Running Gag/Comic Books/Scott Pilgrim

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Scott Pilgrim contains numerous Running Gags. A few token examples:

  • (Knives Chau: 17 years old.)
  • Should we be letting her drink beer?
  • Slightly less prevalent: "Jason? You mean the guy with a car?"
  • Moral high ground.
    • Nah, Scott's just a pussy.
  • In volume 6: CASUAL SEX
  • August 27th is not Scott's birthday.
  • Scott can't remember who anyone is that he doesn't already know. Including his own brother.
  • Examples of this trope could probably fill a page all on their own.
  • One more: "I don't have to answer that."
  • Wait, don't forget the memory cams in Volume 6.
