Line 79:
* [[Author Avatar]]: In the DVD commentaries, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick have said whenever they're stuck on the writing, they create a pair of characters loosely based on (and frequently voiced by) themselves. #21 and #24 are the Ur-example; others include Watch and Ward, the Moppets and the Lepidopterists.
** Of course it has been suggested that [http://i.cdn.turner.com/asfix/repository/8a25c3920eaf5fa6010eafac52fc00ef/thumbnail_2152.jpg Pete White] looks suspiciously like [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Doc_Hammer_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg Doc Hammer], and they share a love of 80's electronica.
* [[Author Filibuster]]: Possibly a subversion, but: the season four episode had two (Pro-Choice and Anti-Vegan/Vegetarianism) for the price of one, when now [[Imaginary Friend]] 24 delivers a tangent about the "truth" about souls: everything
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: A common source of humor in regards to many of the [[Zeerust]] devices.
** Jetpacks. "My shoe is on fire!"
Line 92:
** Brock, in the first episode, after getting shot with hundreds of The Monarch's henchmen's tranquilizer darts, getting run over by the Monarch Mobile, and buried.
** {{spoiler|Henchman 24}} returns in season four as an Obi-Wan-esque ghost. In the season four finale, {{spoiler|it is revealed that he wasn't a ghost at all, but just 21's wishful hallucination}}.
* [[Badass]]: Brock Samson, to the point of [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruction.]]{{context}}<!-- How does this character deconstruct this trope? -->
* [[Batman Gambit]]:
** Brock Samson does this to the Monarch and OSI, tricking them into fighting each other.
Line 495:
* [[The Men in Black]]: Mr. Doe and Mr. Cardholder.
* [[Mind Screw]]: The Christmas Special. It's a dream within a dream within a nightmare and when Dr. Venture wakes up from it, his legs are gone and the four of them are in Bethlehem.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: As near as it can be told, {{spoiler|the Mighty Sovereign, David Bowie}}, as well as Jefferson Twilight.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Nearly omnipresent. Rusty's mother is never even referred to, Hank and Dean's mother left right after they were born {{spoiler|on account of maybe being taken to a mental institute}}, and Triana's mother left her husband for another man.
