Line 38:
* [[Hellish Horse]]: The dreaded [[Incredibly Lame Pun|manless horsehead]] of [[Shout-Out|Sleepless Hallow]].
* [[High-Class Glass]]: Lord Hannover Haukin's monocle.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]
* [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Magellan, Count Flistagga.}}
* [[Inept Mage]]: Wodehed. Not that he doesn't actually have magical abilities, but he can't use them with any consistency. He does get a great moment in the third book {{spoiler|by calling the Kraken.}}
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: Queen Varicose.
Line 61:
* [[Rule of Cool]]
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Spindrick Sylver's pseudonym "Drickspin Revsly".
* [[Sidetracked Byby the Analogy]]: One of the anarchists ruins his threat to blow the city to Kingdom Come by pointing out that "Kingdom Go" would be more accurate, since "things aren't coming, they're going, right up in the air".
* [[Shout-Out]]: By the third book, they're coming at the rate of about two per page. Most obviously, the original Sylver is [[Robin Hood]] and his descendant is [[Sherlock Holmes]].
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Rosencrass and Guildenswine, and both generations of the Herk and Bare lines.
* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: in Thunder Oak an trick was used unsuccessfully by nine ferrets in a human-sized suit of armor.
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: How many of the preteen target audience are going to get references to ''[[Hamlet]]'', ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' and ''[[The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Literature)|The Rime of the Ancient Mariner]]''? And said target audience is too old for it to be a [[Parental Bonus]] ..
* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: Averted - there's a psychotic cult of hedgehogs, a brigand gang of moles, an evil zombie badger, and a murderous lemming. And the heroes are weasels, and there's a friendly and very civilised society of sewer rats.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: "Lillie" Longtree.
* [[Who's Onon First?]]: The unfortunate result of Spindrick's [[Day of the Week Name]] code-naming.
* [[Wicked Weasel]]: Both played straight and averted; weasels are good, their close biological relatives stoats are bad.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Nonstop.
