| 1 | ''D.L.D.'' is an unpublished comic series made by yours truly. What started out as a series of simple ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' fancomics when I was 9, turned into an actual series with loads of characters, crazy plots, and [[RapidFireComedy two or three jokes a page.]] |
| 2 | |
| 3 | In a nutshell, it's a cartoonish HorrorComedy. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | In a more detailed explanation, the comic follows the adventures of three siblings; LovableAlphaBitch D.D., DeadpanSnarker Luke and InsufferableGenius Dexter. And yes, D.D. and Dexter are from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' (with their personalities exaggerated to absurd levels.), while Luke is an AuthorAvatar (one of two; I'll explain that later). Together, they form a group called [[FunWithAcronyms D.L.D.]], which solves various supernatural cases, for just 42 Euros per client! The [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters of the week]] range from vampires, werewolves and zombies to man-eating sofas, soul-sucking ice-cream, haunted girls' bathrooms and the such. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | [[WMG: This comic, with its 24 year run, has used many tropes, including, but not limited to...]] |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * AbortedArc + CosmicRetcon + StoryReset: 373 episodes have been erased from existence - both in-universe and out - so the series could start over from episode 120. Thus a lot of the characters and plots are no longer with us... at least until I put everything they way it was after a week or two. |
| 10 | * ActOfTrueLove: Well, sort of. When Veronika found out from Victoria (who can predict the future) that all the characters will be killed of and replaced with new ones, she decides to stop that from happening, but changes her mind when she finds out that among those new characters will be a guy who will help one of her other sisters get over her dead fiancee (Veronika didn't know she and the others will later come back to life, but still let things take their course). |
| 11 | * AerithAndBob: The series mixes English names (Dexter, Lisa, Sally,...) with Croatian names (Veronika, Klara, Mirela,...) |
| 12 | * AgeInappropriateDress: This is the basis for the episode ''You're Getting Old!''; Bludweiser and Sally realize they're too old to dress how they dress; him in goth/emo clothes, and her in {{Stripperific}} outfits. They seek help from Vicky and Veronika; Vicky gives Bludweiser a minor makeover, after which he decides to go by his real name - Christopher. Sally, however, has Veronika make her a potion that would not only make her 10 years younger - which is 22 - but also to keep her that way forever. She later finds out that the effects of the potion wear off whenever she has sex, so being the [[ReallyGetsAround promiscous]] woman she is, she decides to face aging with dignity, and wear a simple tracksuuit... but she still remains promiscouos. |
| 13 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Happens to a lot of people: |
| 14 | ** Lisa's crush on Ammy goes unnoticed by the latter. |
| 15 | ** Luke's crush on Prescott never got beyond that, given that Prescott is [[PosthumousCharacter dead]] and was [[IncompatibleOrientation straight]] when he was alive. |
| 16 | ** Tina is in love with Luke and frequently stalks him, but that's all there is to it. |
| 17 | ** Klara and Yoko fought for Thompson's affections, but he ended up with Maiya, so the two of them were left high and dry. |
| 18 | * AlliterativeFamily: The 15 Oštrić siblings have names that begin with V; Veronika, Vivien, Vicky, Victoria, Vladimir, ... |
| 19 | * AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: Back in the old days, the D.L.D. had to deal with a killer stone wall, KillerRabbit, killer donuts, donuts that ''make'' you kill, killer Barbie doll (and later a killer teddy bear), killer snowmen, the sofa and the ice-cream mentioned above, and so on... |
| 20 | * BadHumorTruck: The episode ''Evil Ice Cream'' not only features an ice-cream man who sucks the souls of his customers through his ice cream, but also an ice cream monster. |
| 21 | * BetterThanABareBulb: Lampshade hanging by the motherload. |
| 22 | * BloodierAndGorier: Only in BloodyHilarious form; if there's blood, chances are something un-serious is the cause of it. |
| 23 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: One example would be when Metropolis Newz reported how the D.L.D. fought vampires, werewolves and vampire werewolves. |
| 24 | * TheBusCameBack: Several such cases, in which characters were PutOnABus, only to come back after a looong time: |
| 25 | ** Dr. Kvasimodo's assistant Lucy's last appearance was in episode 50, only to reappear in episode 134. |
| 26 | ** Klara and Damjanka, along with Stella, had their first appearance in episode 117. Both Klara and Damjanka became part of the main cast later on, with Stella seemingly forgotten. They mentioned her in episode 140, but she finally returned in episode 489. |
| 27 | ** Prof. Smartttypants appeared somewhere in the first 40 episodes, then returned in episode 493. |
