Tropes used in The Avengers Shouldn't Text include:

• Antiquated Linguistics: Thor.
• Beleaguered Assistant: poor Pepper.
• Cuteness Proximity: Thor loves bunnies.
• Deadpan Snarker: Tony, Pepper, Darcy, Loki, Clint and Natasha, quite a bit.
• Emoticon: Thor discovered how to make one for a whale. And a baby one. ("IT IS AN INFANT")
• Friendly Enemy: Everyone texts Loki like it's no big deal.
• Mundane Object Amazement: More like Mundane Object Confusion. Thor and Cap have trouble with various common objects and their uses.
• Noodle Implements: Used in response to a question of how Tony and Steve hooked up.

BUT, it’s really not a story for polite company…. It involves copious amounts of liquor, an I Love Lucy marathon, Goldfish crackers and a very creative use of caramel sauce.

• No Indoor Voice: Thor texts in ALL CAPS. According to Tony, trying to discourage from doing so is a bad idea.
• Unexplained Recovery: Bucky is inexplicably alive.
• Unusual Euphemism: As per Captain America: The First Avenger, the word "fondue" appears as one for 'sex' and now all the characters use it. Also "Apple Pie".
• Texting: All the conversations.
• The Unintelligible: Bucky, who apparently has trouble texting on his phone. The words are so mangled it's hard to read. Also apparently his phone keep auto-texting "Knives" and "Knifing" and "Fucking Tony Stark" in the place of other words.
• Yaoi Guys: Cap and Tony are together. It's actually pretty adorable.
