* 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 ~~Its~~ 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.

* In the ''[[Megatokyo]]'' strip [http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/1119 "a rare thing these days"], it was revealed that {{spoiler|Sony had become a benefactor for the game company Kimiko works at.}} This reveal would have been more shocking had {{spoiler|Matsui}}, who appears several strips before {{spoiler|Dom}}, not ''[[Only Six Faces|looked almost exactly like him.]]'' It spoils the plot point just before it appears because the reader now expects {{spoiler|Dom}} to be there.