| 28 | ** Rex, the evil alien, had his first appearance in episode 79, and returned in episode 494. |
| 29 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: A rare non-villainous version: |
| 30 | -->'''Woman:'''D.L.D.! How great it is to see you again! |
| 31 | -->'''D.D.:''' Again? |
| 32 | -->'''Woman:''' You know, you rescued me and the tenants of our building from those zombies? Everybody almost died? |
| 33 | -->'''D.D.:''' ''(stares blankly)'' |
| 34 | -->'''Woman:''' Nothing? |
| 35 | -->'''D.D.:''' Look, lady, the day you and your tenants were attacked by zombies was the scariest day of your lives... but for us, it was Tuesday! |
| 36 | * CannibalClan: The ParodyEpisode of the film ''Gnaw'', titled ''Gnaw Gnaw Gnaw Burp!'', has the D.L.D. and their friends encounter a family of cannibals. |
| 37 | * CastFullOfGay: There is one confirmed gay character (Luke), one asexual character (Dr. Apartheid), seven lesbian characters (Lisa & Ammy, the Lady in Grey & the Lady in Lightgreen, Kittenwoman & Ally Lizzen, and Lucy) and one bisexual character (Zoë). |
| 38 | * CastHerd: The first cast was divided into duos (Mee-mee & Lee-lee, Lisa & Ammy, Death & Satan, etc.), trios (D.L.D., S.G.T., the Hugwartz gang, [[TwoTeacherSchool the staff of D.L.D.'s school]], etc.), and quartets (the League of Extraordinary Villains). The second cast simply mashed all the newbies together. |
| 39 | * ClipShow: Every x90th episode is a clip show, or at least a comic book version of one: |
| 40 | ** Episode 90 has Creator/OprahWinfrey host D.L.D.'s clipshow where they're the guests who provide commentary for the clips. It ends with Oprah going crazy and the D.L.D. killing her. |
| 41 | ** Episode 190 has the D.L.D. host their clipshow, but ends with their rivals the S.G.T. who use the opportunity to release their tell-all book detailing every horrible thing the D.L.D. has done, causing the D.L.D. to lose their job to the S.G.T. |
| 42 | ** Episode 290 has the characters reminisce previous episodes while being stuck for the who-knows-how-many time in the Demented Dimension. |
| 43 | ** Episode 390 is the S.G.T.'s HostileShowTakeover wherein ''they'' host their own clipshow with their commentary. |
| 44 | ** Episode 463, ''Luke + Tina'', is a clip show dedicated to the relationship between Luke and his stalker Tina, from when we first met Tina in episode 49, to now, when they're kinda-sorta friend-ish. |
| 45 | ** Episode 490 is a collection of the sexiest and most {{Fanservice}}-y moments of the series. |
| 46 | * ComicBookTime: Averted; the characters get older every year. |
| 47 | * ComingOfAgeQueerRomance: In the episode ''Medusa's Film/BrokebackMountain'', while Medusa is terrorizing Hugwartz, Luke and Zarry Mopper discover a mutual attraction. |
| 48 | * CrackPairing: |
| 49 | ** ''Krazy Kouples'', a ValentinesDayEpisode dedicated to crack pairings, has these temporary couples: |
| 50 | *** Ammy & Principal Dummydoor |
| 51 | *** Principal Peterson & Ricky Smithins |
| 52 | *** Gina & D.L.D.'s dad |
| 53 | *** Lee-lee & Dr. Apartheid |
| 54 | *** Dr. Kvasimodo & Sylvia |
| 55 | ** The SequelEpisode, ''Krazy Kouples 2'', had these pairings: |
| 56 | *** Thompson & Sylvia |
| 57 | *** Damjanka & Principal Dummydoor |
| 58 | *** Lona & Charmaine Ladis |
| 59 | *** Klara & Dexter |
| 60 | *** Marion & Tina |
| 61 | * CrisisCrossover: In ''Never Say D.D.'', a giant flood forces the D.L.D. and a bunch of cartoon characters to seek refuge on D.D.'s ark. What follows is: |
| 62 | ** D.D. reads [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Frankie's]] diary and reveals Frankie is in love with Mr. Herriman. |
| 63 | ** WesternAnimation/BenTen in one of his alien forms attacks everybody and is put to sleep, so now he's Ben 9. |
| 64 | ** WesternAnimation/BettyBoop keeps seducing everybody. |
| 65 | * DarkerAndEdgier: Subverted. Yes, there's swearing, gore and sex, but only in the form of PrecisionFStrike, BloodyHilarious and NakedPeopleAreFunny. |
| 66 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 67 | ** ''Vampires Can't Buy Me Love'' - While the D.L.D. are on vacation in France, Lisa & Ammy have to defend the city from a horde of vampires. |
| 68 | ** ''Zarry Mopper and the Cookies of Death'' - Zarry and Meina must uncover an evil plot of Girl Scouts who sell poisonous cookies. |
| 69 | ** ''Zarry Mopper and the Secret of the Secret Pot Stash'' - Just as principal Dummydoor allows marijuana in Hugwartz, an inspector named Bellafux Lesyay comes to the school, and Zarry and Meina must search for a mystical pot stash. |
| 70 | ** ''Evil Villainy for Dummies'' - The League of Extraordinary Villains want to join the United Villains, but first must prove their worth. |
| 71 | ** ''Failemont'' - In a ParodyEpisode of MTV's ''Valemont'', Sally accidentally gets into a college for vampires. |
| 72 | ** ''The Laughable Mermaid'' - Yoko and Zhao-Len discover an underwater mermaid kingdom. |
| 73 | ** ''The 99-year Old Virgin'' - Principal Dummydoor is dating [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West.]] |
