THRILL as Mew loafs around the house! GASP as Mew chases a mouse and then has a nap!

* The threat of Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, has been built up since issue #1. In issue #2, Squirrel Girl gets a suit of Iron Man's armor to go to the moon to stop Galactus. In issue #3, Squirrel Girl keeps trying to get to the moon, but gets distracted by Whiplash and a bank robbery, until ''finally'' she gets to the moon and stands face-to-foot with Galactus. It's built up as an epic battle: the Power Cosmic vs. the Power Chestnut! And then, issue #4 rolls around and....
* ..the first page is Squirrel Girl standing on top of a defeated Galactus saying "Well, that wasn't so hard." And then the letters page! And a note saying all the rest of the pages are blank! (They weren't and they actually do explain how Squirrel Girl defeated Galactus, but still: it was ''hilarious''.)
* Doreen starts out trying to physically punch Galactus into submission. [[spoiler: She is shocked when it has no effect, since it [[LampshadeHanging seems to work every other time.]]]]
* Pretty much every word out of Galactus' mouth, but especially him calling Thanos a tool and laughing as Squirrel Girl mentions she beat him up.
* Issue #5. No one being held hostage in the Statue of Liberty has ever heard of Squirrel Girl, but they all make up stories about her anyway. Two words: Bass Lass.

** First mentioned in an AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering bit at the beginning of Issue #7, discussing an Asgardian evil which has descended upon Earth:
--->'''Doreen:''' There's one person who'd know about it.\\
'''Nancy:''' Who?\\
'''Doreen:''' I'll give you a hint: you write fan fiction of the feline version of him, and I totally know where he works.\\
'''Nancy:''' Oh my god. Of course. '''Cat Th--'''\\
'''Doreen:''' (''talking over her'') '''[[ComicBook/{{Thor2014}} Thor]].'''
** When Nancy gets the chance to be taken to Asgard to see if they can find a solution regarding the menace with Thor and [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Odinson]], she starts asking about how cats are regarded in Asgard.
** Issue #8 opens with a page of Cat Thor comics.
** Finally, Loki asks Nancy if he could impersonate someone for her, and before Odinson can object, she demands Cat Thor. He obliges, [[ItAmusedMe much to Odinson's annoyance]], and continues inflating his Cat Thor head as the comic progresses.
-->'''Thor:''' Loki, I know there is some good in you. Undo what you have wrought. Help us repair the beast's cage.\\
'''Odinson:''' Also, I know thou art making thy stupid cat head bigger only to annoy me.\\
'''Loki:''' Oh, does this annoy you, Odinson? Does ''my new regular head'' annoy you? Because this is my new regular head forever now.
* [[http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/156/514/original/Squirrel_Girl_Howard_the_Duck_Erica_Henderson_Promo_Image.jpg This picture]] for the crossover between this title and ComicBook/HowardTheDuck. If not for the two cosplaying as each other, then for the picture of Spider-Man say "Cosplay as me by being wracked with guilt!", playing on the ''thousands of pictures'' of Spidey cosplayers grieving over bodies of Uncle Bens... or holding boxes of Uncle Ben rice and grieving.
* In issue #1 of the relaunch, the narration has these gems:
-->"I was gonna say the mom is being a drag here for not assuming this [jumping out of a fiery building] is safe, but Squirrel Girl never actually told her that "leaping hecka far" is one of her powers, so--good work, mom. You are a sensible mom, and you only want the best for your child."

-->"DID YOU KNOW: 'badonk' is slang for 'butt'? And 'butt' is slang for 'buttocks'? And 'callipygian' is a for-real adjective that means 'having nice buttocks'? Look at you, just trying to relax with a talking squirrel comic and instead learning how to say, 'My word, what a callipygian badonk!'"

-->"Actually, some tree species rely on squirrels stealing their nuts, burying them, and then completely forgetting where they're buried! This allows the trees to spread far and wide. THERE, now you know some squirrel facts ''and'' some "fancy words for butts" facts! I'd ''sincerely'' like to see each issue of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' do ''that.''"
** Doreen is rather chipper about finding out that she's not fireproof while trying to rescue people from a burning building.
-->'''Tomas:''' Also, we found out we're not fireproof.\\
'''Doreen:''' Also we found out we're not fireproof, ''yeah!'' That's actually really excellent information to know!
** While Tomas is talking to Tippy-Toe, a woman passing by gives him a very confused stare.
** "Doreen is medically ''and legally'' distinct from being a mutant, and I can never take this back."
*** And the doctor who made this discovery was named Dr. Ditray--a tip of the hat to Squirrel-Girl creators Steve Ditko and Will Murray, as well as a great follow-up to the reveal of how Doreen got her name.
** Maureen's pregnancy with Doreen was apparently quite eventful:
-->"Also, the doc couldn't say for sure whether it was the squirrel bite or the cosmic rays in the forest or the experimental nut serum or the radioactive tree or ''what'' that caused the changes."
