Go To

1* {{Anvilicious}}: Lampshaded; when Kobayashi describes his game as a comment on human sadism, the image is of an anvil dropping into the frame. In-story, it illustrated a player selecting a way to kill the ninja in the game, but... yeah.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Kid Radd ending theme. It's kr_final.mid on [[http://tangent128.name/depot/kid_radd.zip here]]. Enjoy![[note]]Its composer, Mark Hadley, would later go on to do music for [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} another sound-enabled new media project]].[[/note]]
3* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:The malicious and borderline omniscient [[TheManBehindTheMan Seer]] is a [[ComputerVirus virus]] that was created to infect and destroy the entire Internet and [[OmnicidalManiac ended up wanting to destroy even more]]. Upon realizing that humanity would survive the Internet's destruction and that there was a layer of cyberspace out of its reach, the Seer would [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate Crystal]] into creating a body he could take over and usurp Crystal's conquest of the sprite's layer of cyberspace. After gaining complete control of both the cyber and real world he then planned to create a body in the real world just so he could see the look of fear on humanity's faces before destroying both worlds and spread out into the cosmos to search for and destroy all life in the universe to sate his bloodlust. In a world full of sprites [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming trying to overcome the flaws built into them]], the Seer gleefully embraced his lust for destruction.]]
4* FridgeBrilliance: Naming the obvious [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Ness]] {{Expy}} "[[Series/TheUntouchables Eliot]]". [[ViewersAreGeniuses Yeah]].
5* HilariousInHindsight: Read this comic then go watch ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. Eerie similarities, huh? And keep in mind this comic ''predated'' that movie.
6** It also seems has kinda similar themes to ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''...
7** Comic 422 is one outside of the story which involves Radd, Bogey and Sheena starring in a show about the 00s. Most of the references in it became ''extremely'' outdated even by the midpoint of that decade, which is part of the point; the references are also pretty anachronistic to one another, such as having the cast listen to Music/NSync while playing on Playstation 3s.
8* NightmareFuel: Sheena's dream about the sprites who might be overlooked and left behind when the organization liberates a game, which inevitably leads to its code collapsing, destroying it. While they save ''every'' sprite who can move and/or talk, Sheena is terrified that they are missing silent or immovable sprites, who are permanently killed when their world literally collapses on them.
9** The failed Protos colony, the first attempt at rehabilitating murderous sprites who were unable to shed their original game personas. The founders merged them with NPC volunteers, who's personalities because 'dominant' and make them docile and productive. However, it didn't last, and they began randomly flipping to the murderous sprites' personas, only now, they were ''immortal'' as well. The entire colony was quickly overrun with immortal, indestructible mass murderers, who had to be abandoned in a damaged ROM and left to die as it collapsed.
10** The eventual fate of [[spoiler: The Seer]]. For all his grandstanding, he had overlooked a fatal flaw in his plans; the game sprites he fused with to create his new form all had ''different end battle codes'', which would trigger when said character died. Crystal, not expecting to die, never bothered picking which death to default to, and [[spoiler: the Seer]] never bothered fixing that. The result? Instead of [[spoiler: simply losing access to the sprites' layer of the internet]] as he thought he might, the conflicting death algorithms ''crashed his entire program''. If he's not permanently dead, he's a vegetable.
11* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Bogey's HeroicSacrifice in the final battle is played ''very'' well.]]