| 74 | * DenserAndWackier: At first, the series used typical horror monsters like werewolves, zombies, ghosts, etc. As the years went by, the supernatural cases involved stuff like a robot with Hitler's brain, an evil living dakimakura (anime body pillow), pop stars battling in HumongousMecha, and so on. |
| 75 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: |
| 76 | ** In ''Monster High School High'', it's implied Klara and the Witch God (who is a giant humanoid with a goat's head) had some sort of relationship in the past. In the end, the two are eating ice-cream while having casual conversation. |
| 77 | ** Luke is seen having drinks with [[AdorableAbomination Female Stu]] (a female version of the EldritchAbomination from the Demented Dimension; she looks just like her male counterpart, except with a pink bow and lipstick). |
| 78 | * DoubleMeaningTitle: The 500th episode, ''Here To Stay''; it refers to the Demented Dimension, which no matter how many times it gets destroyed, it still remains, but to the series as a whole. |
| 79 | * DownerEnding + GainaxEnding + EverybodyDiesEnding: All of these tropes apply to episode 120, ''They Luke'd Up and Screamed''; Luke attemmpts to kill the entire cast so he could take over the comic and make it better. Unfortunately, things do not go well, as everybody (including Luke) dies under a collapsing building and gets KilledOffForReal. In the next episode, we are introduced to a new cast of characters, a new D.L.D., and everything seems just fine... until the old cast rises from their graves and they are not happy with their replacements... |
| 80 | Thanks to the CosmicRetcon mentioned above, all of this was reversed and nullified. |
| 81 | * EldritchLocation: The Demented Dimension: It's a vast desolate desert-like world where everything is in one color (which randomly changes), and is home to weird bug-like creatures. And let's not forger the resident... |
| 82 | ** EldritchAbomination: A giant worm-like monster. It's as big as a skyscraper. It has millions of tentacles. And also, ''30 mouths''. Later on it turns out there's more of them, though in different sizes. |
| 83 | ** The episode ''How the Demented Dimension Came to Be'' reveals the Dimension is actually a PatchworkWorld GoneHorriblyWrong made by a team of [[MadScientist mad scientists]] and all its residents and monsters are the result of mutations and inbreeding. |
| 84 | ** SexTourism: ''Sex in the Demented Dimension'' has the D.L.D., with no other option to make money, open the Dimension to straight women and gay men who are willing to pay money to have sex with the Dimension's locals, who don't care about the gender of their partner. |
| 85 | ** HorribleHollywood: One episode reveals Marvel Studios is filming the latest ''Avengers'' movie in the Dimension, not just because it's the perfect location for a Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movie, but also because it's a way to save money on special effects. |
| 86 | ** Finally, in ''Decay of the Demented Dimension'', as the Dimension is breaking and falling apart, Dexter, Dr. Apartheid, and Dr. Kvasimodo work together to restore it and put it back together. In the end, they set the color to black and white ("Just like this comic!"), which is why it's then renamed the Dull Dimension. |
| 87 | ** At the end of ''Hit Landfill'', the M.V.M. (a group that functions as a GuardianOfTheMultiverse) completely destroy the Dimension, so it doesn't bother anyone again. |
| 88 | ** The milestone 500th episode ''Here To Stay'' not only brings the Demented Dimension to its former state, but some other stuff as well... |
| 89 | ** Here's a handy list of buildings that were built in the Dimension: |
| 90 | *** A tourist agency |
| 91 | *** A mall |
| 92 | *** Apartment buildings |
| 93 | *** The aforementioned Marvel film studio |
| 94 | *** A fun theme park (Dementeddimensionland) |
| 95 | *** A hospital for the residents of the Dimension, which is run by Mee-mee |
| 96 | * EpisodeOfTheDead: The episodes ''Zombie day'', ''[[Film/MarleyAndMe Zombie & Me]]'' and ''Dial A for AAAAAA!''. |
| 97 | * EscalatingPunchline: A variation occurs when in one episode, Dexter is running away from a mad gardener who wants to kill him. First they run on foot... then on unicycles... then on bicycles... then on tricycles... and then they're in a car, looking utterly confused. |
| 98 | * ExpyCoexistence: Some time after the episode ''Anti-Hogwarts'' was made, which introduced Zarry Mopper, principal Dummydoor and the rest of the Hugwartz gang, the episode ''Fantastic Beasts and where to Kill Them'' had the D.L.D. travel to the actual [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hogwarts]] to, well, kill some fantastic beasts, and even interact with some of the Hogwarts characters. |
| 99 | -->'''D.D.:''' ''[while flying past Ron and Hermione]'' Hermione loves Ron! |
| 100 | -->'''Hermione and Ron, in unison''': WHAT?! |
| 101 | * {{Fanservice}}: If the scene can be spiced up with fanservice, it WILL be. Heck, during 2011-2012 there was so much ClothingDamage and PantyShot, the series was practically {{Ecchi}}, though this has since died down. |
