Bad Boss | |
| Troopers (Web Video) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Dread Lord Sinister will kill his minions for the slightest reason, reasons vary from mistaking a mash potato manikin for a prisoner, to him simply not liking anyone's suggestions... or someone just not giving a suggestion. Exaggerated in "Death By Space", where he tricks multiple people into killing themselves since he thinks it to be more expedient than to just deal with them normally. First he sends his surviving wounded(and, keep in mind, victorious) elite troopers to the infirmary, only for it to lead to space. Then he sends the sceptical and questioning General of the troops to the Impartial Investigation Committee, only for it to lead to space. Then he tries to send the builder of these 71 mismarked doors to Accounts Payable, though since he built them the builder knows that is a mismarked door to space. So he gives him his payment in gift tokens and sends him to the Gift Shop... which is a room that turns people inside-out and was built by the builder's brother. Then he sends the brother to Accounts Payable, who falls for it since he doesn't know about the doors, only for it to lead to space. Then one trooper raises concern about the rumours of Dread Lord Sinister doing this, so to calm him down he sends that trooper to the Spa... which is an actual spa. Then, while relaxing, the trooper goes to the private bathroom of the Spa and that sends him to space. Though it turns out that the Spa trap was unintentional, as the builder refused to finish it until Dread Lord told him what happened to his brothers. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Troopers (Web Video) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Rich and Larry: The princess escapes in almost every episode she appears in when Rich and Larry are tasked with guarding her. Rich removes the handcuffs of an alien lizardman (who's been imprisoned for rape) thinking he's friendly. It goes as well as you imagine. A prisoner escaped under Larry's watch and placed a dummy in his place. It took three months before Lord Sinister got wind of this. Rich opens the door for Insurgency troops to storm-in thinking it was the pizza delivery guy knocking. | |

Mile-Long Ship | |
| Troopers (Web Video) / int_e26c3c72 | comment |
Mile-Long Ship: Spoofed in "Coffee Run", where Dread Lord Sinister keeps constantly sending one of his Dread Troopers back and forth for coffee from a coffee shop on the other end of the Dread Cruiser, forgetting that the Dread Cruiser is the size of a small planet. Each coffee run takes three days. By the time Dread Lord Sinister finally gets his coffee, he's either forgotten that he asked for it in the first place, it has become cold/not fresh, or he's got a craving for something else from the same place. Exaggerated in Troopes vs. Teleporter, where the Dread Crusier's size is mentioned as being so large it takes weeks to get there and back. | |

Laser Blade: Lord Sinister is all excited because he received his brand new laser sword... Except it doesn't come with a fusion core, so it has to be plugged to an electric outlet with a power cord. On the upside, it can change the blade's color on the fly, the blade's length can be adjusted if needed, has various blade shapes and can inflict various effect (such as cancer or kill ghosts). | |
