{{quote|'''NK''': This is the queen.

'''Splashmaster''': So?~~ ~~

'''Splashmaster''': So?

'''NK''': '''So''', this isn't the princess. They're ''two different people.'' Surely even [[The Ditz|''you'']] can grasp this concept.

'''Splashmaster''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|But queen just older fatter princess!]] }}

Line 62:

* [[Idiot Ball]]: {{spoiler|Time will tell if Almond's decision to simply ''hand over the last Disaster Stone because she feels the quest wouldn't be epic enough if they didn't'' will be this or simply the [[Functional Genre Savvy|usual genre enforcement of the world]]. Or both.}}

* [[Insistent Terminology]]:

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"|It Is Pronounced Peri-DOH]]

* [[It's Up to You]]: As much as Cucumber attempts to avert this, no one will let him off the hook about this world-saving business.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]:

{{quote| ''[[Word of God|Well…the people of Dreamside have television, electric lighting and space travel, but they’re still fighting with swords.

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: "Puffington's Academy for the Magically Gifted and/or Incredibly Wealthy" would imply that to get in you need either magical skill or enough money for lack of skill to not matter.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]:

Line 110:

* [[Unusual Ears]]: The Dream Oracle's resemble membranous wings.

* [[Vague Age]]: [[Word of God]] on Cucumber's and Almond's ages:

{{quote| ''Cucumber and Almond are just Kids. Almond is a Slightly Younger Kid.''}}

{{quote|''Cucumber and Almond are just Kids. Almond is a Slightly Younger Kid.''}}

** We at least know that Cucumber is not 9. Because that's how old his father thinks he is.

* [[Valley Girl]]: Lettuce. [[Word of God|There's, like, something irritating about the way she talks.]]

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Baguette has a tic, man. Tartelette does too, hon. Lettuce, like, probably counts, too.

* [[Verbal Backspace]]: Cucumber does an impressive one while being introduced to Princess Nautilus:

{{quote| '''Cucumber:''' Oh, or how about I call you [[Innocent Innuendo|Nautie]] for sh--

{{quote|'''Cucumber:''' Oh, or how about I call you [[Innocent Innuendo|Nautie]] for sh--

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Tomato threatens Almond, saying he has no qualms about hitting a girl. [[Badass Adorable|Almond never gives him the chance]].

* [[You Can't Thwart Stage One]]: Cuco would very much like to avert this trope by preventing the Nightmare Knight's summoning, but the enemy--and even some of his ''allies''--are determined to have it played straight.