| 102 | * FantasyKitchenSink: We've got witches, ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, aliens, mad scientists, all in the same place. |
| 103 | * FutureMeScaresMe: The episode ''Stories from the Future - Part 2'' in which the D.L.D. are visited by their 13-year old selves who have traveled from the past (namely, Part 1 which was made 10 years earlier). The younger D.L.D. were not happy with the [[DarkerAndEdgier many]] [[HotterAndSexier changes]] over the years and attempted to go back in the past and make sure to change the future, only to have their memories of the encounter erased. |
| 104 | * GagSeries: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged.]] At first it was fairly light, then became more and more sillier to the point of absurdity, now throwing in some seriousness to all that sillyness. |
| 105 | * GenderBender: In the episode ''Horrors in the Girls' Bathroom'', a ParodyEpisode of the {{Hentai}} games [[https://www.somethingawful.com/hentai-game-reviews/water-closet/ Water Closet]] and [[https://www.somethingawful.com/hentai-game-reviews/xchange/ X Change]], the haunted girls' bathroom turns Luke into a girl, though this only lasts for that one episode. |
| 106 | * GuardianOfTheMultiverse: The M.V.M., which stands for Minor Viewers of the Multiverse. They observe what happens through the universes, and the group is made of Blue Luke (from the Blue Dimension), Lucy (from the Opposite Gender Universe) and Daisy Davenport (from the alternate version of Metropolis, River City). |
| 107 | * {{Hellhound}}: ''Dog Walker; Taxing, Raging'' had D.D. be a dog walker for such a beast. |
| 108 | * {{Horrorscope}}: One episode had Anisha write the horoscope for the school website on a magic computer that made the predictions true in very literal ways. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | -->'''Taurus:''' ''Don't lose your head.'' |
| 111 | -->''[Marcy's head flies off her neck]'' |
| 112 | -->'''Gemini:''' ''Don't rock the boat.'' |
| 113 | -->''[Hunter and Day are hit by the Titanic in the middle of the school hallway]'' |
| 114 | |
| 115 | It ended with the horoscope being removed from the website because, according to the editor, kids were more interested in stuff like Instagram celebrities "like Kylie Jenner and others." |
| 116 | * ImprobablyFemaleCast: 30 females, 15 males. |
| 117 | * InconsistentEpisodeLengths: The episodes can be anywhere from 2 to 20 pages long, depending on the story. The number of panels per page is also inconsistent; it started with 25 panels, then 20, now it's 16 panels per page. |
| 118 | * IntraFranchiseCrossover: |
| 119 | ** ''Lavaman's Crossover'' is a crossover episode between this ''D.L.D.'' and ''DarthWiki/DLDNewSchool''. Mainly it's about how Lavaman returns to Earth from space, and the D.L.D. send him via portal into the ''DarthWiki/DLDNewSchool'' universe, so he becomes their problem. |
| 120 | * KidHeroAllGrownUp: The D.L.D. started out as nine-year olds and are now in their 30s. |
| 121 | * LighterAndSofter: The series often becomes less HorrorComedy, and more supernatural comedy, though this [[CerebusRollercoaster inconsistently fluctuates.]] |
| 122 | * TheLostLenore: |
| 123 | ** Vicky's dead lover Georges Blanchard, whom she was engaged to back when she was in Paris with her family in 1919. Sadly, both of their families were against the relationship, and it all ended when Georges was hung for having an affair with a witch, while Vicky and her family fled. Vicky is still not over him, and even speaks GratuitousFrench as a way to hold on to the memory of him. |
| 124 | ** Luke's dead crush Prescott, a tragic case of IncompatibleOrientation. Their relationship was the center of these episodes: |
| 125 | *** ''The Long-ass Goodbye'' (in which Luke helps Prescott's ghost get back to his grave; their trip is intercut with flashbacks showing their friendship) |
| 126 | *** ''Greetings from Lower Ann'' (a case in the titular town where Prescott is buried has the D.L.D. go there, with Luke being forced to confront the ghosts from the past) |
| 127 | *** ''One More Long-ass Goodbye'' (short remake of the above episode) |
| 128 | *** ''Broken off Chalk'' (parody of the MindScrew comic ''Streak of Chalk'', in which Luke is stranded on an island where he inexplicably finds Prescott) |
| 129 | *** The "[=LukeScott=]" {{Arc}}, inspired by ''Series/WandaVision'', in which Luke uses a magical wishfulfilling stone to create the perfect sitcom-like reality with him and Prescott, but other characters keep interfering. |
| 130 | *** ''Greetings from Lower Ann'' (short remake of the eponymous episode) |
| 131 | *** ''Son of Prescott'' - In a case of SomeoneToRememberHimBy, Luke meets Prescott's and his girlfriend Emma's son, Blake. Luke even offers to babysit Blake, but... |
| 132 | -->'''Emma:''' This isn't going to be like ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'' where you fall in love with my son? |
| 133 | -->'''Luke:''' What?! Oh, gross! He's 7 years old, 'the Hell is wrong with you?! |
| 134 | In the end, Luke babysits Blake, but keeps seeing Prescott everytime he looks at him, to which Emma assures him that the same thing happens to her. |
