Line 1:

Line 37:

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Billy.

* [[Fan Service]]: As a rule, competitors in the game are required to play in their underwear, regardless of gender. Some women opt to wear an apron over them, but modesty has no place on the field.

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Skip's is [[Greed]]. He's [[Only in It For ~~The~~ Money]] and has lost the sense of fun in playing the game. What humanizes him most is that he's entirely aware of it and fighting with regret about it.

* [[Filler Strips]]: He tends to do a lot of non-story comics. He also gained much attention by making a [http://www.pvponline.com/2009/12/30/guest-strip-by-tyson-heese/ guest strip] for [[PvP]].

Line 52:

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: A player's "stick" can be any kind of blunt object. Cue players using boards, boxing gloves, rainsticks, wooden swords, and paddles.

* [[Innocently Insensitive]]: Rittz, following along with the gay jokes about Chuck. He apparently thought they were making fun of him for having red hair the whole time.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Skip. He [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=9 punches Rittz in the face] [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=43 out of habit], and most of the time acts like doesn't care about the [[The Ditz|idiot]], but it turns out that Skip and Rittz have [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=150 been each other's only friends] [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=151 for years.] Plus, he [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=164 bought Rittz burgers.] He can't be all bad.

** In some ways, that's also evident of Skip being a [[Jerkass Woobie]].

** The coach qualifies. He punches a stewardess in the face for telling him not to light up on the plane and brushes it off when everyone thinks he got one of his players killed doing it. However, he does care for (the rest of) his team and sees (most of) them as a surrogate family.

Line 73:

** The section 'Proud of Their Boy' reads "I'm only making all this up because I know there's SOMEONE who's going to go looking for something to read here. Well, are you happy? Did you get what you want? I HOPE YOU DIE!"

** Last section reads "And that's when I knew I had to kill her. True, she did nothing wrong, but the VOICES. THE VOICES TOLD ME TO. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES BILLY A DULL BOY."
