Ten Little Roosters is a 2014 murder mystery comedy web series created by Rooster Teeth, consisting of eight episodes that aired weekly from November 4 to December 23. The series is an affectionate parody of Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None, and runs on the Ten Little Murder Victims premise synonymous with the novel.The series takes place at the inogu...inaugg...first banquet held at the Rooster Teeth office by Burnie Burns with nine other Rooster Teeth employeeslist Lindsay Jones, Gus Sorola, Chris Demarais, Miles Luna, Gavin Free (technically him and a clone, but they're treated as one person), Adam Ellis, Michael Jones, Barbara Dunkelman, and Ryan Haywood. However, the party goes downhill when Michael Jones accuses everyone of committing serious crimes in the past, saying that one person is guilty of "cold-blooded murder".Shortly afterwards, the guests find a poem taped to the wall written in the style of the original "Ten Little Soldiers" poem (said poem can be read in full here◊), and from the first episode it becomes clear that the poem is outlining the murders of all but one of the party guests over the course of the night. Everyone is then locked in, and they must figure out who the killer is among them.After the first episode, viewers were asked to submit guesses as to who the killer was and who the survivor would be (confirmed to not be the killer). After each episode aired, viewers were also asked to guess who would die in the next episode, as well as how they would die.The list of the victims, how they died, and the eventual survivor is as follows: One Choked On His Rage: answer Michael Jones is poisoned after drinking a toast from a tampered champagne glass. One Tripped Over Themselves: answer Gavin Free and his clone literally bump into each other over several mousetraps that chew them up. One Was Martyred: answer Chris Demarais pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to save Burnie from being shot by arrows, and dies himself. Life Imitated Art: answer Burnie Burns gets a lethal sting from one of Joel's scorpions after trying to reach for a gun. One Died To Scale: answer Gus Sorola is stabbed through the chest with a pitchfork, dying the same way Baby Gus died. One Ran Out Of Air: answer Not Ryan Haywood, trapped in the Edgar hole, but Adam Ellis, who is strangled in the motion capture room with the cord of a computer mouse. One Got What They Wanted: answer Lindsay Jones, a Kind Hearted Cat Lover, gets mauled to death by a puma when she calls it away from Ryan. One Died Of A Pun: answer Miles Luna has his hands glued to a treadmill and is forced to run on it until he dies of exhaustion, unable to "go the extra mile." The Killer Was Killed: answer Barbara Dunkelman, the mastermind of the whole plot, is killed by Gavin's 100% Accurate Creeper Suit after mistaking it for a green screen outfit. And Then There Was One: answer Ryan Haywood successfully defeats Barbara and makes it out of Studio 5 alive.As these tropes relate to a murder mystery with nine different murders and multiple plot twists, beware of spoilers below.A sequel series, The Eleven Little Roosters, was announced at RTX 2015, in which the survivor of the series is recruited by an international spy agency to root out The Mole in a group of 18 assassins and spies from 11 agencies around the world. A prologue series, Assassin Superstars 360, premiered on December 20, 2016, and the official series premiered on January 16th, 2017. This time, with the exception of the survivor, characters are original characters, and not RT employees playing fictional versions of themselves. Both series were then followed by another Spiritual Successor series, Dead Little Roosters, in 2021. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: As the poem indicates, all but one of them will by the end. Even offscreen, this was happening; based on the incriminating photos everyone picks up, almost everyone committed murder (except Ryan, whose photo just has Edgar in a hole, and possibly Miles, who doesn't get a photo). Aside from the shout-outs to Rooster Teeth Shorts, these include Adam killing Kerry* "The point we just can't take... anymore. Right, Adam?", Lindsay killing Kdin* "A top 5 way to die, by Lindsay!", and - perhaps most jarringly - Gavin killing Meg, his girlfriend* "No one likes a Know It All, do they, Gavin?". And this is before we learn that the murderer trapped in here has been killing for a while... Episode 6 makes us think that Ryan's time has come... only for the picture to fall off the wall as glass smashes and Ryan finally climbs out of the hole. When the actual * Adam victim is shown a few minutes later, his portrait is nailed to the wall to make it stick this time. | |