| 135 | ** ''Eurydice and Lenore'' is a whole episode dedicated to lost love and moving on, as it focuses on Luke and Vicky, and their respective Lost Lenores. |
| 136 | * MayflyDecemberRomance: |
| 137 | ** The relationship between 428-year old Veronika and regular human aged Walter. |
| 138 | ** Also, the relationship between Veronika's 229-year old sister Vicky and regular human aged Bludweiser. |
| 139 | * MetaFiction: The series breaks the fourth wall in almost every episode, in every way imaginable and unimaginable, since the characters are aware they're in a comic book. |
| 140 | * MilestoneCelebration: |
| 141 | ** ''[[Music/ChristinaAguilera Kids Gotten Badder: A Decade of Shits]]'' - The 10th anniversary special; the D.L.D. remember their "Most ____ Moments" and the episode ends with them committing suicide. |
| 142 | * NegativeContinuity: All over the place, even though characters make references to previous episodes (even calling them such); the biggest example would be how anytime someone dies, they come back later as if nothing happened. |
| 143 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The episode ''Robotic Lesbian Vampire Cheerleaders from Mars''. They're [[RobotGirl robot girls]]... who are lesbians,... who suck blood... and they're cheerleaders... and they come from Mars. |
| 144 | * NoFourthWall: None whatsoever. Characters refer to previous events as "several episodes ago", frequently interact with the Author, and do stuff like hit each other with their word balloons, skip in and out of panels, snark about the episode's quality, and so on. |
| 145 | * NonFatalExplosions: For example, in the episode ''Witchslap'' when an explosion occurs, and the only damage made to Veronika and Tina is their hair got messy and their clothes are slightly charred. |
| 146 | * OccidentalOtaku: |
| 147 | ** Dr. Kvasimodo, Sylvia and Luke are seen at an anime convention at one point, where Dr. Kvasimodo was cosplaying as Asuna from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' and Luke was cosplaying as Naru from ''Literature/GhostHunt''. |
| 148 | ** Thompson, who indulges in GratuitousJapanese and uses anime titles as exclamations (e.g. "Manga/AhMyGoddess!" and "What the Manga/{{Hellsing}}?!") and Yoko, who likes {{Cosplay}} so much, she converted her big sister's entire room into a closet for her cosplay outfits when the latter moved out. |
| 149 | * OneSteveLimit: There's Darla, the hyperactive fat girl from the second cast, and Darla, the HotWitch from the third cast. |
| 150 | * OnlySixFaces |
| 151 | * OutOfGenreExperience: ''A Normal Episode!'' is about Luke helping D.D. with her history homework (the next part, ''A Typical Episode!'' is about the same thing, except it involves brain juice that not only makes you smarter... but also turns your brain alive). |
| 152 | * PerspectiveFlip: |
| 153 | ** ''Series/MySuperSweetSixteen : Exiled in Metropolis'' has spoiled brat Katy Katherine sent to Metropolis by her parents in order to learn hardship, by way of the city's craziness. |
| 154 | ** ''All Roads Lead To Metropolis'' deals with two lost out of towners who stumble upon Metropolis and all its craziness. |
| 155 | * RageAgainstTheAuthor: The characters openly hate their Author. |
| 156 | * RandomEventsPlot: There's not much that holds ''Dial A for AAAAAA!'' together, though it's mostly how Mee-mee's birthday party is ruined by a horde of zombies, wit some unrelated nonsense inbetween. |
| 157 | * RealityIsOutToLunch: Used literally in the episode ''When Reality Falls Asleep'' in which Reality is depicted as a woman who must be awake at all times, lest everything falls apart. When she is allowed to take a nap, all kinds of goofy and bizarre things start happening. |
| 158 | * ReincarnationRomance: Back in the 90s, Dr. Apartheid knew a man and a woman who were in love. When the man died, the woman was so struck with grief, she killed herself. They were reborn, but in a subversion of this trope, they were reborn as Luke and his crazy stalker Tina, thus making the romance one-sided |
| 159 | * RevolvingDoorCasting: Characters come and go, but the craziness stays: |
| 160 | ** The first cast - episodes 1 - 120. |
| 161 | ** The second cast - episodes 121 - 163 |
| 162 | *** At this point, the two casts got mashed together, until episode 514. |
| 163 | ** The third cast - episode 515 - now. |
| 164 | * RippedFromTheHeadlines: Real life events like the 2009 swine flu or the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis appear in the comic. |
| 165 | * {{Retcon}}: Let's just say that thanks to this being unpublished, I can make any AssPull, press the ResetButton and retcon all I want, and leave it at that. |
| 166 | * RuleOfFunny: Used in every way possible [[SurrealHumor (and impossible).]] |
| 167 | * SadisticChoice: Parodied and PlayedForLaughs in ''I Would Rather Not'', a ParodyEpisode of ''Film/WouldYouRather'': |
| 168 | -->'''Drek Lamebrick:''' Ms. Lisa, would you rather put your hand in an aquarium full of piranhas or eat a plate of cold spaghetti? |
| 169 | -->'''Lisa:''' Uh, spaghetti. |
