Tiradesverse tropes[]
- Protagonists? - Everyone. No, seriously. EVERYONE.
- Edited at gunpoint
- Courtneys - Everyone except Rod and Nathalie, although an argument could made for those two, as well
- Plot Armor - One of the most extreme examples ever seen, the plot almost seems to be willing Rod and Nathalie to stay alive by granting them new and exciting equipment and tools out of absolutely nowhere in their van, despite never previously being seen before they are shown in their respective moments.
- MacGuffin Disease - The condition that causes the birds to attack
- Established establishing - Endless driving scenes
- Random sex scene - Rod and Nathalie (disputed, as both of them woke up fully clothed)
- Casio Keyboard
- Cheeky shenanigans - The first half of the movie, up until the birds first attack
- Exposition fairy - Dr. Jones
- Exposition Network
- Nonsensical Title - Does this even need to be explained?
- Bullseye Bullshit - An underwear model and a salesman are able to shoot demented killer birds hovering around...with pistols...from inside a car
- Brick Wall Ending - The birds meet a bunch of other birds and fly off while the cast (and the audience) stare on, dumbfounded.
- Instant Love - Rod and Nathalie fall in love despite Rod having the personality of a stale doughnut.
