This will make absolutely no sense to anyone but myself.

What if our homemade Bat Mitzvah movie (Officially known as "Sibling Wars/Everyone Has a Little Sister", mentioned last month in the 361st post), had a TVTropes entry? Let me find out. You can all ignore this and stare at the lovely nonexistent wallpaper.

• Acting For Two: Y. plays both himself and Agent J.A.C.O.B., who interviews him at one point. This leads to a double listing in the credits.
  * M. is himself and the Bum.
  * S. is also the car's driver, as well as doing the voiceover for Agent J.A.C.O.B.'s superior and the "Bum Review" introduction.
• All Girls Love Ponies: True fact!
• Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The "Bum Review" was tacked on to the end as nothing more than a private in-joke, and will make no sense to those who don't know of the original.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: Y.. Oh so very, very much.
• Crazy Homeless Person: The Bum.
• Creative Closing Credits
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: "Let's make a new deal."
  * S. directed, shot and edited the footage almost entirely on his own in under a month.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: "Catch the rubber ducky!"
  * The footage for Y.'s second credit, the lone remnant of a scrapped blooper reel.
  * Let's face it, Y. himself is pretty much a walking CMOF.
  * "Expelliarmus!"
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The answers to the final question, and Agent J.A.C.O.B.'s epilogue narration.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The Jason Bourne theme plays over the end credits.
• Evil Laugh: S.. Quite terrifying, actually.
• Expy: The "Bum Review".
• Fun With Acronyms/Meaningful Name: Agent J.A.C.O.B., referring to his real name.
• Heavy Sleeper: E..
• I Just Shot Marvin In The Face: Testing your magic wand while pointing it at yourself isn't the brightest of ideas.
• Narm Charm: Four brothers get together and decide to film a silly, often incoherent skit for their sister's Bat Mitzvah? What's not to like?
• Recycled Soundtrack: Snippets from the theme tunes of Mission Impossible, The Pink Panther, and Harry Potter are used as background music.
• Rule Of Funny: Many of the answers.
• Running Gag: E. really likes sleeping.
• Shout Out: The Title Sequence painstakingly mimics that of The Phantom Menace.
  * For no reason at all, the characters begin referencing Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End:
  Y: What are you doing?
  S: What are you doing??
  Y: What are you doing??
  S: What are you doing???
  Y: No, what aarrre you doing?????
• Take That Me: Everybody play Flanderizations of themselves to one degree or another. Basically the whole point of the movie really.
• The Voice: Agent J.A.C.O.B.'s superior. Also a Large Ham.
• Trigger Happy/Disproportionate Retribution: S.'s response when someone interrupts his reading is to try to perform the Avada Kedavra spell. Then again, it seems to be his default spell anyway...
