3	''[[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com Occupy Richie Rich]]'' is a Website/{{Tumblr}} devoted to dissecting old ''ComicBook/RichieRich'' covers (''a la'' ''Website/{{Superdickery}}''), and eventually branched out into riffing on the stories contained within as well.

5	Tobi, the siterunner, interprets the Richie Rich universe as a CrapsackWorld where the Rich family has gained a total monopoly on every sort of product imaginable, and have created a very large gap between themselves and the poor and middle-class. Meanwhile, the family also conducts horrifying genetic experiments, including but not limited to pun-based animals and [[TheyKilledKennyAgain recreations of Richie himself]]. All this and more await within the archive of the blog.

11	* AccidentalInnuendo: InUniverse.
12	** The [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/38494640584/toasterbankpig-enjoying-that-a-little-too-much Toasterbankpig]], whose inexplicable happiness worries Tobi.
13	** Then there’s the “[[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/38983707286/terrifying-richie-rich-fetish-special terrifying]] [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/39778644772/terrifying-richie-rich-fetish-special-ii-incest richie]] [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/49129810135/terrifying-richie-rich-fetish-special-iii-invest rich]] [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/tagged/terrifying-richie-rich-fetish-special/chrono fetish specials]]”…
14	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He found [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/76042167364/okay-i-admit-that-richie-shooting-out-money-in-all a startled Richie shooting money out from all directions]] "kind of hilarious".

16	** {{CAPSLOCK}}: To the point where [[LampshadeHanging one post has the tag]] "[[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/tagged/ALL-CAPS-TAGS-FOR-ALL-CAPS-POSTS ALL CAPS TAGS FOR ALL CAPS POSTS]]".
17	* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: Lampshaded [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/38097235454/yeah-that-looks-structurally-sound here]], in regard to Richie’s dad’s dollar-sign-shaped $ky$craper.
18	--> “yeah, that looks structurally sound.”
19	** Also, the case with [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/40629853436/accidents-on-the-rich-freeways-completely a dollar-sign highway]]:
20	--> "Accidents on the Rich Freeway’s completely extraneous S-curve kill over 30 people every year."
21	* AscendedFanon: [[invoked]]"[[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/53799442195/bill-iards-is-not-meant-to-be-played-its-just-a-prop attn readers, the Rich family having five warehouses full of used pun props is now Occupy Richie Rich canon.]]"
22	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The "Terrifying Richie Rich Fetish Special" posts are generally jokes about the AccidentalInnuendo caused by the [[{{Pun}} godawful puns]] on the cover: [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/39778644772/terrifying-richie-rich-fetish-special-ii-incest Richie and his mother being in a romantic relationship]], [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/56381388095/terrifying-richie-rich-fetish-special-iii-leg-men Leg Men of the Dead]], and so on. [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/68278016940/richie-rich-new-cartoon This one]], however, is a spam submission that appears to be the Richie Rich Wikipedia page and some sort of actual fetish material thrown into a Markov chain generator.
23	* BystanderSyndrome: [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/42872052460/its-too-bad-everyone-lives-in-mortal-fear-of-the One cover]] has Richie drawing a great many dollars from an ATM, prompting a nearby man to comment "Heh, heh! That's got to be '''''[[BoldInflation Richie Rich!"]]''''' Tobi elaborates on this:
24	--> "'It’s too bad everyone lives in mortal fear of the Rich family’s financial leverage, or I might try something crazy like picking up some of those bills to help in my ultimately futile struggle to put food on the table for my children.'"
25	* CerebusSyndrome: [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/46534545542/ok-this-is-issue-10-of-richie-rich-and-jackie This page]] comments on an apparent example in the source material wherein the story arc suddenly shifts from bad money-related puns to nuclear war.

30	* CrapsackWorld: PlayedForLaughs.
31	* CrazyPrepared: Richie himself. When a cover does a KitchenSinkIncluded joke:

33	* DeadpanSnarker: Tobi. Example from [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/81423073346/yeah-dont-keep-an-eye-on-the-roast-or-add-spices this scene]] from "The Ghost of Rich Castle".
34	-->'''Chef Pierre:''' ''(driving away from Rich Castle)'' I will return when ze food is '''ready''' for ze '''serving!'''\
35	'''Tobi:''' Yeah don't keep an eye on the roast or add spices or anything, just drive off and watch some TV or something until the roast readies itself to be served. Pro chefing.

53	* HeroicBSOD: Tobi's reaction to the official Richie Rich Song stating that Richie could "buy New York if he gets the itch" was to merely write "god is dead" in the tags.

[[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/44735134899 One]] in particular prompts a GIF of [[Advertising/NeverSayNoToPanda a panda trashing an office]].

65	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While the blog is about comedic exaggeration of the Riches' behaviours, the author notes that they're not actually supposed to be villains, and points that out with the [[https://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/43434074118/okay-breaking-character-here-because-damn-artist following comic.]]

71	* RunningGag:

91	** [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/44569095671/the-shocking-origin-of-rupert-murdoch Another post]] shows Richie and Jackie making a wealthy Frankenstein's Monster, labelled "the shocking origin of [[UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch rupert murdoch]]".
