Line 9:
* [[Acrofatic]]: Butch veers between this and just plain fat.
* [[Alone With the Psycho]]: Many strips are positioned as such.
* [[...And Show It to You]]: Butch tries this sometimes, but the victims usually don't live long enough to see it.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Butch likes to kill these, although he'll target anyone who draws his attention. (Among other things, he specifically targets registered sex offenders.)
* [[Author Avatar]]: [http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20010504.html Alarmingly possible].
Line 67:
* [[It's a Wonderful Plot]]: [http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20101223.html Without Butch . . . the world would be so much better!]
* [[Karma Houdini]]: At various times, Butch has been imprisoned, put on parole, sentenced to death (with the implication that he killed everyone in the courtroom), and placed at third on the FBI's most wanted list. It has never even been hinted that something other than direct authorial intervention or his own stupidity could put him down for good. (In one version of the future, it's the latter. In another, he grows old in a nursing home, no longer physically fit enough to kill anyone.)
* [[Knocking On Heathens' Door]]: [http://choppingblock.org/d/20010711.html Butch does Jehovah a favor, and gets rid of a witness].
* [[L Is for Dyslexia]]: One of Butch's recurring traits. (Among other things, when he tried to kill the Dixie Chicks, he accidentally killed some "Chix with Dicks.")
* [[Made From Real Girl Scouts]]: [http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20101220.html Recipes for gingerbread men always omit the most important ingredient.]
Line 75:
* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Butch's mother was emotionally abusive, and although she's long since dead, he [[Mummies At the Dinner Table|dug up her corpse]] and still hears it speak to him. At various points, he's carried it around in a backpack, accidentally beheaded it, and [[Squick|tried to climb back into its uterus]].
** Notably, when someone asked him to spare her life because she had a little boy, he killed her precisely ''because'' of [[Freudian Excuse|how he might have turned out if his mother hadn't been around]].
* [[Nail
* [[Napoleon Delusion]]: [http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20010719.html Why Butch didn't mingle with other inmates at the asylum.]
* [[Negative Continuity]]: Butch wears a hockey mask and kills people. ''Nothing'' else stays constant from strip to strip, not even his personality--it all depends on the [[Rule of Funny]].
Line 99:
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: [http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20030828.html Butch is not a good cartoonist], although he definitely puts emotion into it.
* [[They Killed Kenny]]: Either there are a lot of Hendersons, or Butch has murdered the entire family several times by now.
* [[Thirty Minutes or
** In a later strip, he makes a "Dead in thirty minutes or you go free!" guarantee.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Everyone, including Butch. (Case in point: the "[http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20010117.html final episode].")
