| 1 | * ClicheStorm: Presciently presented, as the conversion of Tolkien's original creativity into the clichés of heroic fantasy had barely begun at that point. |
| 2 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: They start off by changing "Bilbo Baggins" into ''Dildo Bugger.'' And they started as they meant to go on. |
| 3 | * DesignatedHero: Pretty much everyone. Spam is a sarcastic sleaze with a conviction for [[PaedoHunt ''lewd acts with an underage dragon of the opposite sex'']], [[ThoseTwoGuys Moxie and Pepsi]] are hyperactive morons, [[FakeWizardry Goodgulf]] and [[MilesGloriosus Arrowroot]] are cowardly buffoons [[spoiler: and eventual murderers]], and [[ElvesVsDwarves Legolam and Gimlet]] are too busy sniping at each other to be of much use at all during the quest. [[TheProtagonist Frito]] is the only remotely heroic member of the cast. |
| 4 | * GeniusBonus: The wizard Serutan's evil influence is first experienced as "the runs"- logically enough, since "Serutan" was a well known brand of laxative. |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: The Nozdrul are riding pigs and the Riders of Roi-tan ride sheep, both of which seemed to be pretty ridiculous at that time. In ''Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies'', the Dwarf Dáin Ironfoot rides a large boar, and the extended version of the film features a Dwarven cavalry on rams. |
| 6 | * MemeticMutation: Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons. |
| 7 | * SpiritualSuccessor: Adam Roberts wrote two Middle-Earth parodies called ''The Soddit'' and ''The Sellamillion'' which were marketed as spiritual prequels to this book. |
