as smart as the villain somehow fails to notice that the villain was never in the same room, and that he'd been on FaceTime all along. Fortunately, the villain was FaceTiming from his house... where the hero already was. | |

I Meant to Do That: In "The first person to make cheese", Azul says this after accidentally creating cheese when he was supposed to deliver milk. When the king (who threatened to kill him if his milk wasn't up to its reputation) tastes the cheese, Azul begins to apologize and beg for his life, until the king declares that he actually loves the cheese, upon which a visibly relieved Azul starts screaming that he did it on purpose in celebration. | |

Ax-Crazy | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: Quite a few characters in his videos end up being insane and murderous: The wasp in "If Insects had to Introduce Themselves" enjoys hurting people for no reason other than his amusement. The villain in "When the Hero is Just as Smart as the Villain" plants bombs around the city to blow up, as well as attempts to blow up the hero's dry cleaners. "It's at the bottom of the bag" features a villain in the friend's bag who enjoys punching old ladies. The robber in "If You Learned How to Quick Save in Real Life" walks around with a bat, and he's a bit too eager to murder anyone that gets too close to him. The guy in "how objects feel when you're raging on a video game" at first is just a normal gamer getting mad at a video game and taking his anger out on objects near. However, him later on acknowledging that the objects are sentient when he asks why the water bottle is sweating, and then him pulling out a freaking ax to attack the poor bottle, while repeatedly stating he's gonna delete the game, shows that he's actually pretty crazy. | |

To prove his point, he snaps his fingers to free the ally from his mind control. Then it's revealed that the punching was part of the heroes' plan all along to bait the villain to free the ally. | |

Agony of the Feet | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_37d94ed9 | comment |
Agony of the Feet: invoked In "This is how it feels sometimes", Caleb runs out of his room in order to deliver his roommate's laptop charger before his battery runs out. Before the roommate can warn him, Caleb stubs his toes on a chair and collapses on the floor from the pain, blood leaking from his mouth. The whole situation is Played for Drama until Caleb notices his foot doesn't actually hurt. After removing his sock to check the damage, however, pieces of sausage, smeared with ketchup, fall off the sock. In "I didn't even push you that hard", when Caleb pushes his brother to the floor, his ankle breaks (somehow). Taken up to eleven when the broken foot somehow gains sentience and seeks revenge against Caleb by dragging both itself and Caleb's brother on the floor, much to their collective horror. Then it's taken up to TWELVE when Caleb accidentally (or not) breaks his own foot while trying to escape, only for his own foot to also gain sentience and menacingly twist itself as it turns towards Caleb, with both brothers left unable to stop screaming in abject horror. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Sometimes comes up in his videos, and occasionally played with: "If they let a drug dealer into a musical." See Wrong Genre Savvy below. "People that think the manager can change everything." Stores can't accept a returning item if you paid with cash instead of card and you lost the receipt, which the manager and district manager try to say to the customer. Then he tells them to get the president. Not the president of the company, mind you, the president of the United States. The district manager, exasperated, tells the customer that it's extremely difficult to even contact the president. Doesn't stop them from calling him a few seconds later, though. When THAT doesn't work either, the customer demands to speak to the United Nations, but the district manager has had enough at that point. The Evil Overlord in "Villains that always kill their subordinates" resorts to killing his minions whenever they do anything wrong. Rather than having the subordinates leave or attempt to fight the villain due to the bad treatment, it instead backfires because he literally runs out of allies to send to fight, with the one killed at the beginning of the video being the very last one. Even the maintenance staff weren't immune from being killed, leaving Patrick wondering how the lights are still on if he kept killing people for months. The overlord failed to realize that nothing, not even minions, is infinite. "Villains with TRASH reasons on why they're evil." Regal steals from banks that are run by murderers, because the same murders killed his parents in front of him, as well as putting his city into poverty. Louis, on the other hand, murders people simply because he was made fun of in middle school. Regal understandably calls him out on this. Anybody would be horrified to hear about someone becoming evil for such a petty reason. Well, except for the police officer, who gets Louis to stand down easily by saying that he's sorry about their pasts. Louis then apologizes to the officer, who accepts it, much to Regal's shock. Mind you, the officer had a stronger reaction to Regal's backstory, especially the part where the higher-ups at the banks canceled his preorders. In "What they SHOULD do in anime.", the villain asks for powerful stones at the store. While the storekeeper goes and gets them from the back, the villain internally monologues to himself while bearing a Nightmare Face about how he'll finally rule the world. The storekeeper comes back, takes one good look at the villain's face and realizes that he's evil, so the shopkeeper refuses to hand over the stones. "How anime Senseis teach ANYONE that isn’t the main character." shows what happens when you inflict Training from Hell on a regular human with no Plot Armor. The result? With just one move, the student is either dead or comatose. Cue the sensei freaking out when he can't wake him up and the situation goes From Bad to Worse when Master Avocado calls him after the fact and tells him to go easy on the student. "How fearless minions are in ANY video game." The MC/protagonist/player character begins to get exhausted with the enemies when they keep trying to fight him. "Heroes when ANY of their allies are under mind control." As the villain points out, repeatedly punching someone who's under mind control in the face is not going to snap them out of it. To prove his point, he snaps his fingers to free the ally from his mind control. Then it's revealed that the punching was part of the heroes' plan all along to bait the villain to free the ally. "When you ACTUALLY answer a 'Scam Likely' call." Simply dealing with one telemarketer is not going to stop the scam calls. "In a Zombie apocalypse..." See Living Is More than Surviving above. "How some shows try to make the VILLAIN the friend." See Defeat Means Friendship above. | |

