* ComicBookTime: The seasons pass like in the real world, but Derek never gets any older. Nor does his summer Internship ends. As of Season 2, Episode 5, Derek has been 19 and intern for three in Universe years at least. The Farmer Bumper Corn Corridor is introduced in season 2 episode 2 as a follow up to the previous year's CornMaze (which would coincide with Derek's start at QWRP). In episode 4 of the same season, Derek has gone missing while going to explore the corridor's replacement. Episode 5 is explicitly 3 days after episode 4, and Derek mentions the Corn Corridor was a year ago.

** Therpston county uses the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_system Westminster political system]], which would mean it is not in the United States.

* DoubleEntendre: Every single title of the Tugger Nutts series of books as well as the character's own name.

* CluelessChickMagnet: In episode 26, Derek comes down with a "sore throat" that turns his normally high-pitched voice RatedMForManly. He thinks the effect this has on women [[EvenTheGuysWantHim (and at least one guy)]] were because he's infectious and they don't want to catch what he has.

** The main news item of episode 8; a collision on the Shaughnessy river between "A sapphic adventure barge" and "a replica Scandinavian u-boat with spinners welded to the sides". Those would be the sponsor of the previous two episodes: "Granny Marges' Man-Free Barges" and "The Libertine Submarine Limousine".

* LongTitle: When Ball Hinkley wins Raymond's Talc Barn in the property lottery, the place gets renamed to "Ball Hinkley's Raymond's Talc Barn".

* {{Corpsing}}:
** While the show is improvised, they do re-record lines for a more professional tone. However, if a line or its delivery causes everyone to break into laughter they sometimes edit the laughter back in from the failed take.
** This ends in season 2. [[WordOfGod Graham on twitter]] explained that leaving the laugh breaks in was always a divisive issue in both fans and on the creative side, and with Qwerpline have more of its own lore, it was felt by season 2 the breaks were too distracting. As a segment of the fandom really liked them, he mentioned they are considering perhaps keeping them as an after credit blooper reel type thing.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: It's possible "Lake Indianname" is pronounced as "Lake Indian Nah-meh".

* {{Calvinball}}: The local favorite sport of Sideball. We are never given the full rules, other than it involves kicking a ball, allows for up to [[AnimalAthleteLoophole 6 nonhuman players]] (though Raccoons are prohibited), that everyone in town can be called to fill in for a missing player at any time, and that it's legal to kill other players. Each time Sideball is presented, more complex and often unexplained rules and positions are mentioned and added.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: A local board game designer tried his hand at making a children's game. He was worried that dice were a choking hazard, so half the DoorStopper rulebook is just probability charts. He wanted to encourage teamwork, so most of the gameplay is tedious committee proceedings. Just the setup involves an entire day filling out actuarial tables. Again, this is a game for small children.
