* Considering it's a webcomic that underwent heavy [[Cerebus Syndrome]] while retaining a cartoony, stick-figure-based art style, you'd think ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' would be awash in Narm; surprisingly, it mostly dodges it. However, Bozzok's attempt at a [[Bond One-Liner]]--"I'm bringing the onions...to make you cry!"--is wince-worthy, and if it was supposed to be so on purpose, then it was still too bad to be [[So Bad It's Good]]. The Thieves' Guild in general is narmy because everyone acts as if they're a credible threat with far-reaching plot implications...and then they go down like a kobold with a lung infection. |

** Hinjo's speech to Miko [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0409.html here]. It's clear to the reader that Miko was wrong to {{spoiler|kill Shojo}}, and so seeing Hinjo explain ''why'' it was wrong in such great detail is annoying. Especially cringe-worthy is the line "yours. were.," where each word gets its own voice bubble. It wasn't clear to ''all'' the readers that Miko was wrong, unfortunately. Hinjo had to explain things both to the [[Misaimed Fandom]] and to the crazy lady with the sharp sword. |