CalebCity (Web Video) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: In the skit about the gameplay pausing so the player can make a dialogue choice to progress the story, the driver asks for the passenger's social security number (and address, too!) and the passenger is only given the prompts to give him his SSN or give his SSN and even more of his personal info. If he doesn't answer, he can't progress in the story — in other words, he's trapped there unless he gives up his personal info. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
"Villains with TRASH reasons on why they're evil." Regal steals from banks that are run by murderers, because the same murders killed his parents in front of him, as well as putting his city into poverty. Louis, on the other hand, murders people simply because he was made fun of in middle school. Regal understandably calls him out on this. Anybody would be horrified to hear about someone becoming evil for such a petty reason. Well, except for the police officer, who gets Louis to stand down easily by saying that he's sorry about their pasts. Louis then apologizes to the officer, who accepts it, much to Regal's shock. Mind you, the officer had a stronger reaction to Regal's backstory, especially the part where the higher-ups at the banks canceled his preorders. | |

In "Putting your glasses down for 5 SECONDS", Caleb gets hit with this while not wearing his glasses: not only can he not see a thing, for some reason he's also unable to hear speech as anything other than Simlish. | |

Save Scumming: In "If you learned how to quick save in real life." Caleb quicksaves while his house is getting robbed, sends his friend to fight the robber then reloads to learn what he has equipped before rushing him with a Katana. He turns out to be extremely powerful and both of them have to take the thief on. Then they have to take him on again when teaming up results in overkill (after Caleb teaches his friend how to quicksave, of course). | |

Nintendo Hard | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: In-Universe. Caleb has some skits that invoke this trope one way or another: "When the game you're playing is way too hard." The extremely fragile protagonist repeatedly dies after stepping on a small rock, getting killed by a death stare from a chicken, and drinking water too fast. "Games that have ANY type of ledges in them" The protagonist manages to die from falling off a two-foot high ledge, jumping off the same ledge, stepping onto a ledge, and simply being idle next to the ledge. That last one causes Caleb to rage quit. "When your game pays way too much attention to detail" The game begins to become more detailed and complicated as Caleb plays. He even says this quote before that happens: "Games where the Npcs have priority over everything.": Caleb ends up in a fight with an enemy, and an NPC runs up to Caleb and interrupts him...while the enemy is still attacking him. Caleb was unable to exit out of the dialogue in time and gets killed by the enemy. invoked "Games that have TRASH camera controls.": Caleb ends up having a hard time moving around in the game due to the glitching camera. He eventually ends up losing a fight because he couldn't move or attack, and eventually declares the game an Obvious Beta because of this. | |