| 170 | -->'''Drek Lamebrick:''' ''[to himself''] Nobody ever picks the piranhas. |
| 171 | -->''[Later]'' |
| 172 | -->'''Drek Lamebrick:''' Mr. Kvas, would you rather hold your breath in water for 2 minutes or have sex with Creator/PamelaAnderson? |
| 173 | -->'''Kvas:''' ''[AsideGlance, then cut to him having sex with Pamela]'' |
| 174 | -->'''Drek Lamebrick:''' What am I doing wrong? |
| 175 | * ScrewYourself: In ''Blast to the Past'', Luke from 2015 ends up in 2011 where he meets his past self. It doesn't take long for the two Lukes to make wild passionate love, and once it's all over, one of them had this to say: |
| 176 | --> Well, that was interesting. If Tina had seen this, her head would have probably exploded! |
| 177 | * SerialEscalation: The whole series started out as a simple horror comedy, but as it progressed, it got more and more silly, ridiculous and just plain nuts, to the point where the early episodes and current episodes are as different as day and night. |
| 178 | * SelfDeprecation: Every once in a while, a character would bitch about how the episode sucks, the comic sucks, the Author sucks, and sometimes all three (with many variations). |
| 179 | * SequelEpisode: This sextology: |
| 180 | ** ''Weirdest Episode Ever!'' - Luke is menaced by a flying vanilla donut. |
| 181 | ** ''Weirdest Episode Ever Strikes Back!'' - The D.L.D. must solve a case involving vanilla donuts that when eaten turn people very violent and aggressive. |
| 182 | ** ''Weirdest Episode Ever for Breakfast!'' - A nearby motel is menaced by vanilla donuts that appear out of nowhere. |
| 183 | ** ''Weirdest Episode Ever Gets Sexy!'' - the League of Extraordinary Villains turn four vanilla donuts into sexy women who will seduce and kill the D.L.D. |
| 184 | ** ''Weirdest Episode Ever 55: Donuts VS Buns'' - A local bakery becomes a battlefield between living vanilla donuts and vanilla buns. |
| 185 | ** ''Weirdest Episode Ever 666: Lesbian Witch Bakers'' - The titular bakers turn out to be nice and kind. |
| 186 | * ShoutOut: Too many to list, but let's try anyway! |
| 187 | ** In ''L.A. Flaw'', the League of Extraordinary Villains' new robot looks very, um... phallic, which leads to an exchange between the characters just like the one in ''Film/AustinPowers''. |
| 188 | ** ''Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf'' opens with this: |
| 189 | -->'''Luke:''' Family, I'm dying... |
| 190 | -->'''Family:''' GASP! |
| 191 | -->'''Luke:''' - to tell you I got us a new TV! |
| 192 | -->'''Family:''' Ahh. |
| 193 | -->'''Luke:''' But I will be dead. |
| 194 | -->'''Family:''' GASP! |
| 195 | -->'''Luke:''' Because they'll kill me for stealing this joke from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
| 196 | -->'''Family:''' Ahh. |
| 197 | -->'''D.D.:''' Don't worry, it wouldn't be the first time we stole a joke! |
| 198 | ** ''Airline Ammy'' gets its title from ''Airline Amy'', a Music/WeirdAlYankovic song. |
| 199 | ** ''Ghosts & Goblins VS Vampires & Werewolves VS D.L.D. + Lisa & Ammy'' features a random cameo of a goblin version of the ComicBook/FantasticFour who get smushed by a ''Creator/MontyPython'' 16-ton weight. |
| 200 | ** At the end of ''Radioland Morons'', Luke defeats the bat monster by biting its head off, a reference to when Music/OzzyOsbourne bit the head off a bat. |
| 201 | ** Thompson's LaughingMad when possessed by the supermaket ghost in ''Horrors in Aisle 13'' is a direct reference to the laughs seen in the ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' anime. |
| 202 | ** In the ParodyEpisode of ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion2008'' featuring Luke's clones, titled ''Awesome Invasion'', this exchange between Thompson and Luke's clone no. 14: |
| 203 | -->'''Clone:''' Now, both of you say goodbye! |
| 204 | -->'''Thompson:''' No, don't take Yoko, take me! |
| 205 | -->'''Clone:''' I'm gonna kill you both, didn't I make that clear? |
| 206 | -->'''Thompson:''' Yeah, I just wanted to quote ''Harry Potter'' before I die, you see, I liked it before I started getting into anime, and with what's been going on with J.K. Rowling, I - ''[gets zapped]'' |
| 207 | ** ''Dreamwalking on Sunshine'' is a whole shout-out to a key plot point in ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness''; mainly it's about Vicky, Luke and Tina using dreamwalking to be with their respective loved ones (Vicky with Georges, Luke with Prescott and Tina with Luke). It ultimately ends with Veronika destroying the book used for dreamwalking, and the final scene shows Vicky, Luke and Tina bitterly eating ice-cream in an ice-cream shop while Engelbert Humperdinck's "A Man Without Love" plays in the background. |
| 208 | * ShowWithinAShow: Luke draws his own comic called "Kitty Basketball", about cute cats who, well, play basketball. |
| 209 | ** RefugeeFromTVLand: |
| 210 | *** After drawing the comic on a magic piece of paper, the cats get out of the comic and become real. |
| 211 | *** In a WholePlotReference of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeFionnaAndCake'', the cats become real again and Luke has to save them from being erased from existence by going on a trip through the Multiverse. |