Never Split the Party | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_15adb9a8 | comment |
Never Split the Party: Double subverted. Adam rejects an offer to team up with another Rooster, asserting that the killer is planning on people coming together so he can kill them since that's exactly what happened to Gavin. They pay dearly for this mistake. Of course, the Rooster that makes the offer turns out to be the killer, so perhaps it's more delaying the inevitable. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Adam refuses to team up with Barbara in episode 4 in case the killer plans to murder them both at once, since that's exactly what happened to Gavin and his clone. He turns out to be Wrong Genre Savvy, since keeping his distance from others made him easy to ambush and strangle. The killer is very aware of Ryan's reputation, and uses that to their advantage - knowing that Ryan would be the most obvious choice for the killer, Barbara deliberately uses his GTA V outfits as a disguise to make it look like Ryan had been the murder, since the suit would be covered in the blood and DNA of the victims. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Things might have turned out very differently if Chris had answered Burnie's vitally important question ("You saw the murderer?! Who is it?") clearly instead of making it sound like his Lord of the Rings fantasies. May be justified by Chris being a Cloud Cuckoolander. Things might have also turned out very differently if Adam had yelled at Miles when he saw him in Monty's room, not whisper. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: So far, these have also counted as Ironic Deaths for their victims. The first: Michael, known for Rage Quit, choked. The poem explicitly states "one choked on his rage." The second: The Gavins bump into each other while running and fall into a cluster of mousetraps, getting chewed apart in slow-motion. The poem states that "one tripped over themselves." The third: Chris, a huge Lord of the Rings fan, is shot with multiple arrows like Boromir to protect Burnie, fulfilling the poem's statement that "one was martyred." The fourth: Burnie, while gearing up to find the killer, accidentally touches a scorpion while reaching for a gun, which ends up poisoning him. The poem stated that "Life imitated art", so Burnie had to die like how his character in Red vs. Blue did, which in that case, was from the scorpion tank. Furthermore, it was Joel's scorpion, and Joel played Caboose, who had been driving the tank at the time. The fifth: Gus is ambushed by the killer and skewered through the chest with a pitchfork. Gus's blackmail photo revealed that he had accidentally killed Baby Gus with a dinner fork while eating. The sixth: Adam is also ambushed by the killer and strangled by a computer mouse wire. What makes this bad is Miles is seeing this as a mocap animation and he's mistaking it for a Red vs. Blue mocap video... that goes into sex. The seventh: Lindsay is mauled by the escaped puma. The poem stated that "one got what they wanted," so Lindsay had to die by the very thing she loves. A cat. The eighth: Miles has to run on a treadmill until he dies of exhaustion. "The killer was killed": Barbara put on a green screen suit to stealthily stalk Ryan... except she chose Gavin's 100% Accurate Creeper Suit. Which is full of explosives. And was built by Ryan himself, so he knows how to activate it. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the final episode, Ryan ends up questioning how he got captured when the last thing he remembered was Lindsay saving him from the puma and getting killed for it. Barbara handwaves by saying that she somehow got the drop on him and knocked him out — mostly so she could get to monologuing. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Chris, due to his obsession with The Lord of the Rings, keeps thinking like he's in a high-fantasy despite really being in a murder mystery. For instance, in episode 2 he encounters a mysterious figure wearing a skull mask in a dark hallway. Instead of assuming this person is the killer and running, like a sane person would, he assumes they want to challenge him to Riddles in the Dark. He also ultimately screws up Burnie's confrontation with the killer by having an overly long and dramatic death sequence which physically blocks Burnie's line of fire. We see in the third episode that, rather than taking a stand or actively searching for the murderer, a lot of the employees are doing the most reasonable thing: hiding and waiting for the cleaning lady to come in the morning and let them out. This ends up working against Gus, who is impaled by the murderer, and Adam, who is strangled by the murderer. Adam's decision not to team up with Barbara and merely hide winds up leaving him open for ambush by the murderer. Though given that Barbara was revealed to be the murderer, it wouldn't have made much difference. Miles has convinced himself that by acting like Ruby Rose he can make himself the hero of the story, and thus, the Sole Survivor. Although he does last until the final three, his determination isn't enough to help him survive the treadmill trap. | |

