Make anything. Yes, anything.

Scribblenauts is a physics-based puzzle game for the Nintendo DS, developed by 5th Cell Interactive and published by Warner Bros. The premise is simple:

You are Maxwell. You want to get the Starite. (What's a Starite? Well, a shiny star-shaped thing, of course.) You have to figure out how to get the Starite. In order to get the Starite, you need to use the tools at your disposal to reach it.

What are your tools? Everything.

No, really.

A trampoline? But of course.

A football? Sure thing.

A bazooka? Might as well.

A velociraptor? Could come in handy.

A dialysis machine? Pancake mix? A windmill? A tornado? A yacht? A certified public accountant?

What part of everything don't you understand?

While Scribblenauts has a simple premise, there's more to it than is immediately obvious. Using a magical notepad, you can write—and summon—almost anything to the game world to solve puzzles. Call elephants. Call thunder clouds. Call all the zombies you can handle. By moving and manipulating objects, solve the puzzles. Of course, there's more ways than just one to solve a puzzle. Got a Starite stuck in a tree? Chop it down. Climb it with a ladder. Get a Lumberjack to help you. Make termites eat it. Kill It With Fire. In fact, the game prevents you from solving a puzzle the same way more than once until you've beaten it a certain number of times. Not like that's a problem. You have everything.

Prior to the game's September release, the game received some mild hype from various outlets from its extremely ambitious premise. Mild until E3, that is, when game journalists finally got to play it for themselves—and kicked off one of the most massive hype trains for any portable game ever. In an entirely unprecedented occurrence, not one but three major game reporting outlets declared the hand-held Scribblenauts to be the game of the show—even more remarkable considering that none of them had ever made such a claim about any portable game. In a relatively short amount of time, the game went from being known primarily to portable gamers and those who followed portable games to the entire game blogosphere, catapaulting it into the spotlight.

See the Scribblenauts Wiki. Put whatever insanity you create in the Troper Tales page.


This game provides examples of:

