| 2 | * MisaimedFandom: [[https://theoatmeal.com/comics/literally "What it means when you say 'literally'"]] features a quote from anti-gay televangelist Jerry Falwell, in which he claims that a "homosexual steamroller will literally crush all decent men, women, and children who get in its way" as an example of the word "literally" being misused. The point is illustrated with a cartoon of people being run over by a pink-and-rainbow "Gayroller 2000". Although the point of this was to mock homophobes, some anti-LGBTQ memes unironically use the image. [[https://twitter.com/oatmeal/status/614481505704931328 The Oatmeal later made a tweet]] clarifying that the image is meant to be pro-marriage equality, in response to a right-wing publication posting an image of a giant rainbow steamroller destroying small businesses. |
| 3 | * {{Squick}}: Many of his comics feature large quantities of poop and vomit, including [[https://theoatmeal.com/comics/house this one]] about his 17 childhood cats who all pooped in the same litter box...that his parents made him clean every day for 10 years. |
| 4 | * TearJerker: [[http://theoatmeal.com/comics/house The story of Inman's house burning down]] is just a little heartbreaking. [[spoiler:Until the end that is]]. |
| 5 | * UglyCute: Many of the characters generally drawn with this quality. |
| 6 | ** Oatmeal describes most of his people looking like a "frog-eyed sausage". |