Black Comedy: As a murder mystery created by Rooster Teeth, there's black comedy everywhere, particularly in the death scenes (most notably the Gavins and Lindsay). After Miles' death, Ryan and Barbara joke about the death via treadmill. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_22cf536c | comment |
In the finale, after the survivor has been revealed and the credits have rolled, Tolkien's "All that is gold does not glitter" — the same poem that Chris quoted in the first episode — appears onscreen. All the lines of the poem fade from the screen except for the last: "The crownless again shall be king." Not only is this a clever reference to Ryan being the last one alive, but it also turns Chris' offhand comment into a huge Chekhov's Gun, meaning that viewers could have predicted the survivor from the very first episode. | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: Several of the crime/victim images revealing who each person killed previously have one of these written on them, often referencing the victim or killer's works. For example, Adam's photo of the dead Kerry reads "The point we just can't take anymore... right, Adam?", which is a reference to both of them working on RWBY. | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Played with. Initially it appears as if Miles is the most normal of the bunch, as it's not certain whether he even had a past crime due to the missing photograph (unlike the others). He seemingly undergoes Sanity Slippage, as he starts sporting Slasher Smiles starting with episode 2 and sees nothing wrong with dressing up as Ruby Rose to help him survive, yet at the same time he's the only Rooster who continually does the sensible thing: attempt outside communication to get help. Everyone else quickly gives up on that count and just hides or tries looking for the killer by themselves. Burnie, jerkass though he may be, comes the closest to playing this trope straight, considering he's actually an undercover cop. He's actually presented as the only credible threat to the killer. This makes the ease of his murder even more surprising, failing to notice a conveniently placed scorpion on his desk. | |

The killer is very aware of Ryan's reputation, and uses that to their advantage - knowing that Ryan would be the most obvious choice for the killer, Barbara deliberately uses his GTA V outfits as a disguise to make it look like Ryan had been the murder, since the suit would be covered in the blood and DNA of the victims. | |

Batman Gambit: Barbara murdered Cop!Burnie's partner because she knew that Burnie would respond by trying to trap her with the fake dinner party, gathering all her planned victims into one place for her. Michael's murder might not have even happened if Barbara hadn't been sure that Gus would hand Michael the glass in anticipation of a toast. There's also the case of Ryan's mental breakdown in the fourth episode — Barbara killed off Michael and Gavin first and planted their dolls, knowing that Ryan would question his own sanity due to his sociopathic tendencies in Achievement Hunter videos. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: For the murders of the Gavins and Lindsay, only blood and body parts are shown as they are being murdered. However, the audience does get a final shot of Gavin as he dies, suggesting that Lindsay's death was even gorier... Subverted for Barbara's death. The explosion itself is just a flash but we see the aftermath of just legs and a waist remaining and the rest having been reduced to a fine bloody mist. | |

Wham Line | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_4e7c4536 | comment |
Wham Line: More like a Wham Sound, but Episode 6 leads us to assume Ryan died in the hole (even cutting to his portrait prior to it)...and then we hear the sound of glass breaking. In the finale, after the survivor has been revealed and the credits have rolled, Tolkien's "All that is gold does not glitter" — the same poem that Chris quoted in the first episode — appears onscreen. All the lines of the poem fade from the screen except for the last: "The crownless again shall be king." Not only is this a clever reference to Ryan being the last one alive, but it also turns Chris' offhand comment into a huge Chekhov's Gun, meaning that viewers could have predicted the survivor from the very first episode. | |