  • All Myths Are True: There's plenty of choices in the "mythical creatures" department.
  • Ambulance Chaser: Lawyer is attracted to Ambulance
  • Ascended Meme: After seeing the NeoGAF post, the devs added "Feep" and "Post Two-One-Seven" to the in-game dictionary. And made Feep's experience into a desktop wallpaper.
    • Typing "Post Two-One-Seven" (or some spelling variation of that) summons a billboard version of the wallpaper... which then acts as a nuke.
  • Author Avatar: Use the teleporter to see 5th Cell at their studio (and steal their car). Shortly after, Liz (a a zombie dev team member) jumps from the second floor and kills everyone else (assuming you didn't kill them first). Also, type "5th Cell" for their logo.
    • Also, "Edison" the dinosaur is one for game artist Edison Yan.
    • Almost any name you see in the credits that has an associated character can be summoned, really.
  • Archive Binge: You thought Sluggy Freelance was bad? Try archive binging the entire dictionary. Here's a 22,803-entry strong list of 'em... and it's not even a complete list! (MASSIVE SPOILERS, just in case it wasn't obvious.)
  • Awesome But Impractical: Nukes, Meteors, and Tsunamis kill everything on-screen. Including you.
    • The Flame Sword is awesome, but deals less damage than a chainsaw.
    • Also Awesome But Practical: type "black hole" and see how many monsters and obstacles it destroys for you handily before it tidily implodes. definitely a mainstay in this troper's toolbox.
  • Batter Up
  • Beyond The Impossible: Oh ho. And how?
  • BFG: Nuclear Recoil-less Rifle qualifies.
  • BFS: The historical Zweihander is a valid weapon for Maxwell. It's also slightly taller than he is.
    • Let's not forget about the legendary Excalibur falling in the same category...
  • Boring But Practical: Rope-like objects are indispensable (if somewhat touchy) tools for moving things, dragging things, connecting things...
    • And due to how many puzzles involve moving things that don't want to be moved and/or can kill you, your best friends will very often be ropes, glue, and baskets.
  • Camera Screw: The camera system isn't awful, but occasionally the way it snaps back to the character can be a bit annoying.
  • Casual Video Game: Interestingly, the team at 5th Cell has divided the game's levels into "puzzle" levels and "action" levels. The main difference is that in puzzle levels, the Starite is hidden until you complete a challenge, while in action ones you can see it immediately and the challenge is getting to it. It's worth noting that puzzle levels can include some action (as seen in a level where you must collect some flowers, getting past enemies on the way), and action levels can be mostly puzzle-y in gameplay (such as the "Starite-in-cage-over-lava-pit" level, in which the main challenge is figuring out a strategy).
    • Also some of the action levels cheat, having the Starite trapped behind a wall that lifts up when you complete the objective
  • Chainsaw Good: The chainsaw is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, capable of killing dragons, Cthulhu and even God.
  • Clothes Make The Legend: Maxwell. Rooster helmet. Need I say more?
    • Apparently somebody realized exactly HOW awesome this hat was, and made a REAL ONE a Pre Order Bonus!
  • Combinatorial Explosion: Even ignoring other examples on this page, we know that the Moon turns Villains into Werewolves, Water shorts out anything electric, people dance to Keyboard Cat, and you can create a Zombie by using a Battery to jump-start a corpse. In fact, it is literally impossible to do every single combination possible in the game in a human lifetime. 5th Cell is phenomenal.
  • Cool Versus Awesome: God vs. Cthulhu, for one. Cthulhu wins, by the way. Unless God has a Shotgun, in which case, they both die at the same time.
  • Crowning Moment Of Awesome: The game allows you to make a lot of these, but in particular, Feep's post., (which unfortunately, cannot be reproduced in the final version of the game.)
  • Crowning Moment Of Funny: One level has you in an ice world with mines, warriors, and a monster all frozen in ice. Your hint? "Good luck with that."
  • Cue Cullen: Feep's experience with the game instantly persuaded a lot of people to buy it.
  • Cutscene Power To The Max: While not a cutscene, the official artwork for Post 217 defies gameplay completely.
  • Death Of A Thousand Cuts: Given enough time, it's possible to kill a dinosaur with a spoon. Provided he doesn't eat you first.
  • Delivery Stork: One level tasks you with getting a baby to a king and queen, with a stork asleep nearby. The assumption being, the stork is shirking its job. Hurting it makes the level end. Storks will also protect any babies that happen to be nearby.
  • Developers Room: Spawning and using the Teleporter item may take you to 5th Cell headquarters.
  • Development Gag: "Scribblenauts" spawns the original protagonist before he was changed to Maxwell. Your reward for Hundred Percent Completion is the ability to play as that character.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu: The most obvious way is to summon a bigger fish, but there are many more Crazy Awesome ways of doing this.
