Many of the comics rely on [[Subverted Trope|subverting]] the established premise or the audience's expectations. Blood and violence are used liberally often [[Crossing the Line Twice|crossing the line twice]] and frequently going with [[Dude, Not Funny|dude not funny]] style punchlines. The authors enjoy parodying [[God Is Evil|religion]] and a wide array of other topics, such as movies, classic board games, and genies to name a few.
