* NarmCharm: Of course, the Narm is what makes this game memorable, as it does not detract from the gameplay, instead adding a quirky personality that helps to distinguish this game from other shooters and endeared a lot of people to it, guaranteeing virtual immortality via things like the Youtube Poops.

This isn\'t YMMV. Moving.


* ExcusePlot - arguably. Meen is annoyed with little bookworms who study too much and traps them inside a book. What were the bookworms doing there, why does Mr. Meen hate them so? Mystery.
** According to the scrolls found around the levels, Meen hates smart children because they scare less easily. A reason odd enough that it still counts as an excuse plot.
** I always figured that he hates smart kids because he's jealous of their knowledge, and locks them away because he doesn't want them to grow up and become more successful than him. I know a lot of people like that in real life.
** My guess was because of past traumas as a librarian. He was forced to endure [[InsufferableGenius Insufferable Geniuses]] who...just look at the WMG related to this statement.

* BraggartBoss - Meen considers himself to be the most powerful magician in the world, but seeing as he got beaten up by a little goodie-goodie armed with only good knowledge of grammar, his claim is rather hard to believe. Either he's lying or the global magic level is really low.
