Girls with Slingshots/YMMV


 * Designated Hero: Hazel.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Every strip featuring Hazel and Zach's Will They or Won't They? scenario and the moment They Do is this, considering how their relationship is going to turn sour in later arcs.
 * Ho Yay: Jamie and... pretty much everyone female.
 * Jerk Sue : The author probably aims at Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but Hazel has progressively more and more of Jerk traits, and little to no Heart at all. Her relationship is based - on her part - solely on sex, she constantly fails to offer any support, feeling or pretty much anything to her friends and boyfriend other than the sight of her being drunk. And still she has all these people who care for her, the perfect Wish Fulfillment boyfriend and happy coincidences to help her pull through. As the comic progresses, the number of times other characters say out loud how they are friends and care for her increases greatly, too.
 * She moved out of this when Zach broke up with her because of her irresponsibility and selfishness, but then became this again when she out of nowhere gets offered a book deal.
 * Jamie does have traces of this, but it's usually hidden behind her adorable bubbliness, and it's usually aimed at Hazel, which is seen as acceptable.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Candy, twice, first with her attempted rape of Chris, and then later when she attempts to sabotage Jameson and Maureen's wedding. Thankfully, she gets epically put in her place in the second one.
 * The Scrappy: The webcomic would be hell of a lot more enjoyable with its Ensemble Cast if not for its protagonist Hazel. She probably aims to Jerk with a Heart of Gold Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist, but she fails at that miserably, and comes off as a dull, boring and unlikeable bitch who hogs the spotlight for much more sympathetic and likable characters.
 * Candy. This is even In-Universe too, with few, if any, characters liking her.
 * Take That, Scrappy!: While portrayed as sad in he webcomic, Zach breaking up with Hazel after getting fed up of her immature bullshit was met with cheers by many readers. It could also count as an Author's Saving Throw.
 * Candy getting put in her place after crossing the Moral Event Horizon in Maureen and Jameson's wedding. Hell. Yes.
 * Unintentionally Sympathetic: Jim, Corsetto intended to portray him as a hypocritical Dogged Nice Guy, claiming so on one of her tweets; unfortunately the scenes that resulted from her "research" put him next to Chris who was just bragging about getting laid, painting him as a loser to whom is ok to brag that you are getting what he is not, and if that was not enough, when Jim snaps for this he is then portrayed by other guys as making the false dichotomy that since a Nice Guy can't get laid then all guys who do must be Jerkasses.
 * Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Hazel, Hazel, Hazel. The author deliberately wrote her as a flawed character to make her more relatable, but she just comes off as borderline unlikeable.
 * The Woobie: Thea. Loses her job: check. Sister has cancer: check. Girl she's taken with uses her for sex and exposes her to an STD: check. And if that wasn't enough, she has a chalk board tally of girls she has turned straight.
 * Thankfully, things went up when she met Genki Girl Mimi, and it just got better from there.