No Time to Explain: Parodied in "Being a side character while the smart characters figure everything out". A detective is brought to a crime scene to see if he can find new evidence, but he spends all the time internally monologuing while performing a Sherlock Scan, which drives his partner crazy as the detective simply mentions that something is wrong but won't explain what it is and completely ignores him (even as he savagely trashes the crime scene in frustration). Eventually the detective works out that they janitor is the murderer, but rather than explain his reasoning he simply says that there's no time to explain and that they have to catch him now. | |

Cue Oh, Crap! from the current robber, who also sees the other robber's corpse hidden behind the couch as he attempts to leave. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: In "When you travel through time to stop yourself from making a dumb mistake", Caleb travels through time to stop himself from making an unspecified, but dumb mistake. The thing is, he's travelled from the past to the future, where his future self is missing an arm. Once Future Caleb points this out to Past Caleb, the latter takes a few moments to process his mistake before giving himself a Face Palm. He then compunds his mistake by realizing that he used up all of his fuel because travelling to the future is more expensive than going to the past. When Future Caleb calls him stupid, he suddenly remembers having made the trip from his own perspective and remembers that he made extra fuel in the last 5 years after returning to his time while waiting for this moment. Unfortunately, it's only enough fuel to send Past Caleb back to his own time rather than to the time before his original mistake. In "When you gotta question your own intelligence", at the end, Caleb says to his neighbor that he got the latest Smash game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When his friend points out that the game hasn't been released yetnote The video was made on March 31. Smash Ultimate came out on December 7., Caleb internally says, "Dammit..." If watched on Youtube, the opening scene of the "game" is shown, and that's when Caleb's friend realizes he's been scammed. He's not happy. | |

So he tries robbing his teacher for one. Who knows him. And putting on a face-concealing mask after he showed up maskless. | |

This trope is kinda parodied in "When the Writers REALLY Wanna Write Off a Character" where despite all logic, the guy with the protagonist wants to die a senseless sacrifice. They can easily escape through a nearby door that leads to outside, they have a friend waiting outside in a 4-door car, and the zombies literally say they can't get in through the locked door. Yet, the guy with the protagonist decides to go out anyway and fight a horde of zombies as "distraction". Not even a minute later, he can be heard screaming. | |

Bottomless Magazines: In "Guns in movie scenes", two bank robbers are pinned by a cop, who starts shooting at them while they take cover. The robbers decide to wait until the cop runs out of bullets before jumping him while he's reloading. Four hours later, not only has the cop not stopped shooting or attempted to reload, the robbers have given up and beg him to stop shooting. | |

Smarter Than You Look: When the hero and villain in When the hero is just as smart as villain. starts to reveal how deep their crazy plans against each other went, the "Legendary Thief" remarks that his adversary is smarter than he looks. The detective (who is, as usual, just Caleb with a different outfit and personality) mutters as a side note that that doesn't really work here. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Quite a few of Caleb's videos feature characters like this: This trope is kinda parodied in "When the Writers REALLY Wanna Write Off a Character" where despite all logic, the guy with the protagonist wants to die a senseless sacrifice. They can easily escape through a nearby door that leads to outside, they have a friend waiting outside in a 4-door car, and the zombies literally say they can't get in through the locked door. Yet, the guy with the protagonist decides to go out anyway and fight a horde of zombies as "distraction". Not even a minute later, he can be heard screaming. The "brilliant" scientist in "The Time Viewer" builds a device that allows him to communicate with anyone from the future, which he uses to talk with himself and he gets warned that the device is gonna explode (right before the device explodes and kills his future self). However he assumes it's nothing more than a joke, and just laughs it off.... And then the device explodes and kills him. As mentioned in Suicidal Overconfidence, the minions in "How Fearless Minions are in ANY Game" qualify as this, as they keep trying to fight the main character despite the clear signs that they stand no chance against him. Bonus point for the last guy who STILL tried to fight him after he defeated the boss. In "Friends can't take anything serious," Jasper is this. Despite being rightfully pissed off at his friends over at the police for not dispatching officers to deal with an ongoing break-in, he stops whispering and speaks loudly enough for the burglar in the next room to hear him. Then he rises to them baiting him with "no balls" and tries to confront the burglar, with predictable results. | |