| 212 | * SlayingMantis: Yes, the D.L.D. had to fight one of these, too. |
| 213 | * SpeechBubbleCensoring: Used in a BreakingTheFourthWall gag. One episode had Sally, Zoë and Darla naked. Hot and skinny Sally and Zoë were shown uncensored, while fat girl Darla's body was covered by her speech bubble, to which she complained. She even tried to remove it, but to no avail. |
| 214 | * SpeechBubblesInterruption: Used in CurseCutShort instances; a character would let out a curse with another character's speech bubble containing their name cover the curse: |

| 217 | -->'''Jane Goldman:''' Marvin! |
| 218 | ** |
| 219 | -->'''Dr. Apartheid:''' Oh, go to- |
| 220 | -->'''Lady in Grey:''' Lucifer! |
| 221 | * SpinOff: ''A lot:'' |
| 222 | ** ''L.A.'' - D.L.D.'s friends Lisa and Ammy in their own crazy adventures; it lasted 2 episodes. |
| 223 | ** ''S.G.T.'' - the cases of D.L.D.'s rivals; lasted only one page (yeah...). |
| 224 | ** ''Zarry Mopper'' - Parody series featuring [[Literature/HarryPotter Zarry Mopper]]; only one episode was made. |
| 225 | ** ''DarthWiki/LittleWitchVicky'' - [[CuteWitch Vicky's]] own series. |
| 226 | ** ''DarthWiki/DLDWhatCouldHaveBeen'' - An AlternateContinuity following the many WhatCouldHaveBeen 's of the series. |
| 227 | ** ''DarthWiki/DLDOldSchool'' - Another AlternateContinuity, this one without the many changes the series has undergone. |
| 228 | ** ''DarthWiki/SuprDLD'' - A SuperHero version of the comic that lasted only one episode. |
| 229 | ** ''DarthWiki/DLDNewSchool'' - Yet another AlternateContinuity, this one focusing only on the second cast of characters introduced after episode 120. |
| 230 | ** ''DarthWiki/StoriesFromMetropolis'' - A SliceOfLife series focusing on the daily lives of the ''D.L.D.'' characters. |
| 231 | ** ''DarthWiki/DLDHigh'' - A HighSchoolAU of the series, with a focus on QueerRomance. |
| 232 | * TerribleIntervieweesMontage: When looking for a replacement for D.D. in the episode ''D.D. Dies'', Luke and Dexter go through a montage like this 3 times (the episode ends with D.D. coming back in a tank, angry that the Author killed her off in an anticlimactic way, so she simply returned). |
| 233 | * TerrifyingTyrannosaur: ''D.L.D.inosaurs'' features a T-Rex terrorizing the city. |
| 234 | * TheEnd: The "The end!" tag at the end of every episode which changes its font and/or look with every appearance. |
| 235 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Some episodes end with either the MonsterOfTheWeek or someone else attacking the reader. |
| 236 | * TomeOfEldritchLore: During the first episodes there was a mini-arc concerning the Four Books of Evil, each of which, when read, brings a huge disaster (like raising the dead, for instance). There was also a Fifth Book that when read releases a demon that brings evil and doom... through neverending parties (which is why that book is discredited). |
| 237 | * TrappedInTVLand: In the episode ''Too Sweet'', the D.L.D. and Lisa & Ammy get sucked into a board game called "Melissa in Candyland", in which they meet Melissa (who is obese thanks to living in a world made entirely out of candy) and face off against the game's villain; Gloppy the chocolate monster. |
| 238 | * UnCancelled: I tried to give it up several times... only to continue with it afterwards. This comic really grew on me. |
| 239 | * {{Unicorn}}: ''D.D. and her Unicorn'' had D.D. find and keep a unicorn, only to fight with a little girl over him. The ridiculousness of the situation doesn't go unnoticed by the other characters: |
| 240 | -->'''Mee-mee:''' Who do you feel sorry for the most; the unicorn, or the 32-year old woman fighting with a little girl over him? |
| 241 | -->'''Lee-lee:''' Me, having to watch this. |
| 242 | * VillainEpisode: |
| 243 | ** ''Evil Villainy for Dummies'' - The League of Extraordinary Villains attempt to join the United Villains organization (which consists of [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]], [[WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop The Hooded Claw]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jessie and James]], among others) by any means necessary. |
| 244 | ** ''Zero's Hour'' - Dr. Zero's WholeEpisodeFlashback; how he went from a wimpy pharmacist married to a female sumo wrestler to a successful (more or less) MadScientist |
| 245 | ** ''Ladies' Fright'' - A WholeEpisodeFlashback that reveals the Lady in Grey (of the aforementioned League of Extraordinary Villains) was a BlackWidow in 1785 who married royals and later had them killed so she can have their inheritance. However, it was her fourth marriage that led to her downfall; her husband, the prince, revealed he knew her secret and told the king, just before he died. She was then sentenced to death, and had acid spilled on her head. Then she came back as a ghost and haunted her castle (later occupied by D.L.D.'s aunt) along with the Lady in Lightgreen, who in the same episode was revealed that she was TheDragon to the Lady in Grey, having to secretly kill her unfortunate husbands. When Grey was sentenced to death, Lightgreen interrupted the execution and the two tried to escape, only to be caught. Grey had acid spilled on her head, while Lightgreen was hung. Both then later came back as ghosts. |
