History YMMV / FireBringer

* RealitySubtext and RomanceOnTheSet: Brian Holden, Meredith Stepien's boyfriend (now, as of August 2019, husband) is cast as DumbMuscle comic relief in this show. A fan has [[http://rowanaconda.tumblr.com/post/165000748708/a-compilation-post-of-brian-reacting-to-meredith assembled hilarious screencaps]] of him in the background looking quietly upset at all her scenes where she falls in love with and kisses other characters in the show.

* EsotericHappyEnding: After [[spoiler:Sgorr is defeated, Rannoch orders [[LuddWasRight all the deer to stop using reason like humans]] and to split back into separate herds]], so not only are they going to keep fighting amongst themselves, they will have no defense against the humans. Then again, since it's set in the past, and humans know nothing of all the fantasical elements, this is likely [[JustifiedTrope justified]].

** The opening bars of "Backfire" (the cruel {{Reprise}} of "What If?" that begins "What if I tried something new... and it BACKFIRED?!") went viral out of context on Tiktok in 2019-20.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Zazzalil's hilariously blunt and yet essentially accurate manifesto that the driver of all technological progress is "the desire to be lazy".
** From the distant past of the Stone Age, she seems to both predict and openly desire the kind of futuristic dystopia portrayed in {{Film/Idiocracy}}. "I have a dream... that someday, nobody will need to know how anything works."

* RealitySubtext and RomanceOnTheSet: Brian Holden, Meredith Stepien's boyfriend (now, as of September 2018, fiancé) is cast as DumbMuscle comic relief in this show.

* EarWorm: According to Lauren Lopez, the cast considers "Climate Change" to be particularly catchy.

** Finally, just to make sure the whole cast is included, [[WordOfSaintPaul Jaime Lyn Beatty opined on the behind the scenes video]] that Schwoopsie, of all people, has a deep inner darkness, going with the stereotype of the standup comedian as a SadClown. Note that, much like Britta on Series/{{Community}}, her own name/catchphrase means a humiliating failure that's funny to people who observe it. Also note that she was apparently married to Jemilla for the whole first act but their relationship had so little passion no one noticed, and Jemilla unceremoniously dumps her for Zazzalil by the end of the play.

* MagnificentBastard: Sgorr's ambition would impress even [[Literature/WatershipDown General Woundwort]]. Especially since he's a hummel, or a ''stag with no antlers'' who ends up ''leading an army of three thousand deer''.

* SmurfetteBreakout: A meta one for Starkid; Meredjth Stepien and Lauren Lopez, long considered fan favorites, finally get to carry a show themselves as lead rather than supporting players.

* MemeticMutation: "I don't really wanna do the work today, I don't really wanna do the work today, I don't really wanna ''deeewww'' the work today..."
* HilariousInHindsight: Zazzalil' s eagerness to kill and eat Trunkell, considering Creator/LaurenLopez's character's reaction to being forced to hunt in Theatre/TheTrailToOregon.