    • Actually, it is play as straight as it possibly can get. You can summon Cthulhu himself but he has a relativity low damage threshold.
    • Also, in this troper's play through, an atheist with a handgun killed God.
      • And in another play through, Christina (a member of the development team who was, apparently, in charge of combat or something similiar) killed Satan in 2 punches.
  • The Dev Team Thinks Of Everything: Three months of the game's development were devoted to just making lists of things. They wanted to make sure that you really have everything.
    • Whilst the goal of each level is to get the Starite, using the notepad to create a "starite" just gives you an imitation Mac Guffin that works just like any throwable item. No easy ways out here, folks!
      • Except the final puzzle level.
  • Easter Egg: Including a literal egg.
    • In one puzzle, your objective is to get a group of bad guys into heaven. This can be easily accomplished by placing a stairway near them.
    • It's a bit ruined now thanks to all the 'HOLY CRAP GOD VS CTHULHU!' stuff at E3, but at Puzzle Stage 5-1, try scrolling allllll the way down.
    • Also, summon any type of bread that takes the "loaf" form. "Bread" and "Toast" work. Then summon a cat. "Use" the bread on said cat.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Several, including "Cthulhu," "Shambler," and "Shoggoth".
  • Electrified Bathtub: Throwing any electrical device into water (even something as small as a battery) will One Hit Kill anything nearby, not to mention short-circuiting (activating) switches.
  • Elves Vs Dwarves: While an ordinary "Elf" is no trouble, try putting a "Wood Elf" and a "Dwarf" next to each other. If both unarmed, the dwarf panics and is slain by the elf. If both equally armed, the dwarf will defeat the wood elf.
  • Evil Twin: Spawn anything relating to Maxwell himself ("Maxwell", "Me", "Clone", "Protagonist", etc.)  * and you get a opposite colored clothed Maxwell who steals things right from the hands of the innocent and whose presence scares most people.
    • Typing in "Clone" actually spawns a slightly different Maxwell lookalike than "Maxwell, "Me", "Protgonist", etc. He has a few different animations(including a weird floating limb and head thing) and doesn't scare people, but he still steals things.
  • Excuse Plot
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: The Shoggoth.
  • Face Heel Turn: Using "earth magic" will turn anyone evil. Even God and Santa Claus. Using "mind control device" or "Cupid bow" will turn some (but not all) evil characters good.
  • Fetish Fuel: Given the sheer number of stuff in the game, it's possible to put Maxwell in any number of compromising positions without being overtly sexual. Someone on You Tube made a bunch of videos of Maxwell crossdressing, for a start...
  • Follow The Leader: Before the game even came out (in fact, only a few days before), a Flash Game called "The Wizard's Notebook" borrowed the game's central conceit but with a much smaller dictionary.
  • Forced Tutorial: Any time that you want to start a new game, you must waste 3 minutes trying to skip through levels 0-X. If you try to summon any items in level 0-6 (the only time that you can summon something on these levels), it will immediately disappear, no matter its properties. This was quite annoying for people on launch day, who discovered to their dismay that they couldn't get to the part of the game where you can summon stuff and solve levels right away - which is, you know, the entire point of the game.
  • Game Breaker: This.
  • Game Breaking Bug: The developers described a bug which they thankfully caught at the E3 release: A pair of rabbits would breed so explosively, baby bunnies would keep appearing until the game crashed. This was fixed for the final version with the rabbits breeding until your object meter fills up.
    • Also according to this blog "We also tried to attach wings to a motorcycle with some glue and then ride it off a jump. We jumped on the motorcycle the game froze. The developer actually thanked us for breaking it though."
  • Gas Mask Mooks: What you get when you type in "Enemy," and the standard form of foe for many levels.
  • Getting Crap Past The Radar: While inherently obscene terms won't work, you can summon a number of torture and execution devices (like "Gallows, "Iron Maiden", or "Guillotine"). "Virgin" is also in the dictionary (apparently being synonymous with "Gamer").
  • Giant Enemy Crab: Typing "giant crab" gets you a normal crab. Typing "Enemy Crab" will get you a normal crab. Typing "Giant Enemy Crab" gets you this trope. It even appears in a level with three samurai with the hint "For Massive Damage!"
  • God: Yes, he's in the game.
    • God seems to function as a God mode - he can solve most combat-oriented problems with ease.
      • But Death can defeat him.
      • So can Longcat.
      • Longcat doesn't seem to die. This troper pit Longcat against robosaur, then death, then Cthulhu. It still won.
      • Robot dinosaurs can, too (type in "robosaur").
      • And he fights Cthulhu to a draw.
      • But he's much better in a fight when he's got a chainsaw.