| 246 | * VillainOverForDinner: In ''Guess Who's Coming To Ruin Your Dinner'', the D.L.D.'s mom invites not just their friends, but also their enemies, the League of Extraordinary Villains, for dinner. |
| 247 | * VillainsOutShopping: The members of the League of Extraordinary Villains, when they're not planning on how to kill the D.L.D., can usually be found doing stuff like shopping for groceries, playing Dance Dance Revolution, playing Twister,... |
| 248 | * WaxingLyrical: This conversation between Luke and Tina, which is a reference to "You Oughta Know" by Music/AlanisMorissette: |
| 249 | |
| 250 | -->'''Tina:''' I came by to tell you I don't give a shit about you anymore! |
| 251 | -->'''Luke:''' Really? Why? |
| 252 | -->'''Tina:''' Because the love that you gave wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide! No! |
| 253 | -->'''Luke:''' What? |
| 254 | -->'''Tina:''' And every time you speak her name, does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you die? Til you die! But you're still alive! |
| 255 | -->'''Luke:''' Tina, what the hell are you talking about? |
| 256 | -->'''Tina:''' Well, I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away! It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me! |
| 257 | -->'''Luke:''' Tina, what are you saying?! |
| 258 | -->'''Tina:''' You... you oughta know! |
| 259 | -->''[Tina leaves]'' |
| 260 | -->'''Luke:''' Crazy bitch! |
| 261 | * WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Since the beginning, and to this day. |
| 262 | * JustForFun/XMeetsY: At first the comic started out as an idea of combining ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' with the horror of ''ComicBook/DylanDog'' and the humor of ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}''. However, as I grew, so did my creative influences, and the series became so much more. |
| 263 | |

| 266 | [[WMG: D.L.D.]] |
| 267 | The titular trio; D.D., Luke and Dexter. When they're not arguing, fighting or insulting each other, they are solving supernatural mysteries. And even ''then'' they don't get along very well, but somehow manage to save the day. |

| 277 | [[WMG:League of Extraordinary Villains]] |
| 278 | A group consisting of four of D.L.D.'s former enemies (as in, enemies from previous episodes); two mad scientists and two ghosts. The only thing they have in common is the mutual hatred of D.L.D. for one reason or another. In fact, their relationship is worse than the D.L.D.'s! |
| 279 | |

| 281 | |

| 305 | |
| 306 | * '''School of Hugwartz''' - In the episode ''Anti-[[Literature/HarryPotter Hogwarts]]'', the D.L.D. visit a really crappy wizard school run by principal '''Al Dummydoor''', and made friends with its two most mischievous students; '''Zarry Mopper''' and '''Meina Kinezović'''. |

| 317 | |

| 325 | * '''Goth Girl and her friend''' - The former, a girl clad completely in black; the latter, her bespectacled redhaired friend. Usually found in D.L.D.'s school among other students. |

| 328 | |
| 329 | [[WMG:'''Characters - second cast''']] |
| 330 | |
| 331 | When compared to the old cast, these new ones are fairly LighterAndSofter; they don't argue or snark at each other, and even the main villain seems kind of sympathetic (until another villain shows up). |
| 332 | |
| 333 | As of episode 165 they are put together with the old cast, for better or worse. As of episode 192, they are in the Demented Dimension where they're helping the Syrian refugees who have a started a new life there (since, sadly, they really had no other place to go). |
| 334 | As of episode 244 they are back in our world. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | [[WMG:New D.L.D.]] |
| 337 | New members Thompson, Marion and Zoë strive to be just as good as their predecessors, without all the fighting and bickering. They changed the name to Destroy Ludicrous Demons, to keep the D.L.D. name intact (and besides, if they went by their initials like the old D.L.D., they'd be called T.M.Z., and who wants to share the same name as a celebrity gossip site?). |
| 338 | |
| 339 | At first it only consisted of Marion and Thompson, with Zoë joining in later (she was introduced in the first new-cast episode "Dramatic entrance! Enter Zoë"; how Thompson and Marion met was revealed in the WholeEpisodeFlashback "When huffy met sultry", where they both tied in a competition held by the mayor to see who was going to be the new D.L.D.).

| 375 | -->And their dad will say "I can't let you do that, what if something happens to you?", to which they will say "It's okay, dad, even if we get hurt or even die, it would happen in the past, and we will still be born in the future!". After some convincing, he finally let them travel back in to the past. '''We''' are those kids! |

| 396 | In the episode ''A Better Life'', ALL of the characters leave Metropolis in search for, well, a better life. Thus paving the way for a ''third'' cast.
