* AlternativeCalendar: The calendar of Angondardii has twelve months like normal, but they have [[Advertising/MonsterCereals Janbuberry, Febbuberry, Count Chocula]], Hoag, Maryfeather, Beatrice, [[Fergie/Music Fergalicious]], Sexstilus, Virgison, Dree Monday, Senendu and Solistice

** In season 3, he gets a magic tattoo that allows him to summon a longbow [[spoiler:- made out of the bones and tendons of his forearm.]]

* DiscoStu: Mortimer's party outfit is a be-mirrored lounge suit and star-shaped, pink-framed, mirrored shades.

* CuttingTheKnot: When Grinderbin encounters Bonesy at Castle Ticklepuss, Bonesy has important information to tell him, but -- being a skeleton that doesn't have lungs -- he cannot succinctly communicate this. Initially Grinderbin plays charades with him to try and guess what Bonesy needs him to know... until Mortimer arrives on the scene, and bypasses the issue by giving Bonesy a pen and paper to write what he means.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: To steal a magic amulet, Mortimer is snuck into a royal vault beneath a linen-covered service cart. Jack didn't have the graphics for a service cart at the time the episode was recorded, so Mortimer represents the cart and the cart is drawn over him in post. The amulet is guarded by [[MrFanservice shirtless, ripped-muscle men in denim shorts known as "Himbos"]]. When all the Himbos get distracted by the DeliciousDistraction placed atop the cart, all of them surround Mortimer -- at which point the players start remarking that it strongly resembles the classic pornography trope of an oblivious character being flanked from behind by a number of male porn actors.
* DontMessWithGranny: Kalandra Ticklepuss is an extremely powerful magic user. She manages to hold her own against a platoon of guards, and treats being set on fire like a painful annoyance. She's also quite old, and Jack Packard gives her a very "crotchety old woman"-type voice.

* {{Expy}}: Prince Chessurick Thathird II for Prince Charles.

* RaceFetish: Prince Chessrick is absolutely smitten with Dabarella; entirely because she's a Tabaxi.

** Sebastian Piss gives tattoos that allow the summoning of weapons [[spoiler: made out of the bearer's flesh, bones, and tendons]], but "the price is pain." Id12 damage per +weapon level to get the tattoo, and 1d8 for the TransformationSequence. The Religeon Check Siggy whiffs implies that Piss is some kind of Evil entity; meaning that Sigmar made a Warlock Pact with him.

* BlatantLies: Mortimer's bardic instrument is "The Power of Lies." He's able to cast powerful spells by telling absolute whoppers, like "I'm 60 feet tall and also the Queen of England!"

** He gets his right arm messily ripped off in a TeleporterAccident at the end of Season 2

* BoxedCrook: The party wakes up in the back of a paddy wagon, and is shortly told they have to raid a dungeon as punishment. We're never told what they did, but it's implied (by Mortimer's hangover) that drunken shenanigans were involved.

* HumanWeapon: Sigmar jokingly calls himself this in S3E8, [[spoiler: and then actually becomes on in S3E10, when his other arm becomes a Meat Bow thanks to an arcane tattoo given to him by a mysterious man named Sebastian Piss]].

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Sigmar gets his hand torn off in a TeleporterAccident while trying to tear off a manageable chunk of King Fuzzyhug's massive platinum heart]].

* {{Expy}}: Prince Chessurick III; II for Prince Charles.

* TheGreatOffscreenWar: Apparently the kingdom is in semi-open war with the Flora- and Fauna-Folk; at least according to Egolier.

* RaceFetish: Prince Chessuick is absolutely snitten with Dabarella; entirely because she's a Tabaxi.
* RageBreakingPoint: [[spoiler: Egalier has one, albeit into total frustration rather than rage, when Sigmar and Grinderbin tell her that they helped free one of Latavia's daughters, after telling her that Latavia might be coming straight for Castle Sasha]]

* TheMagocracy: Only the Nobility has any magic in human society, and even then, it comes from some kind of MagicalAccessory.

* TheMagocracy: Only the Nobility has any magic in human society, and even then, it comes from some kind of MagicAccessory.

* TheMageocracy: Only the Nobility has any magic in human society, and even then, it comes from some kind of PowerTrinket.

* {{Familiar}}: As of S3 E1, Dabarella gets Toast Cinnamon Buns, a living gingerbread man decorated as a wizard, as a familiar. Sigmar is somewhat creeped out by Toasty's excessive cheerfulness, while Mortimer immediately jokes about eating him for lunch before Dabarella points out that Toasty is sentient.

** One NPC is a guy cursed into the form of a shovel, but it's ambiguous whether he's still conscious. It should be noted that said shovel glows like a Christmas tree when viewed through Detect Magic.

* SidekickCreatureNuisance: Dabarella's familiar has a shrill, grating, nails-on-a-chalkboard voice. Mortimer takes one look at the little bugger and immediately proposes ''eating him,'' while Sigmar is highly uncomfortable with him getting into his personal space.

* HumansAreWarriors: The Human Kingdom is noted to have entirely subsumed the elven nation, and driven the dwarves into a LandOfOneCity. There is also tension between the human, flora-, and fauna- folk nations.

* OffTheRails: During one of the sessions, the party takes a moment to visit general store-owner Bread and talk about the weird skeleton friend he has. They manage to uncover the identity of Bonesy (he's [[spoiler:the previous king long thought to have disappeared]]) when that's not the party's immediate nor long-term goal. Once the group concludes they need more evidence, Jack Packard admits that he wasn't expecting they'd be going this direction during the current campaign.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Dabarella, in episode two, shouted the tongue-twister "How many yeets would a yeetster yeet if a yeetster could yeet yeets?" when performing a feat of strength. It hasn't come up ever since.

* Ingesting Knowledge: Latavia Ticklepuss's slime servant Oob eats memories, especially happy memories, which it brings back to "Daddy" Latavia, as a way to deal with the isolation of banishment.

* SimpletonVoice: Dabarella is noted to have a low INT score, and Amy gives her a childish voice you'd expect frpm someone half her age and/or size.

* Sim0letonVoice: Dabarella is noted to have a low INT score, and Amy gives her a childish voice you'd expect frpm someone half her age and/or size.

* SecretKeeper: Grunderbin knows what [[spoiler: Mortimer]] really is.