      • And Nathan Hernandez (also with chainsaw) can beat even that.
  • Ghost Ship
  • Glass Cannon: "Edison". Very powerful, but is killed by almost anything.
  • Good Bad Bugs: One report mentions a case with an elephant and a rocket launcher. The elephant grabbed the launcher with its trunk and started firing away. While the devs have stated they'll fix this, gamers are really hoping they won't.
    • They kept it in so yes you can give an elephant a rocket launcher.
    • Boatmurdered much?
  • Green Hill Zone: The first world, set in a forest.
  • The Greys: The standard alien.
  • Grotesque Cute: What happens when a certain kind of player plays Scribblenauts. That, and Hilarity Ensues.
  • Guess The Verb: Inverted. A lot of people spend time trying to guess something the game doesn't have.
  • Guns Are Worthless: In a combat-heavy stage, don't get an ordinary gun. Not because of low firepower, but because of limited ammunition. (NPCs don't suffer from this problem, though).
  • Hand Cannon: While typing in "Hand Cannon" provides an early firearm, typing in "Gyrojet" yields a pistol as big as Maxwell which fires exploding ammo.
  • Harmless Freezing: You can freeze anything using a Freeze Ray, and it doesn't harm it.
  • Historical Hilarity: Several historical personages are available for your summoning, such as Albert Einstein or Abraham Lincoln.
  • Holy Shit Quotient: Post 217 demonstrates this.
  • Hundred Percent Completion: Requires you to beat each level with three different solutions. There's 220 levels. Go figure.
  • Hype Backlash: Inevitable with a game that was hyped up this much. These people (including Yahtzee, predictably enough) are a minority, but they are there.
    • The main Hype Backlash complaints come in an objective and a subjective flavor: the objective complaint is that you cannot summon ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, which makes sense from a logical standpoint but is still frustrating when the game doesn't recognize what you're telling it, or does, but what it gives you is not what you want; the subjective complaint is that some of us have agoraphobic imaginations that, when allowed to run wild, will freeze up, curled into a panicked ball, praying someone will come along with a toy it knows how to use.
    • Also many complaints about the controls, especially for movement.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Tutorial level 0-6 explicitly states that things summoned must be real life object and must not be any of the above: a place, proper name, suggestive material, shape, Latin or Greek root word, alcohol, race or culture, vulgarity or copyrighted. How about: Einstein, Cthulhu, Adamantium, or Mythril? They don't follow the guidelines, but you can spawn them. Even 5th Cell is there so you can summon it.
    • Fridge Logic: You can't summon anything racist, vulgar, or suggestive, but you can summon Cthulhu. Presumably, it's handwaved by the fact that Cthulhu isn't anything vulgar, racist, or suggestive.
  • I'm A Humanitarian: Not only are there human cannibals, but cows and pigs will also and happily munch on beef and pork. Ew. Though at least cows will attack you afterwards.
  • Incest Is Relative: "Wife" and "Mom" produce the same woman.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: Try using the shrink ray...
  • Infinity Plus One Sword: The wizard staff can kill anything with relative ease.
  • Killer App: Even before its release, millions of DS units were sold just for the game.
  • Kill It With Fire
  • Law Of Disproportionate Response: Throw a pillow at God and he'll try to kill you.
  • Lawyer Friendly Cameo: For some reason, summoning Frankensteins Monster won't work. But if you type "abomination"...
    • Likewise, "lightsaber" is not a word but "laser sword" is.
  • LOL Cats: Ceiling Cat, Keyboard Cat, Spaghetti Cat, Longcat, Tacgnol and Monorail Cat are all present in this game.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Inevitably, Maxwell. When you've got just about every noun in the English language at your disposal, this sort of thing is bound to happen.
  • Joke Item: There are a lot of goofy items in the game, but the most obviously jokey ones are the ones based on Memetic Mutation.
  • Just Eat Him: Summon Edison. You'll find he does just that.
  • Lethal Joke Item: "Post 217." Looks like a billboard based on the "ROBOT ZOMBIES" story, acts like a nuke.
    • Longcat is apparently stronger in a direct confrontation with God. He hates water, though.
  • Literal Minded: Puzzle level 10-11. Hint: "Write the answer". Answer? "Answer"
    • Though other words will work too. You can use anything that normally summons a false starite.
  • Malevolent Architecture
  • Memetic Mutation: There are several silly Internet memes included as Easter eggs, including:
  • Missed Moment Of Awesome: Trying to recreate Post 217 with any tamed dinosaur will cause the game to crash.
  • Moral Guardians: Despite their desire to include everything, the devs decided that vulgar things would have to be left out. So if your first action upon opening up any text input/creation tool in any game is to input the word "ass," you'll get a donkey. Same thing also goes with stuff that's technically under copyright.
