* DemonicSpiders: ''Flame. Thrower. Dwarves.'' Getting past even ''one'' is beyond difficult, and fighting ''more'' than one is a LuckBasedMission.
** Unless you wait until their back is turned and send green minions onto 'em. Can't flame the enemy when the enemy is perched on your face, stabbing you in the gas tank. Heh heh heh...
** Or unless you use the fire-immune red minions to distract them. Fighting two at once is still fairly hard.

* {{Narm}}: Kahn, during his whole GetBackHereBoss routine, dragging out the fight with horrible dialog. He tried to do PunctuatedForEmphasis, but it wasn't really coming from his balls; rather it sounds like his diaphragm is where his adam's apple should be.

* UglyCute: The Minions. Rose and Velvet even give them the charming nicknames of "Cherubs" and "Pixies" respectively. Visually fearsome to the point of hideousness. But they make the most adorable sounds that two metal objects scraping together can evoke.
** To hammer the point, the minions are a cross between E.T. and the cuter moments of Sméagol. They can look downright adorable, for example with the sequence in the tutorial of the second game where the minions disguises themselves as children, then they begin to sing...
* MostWonderfulSound: If you don't get a little happy every time one of your minions says "For Da Overlord!", "For Da Master!", or just plain "For you!", then you have no soul. (Which would normally be a good thing for an EvilOverlord, but not in this case.)

** The Ruborian Bombers are either this or GoddamnBats, depending. Once you get to them they go down pretty quick, but ''until'' you get to them they'll be cheerfully lobbing grenades on Minion-pulverising strength at you and your little guys.

** The Sand Worms! It's impossible to kill them without using Blaster Beetles, they can kill dozens of minions at a time and they have incredible reach so even if you're not in the sand, you'll still likely lose a few minions to them.
