Line 3:
* [[Angel-Devil Shipping]]: Put someone who is in the Frank’s gang (angels) with someone in the Morty’s gang (devils), and you get this.
* [[Awesome Ego]]: Victor and Morty. Frank can also count.
* [[Catharsis Factor]]: Every time [[Redheaded Bully|Quasim]] gets his just desserts for his [[The Bully|bullying behavior]] and generally being an [[Hate Sink|unlikable character]]. [[Evil Redhead|Miss Hit]] knocking him out twice in the second album is a standing example of this.
** In the fourth album, after all the atrocities [[The Sociopath|Morty]] has done in order to win the Pumpkinball match and acting like a [[Smug Snake|smug little shit]] all the while, {{spoiler|seeing his utter defeat and subsequent [[Humiliation Conga]]}} is extremely satisfying.
* [[Cliché Storm]]: The fourth album has the plot of every sports movie ever in a nutshell. [[Tropes Are Tools|This isn't a bad thing in the least]], thanks to the comic's surreal humor and some unexpected twists thrown in, making the album an [[Affectionate Parody]].
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Frank. Just... Frank.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: ''Always''.
* [[Cult Classic]]: Isn't really known outside of its own country, but many people who read and, in some cases, grew up with it absolutely love it.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: The third album's story about Skin and bulimia jokes can be considered this. Either that, or an example of [[Crosses the Line Twice]].
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: The "Muerte Chunga" team uniforms in the fourth album. This is acknowledged [[In-Universe]], with Momses wishing Guillotine would have made them their uniforms too. Considering his team's overly pink, strawberry uniform, it's not without reason.
** Morty is considered this in general. As
* [[Foe Yay]]: Morty seems a little too [[Villainous Crush|obsessed]] with Frank. True, he's after his brains, but the way he goes about it is... questionable, to say the least.
** In the "Todo Minimonsters" [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DrkacWpXcAAD6FV.jpg cover], we can see him [[Perverted Drooling|drooling]] over him. While one of his eyes is staring at his brains, the loose one looks like he's looking [[Male Gaze|somewhere else]].
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[It Was His Sled]]: {{spoiler|Miss Hit is Henrietta's evil alter-ego}}. It was so painfully obvious not even ''the album itself'' tries to hide it.
** In the fourth album, {{spoiler|Victor betrays the Frank's Gang and joins Morty's Gang for a while}}. Again, the album's cover and description spoils it.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Victor Von Piro has shades of this. He’s undeniably a [[Spoiled Brat|spoiled]] [[Jerkass|jerk]] who treats everyone like total crap and only thinks about himself, doing such things like {{spoiler|helping the villain to achieve his goal and betraying his own friends by joining their rival's gang}}. However, those things were done to come back to his former home Miedópolis, failing in both cases. Also, his life ''really'' sucks
** To say nothing on Miss Hit. Sure, she's a queen bitch, but {{spoiler|being the [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of Henrietta}}, is not like she ''[[Tragic Villain|choosed]]'' to be that. {{spoiler|Her [[Villainous BSOD]] after discovering her true self is still Henrietta}} only remarks her woobie-ness.
** Add to that list [[The Hunter|Flan Hellsing]]. A monster hunter, he's absolutely pathetic and, deep down, [[Jaded Washout|he knows it]].
** [[Dem Bones|Skin]] is usually a dick, but he has an [[Abusive Parents|abusive mom]] who outright prefers [[The Cutie|Gus over him]]. Not to mention, like [[The Woobie|Mienai]], he gets put through hell.
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: Meta-example. Many bought the ¡Dibus! magazine just for this comic alone, being the most successful by far.
* [[Love to Hate]]: Victor, Morty, Rattus Sapiens, Miss Hit and Flan Hellsing. They range from being standard jerks to outright villains, but damn if they're not hilarious or awesome. Or both at the same time.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Due to the "Gaysper" meme, David Ramírez posted [https://twitter.com/DavidRamirezRos/status/1122756423044272128 his version] featuring [[Bedsheet Ghost|Gus]], which did not go unnoticed by the fandom.
* [[Moe]]: Basically every minimonster, but [[Bedsheet Ghost|Gus]] takes the cake.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Morty Vivente was never a nice guy to begin with, but when {{spoiler|he hires a minimonster-eater giant spider to eat Piruja and her mom just to ensure the Frank's Gang's defeat}}, he truly proves to be the town's resident [[The Sociopath|sociopath]]. Made all the worse when you take into account {{spoiler|Piruja is his girlfriend's ''best friend''.}}
** He crossed it earlier by {{spoiler|putting Billy and his family out of comission by making Victor clean the town dump, all for a
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: There's ''hell of a lot'' in this series, along with [[Nausea Fuel]].
* [[The Scrappy]]:
* [[Squick]]: A lot, considering [[Toilet Humor|the kind]] [[Crosses the Line Twice|of humor]] the author uses. [[The Pig Pen|Billy]] in particular is a recurring fountain of these moments, both from the characters and the readers.
* [[Take That, Scrappy!]]: [[The Scrappy|Quasim]] may be many things, but a [[Creator's Pet]] '''ain't''' one of them. Frank's mocking imitation of him (As OOC it seems [[Characterization Marches On|later on]]) in the first album is basically saying what the readers are thinking, while Miss Hit decking him '''twice''' in the second was a fully appreciated [[Catharsis Factor]] for someone who is usually a [[Karma Houdini]].
* [[Toy Ship]]: All canon and non-canon Minimonster pairings, most of them being [[Ho Yay]].
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Every Minimonster is cute, but Piruja takes this trope [[Up to Eleven|to a whole new level]].
** Frank's new pet, Caca Einstein. Never a [[Talking Poo|Living Poo]] looked so adorable.
* [[Unpopular Popular Character]]: Victor Von Piro. Hated In-Universe, loved (or at least more liked) by the fandom.
* [[The Woobie]]:
** The most straight-up example is Gus. Despite his cuteness, he's treated like crap by most of the characters. Although it's [[Played for Laughs]] (mostly), the fact that it's '''GUS'''
** Frank is a huge one, as revealed in "El Perfeccionator". It makes his [[Break the Cutie]] process really hard to watch. That said, he's also an [[Iron Woobie]].
** Lupo comes from a very poor background, has to take care of his siblings at a young age, and he's frequently insulted for this (In particular, his [[Jerkass|asshat]] of a [[With Friends Like These...|"friend"]] [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Víctor]]). With a situation like this, [[Stepford Snarker|it's no wonder he's so snippy]].
** Poor, poor Henrietta. Being an [[Ill Girl]] who can't
** Mienai may not be a saint, but he definitely doesn't deserve quite as much crap as [[Jerkass|his teammates]] do, much less being the gang's [[Butt Monkey|punching bag]] (''Especially'' [[The Sociopath|Morty]]'s)
** Billy usually averts this thanks to his [[The Pollyanna|
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: Seriously, with all the [[Toilet Humour]], [[Black Comedy]] and sexual innuendo, it’s surprising that it's still considered for kids.
