* [[Pandaing to the Audience]]: "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/miscellaneous/index.php?issue=7&pageType=index&seriesID=7 Rice Cub]" stars a talking panda with a personality similar to that of Mary Lynn Rajskub, who played Chloe O'Brian in ''[[24|Twenty Four]]''.
* [[Product Placement]]: The first issue of Paltridge's publication, ''BANG! The Entertainment Paper'', [http://www.platypuscomix.net/miscellaneous/index.php?issue=17&page=6 appeared] in "Schoolhouse Bootleg" at least six months before it became available in stores.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: After Paltridge learned of the existence of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514202747/http://www.kevhines.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi a website] called "Platypus Comi'''cs'''," he wrote about his characters' reactions to the [[Similarly Named Works|similarly named work]] and its debatably enjoyable content in "Riot Act # 2."
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/miscellaneous/index.php?issue=1&seriesID=7 Awesome Blossom]," intended to feel like an unaired [[Filmation]] cartoon.
{{quote|'''Description:''' It's got everything: [[Tastes Like Diabetes|lame cutesy characters]], [[Limited Animation]], gaudy flourescent effects, [[Who Writes This Crap?|idiotic plots]] and more!}}
Line 174:
* [[The Stinger]]: Most of the articles hosted at Platypus Comix itself end with two links: one that leads back to the home page, and one that varies on each article, leading to a page that has either an adequate or nonexistent relation to the article's subject. Articles written on Paltridge's Toon Zone blog bear neither links.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Like several of the amateurish articles RetroJunk features, "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/websurfin/retrojunk.html Retrojunk's Greatest Article Ever]" contains plenty of bad spelling and grammar. Also, its attempts at [[Fetish Fuel]] fail since many of the "Top Ten Hottest Cartoon Women Ever" have inadequate pictures, the top two choices are male, and [[Christopher Walken|the # 1 choice]] is not a cartoon character.
* [[Time Marches On]]: "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidzone/comingtodvdnever.html Why you may never see some of your favorite childhood shows on DVD]" originally included ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' among the shows whose fans needed to [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]. After Time Life went and released ''all'' the episodes on DVD, Nicktoons and ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' took its spot on the list. Later, Shout! Factory managed to release DVDs of ''those'', so they got removed from Paltridge's article without any replacements.
* [[Totally Radical]]: [http://www.platypuscomix.net/videos/index.html Totally Rad Videos!]
