Per discussion with a TRS thread that pulled Everythings Better With Penguins

Added DiffLines:

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In one story, nuclear tests in Antarctica create a Franchise/{{Godzilla}}-like penguin who surfs on an ice float to UsefulNotes/EastGermany and starts to wreak havoc.


Added DiffLines:

* SurpriseParty: One short story starts with a German "white trash" guy watching TV. Then, someone rings his door, and when he opens, a hoard of penguins enters, starts a party. When he demands to know what this is all about, they show him that today's "international penguin's day". He's happy with that and joins the party.

Two defunct tropes—penguins being more recent.

** Also inverted in one story where nuclear tests in Antarctica create a Franchise/{{Godzilla}}-like penguin who surfs on an ice float to UsefulNotes/EastGermany and starts to wreak havoc. (He's brought down by the Little Asshole - who wrote the story BTW.)
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: One story about a guy with a phobia for sharks. It starts with the fact that he'd never enter water deeper than a foot... not even a puddle... or a bathtub... and then gets really weird, when he claims there are miniature sharks causing diseases and (shark-themed) madness... and then, the shark police takes him away (did they?)
