* CloudCuckooLander: Ron, of course. At one point, he starts talking to himself on a bus, which quickly goes out of control and he starts screaming about how he's going to burn the bus down. When Ron meet's Brick Tamland, he delivers such wonderful gems as "I am inside my head and outside my head," and "It's a funny sunny funny day."

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Ron... is probably [[UnreliableNarrator not the most reliable narrator.]] The various bizarre events over the course of the book genuinely make you wonder if the hair products he takes may have had some effect on his brain.

(Considering that some of the products he used had things like lead chips and lime in them, it's quite possible.)

* UnfortunateNames: Several other news reporters in the story have embarrassingly hilarious names. For example: Ass Perkins, Snack Reynolds, and [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyQuest Race Bannon]]. The nuns at Ron's highscool, "Our Lady Queen of Chewbacca," also have names like Vicky Vaginilicious and Sister Honeytits.

* AwesomeMoments: Ron's entire life could qualify: He was a backup musician for musicians such as Tony Bennett, his hair won the award for best hair in Action Man's Magazine, and he defeated Jim Nabors in a fistfight.



* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The headers on several pages of the book have absolutely ''nothing'' to do with the chapter. For example, in the chapter where he begins forming his news team, the top of the pages read "I Invent the Triangle Offense." Ron also tends to go off on completely unrelated tangents in the middle of whatever story he's telling. Not that it's not awesome.
