Even the first page is NSFW, so we'll [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/reverse_cowgirl link to the second]. '''This page should not have direct NSFW links.'''

 

 

* [[Accentuate the Negative]]: Jung plans to review the play:

* [[Anything That Moves]]: '''''Everyone''''' (minus Gary, Jung, Kiley, and Yuki)... but especially Zii, and now Jordan... who is primarily gay, gets any guy he wants whenever he wants, but isn't averse to a roll in the hay with the odd woman.

* [[Anticipatory Breath Spray]]: A stripper uses it before kissing DiDi and Sandra.

* [[Art Evolution]]: The art style overall has remained pretty consistent for such a long-running comic, though the series is slowing shifting from a straightforward [[Archie Comics]] style and occasionally incorporates a few manga features like enlarged eyes.

** Compare Zii from [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20080529.html early in the comic] to a [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20091121.html more recent incarnation]. She seems noticeably younger now, although it's possibly due to her not wearing makeup in the second strip.

*** You can see a similarly-injured Jeremy and his girlfriend Belinda from ''Cool Cat Studio'' in the background of the same strip.

** Dave Zero1 and Giz, the creators themselves, get a cameo at an anime convention, as the creators of their other strip, ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''.

* [[Cat Fight]]: Dillon and Sandra when Sandra taunts Dillon about her relationship with Matt. Not a real catfight, of course, but looks like it, since Dillon is dressed as Black Canary and acts alike.

* [[Caught With Your Pants Down]]: [[Flamboyant Gay|Flaming gay]] Dillon walks in on Zii having some alone time...while calling out the name of her female roommate...and watching ''[[Parallel Porn Titles|Perry Hotter, Part 16]]''.

** [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20100701.html When Zii gets her first laptop].

** "As if a girl would ever come while looking at a picture of me." (October 14, 2010, NSFW.)

** When Gary tries to explain Zii that he's not gay (while suffering from allergy):

{{quote| '''Gary:''' DAMMBIT! I SLEEB WITH GIRLS!!! Or, ad least, I'd like to...<br />

** DiDi [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20080904.html causes this] [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20080906.html a lot].

** [[Yaoi Fangirl|Zii]] is easily [[Guy On Guy Is Hot|Distracted by]] [[Boys Love|the Yaoi]].

* [[Double Standard]]:

** Zii [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/being_pimped calls Gary out] for offering her up for a threesome without asking, and rightfully so. But this is not very different from ''many'' things Zii has done to other people over the years. This also comes just a couple panels after Zii ''didn't'' call out ''Amber'' [[Double Standard Rape Female On Male|for tricking Gary]] [[Questionable Consent|into giving her oral]].

** The reason why Zii got a job in the comic book shop. Also, how else you could explain the costumes? (August 15, 2009, NSFW.)

** Not so much a turn on, but when Gary gives Yuki a bouquet of faux flowers he made out of drumsticks and [[Super Mario Bros|Mario mushrooms]] she warms up to him considerably and even starts showing genuine (if platonic) affection for him. {{spoiler|Except in her erotic dreams, where he's morphed into a combination of himself and Zii.}}

** Kiley does this to Yuki to stop her from tearing up every magazine with naked men in the store where she works. She even says this exact line. [[Captain Obvious|Well, y'know, except for the "man" part]].

** Performed by DiDi on Zii {{spoiler|when she considers sex (then a threesome) as a way of apologizing for breaking Gary's rare Transformer toy}}.

* [[Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies]]: After seeing DiDi's [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20081213.html reaction] to a scene in ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'', Zii wants to watch another scary movie with her; however, they end up watching ''[[REC]]'', and both get scared.

* [[The Glomp]]: Yuki does it to Zii.

** [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20080930.html Zii has] [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20081002.html a pair] (subverted later, as [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090312.html they're shown] [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090725.html working together]).

** As does Gary -- his [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090630.html make out with Dillon's].

* [[Hand or Object Underwear]]: Gary first tries to use a pillow, then, when DiDi takes it away from him (in her sleep), Lita (which, according to Zii is [[Groin Attack|a really bad idea]]), then finally, when Zii startles him and he drops Lita, his hands.

** Matt mentions the end of a [[Orphaned Punchline|funny story]] about Gary where he ends up using a ''jar of pickles'' this way.

** That is to say, she apparently eats girls out. On a daily basis (her boyfriend has taken to bringing other girls home for threesomes). All while invoking this trope.

{{quote| '''Sonya''': Thanks to ''you'', I eat ''pussy'' on a ''nightly basis!''<br />

** Gary's [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20100102.html reaction] to what Zii says about Yuki.

** Zii [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/where_it_all_began does this herself] when she realises just how many ''[[Transformers]]'' cartoons she's just promised to watch.

** To say nothing about his [[Insane Troll Logic|"explanation"]] about how he's not gay or bisexual, despite starting each day out by having anal sex with one of his male subordinates.

* [[Happy Place]]: Yuki has one. It contains three Ziis, all dressed as [[Sailor Moon]].

