Line 89:
* [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]]: Anything involving Joyce/Sal and SEMME.
* [[Punny Name]]: Whitney Howard Lesse, Ruth Lesse, Dick Lesse.
* [[Shout
** The second book has two: the title is ''Roomies! [[X Men|Giant-Sized]] [[Cerebus Syndrome]]''. The cover is a take-off on the ''Giant-Sized X-Men'' cover.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Both played straight and subverted : Joyce seems to be the only human who can stand ''[[Cool and Unusual Punishment|The Sound of Music]]'', but once the aliens realize this they show her porn instead, which [[Heroic BSOD|screws her up]] for [[Character Development|the long term]]
Line 164:
* [[Gender Bender]]: During an [[Unpredictable Results]] episode.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Danny. While talking with Sal, he mentions that he's planning to ask Billie to marry him. Sal asks if she can see the ring. His response? "Hell no. I know how this works. I show you the ring, and Billie walks around the corner."
* [["Get Out of Jail Free" Card]]: Averted: when Sal was incarcerated, she could easily have broken out if she'd wanted to, but remained because she knows she deserved it, and eventually had to escape when swept up by circumstances.
* [[Gigantic Gulp]]: The "X-TREEEM MUG!" storyline.
** Becomes a fine [[Brick Joke]]. In the last panel of the [http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20041027.html last strip] {{spoiler|we see a flash-forward of Joyce and Walky sitting together in old age - the giant mug is still right by Walky's side}}.
Line 188:
* [[Ladykiller in Love]]: Joe, first with his crush on {{spoiler|Joyce}} and then with him starting to fall for a nerdy girl in a chatroom. It sets off his character development arc, and he eventually becomes a more well-rounded person because of both instances.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: The mindwiper.
* [[Let's Wait
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: At least 90% of the characters on that page up there were introduced for or major players in this one. The [http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~carnildo/itswalky_all.html unofficial stats page] lists 247 named or otherwise identifiable characters.
* [[Locking MacGyver in The Store Cupboard]]: [http://www.itswalky.com/d/20041015.html We found Phil, the Destiny's janitor, trapped in a closet, and he helped us escape using a variety of common household tools.]
Line 215:
* [[Separated At Birth]]: {{spoiler|Sal and Walky.}}
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: Sal shooting Tony, in a [[Story Arc]] appropriately entitled "Kill Your Friends".
* [[Shout
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Dina, although {{spoiler|she sadly doesn't get a [[Beautiful All Along]] moment}}.
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: Joyce, to the point where it becomes a [[Running Gag]].
Line 222:
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Lampshaded.
* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: When Joyce uses the Power Booster Rod to attract the attention of The Wanderer after SEMME is attacked by the Britjas.
* [[Super Speed]]: Robin - she once ate over 1800 doughnuts in under an hour, in fifteen Tim Horton shops around [[Shout
* [[Super Soldier]]: The Abductees.
* [[Super Window Jump]]: Sal. Frequently lampshaded.
Line 247:
* [[Unpredictable Results]]: The Head Alien's time-freezing ray, which at first seems to just cause [[Gender Bender]] but makes reality gradually more wibbly the longer it lasts. The fact that the ray was used to freeze the Cheese, who is functionally if not literally God in the Walkyverse, may have had something to do with this.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Willis had way too much fun with Joyce and Walky's. By the time it was released it had the force of a small thermonuclear device.
{{quote| ''[[Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex|Man of steel.]] [[Averted Trope|Woman of steel.]] [[Funny Moments|Bed of Kleenex.]]''}}
* [[Unbroken Vigil]]: [http://itswalky.com/d/20010409.html Seen here.] (''[[The Sound of Music]]'' lyrics he's singing are what brought her out of it last time she was comatose.)
* [[Unrobotic Reveal]]: Alan.
Line 271:
{{quote| '''Joe:''' Am I the ''only one'' who refuses to dignify this retarded development? }}
* [[Back to School]]: [[Played Straight]]. Joyce was abducted by SEMME before she could finish college and Walky never started, so both start taking courses once the war's over. [[One-Hour Work Week|The plot never focuses on it, granted...]]
* [[Bad Job, Worse Uniform]]: Sal and her job at Pluto 9571.
{{quote| '''Sal:''' These antennae can be used as stranglin' instruments. <br />
'''Walky:''' Than we shall remain silent. }}
Line 326:
* [[Milestone Redo]]: [http://itswalky.com/d/20070910.html Hey, Sal! Yeah, college is fine...]
* [[No Dialogue Episode]]: Joyce and Walky's wedding ceremony.
* [[No
* [[No Mere Windmill]]: {{spoiler|Turns out Walky's mom's conversations with the Head Alien weren't hallucinations after all.}}
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: Machete, who doesn't carry any sort of blade.
Line 337:
* [[Rubber Band History]]: The [[Alternate Universe]] arc starts with a replay of the [[The Unmasqued World]] arc of ''It's Walky'', except Joe and Joyce are together now and Walky is nowhere in sight...and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Multiple, which resulted in the ''finale'' only being half-finished.
* [[Self
* [[Tempting Fate]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded.]]
{{quote| '''Joe:''' Everything's going to be completely different, isn't it?<br />
