* LethalChef: Bodie tries to impress Julie, an actual professional chef, by trying to cook dinner for the two. He knows it's going to end badly when he manages to make a bowl of macaroni and cheese ''literally explode.''

* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: Any member of the cast that's in a relationship (or not, in the case of Lance) is implied to be having a good sex life. Averted in the case of Anny, whose boyfriend travels a lot, and Kane, who is perpetually unlucky in love.

** Also required when Kane manages to get himself locked in a sound booth at a recording studio, so he can speak to Anny on the other side.

[[spoiler: It [[SpringtimeForHitler backfires spectacularly.]]]]

* MagicalAsian: Like many [[AsianIndex Asian]] [[RaceTropes tropes]] in this comic, it's subverted.

[[[MundaneMadeAwesome with the power of bubble tea.]]

* EyesAlwaysShut: Steve.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Apparently iRate and Killer Queen stopped a [[http://www.ypcomic.com/index.php?id=194 national crisis]] when they fixed Kane's computer. The storyline that was connected to it was deemed to out of left field to actually be included so it was dropped.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lance, as an openly gay teenager, was bullied mercilessly throughout middle and high school. [[spoiler: He also had a bad breakup with a long-term boyfriend that put him off of serious relationships.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Bodie, as illustrated by [[http://www.ypcomic.com/index.php?id=33 this]] strip.

AltText: Sometimes the alt text is just the title of the comic, but there's a witty comment buried there once in a while.
