* WordSchmord: In ''Thy Dungeonman'', if you write "Get ye flask", the screen will say, "You can't get ye flask! I'm certainly not gonna tell thou. Graphics s[c]hmaphics... for sooth!"

* ABloodyMess: Although getting ketchup from the sandwich shop in order to disguise yourself as the hag's deceased husband, it turns out to be a subversion since the "ketchup" is actually ''fake'' fake blood. Eating it [[HaveANiceDeath will end in unpleasant results]]

* TheWallsAreClosingIn: ''Thy Dungeonman 3'' has walls of [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]] that smash the character if they are not stopped [[spoiler:with the convenient bone lying around]] before 12 turns have elapsed.

* YouCantGetYeFlask: TropeNamer, although it's more attributed to the original e-mail since the first game's message doesn't quote this verbatim. You can get ye flask in the first game if you type it in three times, however, the dungeon will collapse on you and you'll die. In ''Thy Dungonman 3'', this forms the basis of the plot. [[spoiler:You wind up getting ye flask in the end]].

* [[PressXToDie Type 'Die' to Die]]: In every game except the third, using the "die" command will cause you to do just that, complete with [[LampshadeHanging "That wasn't very smart."]] This command also works in VideoGame/PeasantsQuest.

* SophisticatedAsHell: The text in the games combine YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe with modern slang, leading to phrases like "Thou art hilariously dumb" and "Ye totally has the plague.".

* ImAHumanitarian: If you take too long to escape from the Fat, Fat Friar's cauldron or you return to his monastery after escaping, he'll become closer to being the Fat, Fat, ''Fat'' Friar

* HaveANiceDeath: There's only three ways to die in the first ''Thy Dungeonman'', [[note]]Trying to grab the rope, getting ye flask ([[RuleOfThree on the third attempt]], or [[PressXToDie using the command "die"]][[/note]] whereas the other two have quite a few messages for instances where you die.

* BackAlleyDoctor: ''Thy Dungeonman 2'' has the Saw Doctor. When the player gets the plague, you can see him to have it "sawed off". He also gives you a sucker for being a good patient, which you can use to explode the Dongrel that's disguised as a sous chef.

->What wouldst thou do?

* CoversAlwaysLie: Parodied. For the first game (as seen on the page image), there's a cover with the title character holding a dagger. You never get to use one, [[spoiler:although you do get points for typing "get dagger" owing to the box art]].

* CoversAlwaysLie: For the first game (as seen on the page image), there's a cover with the title character holding a sword. You never get to use one.

* FatBastard: The Fat, Fat Friar, particularly when you try to abscond with his ham

* BondOneLiner: "This may kill ye a little", [[spoiler:as you kill the Dongrel towards the end of the game. Because this was also Percy's line, he appears out of disgust and tries to kill you because of it.]]

* NamesTheSame: One puzzle in ''Thy Dungeonman 3'' has you go to a certain pub and seek out a man named Kigalonian. Several people go by that name in the pub, so choosing the incorrect Kigalonian can kill you.
