* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler:Trillian and Wowbagger]], {{justified}} by the fact dark space amplifies emotions.

* OlderThanTheyThink: This isn't the first ''[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxyTrilogy The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy'' novel that wasn't written by Creator/DouglasAdams. Creator/TerryJones wrote a novelization to ''VideoGame/StarshipTitanic'', a spin-off game based on events mentioned in ''Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything''.

* OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight: At least a significant portion of the Creator/DouglasAdams fans out there were not at all satisfied with this book. Creator/EoinColfer at least acknowledges this at the start of the book, in a roundabout way not unlike most of Adams' trademark [[SeinfeldianConversation Seinfeldian Side Stories]]: the [[TrilogyCreep five of three results]] given for typing "[[BigBookOfEverything The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]" [[LogicBomb into the book itself]] (which is an analogy for the five stories by Adams) are described as "[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxyTrilogy -a lengthy article]] [[ArchivePanic accompanied by many hours of]] [[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1981 video]] and [[Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1978 audio files]], [[Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy and some dramatic reconstructions]] [[AllStarCast featuring quite well-known actors]]." ''Then'' it lists [[DamnedByFaintPraise a text-only appendix at the bottom of the screen]] (obviously Colfer's entry) "[[SoOkayItsAverage -with absolutely no audio, and not so much as a frame of video shot by a student director who made the whole thing in his bedroom and paid his drama soc. mates with sandwiches.]]" - before admitting "[[SelfDeprecation This is the story of that appendix]]"

* DudeNotFunny: There is a line in the book that references Ford Prefect puffing and panting after running a short distance, followed by the joke that "Writers are not used to that kind of exercise". Douglas Adams, the series' progenitor, died of a heart attack he sustained while working out.
