History Fridge / EightBitTheater

* How can Fighter survive a fall by blocking the ground? In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'', damage is damage. If a fighter can [[GoodBadBugs block the poison running through their veins with a shield, why not fall damage, too?]]

* Sarda mastered time magic.

* The running joke about Black Mage smelling horrible. [[FunWithAcronyms Think about what else BM is an acronym for.]]

* [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/12/23/episode-495-the-answer-is-eight/ White Mage Dooms the Universe at it's inception.]] Check out the three panels at the end.
-> White Mage: Nothing good can come of this.

Then, [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/05/19/episode-1129-there/ five whole years later]]... I am suddenly almost willing to forgive the CerebusSyndrome, on account of it having been [[MagnificentBastard brilliantly planned beforehand]]. -- {{KillerClowns}}
** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/01/31/episode-1089-special-delivery/ This strip]] was merely funny the first time I read it. Now, after TheReveal that the Onion Kid is Sarda's [[spoiler: past self]], it works on extra levels- ''this'' is why [[spoiler: Onion Kid decides to learn EPIC MAGIC]], and suddenly the line "No, that would be stupid." picks up an extra layer...
*** Not only that, but a strip later, Sarda shuts up the Onion Kid on account of "not asking you for your dull little life story." [[spoiler: Naturally, it's because he already knows all of it.]]
** Upon recently rereading 8BT, I came upon one of Red Mage's early lines after finding that Corneria's weapon shop is... well... shit. He mentions that they'd be better off fighting enemies with harsh language. Perhaps that was just a line thrown in to be funny, but when you consider how the Light Warriors do most of their fighting...
*** Black Mage does manage to make a pun that's so horrible it actually kills someone.
** You know that RunningGag, where anytime anybody says 'forever', they are about to be horribly, horrible, wrong? [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/02/03/episode-1090-not-sunny-d/ Check this out.]] ''That'' is just how powerful Sarda is - he can ''overcome the rules of the comic''.
**** You may think that [[spoiler:White Mage]] defeating the Final Boss [[spoiler:Chaos himself possessing Sarda's Body]] is anti-climatic, but it actually makes the most thematic sense of any possible conclusion. Afterall, White Mage is the real creator of the entire 8-Bit Theater universe... although accidentally. Naturally, she'll be the best one to take down the inevitable entropy of it also. Ironically, it also makes a humerous tie-over to Dissidia Final Fantasy, since the core theme of that game is Cosmos against Chaos. Or more simply a Female Creator Goddess VS a Male Destroyer God.

*** There's an extra layer of FridgeBrilliance for why he would spare them. [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/07/23/episode-1155-very-good-reasons-too/ He likens them to kittens stuck on a leaking lifeboat in a typhoon.]] Sound like a certain someone's childhood?
