  • Misaimed Fandom: The rather frightening inquiries of "Why doesn't Codex like Zaboo? He's sweet!" Half the show is spent with Codex angsting over being stalked by Zaboo, but there are fans who don't get that his behavior is meant to be wrong. Partially justified in that Zaboo's stalking is both so over the top and ultimately non-threatening that it ironically illustrates that, had he ANY emotional maturity in approaching her at all, they would have made a good couple. Lampshaded by Codex's nonplussed reactions and comments about his speedy acceptance of her real feelings at the conclusion of Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3.
    • As of the end of season four, Codex does seem to be developing feelings towards him. However, that is after he has abandoned his stalking ways and grown a little as a person.
  • Sequel Difficulty Drop: The second game is definitely easier than the first, due to making it less likely that your family members could randomly die off.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: There are ten-year-old girls who are fans of the song "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar", which is pretty much about cybersex.
  • The Woobie: Codex's entire character is Woobie incarnate, reaching its peak at the end of Season 2.
    "I'm an ego-half-empty kind of girl."
    • Zaboo also sometimes qualifies for this. The rest of the time you want to smack him upside the head. Perhaps it's that Woobie-dom that makes you want to smack him upside the head as opposed to writing him off as a creepy stalker. Bladezz became season 3's Woobie.
    • Vork's grandfather died and he's scraping by on his Social Security checks.
