* [[Webcomic Time]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003549 An anniversary update page] made it clear that not even a day has passed since the beginning of the comic. It's still April 13th. Although 13 days later than April 1st is April 14th. Which would fit with the first pesterlog occurring at 4.13PM in John's timezone, and the approximate number of hours between then and Dave's medium entry... [[Webcomic Time]] still definitely applies though.

** The Trolls to a lesser extent, as we are treated to 25 days' worth of events over the course of 3 months.

Line 72:

** What happened to the Troll session's White Queen? All we know is her ring was destroyed.

* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love|What Is This Thing You Call Friendship]]

** Trolls consider friendship a disease. They also use the same word for "friend" as "enemy."

*** Which leads inevitably to the question of how seriously one should take that statement, since it was said in a conversation between two trolls; if we assume that the statement is true, then it couldn't have been made in the first place because trolls wouldn't understand the distinction.

* [[Where It All Began]]: After the Scratch, the story is visibly shown rewinding, back to the first panel of John's introduction, and then a fade to white. No surprise, considering [[Reset Button|the nature of the Scratch]]. The beginning of the next Act is then very similar to Act 1, with the first panel extremely similar to John's introduction.

* [[Which Me]]: As lampshaded by Rose & Dave...

* [[While Rome Burns]]: While the city is being destroyed by a meteor shower, Dave and his bro head up to the roof of their high rise to have an epic showdown for no apparent reason beyond [[Rule of Cool]]. Still, given how [[Genre Savvy]] they are, and their love of irony, they're probably aware of it. Earlier, Rose plays a haunting violin refrain during the countdown to the destruction of John's house. The game sarcastically compliments the player's time management skills. Dave also seems perfectly fine continuing to update his web comic, even though shit is getting pretty damn real, and the fact that the Internet is basically gone.

** Almost everybody who is faced with a countdown timer at any point wastes some of that countdown doing something silly, but the all-time, unsurpassable king-- no you ''hate kings'' --'''mayor''' of this trope is Wayward Vagabond, who wastes ''four hours'' playing with his cans during a countdown and then scrambles around with the fear of death in him during the last [[Arc Number|four minutes and thirteen seconds]].

Line 132:

* [[You Taste Delicious]]: While we haven't seen her doing any actual licking of the characters (since the vast majority of the character interactions are through an instant messaging system), Terezi makes quite a few references to this. However, it's later subverted when we find out she's actually blind, and uses taste and smell to "see" colors. She describes a handful of the other trolls' blood as tasting/smelling like some sort of food. Examples include chocolate (Tavros), mustard (Sollux; his eyes are "appleberry blast"), grape jelly (Gamzee) and cherry (Karkat).

* [[Your Approval Fills Me With Shame]]: Jake praising his ''"friend"'' Jane's advice on his [[UST]] with Dirk.

* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: The afterlife is like this, with the user able to manipulate their dream bubbles to recall past events or conjure things at will.

* [[Your Normal Is Our Taboo]]: Buckets. Also, it's considered pretty bizarre for a troll to be raised by a member of his or her own species instead of a lusus. Inverted with the trolls wondering why incest and sexual preference is even a thing to humans.
