Line 24:
* [[Cargo Ship]]: Elan×Banjo Puppet, Haley×Sack of Gold and possibly Roy×His Sword.
* [[Complete Monster]]
** Xykon is an unusual [[Evilly Affable]] case. He enjoys a good joke, and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds because he finds it good fun. And sometimes he [[Dude, Not Funny|stops being funny]]. Particularly in the prequel ''Start of Darkness''. After reading Xykon's origin story, anyone who thinks that a narcissistic, megalomaniac sadist like Xykon might be redeemable is delusional. Note that while he's [[Laughably Evil]] a lot of the time, he and the devastation he causes are treated seriously, so he still fits the trope criteria.

Line 64 ⟶ 63:
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Strips #823 to #830: The entire most recent arc of Team Evil so far, includes (within seven strips) {{spoiler|the recovery of the phylactery by the resistance, the summary total annihilation of the resistance (save one member) and recovery of the phylactery by Team Evil, the outing of Redcloak's plan by Tsukiko and Tsukiko's subsequent [[Family-Unfriendly Death|(gruesome)]] death at Redcloak's hands.}} Holy Shit.
* [[Internet Backdraft]]
** For a good time, mention Miko Miyazaki on
** Fans also began developing a hatedom for Haley's father Ian for his inaccurate assumptions on the Order of the Stick and his daughter's role in it.
* [[Jerkass Dissonance]]: You could argue that Therkla was treated very sympathetically considering her actions. This is obviously meant as an example of [[Love Redeems]], but she didn't exactly know Elan to any depth and on a closer reading it comes across more like "Unrequited Lust Somehow Redeems". She was happy to kill other Azurites or members of the Order unless he asked her not to, out of loyalty for an ambitious and clearly evil aristocrat. Wanting Elan to leave Haley to be with her wasn't a particularly noble motivation; one wonders if her attraction would be seen as more romantic or creepy if the genders were reversed.
