  • How do you make an omnipotent wizard go "What."? You Dual Wield long bows, and then you dual wield the dual wield
  • Black Mage's Evilness. When the representation of all of your sins is yourself, because nothing else was quite up to the task, and even yet you manage to be even WORSE than it, and EAT IT... Let's just say that Black Mage didn't jump over the Moral Event Horizon, oh no. He IS the Moral Event Horizon.
    • The extent of Black Mage's evil was shown even earlier while talking to his shoulder angels. His "angel" was an amoral jackass while his "devil" was an Omnicidal Maniac wanting constant killing and destruction.
  • Also, Thief steals his own class change. From the future. At the worst moment possible, to boot.
  • Fighter uses this trope to prevent the Light Warriors from dying after a long fall. How? He blocked the ground with his sword.

    • Taking about Act 5, the flash animations crashed both newgrounds AND megaupload in less than 10 minutes. For reference, the flash in question is about 15 minutes long. That's right, people didn't even get to the end of the flash before they managed to break both of those sites.
  • Cans can punch people through time.
  • the Autoresponder doesn't show off just by reciting pi to an excessive number of digits, but by claiming to have calculated the final digit of pi (four, apparently). This is obviously impossible (pi is an irrational number that has no end) and he's only saying it to screw with Dirk, as Dirk rightly points out.
• Bittersweet Candy Bowl "SUPERRRR PANELLLL TELEPORT!" David was surprised it worked.

• Girls Next Door uses this trope to explain why Chihiro is the unofficial president of the Wibsy (Weirdo Boyfrend & Supernatural Stalker club): using Christine words "It's hard to trump dating a river." The others have at least human-shaped (a fae, a ghost and a vampire amongst others. Christine with her murderous deformed psycho is the most normal of them all.) boyfriends/stalkers, so this is impossible by their standards. in her defense the river was in the form of a human boy that looked her age at the time she fell for him.
• Talerdo can travel Planeta Absurdo by violating time-space laws and travel long distances with only one step because he has No Sense of Direction.
