* ArchiveBinge: The strip is a LongRunner, but since the strips are normally only four panels it usually doesn't turn into ArchivePanic.
* {{Anvilicious}}: Kabutroid is ''very'' fond of this and uses them more frequently as the comic went on. For example, she will make comic strips dedicated to rants of the economy as a whole and then hammer it in through the author comment below the comic.
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The entire Trabnagian Tribe arc, a brilliant usage of OverlyLongGag that stays funny for several strips.
* NauseaFuel: Kraid in general revolves around this kind of humor. If you want a small sampling of his disgusting habits: [[labelnote:Squick warning]]Kraid using some of his shedded skin to [[http://zebeth.com/planetzebeth/archive1k/z1200.html "season" his foods]] for eating.[[/labelnote]]
* NightmareFuel: The minions of Zebeth are all sentient creatures. Some of them are fried alive via the deep-fryer in Ridley's Bar or outright munched on alive.
** [[http://www.zebeth.com/planetzebeth/archive1k/z1125.html After a bribe from Samus]], Kraid threatened to [[YourSoulIsMine wrench and devour the souls]] from those unfortunate enough to touch Ridley's alcohol supply. [[http://www.zebeth.com/planetzebeth/archive1k/z1126.html The very next comic]] and [[http://www.zebeth.com/planetzebeth/archive1k/z1127.html later addressed by Samus here]].
* SeasonalRot: The web comic is considered long past its prime, many getting fed up with its already dark tone getting even more cynical and the creator’s political rants often overriding the comic.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Kabutroid would sometimes make filler comics for when she didn't have anything new to make at the time or needing to vent when life got her down. However, Kabutroid began to make more and more filler involving her ranting about the state of the world's economy among other things. The rants started to appear more often than the actual comics themselves and when someone declared that he would no longer follow the site for updates due to all the ranting, Kabutroid basically admitted that the site turned into a political blog and to come back in a few months when there would hopefully be a new comic to see. This would happen and the comic would go back on track, though many would argue [[SeasonalRot the damage had already been done.]]
