History WebComic / TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: {{Inverted}} - [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/05/16/pants-like-no-one-is-watching Queen Beetle's one of the few superheroes]] who's [[DeathIsCheap never had to come back from the dead.]]

* CanonImmigrant: Fantomah is no expy. She's the genuine article, either the very first (or possibly the second) superheroine in all of comics history- and he characterization is spot-on.

** Wonderella and Hitlerella. Their fights are [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/26/beware-the-ides-of-arch compared to sex]] - "You never stick around after our fight any more", "I want someone who will be there when the police turn up" and so on.

* UnPerson: The "[[http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/20/the-some-of-all-fears "Some Asshole initiative"]] would seek to do this to mass shooters - instead of an expose and speculation on why they committed the crime, they'd just be called "Some Asshole", with a bucket of chum standing in for their photo.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/19/gorilla-sky Shark versus Ape!]

* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/11/08/lady-and-the-vamp Vampire bats make better plushies]] than ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' plushies.

** In 2014, Justin Pierce re-released "[[http://nonadventures.com/2014/03/29/rhapsody-in-booze Rhapsody in Booze]]" with [[Franchise/StarWars Jabba the Hutt]] in place of Wonderella, claiming this better matched his "creative vision".

* CarFu: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/10/13/the-wrong-arm-of-the-law She doesn't even remember her own strength]]!

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In an obvious riff on ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', Wonderita [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/06/04/soldier-of-misfortune uses an ID card to go to a monster's home]].

** [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/01/06/various-aged-regular-ninja-persons And ninjas]]!

* MayflyDecemberFriendship: ''Very'' literal case of this happens when Wonderella feels sorry for a mutant mayfly who's depressed because it found out it will die only a day after it was born--minutes ago--[[http://nonadventures.com/2014/06/14/girl-fly-day and spends the day with it to make it feel better]] .

** Briefly played straight when she gets "[[http://nonadventures.com/2011/09/02/das-reboot relaunched]]".

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/19/gorilla-sky Shark versus Ape]]!

* {{Pun}}: Many examples. A French supervillain who can split herself into three people? ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perestroika Paris Troika]]''.

''[[http://nonadventures.com/ The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]'' is a parody of the Creator/DCComics character Franchise/WonderWoman and many superhero tropes in general. It focuses mainly on the mundane parts of the life of Wonderella, a lazy [[TheLadette Ladette]] superheroine who demonstrates [[PunchClockHero little interest in being a hero]]... or, in fact, doing anything much outside of partying, getting completely wasted, violence, and shopping. She is super-strong, super-durable, she can't fly but she can "totally jump hella high", [[FlightStrengthHeart when tied up she can hork up a giant octopus]], she can [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/28/balance-of-flower/ tell plants to die,]] and she can [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/26/power-couple/ curl up in a perfect ball when traumatized.]] She also has a rarely-used invisible blimp, and the tendency to make prejudiced remarks (especially about gay men, but pretty much every minority group gets a turn).

* ACupAngst: Mentioned in passing a couple of times, and the driving motivation for [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/08/31/infinite-chest/ this strip]].
* AnAesop: Even villains must help [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/23/trading-braces/ teach children lessons]].

** ''[[http://nonadventures.com/2010/04/03/easter-pussycat-kill-kill/ EASTER Pussycat Kill Kill]]''The rabbit was meant to be the least scary thing on this page, but somehow the opposite happened.

* AnthropomorphicTypography: The strip [[http://nonadventures.com/2017/03/18/sequential-thwart/ "Sequential THWART"]] involves Wonderella and Wonderita getting teleported into the realm of anthropomorphic numbers. They solve a mystery involving [[SixIsNine number Six stealing Nine's identity]], find out the hard way that [[MouthfulOfPi reciting the digits of Pi]] is the local religion, and [[HurricaneOfPuns drop as many math puns as possible]] along the way.

** The [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/21/family-matters/ latest]] [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/28/led-astray/ comics]] were slightly [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wonderella2009-03-28-138-aprilfools.jpg tweaked]] for 2009.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: The AltText in [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/02/04/sister-extract/ this strip]], after magic is dismissed as nonsense:

** In another strip, Wonderella explains to some villagers that "[[https://nonadventures.com/2010/03/13/a-broom-of-ones-own/ Witches are FAKE]], like unicorns, or [[EskimosArentReal narwhals]]!", after a leprechaun sends her back in time. [[spoiler:Of ''course'' she's wrong about the witches]].
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/01/27/everybody-in-the-club-gettin-gypsy/ Wonderella gets turned into monster size and attacks the city]].

* BatDeduction: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/04/16/another-mine-mess/ The Quizzicle]] is counting on Wonderella to make one of these. Even the AltText notes how there was a fatal flaw in that plan from the very beginning.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: And here you thought Rita's only personality trait was being TheDitz. [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/09/18/sidekick-effects/ Think again]]!

