|''[[The Order of the Stick]]''}}

{{quote|'''Robin''': I pulled the drama tag, so we now get backstories, we get fleshed out personalities and become ''real people''.
'''Amber''': You're not making any sense. You're saying that pulling this thing you made up [[Retcon|retroactively changed my past]]? 
'''Amber''': You're saying that solely because you did some imaginary thing, my earlier life ''rewrote'' itself to force me through a history of [[Dark and Troubled Past|domestic abuse and violent relocation]]. 
'''Robin''': Maybe. 
'''Amber''': ''[Punches Robin]''|''[[Shortpacked]]'' }}

{{quote|''Toy Story'': A couple of toys get lost and then found. The only folks who cry are the animators who make 2D films as they watch their future crumble.
''Toy Story 2'': We watch as a toy is abandoned by her beloved owner and we get to see her heart shattered during a Sarah McLaughlin ballad. Tears flow like rain.
''Toy Story 3'': All our heroes learn that everything they love will eventually leave them behind. The demand for antidepressants for preschoolers skyrockets.
''Toy Story 4'': Woody is stabbed by a gang of rogue toys only to discover that his voice box has cancer. His death is very painful, it lasts 90 minutes, and Pixar '''shows the whole thing'''.

{{quote|'''Virus''': Never turn a funny comic into a serious epic drama. We have a murder-suicide pact that says if we ever turn into a drama, we're going to end it all rather than inflict that on the world.
'''Eastwood''': No, I said I was going to murder the rest of you, change my name and spend the rest of my days as a painter in Brazil.|[[Word of God|The authors of]] ''[[Exterminatus Now]]''}}


{{quote|Seriously, I'd make an effort to get out. The drama tag you pulled? We're looking at a limited lifespan here. Sure, it's manageable now, but soon you'll have ''[[Backstory|backstories]]'' and [[Love Triangle|love triangles]] and then love ''[[Love Dodecahedron|pentagons]]'' and then super-horrible secrets are revealed that change things forever... this store will end up so miserably ''[[Emo]]'' that no sane being will be able to stand it. Everyone will just ''leave''.|'''{{spoiler|Head Alien}}''', ''[[Shortpacked]]''}}

{{quote|Quit whispering in my ear, Cerberus!|[[Word of God|The author]] [https://twitter.com/#!/dantheshive/status/60474458619658240 of] ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''}}

{{quote|"''At first, the comic was filled with silly one-shot stories and goofy jokes, but later on, all that fell by the wayside as a stronger and much more compelling storyline over took the series.''"|'''[[The Irate Gamer]]''' summing up the trope when talking about ''[[Kinnikuman]]''.}}
