Minimonsters: Difference between revisions

* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: If there's something [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Victor and Frank]] have in common, is that their families are embarrassing ''as hell''. In the third album's longest story, the Von Piros and the Einsteins meet and, needless to say, it doesn't end well.

** Piruja doesn't have it as bad as the above two, but she's exasperated at her mother's constant [[Serial Romeo]] [[Anything That Moves]] behavior.

* [[Anchored Ship]]: Frank and Henrietta. They're the [[Official Couple]] by [[Word of God]], but several setbacks like Henrietta's [[Super Powered Evil Side|personality issues]] and both characters' insecurities prevent them from fully hooking up.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Guillotine is a Type I: She's very rude and mean to others, but shows her softest side with Piruja, being like an older sister to her. She will do anything to make her happy, such as hooking her with Victor, no matter how mean and sadistic are her ways. Mienai and Skin are a Type IV, with Mienai being also a Type II.

* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Villa Susto. Cute and rosy (somewhat) on the outside, but [[Quirky Town|there's a lot of weird shit underneath]].

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Downplayed in "El Perfeccionator". While the story remains comical, things like split personalities and Frank's [[Character Development]] makes the story slightly darker compared to the other ones. Not to mention the character of [[Knight of Cerebus|Miss Hit]].

* [[Did You Actually Believe?]]: In the fourth album. {{spoiler|When Victor asks for the deal Morty and him made (joining his gang in exchange for tickets to Miedópolis), they [[Evil Gloating|smugly state]] they never intended to keep the bargain, and only used him to piss off Frank and get his brains.}} Douches.

* [[Down to the Last Play]]: {{spoiler|How the fourth album's pumpkinball match ends.}} Being an [[Affectionate Parody]] of sports movies, what did you expect?

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Piruja is this to Victor, and nearly every guy she meets; much to their dismay. Her mother is [[Really Gets Around|even worse]].

* [[The Starscream]]: In "The Perfeccionator", after Frank is unable to lead the gang due to an [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|issue]]-[[Love Hurts|ridden]] [[Heroic BSOD|depression]], Victor takes the opportunity to make himself the leader of the gang, putting Frank's depression against him and [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|bribing Morty's gang to make himself more competent]]. [[Hero Worshipper|Gus]] is ''outraged'' at this, while [[Fur Against Fang|Lupo]] actively sabotages his attempts by arranging a match between him and [[The Bully|local bully]] Quasim, [[Batman Gambit|knowing full well Victor is really a coward and a weakling, and thus will get beaten up and humiliated no matter what]]. {{spoiler|While Victor didn't get beaten up, the plan still worked, helped by the fact Frank had recently recovered from his depression, and is clearly back in charge.}}

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Frank is revealed to be a Type A, putting a happy mask to cope with his task as a leader and hide the fact that he has huge self-esteem issues due to his physical appearance. He gets better, though.

* [[Stepford Snarker]]: Lupo, being incredibly snarky and dealing with a very poor family at the same time.

* [[Three Amigos]]: The main characters [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]], [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]] and [[Cute Witch|Piruja]].

* [[Toilet Humour]]: The comic has a lot of this, mixed with Spanish humor and [[Black Comedy]]. Well, considering the author's sense of humor is based on [[Akira Toriyama]]'s...

* [[Token Good Teammate]]: Mienai to Morty's Gang. He's not a saint, but he's undeniably the nicest and most friendly member in a gang full of [[jerkass|jerkasses]] (Although Guillotine is revealed to be a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] later on).

* [[True Beauty Is on the Inside]]: Parodied in "El Perfeccionator". Frank tries to defend himself over his sister and best friend's (who is Lupo's older sister) mean comments about his physical appearance with this. It doesn't work out.