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: {{Inverted}} - [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/05/16/pants-like-no-one-is-watching/ Queen Beetle's one of the few superheroes]] who's [[DeathIsCheap never had to come back from the dead]].

* BringMyBrownPants: [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/02/13/premature-evacuation/ Premature EVACUATION]]: Devlin says he had a "pants accident", but he means he JizzedInMyPants.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/14/monster-mashup/ This]] would be an example where the hero said something like that...if Dana qualified as a hero.

'''Devlin:''' Er, I'm Devlin. You drove us off a cliff and nearly ''killed'' me [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/02/09/old-flames/ last year]], remember? Hell, we got ''married'' [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/17/burning-love/ two years ago]]!\\

* ButterflyOfDoom: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/03/10/daylight-savings-crime/ Daylight Savings CRIME]].

* CallBack: Frequent. For one example, [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/02/22/three-dog-nixon/ when Nixon is cursed by an ice elemental]], Wonderella suggests they build a snowman...with results that apparently occur [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/12/20/snowman-is-an-island/ "every frickin' time."]]

* CareBearStare: The actual stare from ''Franchise/CareBears'' turns out [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/09/12/the-barren-stain-bears/ to have bad effects]].

** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/07/23/the-long-con/ here]]:

** When [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/07/courting-favor/ acting as Firebrand's attorney]], she insists she's qualified because she's seen the first half of every ''Series/LawAndOrder'' episode. With only the occasional rare exception, the first half of every episode of that show focuses on the cops tracking down the suspect, with the trial beginning in the ''second'' half.
* ContinuityNod: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/07/what-would-doobie-doobie-do/ "The Easter Bunny doesn't exist!"]] "Gasp! What about Santa?" [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/23/jesus-christ-super-hero/ "Sure, 'til I killed him!"]]

* CrossoverCosmology: Lampshaded in [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/25/jesus-christ-super-hero-part-2/ the end]] of the SavingChristmas two-parter; then later, with [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/30/fjord-escape/ the Norse]].
* CurseCutShort: When Wonderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/11/28/nick-at-nightmare/ appears on children's television]].

* CursedWithAwesome: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/05/17/asp-hat/ Any blade that Rita touches now becomes dull as a river-washed stone. This includes blades attacking her]].
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Invoked [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/07/25/villain-dollar-baby/ here]] upon Wonderella's disappearance, but Hitlerella immediately gives it all up when she returns.
* CutenessProximity: Turns out the best counter for Kitlerella (the catverse version of Hitlerella) is to bring the human Hitlerella over and let her [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/06/11/dramatic-paws/ gush all over her.]] Who knew?
* {{Cyberspace}}: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/11/17/melanin-colleague-and-the-infinite-sadness/ Wonderella saved it from whitespace sites trying to take over]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: As with [[ButtMonkey everything]] [[TheWoobie she does]], Jokerella [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/02/05/joke-and-mirrors/ screws this up]]. Although Hitlerella also had her own embarrassing DarkerAndEdgier stage.

** In ''The Non-Adventures of Wonderella'' he's a straightforward Darkseid expy, although PlayedForLaughs. His attempts to conquer Earth are undone by bizarre shenanigans, like [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/11/04/bound-for-vengeance/ Wonderella vomiting a giant octopus onto him]], or [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/10/16/quote-of-arms/ his getting distracted by arguments over billboard punctuation]].

* DealWithTheDevil: [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/03/03/ Wonderella learns a harsh lesson in avoiding this]].
* DeathGlare: [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/25/jesus-christ-super-hero-part-2/ Jesus Christ gives one]].

* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/08/24/breaking-baud/ Wonderella Sr. did an old video promoting the web]], which included a message about this trope... [[TotallyRadical in rap form]].

** Creator/{{Universal}} [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/04/28/flapper-keeper/ forbade]] Rita from asking a flapper to go "Franchise/BackToTheFuture" with her and Dana.
** When Santa Claus came back from the dead to seek revenge against Wonderella, [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/12/29/ill-be-doom-for-xmas/ she locked him in the Disney Vault]].

* DoNotAdjustYourSet: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/06/04/immaculate-reception/ Hiterella takes over Wonderella's TV signal]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/26/beware-the-ides-of-arch/ Being an archnemesis]]. Seems it requires lots of dedication and the unspoken agreement to limit torture and captivity to a single heroine (or her plucky sidekick). The heroine, by herself, is bound to listen her nemesis' villainous rants and, after beating her nemesis, stay there until the police comes. Connect some dots...