Miles has the plan to go seek out Monty's police beacon, only to forget all about it as he's mesmerized more by the mocap of Adam being strangled and thinking otherwise. Barbara's plan to frame Ryan as the murderer hit two snags: using a tie to bind them and mistaking the 100% Accurate Creeper Suit for a green screen suit. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Whilst nobody seems to be completely sane to begin with, you get the sense that some people are starting to lose their grip on their sanity one would expect from being locked in an inescapable place with the promise that all of you will be murdered one by one, having no clue when you'll go, and until then having to watch your friends die. Miles is easily the first to go this way in episode 2, gaining a Slasher Smile when he decides it's time to "put on The Suit". Episode 3 reveals that "The Suit" was the Ruby Rose costume. However, despite this, he is notably the only one to keep attempting outside communication so that the police will be summoned, which might make him more level-headed than his co-workers who hide, try to find the killer alone, or just write poetry during the crisis. Ryan definitely has the most prominent moments of sanity slippage from episode 3 onward. First he thinks he might be the killer after questioning his involvement in the deaths of Michael and the Gavins. In episode 4 he starts talking to himself, posters and some dolls to try and reassure himself that he didn't commit any murders, then he hallucinates a Creeper attacking him. He really loses it in episode 6 after being trapped in the underground prop room, possibly due to the lack of oxygen in the room. Lindsay gets stuck in an imagine spot stroking an imaginary cat, and later is hiding out in front of a green screen and acting like she's actually in the environments projected onto it. Also she pets a mounted deer head. Her other attempts to hide or blend into other work environments show that she's slowly but surely losing it, though she too at least attempts to contact the outside world and tell them to call the police as well. Ultimately it manifests in her belief that she can "speak puma" and while she saves Ryan from a terrible fate she dies quite horribly. Adam's is more subtle than any of the above, but it's there. Initially, he's really confident and gung-ho about stopping the killer himself, but after finding his emergency bow-and-arrows stolen and seeing the Gavins' death, he loses all composure and spends all his time hiding. As more and more Roosters start dying, his hiding strategy devolves into wearing dark clothing and pressing himself flat against dark walls "like a mollusk". He also starts wearing noise-cancelling headphones to drown out any scary background music he might hear. Barbara's had happened even before the gathering took place. Through studying Gus' poetry she believed herself to have 'ascended puns' and therefore was above everyone else at the company - therefore they all needed to die. She does a good job of not actually showing it though. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: The show's creators highlighted the rule that there's only one survivor left at the end, and the survivor can't be the same person as the murderer. All very well and good, but the poem in the series - which was written by the murderer - says the same thing, which means that either the killer wrote that for the sake of the poem, or they've already predicted their own death... The finale reveals that when the poem stated that "The killer was killed", Barbara meant that Ryan was the one who was supposed to be framed for the murders since everyone thought that he would be the killer. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Chris dies saving Burnie in episode 3. The poem stated that the victim would be "martyred". An accidental one is pulled off in episode 7: the puma is approaching Ryan and poised to kill him when suddenly Lindsay calls it off of him, thinking she can "speak puma". It mauls her and presumably Ryan gets away. | |

Wimp Fight: Ryan's fight with the Creeper. All they do is slap Ryan around a bunch as he meekly tries to defend himself. When Ryan actually starts to fight back, he knocks them out in one punch. This foreshadows his fight with Barbara, who also fights like this. | |

Ending Fatigue | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_6d23fddb | comment |
Ending Fatigue: In-Universe; mentioned by Burnie in episode 3 when he tells Chris that his LOTR role-playing is "about as long as those 12 endings to that shitty movie". This is taken to another level when Chris' death, mirroring Boromir's, is humorously prolonged after Chris dramatically collapses, seeming to have died, only to get back up. This happens several times, long enough to piss Burnie off. | |

