* [[Bilingual Backfire]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20160305030439/http://www.bitemecomic.com/?p=526 Seen here], as Luther's habit of insulting people in High German backfires, when it turns out Claire (of all people) speaks the language.
* [[Book Ends]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130521010633/http://www.bitemecomic.com/?p=429 Vive la] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130521055743/http://www.bitemecomic.com/?p=574 revolution!]
* [[Fur Against Fang]]: Averted, since Luther is a good friend of some of the vampires. However, in terms of personal style/appearance, the comic plays the [[Slobs Versus Snobs]] of werewolves and vampires pretty straight.
* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: For [https://web.archive.org/web/20140219185809/http://www.bitemecomic.com/?p=511 beheading], many of which are actually historical.
* [[Innocent Innuendo]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20160307005148/http://www.bitemecomic.com/?p=535 Lucien uses his sword].
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: {{spoiler|Claire becomes a vampire pretty early into the comic.}} Also, reading ''[[Family Man]]'' after this kind of spoils that series. While that is [[Alternate Continuity]], you'd know immediately that Lucien is a vampire and not just a guy who happens to be [[Animals Hate Him|disliked by dogs]] and who avoids sunlight.
* [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Supplies the page quote for that trope. Becoming a vampire made Lucien gain a [[Skunk Stripe]] and made Audric's hair turn completely white. Audric claims that pre-vampirization, Ginevra was a man, but he turns out to be just joking.
Line 15:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Claire is a lot smarter than she looks.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: They're Stoker vampires with all of the classic weaknesses and even lack some of the strengths (while they can do a [[Charm Person]], it's not shown whether or not they have a shapeshifting abilities).
* [[Parody Sue]]: The reveal of Claire's backstory [https://web.archive.org/web/20130619094156/http://www.bitemecomic.com/?p=571 here] probably makes her this.
* [[The Reveal Prompts Romance]]: Lucien's reaction to Claire's backstory seems to be this.
* [[Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness]]: While played for laughs, the vampires here are probably pretty low on the scale. They are explicitly described as/describe themselves as servants of Satan and need blood to survive (although they probably don't always need to kill victims).
