-->'''Hacken:''' "KILL THE CHICKENS! AN' KILL THE CHICKENS! AN' KILL THE CHICKENS! AN' KILL THE CHICKENS! AN' KILL THE CHICKENS!

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: A ''Stegosaurus'' coexisting with a ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex''.

In 2015, a spin-off series called ''All-Star Section Eight'', concerning Six-Pack trying to put together a new team after these years, debuted.

* BitingTheHandHumor: Ennis loved mocking whatever was new at DC. His CrisisCrossover contributions center on the characters talking about how stupid the whole thing is, both Mullet Superman and Superman-Blue were treated as downright blasphemous, and whenever Ennis brought up other characters who debuted in ''Bloodlines'', they were dismissed as pathetic losers (in particular, the ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'' tie-in features a LegacyCharacter of Gunfire who injures himself by accidentally turning his medipak into a gun and blows up after accidentally turning his own ass into a hand-grenade).

** The Hitman/Lobo special is one long TakeThat against the Main Man.

** One newspaper has articles titled "A cretin kicked a ball today and was paid too much money - why?" and "Some idiot with a stick and stupid trousers got cash for pushing a ball into a hole - eh?"

* UrineTrouble: In the ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'' tie-in, Tommy's leg gets peed on by a cat that has been genetically altered to be impossible to kill. Tommy proceeds to kick the cat through the window.

* EyeScream: Ringo in ''For Tomorrow''.

* YourVampiresSuck: Tommy shoots a vampire. It laughs, and heals. He shoots it a whole lot more. It can't heal fast enough to dodge the sunrise.

* {{Bulungi}}: One arc has Tommy and friends working as mercenaries in the fictional African country of Tynanda.

* WorthlessTreasureTwist: An annual focuses on a good-old-fashioned treasure hunt; a million dollars stolen in the closing days of the TheWildWest and buried in a coffin marked with a dollar sign - in a [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly graveyard]] with over [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles a thousand others]]. [[spoiler:The local sheriff finds out where it's buried, leaves his own men to be killed by a crime boss while he digs it up... only to discover that it was a million ''paper'' dollars, which the robbers had planned to dig up within a month or two. After a century? The sheriff staged a NewOldWest-style massacre in order to claim a box full of dry, rotten paper. Which Tommy and Natt bury him in]].

* WrongGenreSavvy: Hacken, in "Zombie Night at Gotham Aquarium," thinks he's in a traditional zombie movie, not a Franchise/DCUniverse "WeirdScience run amok" story. It's a subtle distinction, but a costly one for Hacken. [[spoiler:He [[AmputationStopsTheSpreads has his hand cut off]] after he was bitten out of concern that he'd get infected otherwise, but later learns that the virus can't be spread by biting and only affects individuals that are already dead, meaning he had hos hand removed for nothing.]]

* GroinAttack: Teigel's reaction to one of Tommy's attempts to get back together after he cheated on her. He should count himself lucky -- her reactions to two other attempts resulted in her punching him out and leaving him for an elephant to [[ToiletHumour urinate on]], and persuading him to strip naked before locking him in a small room with only a lion for company.
** Sixpack does this to ''Doomsday'' in a dream.

* BitingTheHandHumor: Ennis loved mocking whatever was new at DC. His CrisisCrossover contributions center on the characters talking about how stupid the whole thing is, both Mullet Superman and Superman-Blue were treated as downright blasphemous, and whenever Ennis brought up other characters who debuted in ''Bloodlines'', they were dismissed as pathetic losers (in particular, the ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'' tie-in features a LegacyCharacter of Gunfire who injures himself by accidentally turning his medipak into a gun and blows up after accidentally turning his ass into a hand-grenade).

** There's a pretty specific one at the expense of obscure superhero Gunfire in the DC One Million issue.

His CrisisCrossover contributions center on the characters talking about how stupid the whole thing is, both Mullet Superman and Superman-Blue were treated as downright blasphemous, and whenever Ennis brought up other characters who debuted in ''Bloodlines'', they were dismissed as pathetic losers ("[[KilledMidSentence OH MY GOD, I TURNED MY ASS INTO A HAND GRENADE]]--").

* AxCrazy: Most of the villains. And Hacken.

* BottomlessMagazines: Something of an inconsistent trope. It's either played straight, subverted, averted, lampshaded.

* BlackComedy

* BloodyHilarious: Oh, God.

* BoisterousBruiser: Hacken!

* CaptainErsatz: Night-Fist. Take one good look at his costume. I wonder whom he's meant to parody.
** More obscurely, Scarback, the ''T. rex'' in the dinosaurs arc seems to be one for Old One-Eye, a similar ''T. rex'' that appeared in the ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' series ''ComicBook/{{Flesh}}''. The arc where Scarback appears involves a hunter traveling back in time to kill dinosaurs, which was also the premise of ''Flesh''. Scarback is also described as "the old hag monster"-- the exact words repeated used to describe Old One-Eye.

* NoIndoorVoice: "I AM BAYTOR!"

* RaisingTheSteaks: "Zombie Night at Gotham Aquarium".
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The zombies in "Zombie Night at the Gotham Aquarium."

%%% "Depends on your point of view" is YMMV
%%%%* BlackAndGreyMorality:

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Tommy does this ''all the damn time''. Using his {{Telepathy}} gives him migraines(if he ''over''uses it, they last ''several days'') so he only uses it when there's an active threat to his life. He has no such limit to his XRayVision, but it takes a conscious effort to use it, so he often forgets about it save when he [[ImAManICantHelpIt looks through women's clothes]].

* NiceHat: Natt The Hat's hat. Over the course of the series it gets more and more damaged.

Do not confuse it with the comic series; ''[[ComicBook/Agent47BirthOfTheHitman Agent 47: Birth of the Hitman]]''.