* [[Omake]]: Comics appear on pay site [[Slipshine]] with more explicit full-frontal nudity and sexual situations.

* [[On One Condition]]: Amber offers a threesome with Gary...with the third person being Dillon, making Gary nervous. [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/well-regulated_threesome When Gary nervously offers] Zii as the third as a way to salvage things, Amber refuses. Her reason? "Dillon is my BFF...and he likes you soooo much!" She couldn't betray him with full-on straight sex with Gary, and she made it clear Gary would have to do stuff (oral sex) to Dillon before he could move to her "Otherwise, it's rude." This causes Gary to go from uncertainty to [[Heroic BSOD]], and Zii to clear up that Gary (at the time in the strip) was not "bi-curious" but has "never been laid."

* [[One Degree of Separation]]: Gary meets up with Zii and Didi, who meet up with Gary's old roommates Matt and Dillon, and then Gary ends up meeting Yuki who is Zii's stalker who ends up liking Gary, Zii meets up with Sonya who she hooks Gary up with but Yuki likes him too and then Didi meets up with Sandra who happens to be Matt's old girlfriend and then Dillon becomes roommates with Amber-Amber who is Gary's favorite porn star and then Sandra meets this transexual who is Matt's <ref> She seems to be M to F</ref> and then Erik who is Didi's ex-boyfriend falls in love with Zii and then Gary performs ''oral sex'' on Amber-Amber and Sonya who Zii seduced is set up to date Gary in competition with Yuki who together decide to 3-way him but Yuki needs help with her tentacle/penis fear and gets Kiley to help her which leads Gary to meet Kiley when Yuki leaves her phone and [[Austin Powers|oh no, I've gone cross-eyed]]...{{spoiler|and then Kiley jumps Gary.}} ...and Zii was Amber's first lover in high school, beginning with a kiss in a game of "Truth or Dare"...

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]:

** Zii says in one of the early strips that her real name is Suzi, but nobody calls her that.

** Everyboy only calls DiDi on her nickname except Sandra, who usually calls her Desirée.

*** [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20110407.html Or not.]

* [[Only Sane Man]]:

* [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold|Porn Star with a Heart of Gold]]: Amber-Amber -- as Gary [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090716.html imagines her to be.]

** And now that she's become an actual character, it seems to be true. (Although Amber is very... pragmatic... about certain matters...)

** {{spoiler|1=[http://www.menagea3.net/comics/mat20101007.png Sandra, after DiDi unexpecedly kisses her]}}.

** Again: [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20110210.html Gary's life is better than a Brazilian Soap Opera!]

* [[Practice Kiss]]: Gary, who's never kissed a girl, ask his ([[Camp Gay]]) roommate Dillon to help. Dillon does so by cosplaying as Gary's favorite porn star to help him get over his gender. This gets strange when he actually meets her and thinks she's Dillon, and she, to recreate the orgasm Dillon gave her (long story), blindfolds him so he'll "practice" between her legs.

* [[Prison Rape]]: When Gary is afraid that Yuki will turn him in for accidentally molesting her, he says to Dillon: "Just remember me fondly as I get butt-raped daily in jail."

* [[Punny Name]]/[[Gratuitous French]]/[[Bilingual Bonus]]: The strip name.

* [[Put On a Bus]]: At the end of volume 3, {{spoiler|Sandra}} is put on a plane to Brazil. She ''is'' said to come back to Montreal, but only after "several weeks". Given the short timeframe of the events in the strip, it might take a long time before that happens.

** [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20100213.html This strip] directly mentions ''[[Candy Candy]]''.

** Zii wants to be called "[[Starship Troopers (Film)|Rico]]" when she's getting whipped (August 11, 2009, NSFW.)

** And now he's wearing a ''[[Re Boot]]'' [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/you_truly_are_an_actor t-shirt...]

** [[Deadpool]]'s recent wave of [[Wolverine Publicity]] got referenced when Gary tried to explain picking up girly comics as "It's a Deadpool variant!"

** However, the fact that the only one giving Gary '''any''' sort of tutoring on the practical side of sexual interaction is [[Camp Gay|Dillon]] (and, until recently, the only one Gary gets to practice ON), should point out how useless Zii is in her self-appointed "wing-girl" status and further cements this trope.

** DiDi's sentiments on the matter seem to have changed after {{spoiler|she overheard Gary make Kiley lose her mind.}} Gary, naturally, is completely clueless.

* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: Zii's [[Idiot Hair]].

* [[Spank the Cutie]]: With Zii, who naturally is [[Too Kinky to Torture]] and very much enjoys herself.

** {{spoiler|And (combined with essentially a Wham Character) Zii getting a boyfriend who was seen only once literally hundreds of strips earlier and who Zii's entire interaction with prior was (intended as) a one night stand}}

** {{spoiler|Gary finally loses his virginity-- ''to Kiley'', who he just met less than an hour before.}}

* [[Wingding Eyes]]:

** Yuki's eyes become spirals when she goes into the "TENTACLLLLES!" mode.
