  • Base Breaker: LOLBAT is in the lead, although a lot of Kurtz twists and addons have the same element. Skull's diminuitive, ambitious cousin, and Scratch Fury and many others all have their detractors.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Scott's Dad is probably the darkest horse to become as popular as he has with the fanbase, but Scott does try not to overuse him.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: An early strip has Skull take over from Robbie for a while, wearing his hat. After Robbie comes back, Skull refuses to give it back unless he's given another hat to replace it. "Make it a really cool hat". Description Cut to Skull wearing a fez. After all, fezzes are cool.
    • This was lampshaded in a 2011 strip where Skull gets out his old fez and announces that Matt Smith has made them cool again.
  • Les Yay - Brent mistakes Jade and Miranda for this at Miranda's introduction to the comic.
  • Memetic Mutation - Batman's parents are DEEEEEAAAAD!
  • The Scrappy - Skull's cousin Schecky.
  • Mary Sue - Marcy, who bests Francis in everything, is a talented artist, and whose only flaw is jealousy, once, when Francis flirts with a cosplayer.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot - Several of Kurtz' recent (well, last-couple-of-years kind of recent) plots build up an impressive and possibly even grandiose story arc, only to fizzle out on a short anticlimax. Take for example Robbie's brewing company, Brent's deal with the devil, or the developer that tried to bribe them into giving a good review of his game, all plots which could have been fantastic if not for the fact that Kurtz apparently chickened out right when he got to the hook.
