| 1 | * AscendedFanon: ''Ask Axe Cop'' is all about taking any suggestion-veiled-as-a-question from fans and running wild with it. |
| 2 | * ChannelHop: From Creator/{{Fox}} to [[Creator/FXNetworks FXX]] as part of the entire ADHD block. |
| 3 | * CreatorBacklash: Creator/{{Egoraptor}} shows displeasure working on the show back in his heyday, calling it a miserable experience and trashing the final product. |
| 4 | * TheDanza: |
| 5 | ** On the Fox animated series, Todd Barry's ubiquitous clerk character is named Todd in the episode "The Rabbit Who Broke All the Rules". |
| 6 | ** In the episode "When Night Creatures Attack", the Sun Thieves are played by ''Film/KillingThemSoftly'' actors Ben Mendelsohn and Scoot [=McNairy=] and in the end they accidentally reveal each other's names as Ben and Scoot. |
| 7 | * FanworkBan: Ethan has requested that ''Axe Cop'' be the exception to RuleThirtyFour in order to preserve the innocence of Malachai's creations. |
| 8 | * HeAlsoDid: Ethan Nicolle is also the co-creator of ''WesternAnimation/ChipChilla''. |
| 9 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 10 | ** Subverted (in RealLife), as seen [[http://www.facebook.com/axecopfanpage/posts/10150165144328947 here]]. "Well I just spent a month with Malachai writing "Axe Cop VS. Al Qaeda" for nothing!" [Lots of people suggest they go ahead with it anyway, in spite of UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden's just having been killed.] "Okay, I was kidding." |
| 11 | ** Annotations on comics, appendices in the book collections, and discussions on the [[http://www.nlcast.com/category/chop/ "Chop!"]] podcasts reveal planned ideas that didn't make it into the finished comics. Some of these ideas are [[RefittedForSequel Refitted]] for later comics or even [[WesternAnimation/AxeCop the TV show]], since Ethan worked with the writing team, and Malachai was consulted on the occasional teleconference with them. (Zombie Island would have been just a regular island until Malachai said that it should be in space, and so the animators had to partially redo the episode.) |
| 12 | *** For instance, ''Bad Guy Earth'' was going to include a character called the Scare King until Ethan decided it was too derivative of a [[Advertising/TheBurgerKing Burger King]] game. Yet come the TV episode "An American Story", the King of England was actually styled after the Burger King! |
| 13 | *** The behind-the-scenes discussion that led to [[http://axecop.com/comic/ask-axe-cop-13/ Axe Cop turning aliens evil to justify killing them]] became the script for the ending of "No More Bad Guys". |
| 14 | *** Axe Cop's oddly somber discussion on how he'll never be happy was revealed by Ethan to have been taken from an unfinished "Ask Axe Cop" comic. |
| 15 | * WordOfSaintPaul: The entire comic can be considered this, as the artwork is Ethan's interpretation of [[WordOfGod Malachai's]] universe. Ethan has mentioned in interviews how often he learns afterward what he draws fails to match what the young Malachai envisioned due to either being too vague or having difficulty expressing his ideas. |
