* DarkAndTroubledPast: One of the comics is a countdown of everyone's dark pasts. Manny's (unrevealed) past leaving him with a debt to repay, Lewis murdered by his friend, Manolo DrivenToSuicide to [[TogetherInDeath be with his beloved]], Sir Daniel dying to the first arrow of war, and Jack... [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers can never find clothes that fit him.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In one comic, Manolo sets up TheSwearJar, in which anyone who swears has to put money in. When asked what happens if the jar is full, he responds, "Um... I'm not sure. I guess the money could be used for whatever." Cue everyone else swearing like sailors to get the jar filled up as quickly as possible.


Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: One comic starts out with typical funny Bonehead antics where Papyrus accidentally knocks Brook's head off and is shocked the latter can "survive" that. Then we cut to Sans having a panic attack, [[TraumaButton as the sight of a decapitated skeleton brings back memories of Papyrus's death in the Genocide Route]].

Added DiffLines:

* AlasPoorYorick: Putting on a performance, Lewis, Brook, and Jack [[LosingYourHead hold their own heads]] [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas to recite Shakespearean quotations]]. Though they recite the "To be or not to be" soliloque rather than "Alas, poor Yorick".

-->'''Lewis:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, you're SO abused.]]\\
'''Jack:''' I'd like to see all the funny looks YOU get for asking for a size -4.
* DirtyOldMan: Even in the land of the dead, Eighty-Eight-year-old Brook is still going to ask women if he can see their panties. It's because of this bad behavior that Jack lied to Brook about the existence of Sally or why he doesn't want to bring him to Halloween Town.



* PungeonMaster: Brook is ever fond of his Skull Jokes.

to:

* FlamingHair: Lewis' burning pompadour. More than once it's been the source of a gag, from accidentally setting Manolo's hair on fire to being transferred to Sir Daniel.
* LosingYourHead: A common trick for skeletons in this setting. Lewis, Jack, and Brook quote ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' with their skulls in one skit. This talent takes Sans and Papyrus completely by surprise since they ''can't'' just take off their heads.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Papyrus has a complete FreakOut when he knocks Brook's head off with a weighted ball, convinced he had killed him by accident until Jack and Brook calm him down.
* OnlySaneMan: Manny has his skull on the straightest of everyone in the afterlife. He's usually the one to do the mature thing to correct a current problem.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Lewis doesn't like sharing his past with the others. He'll dodge questions and change the subject constantly. This means that no one knows what might upset him. The rest of the Boneheads are left confused as to why Brook's conversation so angered Lewis. They think it might have to do with Brook's Skull Joke, but in truth it was because he was talking about caves(like the one Lewis was murdered in).
* PungeonMaster: Brook is ever fond of his Skull Jokes. And then you have the more versatile Sans coming along.
* SirSwearsALot: Normally everyone is pretty clean with their language, but when Manolo sets up TheSwearJar and they get to choose how to spend the money, all of the other Boneheads turn into sailors.
-->'''Manny:''' F*** it, I'm in.\\
'''Brook:''' Yohohoho! Count me the f*** in, too!\\
'''Jack:''' Oh s***, would you look at that? Guess I have to put money in, too.\\
'''Daniel:''' F*** YAH!!\\
'''Lewis:''' (Oh for f***'s sake...)



-->'''Manolo:''' THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR YOU ALL TO SWEAR MORE!

* TheSwearJar: Manolo sets up a swear jar for the bar because he doesn't approve of foul language. When asked what to do with the money once the jar fills, Manolo admits they could do whatever with it. All of the Boneheads start swearing and break out the cash. [[spoiler:They donate the money to Papyrus.]]

[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers can never find clothes that fit him.]]
* EarWorm: Lewis starts pestering Jack by singing "Spooky Scary Skeletons" to his irritation. In retaliation, Jack starts playing "Let It Go" on his phone. Lewis panics since he only ''just'' got that song out of his head before [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere making a run for it]].
* PungeonMaster: Brook is ever fond of his Skull Jokes.
* {{Trigger}}: Two of the Boneheads have a bad reaction to seemingly innocent moments.
** Lewis attacks Brook because he was telling a story about a cave. Lewis was murdered in a cave.
** Seeing Brook [[LosingYourHead with his head popped off]] makes Sans see [[spoiler:an image of Chara killing Papyrus]].
