Line 23:
** {{spoiler|Rigby when he was under mind control.}}
** Most of what happens to Thrasher throughout the entirety of the [[Meaningful Name|me1TD0WN Event]].
** Happens to [[Doctor Who
** Trevor tried to inflict this fate on {{spoiler|Yakko and Rigby}}. Didn't work out the way he planned it.
* [[Another Dimension]]: While the city exists as something of a cross between a [[Phantom Zone]] and an [[Inn Between the Worlds]] with a one way door, the characters themselves are from different and unique dimensions. [[Captain Obvious|Obviously]].
Line 100:
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: Skips, after he {{spoiler|discovers he isn't immortal anymore.}}
** [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix is found]] suffering from a hangover. The tag description calls him a binge drinker.
* [[Early
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: {{spoiler|A distinctive feature of The Mayor's Consort. Her account name even lampshades this.}}
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: Due to a humorous misunderstanding, Heloise calls Mordecai "Ladybird", simply because it pisses him off.
Line 195:
* [[Meta Guy]]: The City tends to draw in plenty of both types, along with a few [[Fourth Wall Observer|Fourth Wall Observers]].
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Another humorous misunderstanding has Heloise take Mordecai's [[Embarrassing Nickname]] to the next level.
* [[Mistreatment
* [[Mood Swinger]]: The entire game switches from comedy and drama on a dime. For example, Logs #1 and #2 are rather light-hearted. Log #3 on the other hand...
** In-universe, there's [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac|Johnny C.]] who goes from being friendly with Mordecai and Rigby to yelling at them {{spoiler|all while planning on murdering them.}}
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: See above. It's a bit to be expected, when you're mixing characters like [[Axe Crazy|Heloise]], [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul|Mordecai]] [[Lackadaisy|Heller]] and [[Emperor Scientist|Trevor]] with [[Animaniacs (Animation)|The Warner Siblings]], [[Regular Show|Regular Show cast]] and [[Pokémon]]. The [[Darker and Edgier]] clashes nearly constantly with the [[Lighter and Softer]], leaving quite a bipolar, chaotic game.
* [[My Greatest Second Chance]]: [[Persona 4|Naoto]] sees Ink City as a chance to prove she's fully capable of handling being stuck in another world.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Benson {{spoiler|after realizing that he killed Rigby.}}
Line 248:
** {{spoiler|Except that Rigby was very reluctant to do it at first since he believed that it was because of this trope that he was victimized.}}
** This mentality doesn't fly with everyone; Phoenix is particularly against residents killing other residents, causing a rift between him and {{spoiler|the [[Regular Show]] cast}}, among others.
** [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|Vlad's Computer AI]] seems to waver between [[Have a Nice Death|telling GLaDOS that she can go drink poison]] [[Shout
** In fact, most witnesses [[What the Hell, Hero?|blatantly called out Berri]] when she took this stance with Trevor. Of course, the [[Squick|rampant gore presented in gutwrenching video-feed]] may have helped that decision.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: When [[Another Dimension|Kat]] arrives and Trevor initially mistakes her for the Mew who subjected him to [[And I Must Scream]], Berri immediately contacts him to clear things up, even going so far as to offer a chance for physical revenge. Trevor, having learned nothing from his ordeal, promptly starts [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal Lecturing]] her.
Line 263:
** In a way, how Meredith addresses who she calls "The Creator"; the title refers to one person, but she refers to them as 'they' and 'them' when she's asked to describe 'them'.
* [[Put On a Bus]]: Happens quite often to characters who are inactive. {{spoiler|However, there's actually a canon explanation for random people in the city disappearing... [[And I Must Scream|an extremely unpleasant one]]...}}
** {{spoiler|Jimmy}} at the end of Log #36, in one of the [[Tear Jerker|most heartwrenching]] [[Go Out
** [[The Bus Came Back]]: Occasionally, characters who previously appeared in the City and left wind up returning. Sometimes they're the ''exact'' same character; sometimes... not.
** A certain character's bus boarding becomes a plot-heavy [[Wham! Episode]], as {{spoiler|she's met by an avatar of her player}}.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: After Caroline quits, Cave immediately weedles [[Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga)|Yuko]] into becoming his new assistant.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: [[Katamari Damacy|Ichigo]] is a big believer in "Noblesse oblige", thanks to how she was raised and the role she plays back home. Someone misusing or abusing whatever power they have is a major [[Berserk Button]] for her.
Line 281:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Kat and Bass appear to be spiraling awkwardly toward this, especially if Berri's method of teasing is anything to go by.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Dr. Chipotle Jr./Heloise is teased quite often. {{spoiler|In the end though, her heart completely belongs to and always did to Jimmy.}}
* [[Shout
** Once during a crack community meme, Phoenix managed to trick Lucius. He was rewarded with a golden fiddle.
** An alternate universe version of Jimmy pulls off one to the [[Monty Python's Flying Circus|Dead Parrot sketch]] in the crack community Bizarro Meme, which is equally hilariously [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] immediately by Lucius.
Line 335:
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: When Caroline leaves Cave's service, she takes a hard drive with her, carrying it here. This doesn't stop Cave from reaching right in to try and reclaim it.
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: Yakko and Rigby's [http://ink-logs.livejournal.com/20131.html?thread=1925283#t1925283 Pretty Fly (For a Toon Guy)], mocking Trevor to his face.
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: Trevor [[Tautological Templar|does not consider himself a villain]], and [[Zero
** Rigby tried to fix this by showing off what Trevor had done to him and Yakko. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|It got the attention of]] [[It Got Worse|the wrong kind of people]].
* [[Voices Are Mental]]: A fairly literal example in Kat who, when speaking telepathically, will sound the same regardless of whatever form she's currently in. Played slightly more straight with her human form, as her speaking voice is also the same as her telepathic one.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: After [[Wham! Episode|Event #1]], Heloise tries this on Yakko.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: [[Aeon Flux|Trevor]] sees himself as this. [[Mind Rape|His preferred methods]], however, don't exactly endear him to anyone...
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Event #1, wherein a group of residents venture into the forest and discover the [[Fourth Wall]], [[It Got Worse|among other things]].
** Event #2, where a cruise on [[Cool Boat|Superboat]] results in several disturbing implications about {{spoiler|the exact nature of the Ink Monsters}}.
** The climax of me1TD0WN: Thrasher {{spoiler|''breaks the fountain'' and apparently wipes himself from existance in the process}}.
