Line 169:
** On top of this, the {{spoiler|Auditor suffers this throughout Abrogation, until his [[Phlebotinum Overload]]}}
* [[Phlebotinum Overload]]: {{spoiler|The Auditor's death, courtesy of Tricky's remains.}}
* [[Pistol -Whipping]]: When empty, guns are frequently used as melee weapons.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: As demonstrated by the first two OBSV agents.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]/[[Anti-Villain]]: Jesus, [[Alternate Character Interpretation|most likely]]. If anything, he's just trying to stop [[One-Man Army|Hank]] from killing more people, and he even "rescues" Hank by granting his [[Death Seeker]] wish, immediately before [[Heel Face Turn|becoming the hero himself]] by trying to kill [[Big Bad|the Auditor]].
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]
* [[Raymanian Limbs]]: Floating hands are omnipresent in this series.
* [[Reality Warper]]: Tricky, according to his profile on the Auditor's monitor. May or may not simply be a side effect of the Improbability Drive.
* [[Recurring Traveller]]: The Hot Dog Vendor, a guy in a paper hat and greasy apron who has the privilege of being one of the few characters who has not been killed yet. The cafeteria vendor is becoming this, showing up twice and going back to reading his book.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: [[Light Is Not Good|Jebus]], [[Dark Is Evil|the Auditor]] and many, many, many [[Mooks]].
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The only way this series can get away with the body count.
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]] - Jesus had an S&W500, and Sanford has a Ruger GP-101
Line 184:
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: Incident: 100A
* [[Shock and Awe]]: {{spoiler|Hank gets this ability after fussing with Jebus' halo after taking it from the Auditor. It proves to be the Auditor's weakness, as it quickens his destablization.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: Many for ''[[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'', and a few to ''[[The Matrix]]''. Also there are certain weapons that bear a strong resemblance to weapons from other media - especially the cutlass with the spiky handguard that seems to be from ''[[Heavy Metal (Animation)|Heavy Metal]]''. Hank's getup from Episode 5 is basically Jean Reno's costume from ''[[The Professional]]''. As well as the Graffiti that featured names such as Newgrounds Dot Com and forum members on the official fansite.
** Hank's fighting style, especially with [[Guns Akimbo]], is [[Gun Kata]], as seen in [[Equilibrium]].
* [[Splash of Color]]: Mostly red (and now [[Alien Blood|yellow]]) in the midst of that colorless world.
Line 197:
* [[Sword and Gun]]: Used extensively by Hank in Apotheosis, as well as by Jebus in most of his appearances.
* [[Swords Akimbo]]: The Auditor.
* [[Throw -Away Guns]]: Hank tends to burn through both his ammo and his firearms. Subverted by Jebus, who only drops his TAC-50 after he doesn't need it anymore/runs out of ammo and keeps his S&W500 on him throughout the episode, and played straight and subverted by Deimos, who throws weapons away, but not his own S&W.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Ever seen someone's skull being pierced by a police baton from ''[[Crazy Awesome|across the room?]]'' Hank does this with a gun, a sword in the intro for ''Apothesis'', and Jesus at least once.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The grunts in Incident:011A try to stop [[Giant Mook|Mag-Agent: Torture]] by hitting him with nightsticks.
