* [[Expy]]: Okay, not really, because ''Building 12'' came ''first'', but Alex and [[Misfile|Ash]] are extremely similar. The former is a girl who [[Bifauxnen|dresses as a guy]], and tries to hold back her feelings in order to keep up [[The Masquerade]] (at which point Joe suggests that they could be gay); the latter a [[Gender Bender|former guy]] with issues about carrying on a relationship with "another" girl (okay, ''she'' doesn?'t have a problem with it, but still), and they look a lot alike. |

* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: Demons, aliens, mad scientists, zombies, and military nuts--and those are just the villains. On the heroic side, we have ''another'' military nut, ''another'' mad scientist, a witch, and a girl who can punch through walls. |

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Even before [[The Reveal]], Joe had his suspicions that Alex was a girl, and after the reveal, Hazelton doesn't even bother drawing her flat enough to fool anyone (though still far flatter than she actually is). Somehow, no one else figures it out. |

* [[Perky Female Minion]]: Slauf/Slough's gender is indeterminate, but it ''does'' play the part of "Mommy" to Tia on Parent's Day, and this troper figures that an animated version would be quite reminiscent of [[Invader Zim|GIR]], only not quite as high-pitched, probably sounding more like [[Star Wars |
