** The Zubat in ''Tricks of the Trade'' has an utterly suck-y life, [[IJustWantToHaveFriends just wanting a partner]] but being stuck in constant wonder trade limbo for being a ComMon. When it does find a trainer in Katie and [[TrueCompanions eventually evolves to a Crobat]], the punchline of the strip reveals she was doing it [[GottaCatchThemAll just for Pokedex completion]] before dunking it into the PC, presumably indefinitely. The look on Crobat's face is an expression of utter betrayal, and it's as hilarious as it is sad.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: If her name weren't Katie more people would probably mistake her AuthorAvatar for a guy, it doesn't help that she almost always wears the [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/pokes3.png male protagonists' outfits in her Pokemon strips.]] Anyone who was still confused for some reason finally got the answer shoved in their faces with the Kickstarter video, which shows her in person. [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/hair-of-the-cat Her new haircut]] doesn't help either.

** [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/the-flames-of-war "The Flames of War"]] is about how political people on the internet are triggered by ''anything'', even an adorable animal video. Six years later, the White House posts [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRtgsdtDc-4 a video of its new cat]], and [[https://www.rawstory.com/willow-biden-white-house/ the news]] saw that the comments were basically exactly the same:
--->'''Jay.rutland.77:''' The cat was probably sacrificed for some demonic ritual
--->'''Patsygram:''' They'll euthanize the cat when it scratches someone. Poor abused cat.
--->'''Jenirunsdisney:''' Grow a brain and think for yourself instead of being in mango Mussolini’s cult. Can’t wait to see you cry in November. Or sooner when your orange overlord is in prison.
--->'''sharonxxrose:''' Biden will be in jail or dead and a Republican will take over again… either Trump or Ramaswamy. No more corrupt Biden’s trying to throw their opponents in jail. Get your safe space ready.
--->'''_jesslev1981_:''' Can’t people just enjoy the cat?!

** [[ButtMonkey Roy]]. He often comes across as crass and rude, and most of the Smash Bros. contestants either barely remember him or [[TheFriendNobodyLikes barely tolerate his antics]]. Despite this, he's one of the more popular characters in the comics, and is often cited as one of the main reasons they wanted Roy to come back into ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]]'' at all. Crosses into FridgeBrilliance for ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' fans. Roy is something of a TierInducedScrappy, as his stats make him one of the worst lords in the entire franchise.

* FridgeBrilliance: The ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' parody has Alan try to exploit RewritingReality by pulling a happy ending out of his ass, which fails to work. A big part of the game's {{Meta Fiction}}al musings is that a story can't have a happy ending "just happen," it has to be true to the plot (ie, earned) or it's no good. The "real" Alan didn't even consider trying that because the Dark Presence shores up plot holes by exploiting them.
