''Meaty Yogurt'' is a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027120219/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/ webcomic] by Megan Rose Gedris, who is also the author of ''[[
To make things worse, Middleville is under a curse as a result of being built on land stolen from an Indian tribe -- anyone born there is destined to die there. Jackie hates the thought of being stuck in an ambition-less life and dying in her hometown, so she constantly attempts to make her life interesting, or as she puts it, "live a life someone would want to read a book about."

* [[A Good Name for
* [[Battle of the Bands]]
* [[Brick Joke]]: Space aliens are credited first with [https://web.archive.org/web/20130124092435/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2010/11/17/shit-steven-hawking-says/ eating library cards] and later for blessing Moira with [https://web.archive.org/web/20141101160458/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2011/05/30/whats-your-secret/ awesome guitar skills].
* [[Curse]]: Almost an [[Indian Burial Ground]] one, but not quite, since the Middleville curse comes from driving Indians off their land rather than desecrating their graves.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]? This is used to great comic effect with [https://web.archive.org/web/20150219032529/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2011/01/11/get-it-up/ hair gel].
* [[Flashback Effects]]: Scenes are redder tones of purple when set far back in time, and grow more bluish as they approach the present. Also serves as a subverted form of the [[Monochrome Past]] trope, since things are purple, not black and white.
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]
{{quote|
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Slogar
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Moira's neat, subtle lip scar adds character to her face and establishes her as the cool, out-of-town badass. She apparently got it from being stabbed in the face by a junkie.
* [[Hot Librarian]]: Subverted, since Tom the librarian is both a guy and amazingly zitty, but Jackie thinks he's extremely cute and great in bed.
* [[How We Got Here]]: Jackie's memory of talking to her Uncle Max is the setup for her obsession with [https://web.archive.org/web/20130124092425/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2010/10/17/harmonica/ leaving her hometown].
* [[Important Haircut]]: Somewhat mocked when Jackie attempts to go punk for a battle of the bands by getting a mohawk.
* [[Logic Bomb]]: Saffron promises to date a man if he first learns to respect her lesbianism. She later describes this as a relationship paradox.
* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: Jackie's birth name is Marilyn Monroe.
* [[Nerds Are Virgins]]: Subverted when Jackie [https://web.archive.org/web/20141101160106/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2010/11/25/virgin/ assumes] that Tom is a virgin based on his nerdy appearance and messy room, but he isn't. {{spoiler|She, however, totally is.}}
* [[Only Known
* [[Orwellian Retcon]]: Moira's facial scar was originally located on her eye. It was moved to her lip because [https://web.archive.org/web/20150122110751/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2011/05/15/major-changes/ Gedris felt that a scarred eye was too reminiscent of Sadako (from Yu+Me:Dream)]. Artwork featuring Moira on already published pages was altered to reflect this change.
* [[Painted-On Pants]]: Slogar's [https://web.archive.org/web/20141101160406/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2011/01/12/flop-flop/ outfit] when he plays drums for Sex Mime.
* [[Powerup Full
* [[Pun-Based Title]]
* [[Raised
* [[Sensual Spandex]]: Referenced for laughs when Jackie and Saffron talk about a theoretical nipple showing through Batman's Batsuit.
* [[Small Town Boredom]]
Line 40:
* [[Talent Contest]]: The Punk Rock Triathilon.
* [[The Runaway]]: Moira.
* [[Training Montage]]: Subverted because it illustrates how bad Sex Mime is at playing punk music, or [https://web.archive.org/web/20150218173904/http://rosalarian.com/meatyyogurt/2011/01/10/training-montage/ music at all].