Hypocritical Humor: Played straight and invoked on a meta level in "Maining ANYBODY in Smash", where Caleb argues at the top of his lungs, with himself, about how Richter and Simon are or are not variants of the same character (after talking trash about playing one but not the other). In Friends can't take anything serious, Jasper gets pissed when his friends not taking him seriously, not sending the police to deal with a dangerous burglar, and says that they're adults now. Thirty seconds later, he rises to the bait of his friends saying he has "no balls" and immediately tries to handle the burglar himself, which predictably fails. | |

Blood from the Mouth | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_b8dbe475 | comment |
Blood from the Mouth: "If people in anime actually took their bleeding serious." depicts a superpowered fight where the villain is surprised to take a clean shot to the gut, muses that he might have to use thirty percent of his real power, then stops, is surprised to cough up some blood... completely stops, no, no more fight; he's lost and then some, he is pretty sure something is broken inside and wants an ambulance. Things just get stranger when the hero, who is used to this happening, punches himself, coughs up blood and is all ready to keep going. | |

Evil Overlord | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_b8dde2 | comment |
The Evil Overlord in "Villains that always kill their subordinates" resorts to killing his minions whenever they do anything wrong. Rather than having the subordinates leave or attempt to fight the villain due to the bad treatment, it instead backfires because he literally runs out of allies to send to fight, with the one killed at the beginning of the video being the very last one. Even the maintenance staff weren't immune from being killed, leaving Patrick wondering how the lights are still on if he kept killing people for months. The overlord failed to realize that nothing, not even minions, is infinite. | |

"People that think the manager can change everything." Stores can't accept a returning item if you paid with cash instead of card and you lost the receipt, which the manager and district manager try to say to the customer. Then he tells them to get the president. Not the president of the company, mind you, the president of the United States. The district manager, exasperated, tells the customer that it's extremely difficult to even contact the president. Doesn't stop them from calling him a few seconds later, though. When THAT doesn't work either, the customer demands to speak to the United Nations, but the district manager has had enough at that point. | |

CharacterDeath | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_c15195f0 | comment |
Character Death: A blatantly enforced one occurs in-universe during "When the writers REALLY want to write off a character": in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, two survivors hide in a room and lock the door to keep the zombies at bay. One of them decides to Hold the Line while the other escapes, but his friend points out they can both escape through the backdoor, where Jasper is waiting with a car with more than enough space for the two of them to fit. The first survivor insists that there's no time and tells his friend to leave without him. In the time it takes them to argue, the zombies finally reach the door, but give up after several seconds of trying to open it to no avail and verbally admit they can't get in before deciding to just leave. The first survivor then decides to go outside and fight the zombies while his extremely confused friend escapes. | |

That's kind of what happens when you inflict Training from Hell on a regular human… | |

Running Gag: Whatever the subject of the video is, you can probably bet that it'll result in the characters questioning reality from how absurd their situation is. | |

Killing Intent | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_fbfba1bb | comment |
Killing Intent: Downplayed in "How EVERY throw away villain acts when the MC needs power scaled". After warning the two thugs threatening him that it's a horrible idea to do so, he finaly just looks at one of them with 'intention to harm.' The guy promptly explodes. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: In-Universe. "Getting caught in a stealth game." has the player character sneaking around and knocking out any witnesses who see him. Near the end of the skit, he encounters a baby, who starts crying. Panicking, he quickly knocks them out. That's what causes the mission to end in failure. | |

Don't Make Me Destroy You | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_fd32c5a1 | comment |
Don't Make Me Destroy You: In "How fearless enemy minions are in ANY video game", the protagonist keeps trying to warn the minions not to try and fight him and stand down. None of them listen. In "How EVERY throw away villain acts when the MC needs power scaled", the protagonist keeps warning the duo of villains trying to mug him how bad of an idea it is to attack him and that they're going to die. Then shows them a video of him beating one hundred guys by himself who were trying to murder him, while literally having the blood still on his hands. They don't listen and both die with the minimum amount of effort possible. | |

Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"!: In Friends can't take anything serious, Jasper is goaded into fighting the burglar breaking into his house by his friends working at the police, who simply tell him "no balls" after he asks them to do their job and send help. | |

Chromosome Casting | |
CalebCity (Web Video) / int_ffb79066 | comment |
Chromosome Casting: Due to the channel averting Crosscast Role, if there aren't any actual women in a skit, all the characters in said skit will most likely be all male. | |