* DrugsAreBad: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/01/24/doobie-druthers/ Parodied. Beer and cigarettes are the way to go]].
* DudeNotFunny: Wonderella calls this on herself when [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/02/13/meet-the-beetles/ she sees Queen Beetle looking depressed]]:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hitlerella is outraged by people having to [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/11/23/an-american-retail/ work on Thanksgiving]]. She also [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/05/16/doom-goes-the-dynamite/ doesn't like]] people using the "R-word". So yeah, Hitlerella's sense of ethics is rather...eccentric. As has been [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/28/anti-monitor/ duly lampshaded]].

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/16/the-death-of-wonderella/ Parodied with everyone laughing over Wonderella's double laying dead on the ground]].

* FlatEarthAtheist: Dr. Shark, as established [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/03/26/shroom-at-the-top/ here]]. Also lampshaded in the AltText [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/02/04/sister-extract/ here]]:

** Wonderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2017/06/03/foul-ball/ drops two more]] when she finds out that Hitlerella had stolen Hitler's right testicle.

** Wonderella and Hitlerella. Their fights are [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/26/beware-the-ides-of-arch/ compared to sex]] - "You never stick around after our fight any more", "I want someone who will be there when the police turn up" and so on.
** During Hitlerella's DarkerAndEdgier [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/02/05/joke-and-mirrors/ phase]], Wonderella certainly seemed to appreciate the assless chaps. Then again, knowing [[HeroicComedicSociopath Wonderella]], it could easily be for [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten the limitless blackmail material they give]].

** Also seen between Wonderella and Plunderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/05/26/the-curse-of-plunderella/ here]].
** There's also Hitlerella's reaction to [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/02/outrageous-fortune/ Wonderella ranting about Hamlet]].

* GilliganCut: "[[CatchPhrase S O O N :]]" This is used no matter the amount of passed time during the cut itself, be it a few minutes, [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/12/18/highway-to-the-manger-zone/ thirty years]] or [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/09/27/one-more-deity/ time travel]].

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Reversed in [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/14/mortally-gingered/ this strip]]. When Wonderella tells an over-the-top story about her day, the part that Wonderita questioned...was Wonderella baking.
** The next comic has Hitlerella capture her, imprison her somewhere far away, and force her to watch the destruction of New York City by atom bomb over a satellite feed. What grinds Wonderella's gears? [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/28/anti-monitor/ Well...]]

* TakenForGranite: Happens to Dana in one strip, and it's even the [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/07/17/taken-for-granite/ title of that installment]].
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: The geeks pull this off [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/05/geekret-wars/ here]] by criticizing the Overseer's choice of superheroes and trying to hone in on the action.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In "[[http://nonadventures.com/2006/11/11/guess-whos-coming-to-dinner/ Guess Who's Coming To DINNER]]". Tim Allen is apparently too spicy for [[strike:[[ComicBook/XMen Galactus]]]] [[CaptainErsatz Ginormus]].

* TruthSerums: Hitlerella discovers that injecting a CloudCuckooLander like [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/01/11/fountain-of-truth/ Wonderita]] with one is a bad idea.
* UnPerson: The "[[http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/20/the-some-of-all-fears/ Some Asshole initiative]]" would seek to do this to mass shooters - instead of an expose and speculation on why they committed the crime, they'd just be called "Some Asshole", with a bucket of chum standing in for their photo.

* ILoveNuclearPower: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/14/monster-mashup/ Parodied and subverted]] with one-third GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke.

* MayflyDecemberRomance: ''Very'' literal case of this happens when Wonderella feels sorry for a mutant mayfly who's depressed because it found out it will die only a day after it was born--minutes ago--[[http://nonadventures.com/2014/06/14/girl-fly-day/ and spends the day with it to make it feel better]] .

* PositiveDiscrimination: Queen Beetle, the black female superheroine, who is intelligent, well-mannered, and has a functioning moral compass--very much in contrast with the lead.

** "[[http://nonadventures.com/2012/03/10/electric-bugaboo/ Electric BUGABOO]]" is one of Franchise/{{Superman}}'s "electricity powers" DorkAge.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each strip is titled with a purposely terrible pun. "Daylight Savings CRIME", "Mostly ARMLESS", "Bad to the CLONE", etc.

* {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s: Of other DC characters, referred to only by first name. [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/30/a-flash-of-despair/ Aquaman]]. [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/08/11/itty-bitty-bang-bang/ Ant Man]]. [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/12/13/the-dark-psych/ Batman]]. {{Captain Ersatz}}es of Marvel characters occasionally appear, too.

** During Hitlerella's DarkerAndEdgier [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/02/05/joke-and-mirrors/ phase]], Wonderella certainly seemed to appreciate the assless chaps. Then again, knowing [[HeroicComedicSociopath Wonderella]], it could easily be for [[NeverLiveItDown the limitless blackmail material they give]].