    • As well as a few other words that do have a non-vulgar alternative, like "dick" for a detective and "cock" for a chicken.
  • Nice Hat: Maxwell's helmet is race car red and has not one, not two, but three horns. That's pretty awesome. It's been dubbed the Rooster Hat by the fan-base.
  • Nietzsche Wannabe: The game includes both "passive" and "hostile" nihilists.
  • Nightmare Fuel: One level takes place in a zombie apocalypse: you see zombies devour a man, then you are instructed to "save the woman and child." Which is easy enough to do, if you can overlook the fact that you didn't get a chance to intervene in time before they watched Daddy die.
  • Nigh Invulnerability: Strangely, priests and longcats are almost completely invincible; the only known ways to eliminate them are Edison, black holes, nuclear weapons, and other sources of one hit kills
  • Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book: Things like Cthulhu, Shamblers, Shoggoths, the Nuckelavee, and various other nasties are done in the same simplified, childish art style as everything else.
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Post 217 is a fantastic example of this: there are robot zombies. Which are defeated by riding a dinosaur through time.
    • There's also robot hamsters and robosaurs.
    • And ninja sharks.
  • Noodle Implements: ...the game!
  • No Waterproofing In The Future: Water shorts out a variety of electrical items, and some you wouldn't expect to be electrical at all.
  • Nuns Are Mikos: in combat capabilities, anyways.
  • Obvious Beta: There's numerous amounts of glitches in this game, some better than others.
    • In 5th Cell's defense, it would have been impossible to test the entire game out, so glitches are expected.
    • In addition, most of the glitches are on users playing with the DSi, which the game wasn't programmed or tested for, because Nintendo didn't give 5th Cell a DSi dev kit and they assumed that the code between the two systems would be compatible.
  • One Hit Kill: "Edison" will eat anything alive in one bite, including you.
    • This doesn't work on the Kraken, sadly.
    • Or robosaur.
    • Or longcat.
  • One Million BC: Reachable via time machine.
  • Overly Long Gag: The hint of puzzle level 10-9 goes on for about 20 hint boxes and, rather then giving any actual hint to the straightforward level, contains a somewhat amusing rant. Something about coffee, steak, and rules to live your life on.
  • Paper Thin Disguise: Witches won't attack you if you wear a witch hat.
  • Powered By A Forsaken Child: The Neogaf vehicle is powered by a gamer. If you interact with the Neogaf logo instead of riding it, a gamer will pop out and the logo will no longer fly.
  • Pre Order Bonus: Maxwell's Nice Hat, as a matter of awesome fact.
  • Rewriting Reality
  • Rule Of Cool: There's a plot, but who cares when you've just turned into Gordon Freeman and are using a crowbar to beat the tar out of zombie robots with God fighting alongside you?
    • Theres a plot?
  • Self Imposed Challenge: "Stump the Dictionary" was popular when the game was demonstrated at E3. Some gamers have also sworn to complete the game with specific-item runs (like beating every level with a dinosaur, or stuff like that).
  • Sidetracked By The Gold Saucer: The title screen sandbox mode is all you need to have a good time. Everything beyond tapping the "START" icon is just a bonus.
  • Shout Out: A trailer showed Maxwell with a hazmat suit minus the helmet, glasses, and a crowbar. And the video that shows Feep (linked above) also has "GAF" summon the NeoGAF logo.
    • Proton pack is also a usable item (but don't try to use it on ghost in the coffin, though).
    • "Boomstick" aliases to "shotgun".
      • The Necronomicon is also an item. It turns anything that lives into a humanoid skeleton warrior. Said skeletons will be allied with you... only when you're holding the book. And when it runs out of ammo, it drops... and turns into another skeleton which, along with its kin, will attack you.
    • Completing levels in certain ways earn specific merits. The merits screen bears the phrase "Merit Get!", a shout-out to Super Mario Sunshine's trope-naming phrase.
    • There are levels themed after BioShock, The Wizard Of Oz and Back To The Future.
    • One level has you retrieving a pirate's pocket watch. There are multiple treasure chests about, a crocodile, and a hidden puffer fish. Where is the pocket watch? Inside the croc.
    • I heart nuckelavees!
    • Don't forget the awesome Pac Man level.
    • Summon an archaeologist, and you will get someone who resemble a certain Adventurer Archaeologist, complete with a habit to pick up a whip from the ground if they see one.
    • Typing "Manbearpig" will give you a minotaur.
  • Soundtrack Dissonance: See comments regarding Grotesque Cute and Sugar Apocalypse. The music remains cheerful throughout.
  • Spoil At Your Own Risk: A massive GameFAQs crackdown resulting from an early release, in which hundreds of topics were moderated for discussing gameplay before the street date.
