'''Greg:''' That's right, Harper, demons ''do'' gots to be slain! }}
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: A very minor version; when Greg's relationships with Crystal and Lizzie ended, he didn't do comics for a week, simply putting up a note saying that he didn't feel much like being funny at the moment. Of course, he got over it, and now that he's married it probably won't happen again. (Unless, God forbid, he gets a divorce.)
* [[Cut and Paste Comic]]: Most of the comics consist of the characters and backgrounds being cut and pasted with new dialogue put in. The creator sometimes makes a fuss about new backgrounds or objects.
** One arc, mirroring Greg and Liz' real world house-hunting, had a strip in which the camera suddenly refused to follow the characters. Then a note floated down from the cartoonist, stating that due to the flurry of new backgrounds he's had to make recently, he had decided to go into a coma.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Tony. He appears to have read the [[Evil Overlord List]] at least. Review his take on the [[Death Trap]] and [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]] [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/030620.html as an example].
Line 49:
Greg: "DO YOU MIND!?" }}
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The arc starting [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/010312.html here], where Tony builds a [[Mechwarrior]] and his girlfriend is given [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Eva-00]] when she gripes to the author, resulting in an East vs West throwdown. {{spoiler|The 'Mech destroys the Eva's power cable, but it doesn't have any weapons capable of penetrating its defenses so the whole thing ends in a draw.}}
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: In one strip, Greg goes into a Dave and Buster's and orders a Pepsi, but the waitress refuses to serve him because he's not old enough to drink alcohol. Greg Dean has said [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|this actually happened to him]].
* [[Internet Backdraft]]: [[In-Universe]] example: In one strip, Liz tries to get Greg into ''[[Doctor Who]]''; he refuses, citing his [[Mr. Vice Guy|addictive personality]] and saying he doesn't need another show to obsess over. The very next day's strip has him telling Liz he'll give it a shot, revealing that he got so many emails from fans telling him how great ''DW'' is that it overheated and melted his computer.
* [[It Was a Dark and Stormy Night]] in a [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/001030.html parody strip].
Line 83:
* [[Only Six Faces]]
* [[Plot Hole]]: [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/060911.html They're kind of cute, actually.]
* [[Purple Prose]]: [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/100407.html Sent up].
* [[Random Number God]]: [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/000804.html Dean misses a stationary enemy because he failed to roll a high enough THAC0]
** Then [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/011212.html the RandomNumberGod exacts justice on Tony]
Line 97:
* [[Taste the Rainbow]]: [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/090204.html Literally].
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In one strip, Greg says he prefers Google+ to Facebook because it doesn't have any annoying things like people poking your or inviting you to [[Farmville]]. Dave immediately goes to his own computer and messages Greg, saying simply "*poke*".
* [[Time Is Dangerous]]: [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/110616.html This strip] touches this with discussion after time bubble were used to rapidly age mead 6 months.
* [[Time Travel]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: ''Pepsi.'' Apparently some guys from Pepsi looked the comic over once and didn't see anything objectionable, so they didn't ask Dean to stop.
