* [[Rule 34]]: Invoked ''in-universe''. Bowser has a disturbing tendency to [[Rule 34]] ''the details of his own life'', much to his [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|childrens' horror]], in ways that would put even [[Family Guy|Peter Griffin]] to shame.

'''Bowser:''' "Boy, if that's all you got, you STILL got some ways to go! See, with yo' Mama, it was more like she was Sour Grapes, and I was the Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak, going every night like 'Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-TA! POW!"<br/>
'''Wendy:''' "Thanks a lot, Dad! Now you've [[Ruined FOREVER|sullied any remaining good memories I may have had]] of ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]''!"<br/>
'''Iggy:''' "He's as bad as [[Rule 34]], on the internet!"<br />
Line 245:
{{quote|
{{spoiler|
'''Wendy:''' "Ludwig! You've been awfully quiet, don't you have anything to say?"<br />
'''Ludwig:''' "I have nothing to say, at all. I couldn't care less about the boy's particular tastes in carnal relations. All I know is that I've wasted enough of my time today, all of which could have been spent being more productive and getting work done."<br />
'''Roy:''' "Oh, HELL naw. Dis really ain't da muthafuckin time for dat kinda shit, 'big bro'! I done had it up to here wit' ya n how ya act ya ain't a part of dis here family!"<br />
'''Ludwig:''' "Truth be told? I never asked for little brothers or a little sister. And there have certainly been times when I thought I may have been better off, if I did not have any to concern myself with."<br />
'''Morton:''' "Well, shit! How 'bout tellin' us how ya REALLY feel 'bout us, huh?!"<br />
'''Wendy:''' "Ludwig! Come back here! I can't seriously bring myself to believe that you truly mean what you just said!"<br />
'''Ludwig:''' "Sister, if I might speak frankly? Or 'keeping it real', as you young people put it? As much as you may continue to delude yourself as such, [[You're Not My Father|you are NOT our Mother]], nor can you hope to take her place. So, don't even think you can try to order me around as if you were her!"<br />
'''Roy:''' "SHIT, LUDWIG! I always knew ya was cold, but I never thought ya be so fuckin' CALLOUS!"

** In chapter 5:
{{quote|
'''Grandpa Rufus:''' "And well, damn! Been longer than I thought! You all have gotten so big! Or at least, most of you!"<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "Ha ha. *eyeroll* You best get all your 'vertically-challenged' jokes out while you can, author-man! It's bad enough I'm just a [[Bit Character]] in [[A Day in the Limelight|a side-story]] most people won't bother reading! I mean, what are the chances of me getting [[Fan Art]] amongst the ''[[Roommates 2009 (Fanfic)|Roommates]]'' fanbase!?"
}}
** In chapter 6:
{{quote|
'''Larry:''' "We didn't miss anything, right?"<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "Oh, just a few flashbacks last chapter, and then some shameless cameo appearances in this one. Yeah, not much!"<br />
'''Roy:''' "Hm, I see I count only one blue-haired 'fro in the mix. Can't say I'm surprised."<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "Well, you know how it is, Roy. But I'll elaborate a bit for the sake of the readers at home! We all know that Ludwig has always set himself apart from the rest of us. And it seemed like the more of us that came along as the years went by, the further he went. And then Mom going 'bye-bye', didn't help."<br />
'''Wendy:''' "We all had to deal with Mom's passing in our own way. But in the last few years, especially, he's acted as if he wants nothing to do with this family. Like he wants to be a miserable lil Scrooge all by himself."<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "Well, I could tell you more, but that would require a flashback or otherwise long-winded exposition of some sort. And being a mere side-character, I don't think you or I have the power or right to initiate such a thin."

Line 304:
** In chapter 11, when Junior comes home from the prom all beaten up:
{{quote|
'''Junior:''' "Hey...we're back."<br />
'''Wendy:''' "MY BEAUTIFUL TUX!! BJ, what in the hell--!"<br />
'''Iggy:''' "--Happened to you!? Dad's phone has been--"<br />
'''Morton:''' "--Off da hook for da last hour, cuz of Babs' Dad! Sounds like sum--"<br />
'''Larry:''' "--Serious shit went down! You sure got--"<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "--[[I Love Lucy|Some explain' to do, Lucy~]] But seriously, I'm just glad to be in another chapter again! We side characters have to take what we can get!"<br />
'''Bowser:''' "Put a sock in it, Lemmy."
Line 314:
** And then again later:
{{quote|
'''Wendy:''' "Good. Now, like any other crisis that has come up in this family, I believe that we can get through this one, too, if we stick together as a family. But what about the rest of you?"<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "Well, hell, who am I to stand in opposition to the protagonist of this story, right?"
}}
** And:
{{quote|
'''Iggy:''' "Oh yeah, I'm probably the only one in this house that's watched all 7 seasons of ''[[Ranma ½]]''."<br />
'''Lemmy:''' "How's THAT for your relatively obscure reference this chapter, readers?!"<br />
'''Wendy:''' "Lemmy, I swear to God! One more outburst like that, and I get out the [[Static Stun Gun|taser]] again!"

Line 467:
* [[Berserk Button]]: As fun as it has been for his siblings to tease their blatantly homophobic brother even before Junior came out of the closet, ''this'' exchange cast Larry's issues in a new light:
{{quote|
'''Iggy:''' "Oh, and just because I'm a bit curious...who was on top, when you guys did it?"<br />
'''Junior:''' "Wow! From me keeping it a big secret to now fielding questions like this...!"<br />
'''Iggy:''' "Yeah, yeah, now answer the question!"<br />
'''Junior:''' "Well, if you must know...ME! And I'll swear, that Persian must have some tiger blood in him or something, cuz he was able to do things with me in the sack that I ain't NEVER seen in any porno I've watched. Gay or straight!"<br />
'''Larry:''' "OK! That does it! I've tried to be tolerant and all, but this is about as much as I can take!"<br />
'''Wendy:''' "Shh! Larry! The boys are trying to sleep!"<br />
'''Junior:''' "Sorry, Larry. But again: [[Dinosaurs|'I'm the baby, gotta love me!']]"<br />
'''Larry:''' "No, not this time! It's one thing to 'like what you like', but it's another thing altogether to keep rubbing it in everyone else's face! There's just some shit that should just stay in the bedroom, where it belongs! I could have happily gone the rest of my natural life without knowing how well my brother can deep-throat things and if you were 'on top' and shit!"<br />

{{spoiler|
'''Mondo:''' "Ah... w--why did you pull out?"<br />
'''Olly:''' "Huff... Shut up... Don't be a fag..."<br />
'''Mondo:''' "Don't be a fag...?"<br />
'''Mondo:''' *laughing out loud*<br />
'''Mondo:''' "What do you think you just did?"

Line 701:
* [[The Beard]]:
{{quote|
'''Junior:''' "Before I begin, I just want to say this: I never set out to hurt you, or anyone else. I let things get out of hand, in a way that I never should have allowed. I never intended for you to feel as deeply as you do about me."<br />
'''Babs:''' "BJ, just what are you saying?"<br />
'''Junior:''' "I always loved you, but only as a friend. Being honest, I [[Incompatible Orientation|never was attracted to you]] in the same way you are about me."<br />
'''Babs:''' "If I can just ask one question then? Who is it?"<br />
