Suicide for Hire: Difference between revisions

* [[Carnivore Confusion]] - [[Lampshaded]] by the author in a side note for [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070715.html a comic] where Hunter and Arc were discussing milk. "You know of any species of wild animals that not only nurse after infancy, but from a source not even of its own species?" note: "To anal-retentive assholes like myself: you know what I mean. STFU."

* [[Character Filibuster]]

* [[Confusing Multiple Negatives]] - Apparently when Hunter was 13, his father tried to ensure that he would be straight using porn: "By the way, I don't not want you not watching not channel 169 when we're out of the house."

* [[Costume Porn]] - Arcturus and Hunter wear elaborate outfits, and [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070321.html so does this girl, apparently].

* [[Guilty Pleasures]] - Because of what it's about, few people will admit to reading it.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]] - Hunter sometimes does this to people who piss him off, while he's inflicting serious pain.

* [[High Turnover Rate]] - One time Arcturus quits Suicide for Hire and gets a job at a ball park concession stand where the customers are particularly idiotic. He lasts four days longer than most people before snapping and trying to strangle someone.

* [[Human Resources]] - In one comic Hunter is doing a report on Utilitarianism and suggests that the penalty for offenses as minor as speeding should be to get ground up into protein shakes that are then fed to hobos who are then lured into a hospital so their organs can be harvested.

* [[The McCoy]]: [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070128.html Arcturus sometimes drifts into this.]

* [[Mugging the Monster]]: At one point, a {{spoiler|gay waiter}} keeps pestering Hunter and won't take no for an answer. This is a ''bad'' idea.

* [[My Death Is Just the Beginning]] - Used only in the Frat Boy arc so far, as after his suicide, a detailed record of all the threats and harassment heaped upon him surface (and result in a heap of lawsuits between the two warring factions).

* [[Never Speak Ill of the Dead]] - Arc and [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20091212.html especially Hunter] avert this with many of their clients. Hunter especially seems to think most of them deserved their gruesome fates.

* [[Pizza Boy Special Delivery]] - [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20071209.html Altair].

* [[Police Are Useless]] - They do ''try,'' but circumstances tend to conspire against them.

** Often [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded]] when the client finally stops talking and Hunter and Arc are shown [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20051109.html reading porn] or [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20060326.html playing Russian roulette] or [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070812.html getting lap dances].

* [[Wicked Weasel]] - The [[Depraved Homosexual]] waiter who harasses Hunter is [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20061001.html clearly some kind of mustelid], though his exact species is unclear.

* [[Wish Fulfillment]] - Oh, don't even ''try'' to deny it.

* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]] - Hunter claims that "I draw the line at the unwarranted violent abuse of the fairer sex". But that doesn't stop him from accepting female clients, or from carrying out the [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20051214.html most gruesome] death seen so far on one of those clients. Evidently he doesn't consider his job "unwarranted".

* [[X Meets Y]] - Heathers meets Se7en.
