comment
Alex Bale is a normal high school student with a passion for making promos. He leads the school broadcast's promos branch and has gained some popularity for the hilarious and wacky promos he's produced. Problem is, not everyone appreciates Alex's creative indulgences, and those people tend to wind up on the list. That leads to...problems. Still, he will not be stopped from making his art, and nobody will get in his way, even when they really should.Promos is a web video series by Alex Bale, starring himself as...Alex Bale. It's a funny collection of absurd fake ads that become a proper story about an ego maniac teenager butting heads with his teachers and peers, often due to him creating the tension in the first place. To say it escalates is an understatement.You can watch the series trailer here, made after the series wrapped up. The full playlist is here.

Missing Steps Plan: Kidnapping Julian was not Alex's smartest plan. As of Pizza Time Pizza, you could argue this was because Alex wasn't in his right mind due to being influenced by The Pizza Man, and their personalities weren't completely split yet.

comment
Acquired Situational Narcissism: Alex really lets the popularity of his promos get to his head to absurd degrees. This may have been started even before this, as he owns a trophy for winning a school lip synching competition, which he proudly displays in promo #20. This trope is also played much more seriously here, using it as the driving force for all the conflict that occurs in the series.

Near-Villain Victory: Alex nearly manages to win by faking a promo to make The List useless as evidence against him. The only reason he loses is because he decides to when Jodi and Austin are threatened in his place.

And Then What?: Julian points out how ridiculous a plan it was to kidnap him. Turns out Alex really is just planning to keep him captive forever. It's an amusing gag in this series that becomes Fridge Horror in Pizza Time Pizza.

Biting-the-Hand Humor: Alex can't help but demonize Mr. Pinney, or at least use him for gag fodder. He frames him as a serial killer in #14, and one can guess he didn't appreciate this come #18 where he becomes a censor.
