This series provides examples of:

Abusive Parents: Charlie has an incredibly abusive mother who FORCE FEEDS HER BLEACH.
Adorkable: Charlie
Alpha Bitch: Bebe in One of the Girls
Annoying Younger Sibling: Cartman considers Becca (Charlie's little sister, and later, Cartman's foster sister) to be one.
Artistic License - History: Warren Zevon appears in Roland's Revenge, even though he died in 2003. The author also points this out.
Author Appeal: Sort of. Both Charlie and her creator hate Taylor Swift and Glee.
Berserk Button: Do NOT separate Becca from her Game Station.
- Also, don't make Candy Mountain jokes about Charlie. (Though her creator encourages you to.)
- Don't call her a boy, either.
Big "NO!": Cartman when he finds out Girl Scout Cookie season is over.
Blondes are Evil: Bebe (At least in One of the Girls)
Character Blog: Charlie has an ask account and a Twitter.
Cool Loser: Charlie
Disproportionate Retribution: Charlie's punishment for disobeying the Girl Scout Law?*
Which, by the way, is catering to a man's every whim.
She gets attacked by the friggin' SWAT TEAM.
Five-Man Band:
- The Leader: Stan
- The Lancer: Kyle and Charlie alternate
- The Big Guy: Cartman
- The Chick/Sixth Ranger: Charlie
- Tagalong Kid/The Load: Kenny
Fourth Wall Mail Slot: Charlie's ask account.
Is This Thing Still On?: In Girl Scout Cookies, when Charlie and Cartman are shouting at each other, Cartman answers the phone and asks them to hold, and proceeds to call Charlie a "little asswipe". Cartman gets back to his call, only to see the person has hung up on him.
Charlie: You never pressed hold, shit-brain.
Killer Rabbit: Binky the hedgehog.
Missing Episode: Some of the stories have not yet been published.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Warren Zevon and Taylor Swift both appear (and die) in Roland's Revenge. Needless to say, the characters don't really care for the latter's music or death.
- Bonnie Hunt also appears in Brainwashing.
Original Character: Charlie (and she's not a Mary Sue!)
Our Slogan Is Terrible: Cartman comes up with the slogan "We Whore Ourselves With Cookies" for the GSCV in Girl Scout Cookies,
Precocious Crush: Becca has one on Kenny in Elephant Balls. In the end, she dumps him for Butters.
Put on a Bus: Davy (Charlie's baby brother).
Recycled Script: The author notes that Hedgehog is similar to the canon episode Spookyfish. However, they're different for the most part.
Self-Insert Fic: Subverted. The only similarities between Charlie and her creator are being brown-haired American Caucasian females who hate Taylor Swift and Glee. See this for more details.
Sixth Ranger: Again, Charlie. Thankfully she's not a Sailor Earth.
Shout Out: In Hedgehog, Stan, Charlie, and Kyle reenact the Holy Hand Grenade scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Stay in the Kitchen: The Girl Scouts preach this in Girl Scout Cookies, saying that girls shouldn't have to work and need to snatch a good man for themselves so they can work.
Take That: Taylor Swift gets one in Roland's Revenge. As do the Girl Scouts in Girl Scout Cookies.
They Killed Kenny: This is a South Park fic. What did you expect?
Type Casting: In-universe example. Token is chosen to organize the Martin Luther King Jr. dance in One of the Girls.
Unpopular Popular Character: Charlie is rather unpopular in-universe, but she has quite a lot of fans. Her ask account also has several friends. Lampshaded by this drawing.
Viewer Gender Confusion: An in-universe example. Everybody thinks Charlie is a boy (Bebe even asks "him" out in the first fic) until she makes it clear she is female.
