=== This webcomic contains examples of: ===

* [[A Date With Rosie Palms]]: Masturbation is treated a as a casual, fact of life topic.

* [[Accidental Unfortunate Gesture]]: Hazel and Jamie imagine how Chris the Pirate attempting ASL could [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-883/ go horribly wrong].

*** [[Word of God|"This is about as close to post-apocalyptic storyline as you're ever gonna get from me."]]

* [[Alt Text]]: Starts with [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-1054/ strip 1054.]

* [[Anything That Moves]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws689/ Zach's past].

* [[Art Evolution]]: Over time, the art style has become more stylized and loose.

* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: Hazel has "length" and "girth" requirements for a man.

* [[Bill Bill Junk Bill]]: With [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws436/ email].

* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Hazel.

* [[Brains and Bondage]]: Clarice, one of the more intelligent members of the cast, is a dominatrix. But she dreams of being a librarian.

* [[The Cutie]]: Jamie. Mimi makes a good case for herself too.

* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Hazel freaks that her comment was [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws243/ supposed to be "inner dialogue."]

* [[Dirty Old Woman]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws623/ Hazel's neighbor], who has ordered strippers and had to have her stomach pumped after a wild party.

* [[Disabled Love Interest]]: Chris and Melody, although it is played very well and the relationship is fleshed out and realistic.

* [[Dope Slap]]: Jameson [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws503/ gets one].

* [[Double Standard]]: Even though Candy tried to rape Chris, Jamie seems horrified at the idea of him [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws270/ macing a girl].

** Absolutely ''not'', despite what [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws268/ Jameson initially thinks]. Candy tries to rape Chris, and gets knocked off her [[Straw Feminist]] pedestal quickly by a cast that agrees that she is absolutely wrong. Which still hardly excuses an attempted rape being played for laughs. Even though after a good week's worth of jokes, the strip finally gets around to saying 'seriously kids, rape is wrong no matter what the victim's gender is' it's still jarring.

** A sequence where a female barber threatens to seduce Jameson, kidnaps him, and forcibly shaves him (smoking a cigarette afterward) is played entirely for laughs, probably because all she did was shave his hair, so it being played for laughs is excusable.

* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Hazel mistakes [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws696/ Jamie's girlfriend Erin] for a man named Aaron.

** Which makes panel three [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-1367/ here] something of a [[Brick Joke]].

* [[Gonk]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws864/ The Bearded Lady Fetishist that followed Darren home.]

* [[Halloween Cosplay]]: One year, the characters in-strip go the route of pop culture, dressing as [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws188/ Ghostbusters and Smurfs] at Halloween. The next year, all the female characters dress as each other. [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws355/ This ends about as well as one might expect.] [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-811/ The year after that], they dress as [[Memetic Mutation|internet phenomena]], including [[Rick Astley]], [[Homestar Runner]], Two Girls One Cup, and more.

* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Hazel has had to remind people of her hetero-ness more than once, especially in earlier strips when she isn't getting any.

* [[Hollywood Sex]]: Mostly averted, except [[Rule of Funny|when it's funny.]] One strip even has [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-1328/ Mimi explaining the ways lesbians protect themselves during sex.]

* [[Hot Librarian]]: Averted in Clarice, who tells everyone that she's a librarian when in reality, she is a porn-store clerk moonlighting as a dominatrix. She really does want to be a librarian, though.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: McPedro,the talking [[Scotireland|Scirish]] cactus. McPedro's mustache is, in turn, a [[Non-Human Sidekick]] himself, as he runs away from McPedro and [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws540/ travels the world.] And ''he's'' French. [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|And gay!]]

* [[The Nudifier]]: [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws770/ Lasers] that remove your clothes, and [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws774/ save them for later], used in playing [[Strip Poker|Strip Laser Tag]].

* [[One of the Boys]]: Hazel, to the point where she hangs out with the guys during the bachelor party and is repeatedly mentioned as actually being the guy in her relationship (including shallowness and refusal to think about the "future" beyond lovemaking).

** [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws459/ Tweeney Sodd], who eventually robs Jameson of his remaining tuft of hair.

** Melody, who is deaf.

* [[Scotireland]]: McPedro's accent is supposed to be Irish, but he speaks stereotypical Scottish.[[Fridge Brilliance|This may be due to his existence as a drunken delusion of Hazel's]], although he later points it out [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws331/ and refers to his accent as "Scirish."]

* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: Hazel can't seem to grasp that lesbian sex isn't limited to strap-ons.
