Line 2:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Part of the point, the protagonist is fighting for the "Bad" Guys, and the "Good" guys are willing to stoop even lower than Stanley to win. And Stanley stoops ''low''.
* [[Base Breaker]]: The fandom is divided on whether Jillian is a full-out [[Mary Sue]], or merely an annoying git.
* [[Brain Bleach]]: Erfworld.com's 404 page. [http://www.erfworld.com/%27\]{{Dead link}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|Wanda}} is sprinting towards this hard and fast, while {{spoiler|Parson}} is trying to get as far away from this as possible.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Parson. His "lateral thinking" approach to Erfworld has resulted in such awesome absurdities as:
Line 16:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "I can taste key lime pie."
* [[Mind Game Ship]]: The interactions between Wanda and Jillian have traces of this.
* [[Rooting for Thethe Empire]]: Unusual in that it seems ''deliberate'' by the creator, but Stanley's team is usually cast in a more favorable light than the Royal Crown Coalition. Consequently, a quick look at the forums will show fans cheering whenever Parson's plans succeed and booing whenever Ansom has some success. This is primarily because all factions are equally unlikable, and Parson is the protagonist.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Jillian seems to attract a ''lot'' of vitriol from some corners of the fandom.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Jillian and Vinny's reaction to Ansom's death. "Hey, you're the only one grievin' right now, right? Right?! IZZAT WHAT YOU THINK?"
Line 22:
** A subtle one, but poignant when one takes the Summer Updates into account: in the most recent update (as of 3/6/11) a portrait of a lady we have not seen before is visible over Don King's shoulder. Instead of being an obvious [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Transilvitian]], however, she has red hair, skin that isn't grey, and dresses in orange as opposed to the normal monochrome of Transylvito. Conclusion? [[Fridge Brilliance|This was Queen Bea of Unaroyal, a close friend of Don's who disbanded herself and her entire side when Wanda beat down the door.]] This is in a panel where Don tries to convince his Moneymancer accountant to be true to her ideals in vain.
** King Slately asking Don King for a loan so he can make Tramennis his heir.
*** And Don, [[http://www.erfworld.com/2011/04/book-2-<!-- E280%E2%80%93-page-59/ preparing]] to break the news that he can't indulge his old friend's last request. -->
**** Bunny's heartbroken face at seeing the Don and Caesar at odds a few panels before only adds to it.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: In-world: many aspects of day-to-day life in Erfworld don't sit well with Parson.