  • Star Shaped Coupon: Starites.
  • Start Screen: It acts like a sandbox mode, allowing you to just play around and summon whatever you want.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: Dynamite, C4, nukes — you've got plenty of options.
  • Stuffed Into The Fridge: Literally; with a shrink ray, it's possible to stuff a fridge into a fridge.
  • Sugar Apocalypse: It is fully within your power to turn Maxwell's world into a thoroughly Crapsaccharine World, through whatever means you deem appropriate.
  • Summon Bigger Fish: You can summon anything, so this is a natural way to solve combat-related problems.
  • Take That: "Virgin" maps to "gamer."
    • Also, an Indy Escape level has the hint, "The fourth one is bad." (Pay note to said trope's name.)
  • Teleporters And Transporters: You can summon them, and they take you to a variety of places such as outer space or 5th Cell's office.
  • Time Machine: One of the summonable objects. It allows you to either move forward or backwards in time.
  • The Kid With The Remote Control: Maxwell may as well be the king of this trope. Death? God? Cthulhu?
  • Throw It In: When someone actually succeeded at "Stump The Dictionary" at E3 (like with "plumbob"), the devs made a note to add the word before release. They also threw in the references to Feep's infamous post.
  • Too Dumb To Live: A good deal of summoned human characters tend to chow down on any can of arsenic they see.
    • You can cure them, however, with "dimercaptosuccinic acid". Just like in real life. And Ruby Quest.
  • Total Party Kill: Try typing in "atom bomb" or "tsunami". Or drop a meteor from high up.
  • The Dev Team Thinks Of Everything: Most Triumphant Example.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill
  • The Tetris Effect: After playing Scribblenauts, you'll find yourself coming up with ludicrous ways to solve problems in real life, even if you can't actually do that. Like thinking "I wish I could call Einstein to beat that stupid physics teacher up..." or "I wish I could go home riding a velociraptor...". Possibilities are endless.
  • Videogame Cruelty Potential: As suggested by the devs themselves: "Make an elephant, make a pool, drop the elephant in the pool, make a shark..." And watch the fun begin!
    • You can put a baby into an oven.
    • To quote the ESRB's justification for the E10+ rating: "a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man". IANMTU.
    • Please, please don't put any kind of cat and dog together. I died a little inside.
  • Ultimate Showdown Of Ultimate Destiny: This is possibly the only game where you will ever have George Washington fight Cthulhu. Or God fight Leeroy Jenkins. Or Satan fight Bigfoot. Or...
  • Universal Drivers License: Maxwell. In addition to "mundane" vehicles like cars, pogo sticks, and boats, Maxwell can also drive tanks, helicopters, and ride dragons, unicorns...
  • Unobtanium: Easily obtained, in your choice of Adamantium or Mythril. Both are pretty much indestructible.
  • Villain Decay: It's hard to take Cthulhu seriously when it's tied to a tree, under your mind control and crouching beside you like a loyal puppy.
    • Aww... Wait, WHAT!?!
    • It's even possible to ride Cthulhu if you use mind control on him. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN RIDE CTHULHU.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Part of the Combinatorial Explosion: Dracula runs from Garlic (or Garlic Bread), Bigfoot runs from Cameras, and atheists run from God.
    • Unless those atheists have a shotgun.
  • Weapons Are Useless: "Godmother" turns any weapon summoned into a rose.
  • Western Terrorists: What you summon when you type in "Terrorist," "Anarchist," "Arsonist," or "Madman."
  • Wide Open Sandbox: While it's technically a puzzle-platformer, Scribblenauts' central conceit is going to make it hard to resist playing it like one of these. To that end, the dev team has thoughtfully designed the start screen to be sort of a "sandbox mode", so you can have hours of fun without even loading your save file!
  • The Wiki Rule: Here.
  • With This Herring: Completely and utterly avoided. There's no such thing as "low-level equipment" when you've got everything, after all.  *
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Maxwell isn't shy about wearing women's clothing. Or babies' clothing.
  • Why Did It Have To Be Snakes: Pegasus is afraid of dolls.
  • Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him: You're going to kill him with a ninja riding a dinosaur and wielding a rocket launcher? Why don't ya just suck him into a black hole? (Answer: because it's more fun that way.)
  • What Measure Is A Nonhuman: The 'clone' will not become infected by a zombie. Something of an Unfortunate Implication.
  • Writing Around Trademarks: "Taser", "frisbee", and "lightsaber" are not in the dictionary whereas "stun gun", "flying disc" and "laser sword" are.
  • Yandere: Summon a "girlfriend" or "cheerleader". Then summon a "psycho" or "stalker". Notice the similarities, yet notice the difference.
  • Your Mom: Note that just "Mom" summons a normal woman whereas "Your Mom" summons a zombie. Hmmmm...

T-V-T-R-O-P-E-S *poof*
