--->"Byers looks at you, and at the hand, and he puts his little wing over your hand, as if to say, 'Joey, you do not have to try to use me on literally everything in your house.'
--->Nice try, Byers. Let's see what else is in here."

-->'''Joey''': Don't tell me. Man eating plants? Giant moths that fire lasers out of their butts? Trees that have big angry faces on them and use their branches to attack poor defenseless travelers like that one part in ''Snow White''?
-->'''Xefros''': Actually ya
-->'''Xefros''': You nailed it! Wow Joey, youre so smart X:)
** And Xefros' explanation for why Alternia ''has'' the evil trees?
--->'''Xefros''': It builds character.

* Horns apparently have cultural significance on Alternia. If Joey chooses the "hard and pert" traffic cones, Xefros will say it shows she has "a REALLY well-developed... personality!" If she chooses the cornucopia horns, Xefros comments that the "sheer size and robust curve" says that Joey has "a REALLY big... heart!" Poor Joey is oblivious.
** Even better, the horns that function as a GagPenis joke? Also very similar to Xefros' own horns.

* Music/TobyFox (one of the composers) apparently didn't realize that he had a song named after his persona until it was pointed out.
--> '''James''': Cohen named this one this because it is the basement and Toby was living in Andrews basement at some point while he was working on VideoGame/{{Undertale}}. You may not have heard of it. [...]
--> '''Toby''': I literally didn’t understand why it was called this until I read James’s comment on it.
--> '''James''': [[FlatWhat Toby what the hell]].
** Further down the Act 1 OST commentary, James Roach (the other composer) ''really'' doesn't like the word "{{leitmotif}}".
---> '''The thumbnail for James's video, embedded in the commentary:''' [[TemptingFate IF I HEAR THE WORD "LEITMOTIF" EVEN ONE MORE TIME I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND]]
---> '''The title of the video:''' I KNOW YOU ARE THINKING "HA HA I WILL COMMENT LEITMOTIF" BUT YOU ARE UNFUNNY AND NOBODY LIKES YOU
---> '''The comments for the video:''' ''Comments are disabled for this video.''
---> '''The description of the video:''' you literally could not be trusted with even the most simple of tasks

* A lot of the Hiveswap Comics Contest winners fall into this.

-->'''Xefros''': Just like a real troll! Well, a real troll with a flesh eating lethal bacteria inhabiting their pores, but that's more common that you think.

-->'''Joey''': Don't tell me. Man eating plants? Giant moths that fire lasers out of their butts? Trees that have big angry faces on them and use thei branches to attack poor defenseless travelers like that one part in ''Snow White''?

* Chahut [[spoiler: holding Xefros hostage until Joey kills another troll?]] Awful. Chahut [[spoiler: juggling poor Xefros?]] Hilarious.
