History YMMV / ComicJumperTheAdventuresOfCaptainSmiley

* ValuesDissonance: This is parodied in the "Improbable Paper Pals" stage, Star eventually complains about how he's not allowed to swear, but the comic is allowed to parade around politically incorrect stereotypes, like a StrawFeminist super-villain and Paper Lad's Japanese stereotype partner. It's a pretty blatant TakeThat to the hypocrisy of the [[UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode Comic Code Authority]], which [[BloodlessCarnage didn't allow brutal violence]] or cursing, but was A-OK with stereotypes running around.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids, which reaches such disgustingly cute and [[MindScrew outright bizarre]] levels that it almost feels like a manga version of WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn.

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: After reiterating the entire first stage again with one different mid-boss (itself a reuse of one from ''VideoGame/SplosionMan''), Smiley takes on Brad in his Bradcopter and the Bradbots at once. He isn't as challenging as the previous major boss, Mutant Hehe, and after taking down his vehicle the final fistfight with him is laughably easy.]]

* TheScrappy: Gerda. The constant "Your health is now...<insert insult here>" is usually one of the main criticisms aimed at the game. Admit it, [[spoiler: when Smiley left her in the bank to die ''again'']], you delighted at the prospect of her silence. Alas she still talks afterward.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: The Manga segments. [[spoiler:Becomes a CrapsaccharineWorld after Brad's rescue.]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids, which reaches such [[TastesLikeDiabetes disgustingly cute]] and [[MindScrew outright bizarre]] levels that it almost feels like a manga version of WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn.

** Star ''hates'' Captain Smiley and [[FoeYay loves Brad.]]

* FoeYay: Star ''really'' likes Brad.
** Smiley lampshades this by telling Star that they're gonna go back to the therapist if he keeps the trope up. The developers outright state that he's not right in the chest cavity in the description of one of the bonuses.

* InformedAttractiveness: Brad is supposedly a {{Bishonen}} in Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids, with all the schoolgirls talking about how hot he is and Brad complaining about [[BishieSparkle sparkles]] and [[PetalPower rose petals]] appearing around him. However, [[http://www.twistedpixelgames.com/site_images/CJ-concept4%20%284%29.jpg he doesn't look particularily bishie.]]

* EarWorm: Twisted Pixel continue their tradition of these with style, most notably in the case of Brad's Theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5K62bt6Sw4 its braaad, braaaaad, braad]]
** Not to mention the song from Kid Cupids.
** It's quite easy to miss their song about the game's ''stats''.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Gerda when pointing out the [[CaptainObvious obvious]], not too mention informing you how bad you are at the game. ''"Captain, you have 75% health. You have less than half your health. Captain, you have less than 25% health. Stop Sucking."''

* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: Star ''hates'' Captain Smiley and [[FoeYay loves Brad.]]
** Plus Gerda (un)helpfully pointing out when your health is running low.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids, which reaches such [[TastesLikeDiabetes disgustingly cute]] and [[MindScrew outright bizarre]] levels that it almost feels like a manga version of CharlieTheUnicorn.

* ThatOneBoss: '''Mutant Hehe.''' Not only does he have a large health amount and has some pretty hefty attacks, [[spoilers:the girls' magic restore his health ''to full three times'',]] making Hehe a MarathonBoss as well.

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: After reiterating the entire first stage again with one different mid-boss (Itself a reuse of one from ''VideoGame/SplosionMan''), Smiley takes on Brad in his Bradcopter and the Bradbots at once. He isn't as challenging as the previous major boss, Mutant Hehe, and after taking down his vehicle the final fistfight with him is laughably easy.]]