Let's Split Up, Gang! | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_6f619fab | comment |
Let's Split Up, Gang!: Barbara proposes teaming up with Adam to increase their survival odds, but the latter rejects this out of hand, arguing their odds worsen that way. His rationale is that he initially teamed up with Gavin, but the killer planned for both of them to die together in a trap so staying separate is best. Thinking like this gets him killed, as the killer strangling him would have been harder if someone had been around to help him, or if he had properly gained Miles's attention. This seems to be the plan for most of the guests - the only time that more than two characters are shown onscreen at the same time is in the first episode. Apart from that they're either going solo or randomly bumping into other guests with no plans to form a team. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Did nobody think to pick up Michael's gun? Though to be fair, firearms and other weapons have been picked up around the office, so it may have just been seen as unnecessary. The gasoline and lighter the killer was holding in Episode 2 seemed important at the time, only to not crop up again. In the first episode everyone gets an envelope that contains evidence for blackmail except for Miles, who just find doodles of dicks in the envelopes he receives. Whilst the situation is mentioned again in the finale as Barbara misplacing Miles' blackmail envelope, it's never revealed what was originally supposed to be in Miles' envelope. See Forgotten Fallen Friend above for people examples. In Episode 6 and 7, the objective of Miles is to locate the emergency distress beacon beneath Monty's workstation. Shortly after reaching their destination, said person gets distracted by the disturbing motion-capture video (for the wrong reason) and leaves, seemingly forgetting all about the beacon. The puma is forgotten about after mauling Lindsay. | |

Gambit Roulette | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_987be393 | comment |
Gambit Roulette: The murderer seems to have a very convoluted plan that involves predicting the actions of 9 persons of varying levels of stupidity while still remaining above suspicion. Additionally, several elements are set up by the killer beforehand that lead to the death of a Rooster depend on some level of contrivance, such as Barbara accidentally activating the gate to the puma cage or one released scorpion ending up exactly in the right place to sting Burnie. Somehow everything falls into place and everyone dies in the order that they were planned to. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Whilst it isn't spelled out completely, the poem◊ foreshadows the deaths of nine of the party guests, as well as hinting at how they will die. In episode 2 Burnie explains to Ryan how his character was the first to die in Red vs Blue after being killed by a scorpion tank. Two episodes later Burnie gets murdered in a manner reminiscent of his fictional death. Just over a minute into Episode 1, Chris quotes the famous Tolkien line "Not all those who wander are lost." As the end of the final episode shows, the final line of that poem is "The crownless again shall be king." The Sole Survivor? The Mad King, Ryan Haywood. Ryan's fight with the creeper in Episode 4 turns out to be foreshadowing his fight with Barbara. Barbara's blackmail photo. Blaine was killed by poisoning (the same way that Michael was murdered) and he was the only victim in the blackmail photos to die this way. This is revealed in the finale to be one of the clues for figuring out the killer from the first episode. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: Miles when he sees motion-capture footage showing up on Monty's computer.

Overly Long Gag | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_a188ac4b | comment |
Overly-Long Gag: Chris' death in Episode 3, which took three arrows and a whole lot of fake outs for him to finally die. In episode 3, the little montage of clips showing Miles dressed as Ruby Rose goes on for thirty seconds. Granted, it isn't as long as most examples, but the content can make each second feel agonizingly embarrassing or utterly hilarious. The death of episode two, if it can be considered a "gag". Possibly justified in this case since it was in slow-motion, since it was the Gavins dying. Sort of with Gus' death. Those reaction and murderer holding weapon shots were hilariously cheesy. | |

Funnily enough, Burnie bringing that up winds up being Foreshadowing. | |

No OSHA Compliance | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_b47d95be | comment |
No OSHA Compliance: Even disregarding all of the killer's deliberately lethal actions, Rooster Teeth Studios is apparently an unsafe workplace, since there are no emergency exits and Joel is allowed to keep several species of poisonous animals in his office for some reason. There is also apparently a live puma locked in a studio lot with only a chain-link fence protecting everyone, and one wonders why Monty feels the need to have an emergency police beacon under his desk "in case things get really crazy". On top of that, the building's foundation is extremely unstable, with an entire room falling through a sinkhole. Rooster Teeth's solution? Build another room on top of the first one in only half a month and ignore the issue completely. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: A lot of people avoided choosing the Gavins as the victims of the second episode as they assumed the writers would subvert this trope to make the mystery more difficult. Turns out they played it straight as the Gavins did indeed die second. Miles's death could have easily been avoided if he just placed his feet on the treadmill rails. This is extra jarring, since partway through his execution he even tries this, only to slip off of them and not re-attempt it again. | |

