Line 47:
* [[Brick Joke]]: In the annotation of [http://irregularwebcomic.net/1324.html strip 1324]: " {{spoiler|In fact, Loren is a Martian.}} This will be revealed in strip #1500." Sure enough, [http://irregularwebcomic.net/1500.html strip 1500].
* [[Book Ends]]: The final panel (other than guest strips and "The End") is a reshoot of the very first panel.
* [[
* [[Color
* [[Crisis Crossover]]: [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/comic.php?current=2161&dir=next5 at the end of 2008], {{spoiler|the universe imploded due to [[Temporal Paradox|temporal paradoxes]] ocurring [[Meanwhile in The Future|simultaneously]] in most of the themes. The characters all ended up at the Infinite Featureless Plane of Death, but eventually managed to get their respective continuities [[Continuity Reboot|rebooted]]}}.
** Although they might not have gotten it completely right... {{spoiler|Nazis run the world.}}
Line 56:
* [[Death Takes a Holiday]]: The Deaths going on strike.
* [[Deconstructor Fleet]]
* [[Deep
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Quercus from the Space theme is currently this.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Wrestle out Cthulhu, technically. Steve also wrestled to death {{spoiler|Death of Being Wrestled to Death by Steve when he showed up to collect the soul, which caused its own problems.}} That introduced the {{spoiler|Paradox Department, which is run by a giant frog.}} He has ''also'' wrestled a [[Lord of the Rings|Balrog]] to death. Without even getting any burns.
* [[Done a George Lucas]]: Redirect Namer (with kind permission from Dr. Morgan-Mar), referencing his adding missing sound effects to a podcast.
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: This is the comic that averts this rule so hard and fast that you'd never know it existed. If there is any chance that a [[Viewers Are Geniuses|non-genius in the audience]] will not get the joke, it will be explained, in great detail. Not only are the explanations incredibly interesting in their own right but they often make the actual joke ''funnier''. [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2414.html This comic's] annotation brings explaining the joke [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 66:
* [[Eighties Hair]]: In flashbacks to [[Myth Busters|Jamie and Adam]] in college.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: [[HP Lovecraft|Cthulhu]] (in the form of a Lego octopus mounted on a tyrannosaurus miniature) is a recurring character, and often gets wrestled by Steve.
* [[
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Drakk. Justified because the structure of his mouth and throat makes it very difficult to speak English.
* [[Built With Lego|Everything's Built with LEGO]]: With the exception of Space and Fantasy themes, which use RPG figures, and Supers, which is drawn.
Line 73:
** DMM didn't originally intend to post every day, but had too many ideas not to. The strip has missed just two days since April 2003.
** Fully averted as of October 2011. It's now neither irregular nor a webcomic.
*** This makes it a [[Non
* [[Excited Show Title]]: Because it wouldn't be the same without the exclamation point!
* [[Expospeak Gag]]: "[[Bob the Angry Flower|Robert the Infuriated Inflorescence]]"
Line 99:
* [[It Will Never Catch On]]: The "Imperial Rome" theme.
* [[I Was Quite a Fashion Victim]]
* [[Kill
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Lampshades lampshading, twice. Sometimes in later strips the [[Lampshade Hanging]] takes the form of a link to this wiki.
* [[Land Down Under]]: See also [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]].
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Head Death is the only Death to wear a non-black cape. It's blue.
* [[Look Both Ways]]
Line 121:
* [[Plant Aliens]]: Quercus
* [[Plot Tailored to The Party]]: Played with in the "Supers" theme.
* [[Pre
* [[Public Domain Character]]: Several, including Hitler, Shakespeare and Cthulhu.
* [[Punny Name]]: Loren Ipsum.
Line 133:
* [[Signed Up for The Dental]]
* [[Single Biome Planet]]: Lampshaded.
* [[Single
* [[Shakespeare in Fiction]]: A modern version, who writes ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]'' [[Fanfic|fanfics]]. He likes self-inserts, which means there's also Shakespeare in Fiction in Fiction. Provided it's canon in both storylines, {{spoiler|Will was kicked out of the [[Doctor Who (TV)|TARDIS]] by the scientists in the Scientific Revolution storyline as they were gathering scientists after it was pointed out Will wasn't a scientist. He was kicked out around 1990 because they didn't have time to take him back to the 1500s.}}
* [[Splash Panel]]: [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1455.html Here] and [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1497.html there]. .
* [[Stable Time Loop]] Unstable Time Loop]]: Occurs in almost every theme, often [[Subverted Trope|subverted]]. Of note is the time {{spoiler|Serron and Iki Piki's future selves attempt to bust them out of jail. It fails. Their past selves ultimately get their organs stolen, so they end up stealing the organs from their future selves.}} Then...
** [[Timey
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Though only very rarely.
* [[Strip Buffer]]
Line 151:
* [[Too Soon]]: The "Steve and Terry" theme got a bit of flack when the real Steve Irwin died, though the fact that Steve woke up in the hospital from a serious injury when Steve Irwin died was entirely accidental, thanks to the miracle of comic buffers. He even apologized for the mix-up in the blurb.
* [[TV Tropes]]: [[The Rant]] frequently includes links to this very wiki, best summed up in [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1929.html this one-liner]: "It's really good when I can just [[A Wizard Did It|link to TV Tropes]], because then I know you'll have hours of reading without me having to do anything else."
* [[
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting|Two]] ''[[Serial Escalation|Dozen]]'' [[Two Lines, No Waiting|Lines No Waiting]]
* [[Unnecessarily Large Interior]]: The [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1455.html Hall of Dworin].
* [[Unsound Effect]]:
Line 163:
** Has [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/3160.html long since] gone well past the [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/3000.html 3000] mark.
* [[Webcomic Time]]: Lampshaded, complete with link to the [[TV Tropes]] page in [[The Rant]].
* [[We Come in Peace, Shoot To Kill]]: The invading Martians in the theme of the same name.
* [[Weird Trade Union]]: Deaths on strike. {{spoiler|Which was eventually broken.}}
* [[Writer On Board]]: The Shakespeare theme started out as a one shot railing against the culture-deadening evils of Microsoft PowerPoint, though it moved away from this quickly.
