* [[Beast and Beauty]]: [http://nonadventures.com/2011/07/30/beauty-and-the-beatdown/ Here.]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: And here you thought Rita's only personality trait was being [[The Ditz]]. [http://nonadventures.com/2010/09/18/sidekick-effects/ Think again]!
* [[Big No]]: Wonderella [https://nonadventures.com/2007/03/10/daylight-savings-crime/ after] her abuse of the Order of Prodigious Noblewomen's [[Time Machine]] to try to avoid losing an hour with the switch to daylight saving time earns her the ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' ending, with the Statue of Liberty half-buried in a beach.
* [[Blasphemous Boast]]: "God answers [http://nonadventures.com/2007/10/13/the-wrong-arm-of-the-law/ to ME!]"

Line 246 ⟶ 247:
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: The short-lived [[Sentai]] team [http://nonadventures.com/2014/04/26/flags-of-our-fodder/ Semaphorce]'s Pink member declares "Pink for VENGEANCE!"
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: [https://nonadventures.com/2006/12/23/jesus-christ-super-hero/ On Christmas Eve], Wonderella wants to have fun shooting clay pigeons, which she has Wonderita throw into the air — in a city, with nothing to stop her shots from hitting passers-by. Wonderella immediately accidentally shoots down Santa Claus in his flying sleigh, which crashes and [[Every Car Is a Pinto|burns]] on the roof of a church, [[From Bad to Worse|setting the church on fire]], after which Jesus teleports in to [[What the Hell, Hero?|admonish them]] and to recruit them for [[Saving Christmas]].
* [[Reduced to Ratburgers]]: After the leprechaun teleports Wonderella and Wonderita to [https://nonadventures.com/2007/03/17/shamrock-shake-up/ somewhere high up in snowy mountains], Wonderella [[The Lord of the Rings (film)|releases a moth, summoning a giant eagle]], but instead of properly rescuing them it just takes them to its nest, where it regurgitates food into its babies' mouths. Wonderella closes her eyes and angles to get some of the food, while Rita looks [[Squick|unsure she wants to go along with this]]. Given that they don't seem to have tried any ''other'' way to get back to civilization, Wonderella was maybe being premature in being willing to eat ''that''.
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]
* [[Retro Gaming]]: Wonderella [https://nonadventures.com/2007/01/20/show-us-your-wiiness/ goes to buy] a [[Wii]] because "everyone else wants" one, but she finds it too complex and prefers playing ''[[Bad Dudes]]'' on an [[Wikipedia:arcade machine|arcade machine]].