Metaphorically True | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_b8e38fc5 | comment |
Metaphorically True: The last two lines of the poem read "The killer was killed / And then there was one." Many interpreted this to mean that the killer predicted their own death at the hands of the sole survivor when they wrote the poem. Barbara actually meant that she wanted Ryan (the virtual "killer") to be framed for all the real murders, leaving her as the last one standing. It's Barbara that meets her demise in the end, however. | |

Glass-Shattering Sound: Barbara proposed to break the glass "cage" that Ryan's trapped in by playing her cat keyboard. Ryan immediately points out how stupid this idea is, to Barbara's ire. | |

Berserk Button: Burnie gets really angry when he learns Ryan doesn't watch Red vs. Blue. In the same conversation, Ryan gets a defied one; when Burnie calls him a "bad king", instead of getting mad like the buildup would have you think, Ryan just snarkily corrects him ("It's 'mad king'"). | |

Slasher Smile | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_bd4264a3 | comment |
Miles is easily the first to go this way in episode 2, gaining a Slasher Smile when he decides it's time to "put on The Suit". Episode 3 reveals that "The Suit" was the Ruby Rose costume. However, despite this, he is notably the only one to keep attempting outside communication so that the police will be summoned, which might make him more level-headed than his co-workers who hide, try to find the killer alone, or just write poetry during the crisis. | |

Everyone else makes dumb decisions, but at least keeps a sane mind overall. | |

Every Episode Ending: Each episode ends with a framed picture of that episode's murder victim, with the line of the poem that relates to their death on a plaque below the picture. The poll for each episode includes an image containing the portraits of all ten party guests. As the story continues, a portrait gets changed depending on who was murdered that episode, and the change in the portraits reflects the murder of the characters. For example, Burnie's portrait gets covered in scorpions, Chris' portrait is riddled with arrows etc. | |

Red Herring | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: In both the figurative and literal sense - one of the possible murder weapons is a literal red herring. The narration of the killer's poem shows different Roosters at each death clue, hinting that they will be the victim at that point since each plausibly fits the description. Gavin lampshades this when it's his turn, saying it can't be the same people they keep showing because that would be too obvious. Some initial suspicion is cast on Gus; he is conspicuously absent for episode 2 and claims to have been working the whole time in episode 3 yet seems highly secretive of what's on his computer screen. It turns out that he was just writing poetry the whole time and he gets offed in episode 5, confirming that this lead was false. In episode 5, Ryan is found trapped in the Edgar hole and, by episode six, he's slowly running out of air. As he apparently runs out, it cuts to his picture... which falls off as glass is heard breaking and Ryan ends up climbing out. The blue ringed octopus as a murder weapon - despite not being used to kill the victim in episode 6, it was accepted as a correct answer in the poll leading up to that episode because it worked so well as a red herring. In a way the prominence of RWBY merch and posters in the background could be seen as one by those people who thought it hinted towards Miles (who has been wearing the Ruby Rose costume since Episode 3) being the Sole Survivor. Of the list of murder weapons, only the actual red herring, bathroom scale, the power of math, the Crescent Rose Scythe, and a slow-motion explosion were not used, mentioned or alluded to in some form. According to the journals Josh posted after the series ended, Miles turned out to be the biggest Red Herring of the entire series as most of his possible deaths listed in the poem could actually work around certain things connected to him. | |

