* [[Anvilicious]]: If you drink, ''join AA''. If you know, are related to, or brush someone on the street who drinks, ''make them join AA'' and join Al-Anon yourself.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Griffin, the British Jumper from the movie, everything he says & does is awesome & crazy & both. Lets see:
** He beat two Paladins to death with a baseball bat while they had futuristic stun-gun things.
** Took the body of one to his lair & talked to it while playing videogames (Throwing the controller at it when he looses).
** Steals a car & repeatedly jumps while driving, at one point driving in mid air.
** Goes into [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|super rampage]] mode when Roland taunts him about his dead parents, jumps so fast that he causes lots of destruction & punches Roland ''through a wall''.
** Attacks Roland with a flamethrower ''twice'', so much that Roland actually shows fear the second time, & would have put a ''Nuke'' through the jump scar to kill all of the Paladins & got into a super cool super powered fight to the death with Davy.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Griffin has the reputation to be far more popular than the main characters. His popularity resulted in a video game spinoff centered on him. Whether it's because he's such a [[Crazy Prepared]] Badass or because he's played by Jamie Bell or both is your choice.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]] (or maybe [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] if you're that sort): {{spoiler|Did he just... Drop a plane-hijacking terrorist from the World Trade Center...?}} Brr...
* [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]]: Davy and Millie get two good ones in the book. First, Davy confesses that his [[Loners Are Freaks|asocial nature]] is due to his horrific childhood and a {{spoiler|near-rape by a truck driver he hitchhiked with, followed by [[Their First Time]]}}. Then, when they reconcile after {{spoiler|his [[Broken Masquerade]], he explains all about his Jumping and how his mother was killed by terrorists. She decides to rekindle their relationship.}}
** They get one truly amazing one at the book's very end; {{spoiler|Davy admits that his [[Calling the Old Man Out|confrontation with his father]] and his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against terrorists ''haven't actually made him feel any better'', and decides to enter therapy. Davy then gives Millie a lei before Jumping them to Hawaii for a romantic getaway.}}
* [[Love It or Hate It]]: The movie adaptation.
