"No. You don't understand. I've been dead for the past 35 years... today is the day I live."
With an array of wacky and strange events, deconstructions of video game and story tropes, and never ending sorrow and misery, it's a rare moment when something is genuinely awesome.

     LISA: The Painful RPG 
  • Regardless of the morality of it all, Brad single-handedly destroying the Rando Army is undeniably awesome.
    • To illustrate, Brad can have lost both of his arms by this point. He manages to do it anyway. "It" being fighting his way through an army consisting of nearly 40 people, each of them armed to the teeth. Just so he can save the last girl on earth. The one HE raised.
    • Despite the fact that he fails Buddy, this really goes to illustrate that he legitimately cared about her. He might have been a failure, but heaven be damned if he didn't try his hardest to make it up to her
  • Throughout the entire game, Brad assembles his own gang of "supernatural beings, weirdos, monsters, and just plain dumb people". Most of them are gross, middle-aged men who led pathetic lives even before the Flash. Even though a few of them have wholly selfish reasons for facing Brad, most of them proved willing to die for humanity's future. Even while extremely outclassed and watching their comrades die in front of them, they continue fighting until the very end.
    • Terry Hintz, Lord of the Tutorial is the epitome of Lethal Joke Character. The very first appearance of him has him pulling his hamstring and chased up a tree by a dog, and when he's first inducted into Brad's party, his attack stat is a hilariously low 2, with his only skill being a lackluster heal move with a high SP cost. Eventually, he will get more useful buff moves, but he's completely worthless if he were to ever be the last party member standing. This all changes, however, come level 20+; Terry will learn The Hottest Dance, a move where Terry explodes violently on a target. This singular move deals upwards of 2500 damage, and when used on oiled up targets, deals upwards of 25,000 damage. This move, this single move alone, makes Terry Hintz possibly one of the best party members in the entire game.
    • To a much lesser extent, Nern Xiao Guan is another example of Lethal Joke Character found in the game. Despite his tendency to...mouth off, he's the game's first introduction of finger beam powers, which is a power used by several other characters. There's something oddly bombastic about this stereotype annoying next-door neighbor having the power to shoot lasers from his fingertips. Of course, not to say that's the only thing up his sleeve, as he comes pre-equipped with a revolver.
     LISA: The Joyful 
  • Buddy, a young child, almost single handedly takes out all of the toughest men in Olathe. Even better? She can potentially take out Sweetheart by herself.
  • Let's give credit where's due: when Buddy finds warlord Sindy Gallows, he has been riddled with arrows and hanged. Then he wakes up, because he doesn't want to die and let go of his spot on the List unless you earn it.