Artistic License: The weapon of murder in episode 2. The murder of the Gavins shouldn't be as gory as it is considering the murder weapon (mousetraps), yet they're left as a bloody mess at the end of the episode. The manner of death in episode 4 falls under this too. Scorpion stings do not kill in less than 5 seconds, as the venom is a neurotoxin that paralyzes its victim until it cannot breathe and asphyxiates. Similar to episode 2, the death in episode 7. Lindsay gets torn up into ludicrous gibs in a matter of seconds, which is not how pumas or other big cats kill prey or consume it. | |

"Psycho" Strings | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_e5b75009 | comment |
Adam's is more subtle than any of the above, but it's there. Initially, he's really confident and gung-ho about stopping the killer himself, but after finding his emergency bow-and-arrows stolen and seeing the Gavins' death, he loses all composure and spends all his time hiding. As more and more Roosters start dying, his hiding strategy devolves into wearing dark clothing and pressing himself flat against dark walls "like a mollusk". He also starts wearing noise-cancelling headphones to drown out any scary background music he might hear. | |

Burnie, jerkass though he may be, comes the closest to playing this trope straight, considering he's actually an undercover cop. He's actually presented as the only credible threat to the killer. This makes the ease of his murder even more surprising, failing to notice a conveniently placed scorpion on his desk. | |

In the same conversation, Ryan gets a defied one; when Burnie calls him a "bad king", instead of getting mad like the buildup would have you think, Ryan just snarkily corrects him ("It's 'mad king'"). | |

No More for Me | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_ed07a226 | comment |
No More for Me: After Ryan starts hallucinating a Creeper-person slapping the shit out of him then exploding on the ground, revealing his face, he looks at his can of Diet Coke, visibly disturbed. Not a moment later he passes out too. After this whole ordeal and getting trapped in a hole in the following episode, Ryan says it'll be the last time he'll drink Diet Coke... for that day at least. | |

Mind over Matter: Ryan seems to think he's developed telekinesis after questioning his involvement in the deaths of Michael and the Gavins. | |

IncrediblyLamePun | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_f2877d9e | comment |
Incredibly Lame Pun: The final murder is "One Died of a Pun." The victim is killed by being glued to a treadmill and forced to run until exhaustion, unable to go the extra Mile...s. | |

Together in Death | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: The show's creators said that whatever happens to Gavin must happen to his clone as well - if one gets murdered, then the other one must die in the exact same way at the same time. This happens to be their fate in episode 2. | |

Detect Evil | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_f88bba7c | comment |
Detect Evil: Chris' version of the sword Sting glows blue in the presence of the murderer rather than Orcs. Before he can test this on anyyone, the lights go out and he wakes up separated from everyone else. It does serve as an Imminent Danger Clue for him later though. | |

| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_f909b16b | comment |
Dark Secret: Everybody has blood on their hands from the past, as Michael reveals. No wonder there's ten Roosters, apparently half the company has been killing the other half off! | |

Kindhearted Cat Lover | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_f9741356 | comment |
Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Both Barbara and Lindsay, just like their real life selves. Barbara keeps a "cat keyboard" on her at all times and Lindsay expresses the wish for a cat in episode 2. This foreshadows Lindsay's ironic death when she is mauled by a puma in episode 7. | |

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed) | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_f97df10b | comment |
The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): Cop!Burnie was trying to track the killer down even before the dinner party and it seems that with his training, he's the most qualified to take the killer out. All his experience, preparation, and weaponry don't save him when a scorpion stings him. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Ten Little Roosters (Web Video) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: When Adam tries to ask Miles what's up with his outfit (meaning: why is he dressed up as Ruby Rose?), Miles responds that he took off his shoes so that the murderer wouldn't hear his footsteps. Before Adam can clarify what he meant, Miles gets distracted by a "Eureka!" Moment. | |

Brick Joke: In the first episode, Chris quote J. R. R. Tolkien whilst Gus quotes himself calling Chris a nerd. Fast forward to the finale, and the same Tolkien quote is shown after the credits, as well as Gus' made up quote. | |
