History VideoGame / StickItToTheMan

* WidgetSeries: More specifically, a WST, or Weird Scandinavian Thing.

[[WidgetSeries Yeah, it isn't exactly the most grounded of storylines.]]

* TheMan: Of course.

* BattleaxeNurse: The primary [[{{Mooks}} enemy]] type in the [[BedlamHouse Cuckoo’s Nest]] level, coming off as a [[PaletteSwap carbon]] [[UndergroundMonkey copy]] of The Man’s [[TheMenInBlack Agents]], down to the [[BrawnHilda burly physique]] and [[StunGuns taser]].

* OneHitPointWonder: Ray. One [[StunGuns shock]] and it’s back to the checkpoint for you!

* MrSeahorse: Becomes the fate of a chauvinistic general in Chapter Nine. It doesn't seem to affect how much one of his subordinates has a crush, however. The baby itself, however, is inconsolable because his insides are apparently uncomfortable and smell of whiskey.

* BabiesEverAfter: Ending cutscene [[spoiler: [[ButNowIMustGo after Ted returned to his home planet]]]] has Ray receive a letter from him that suggests he [[spoiler: may have left something behind... then a baby spaghetti arm pops out from Ray's head]].

* [[spoiler:AccidentalMurder:]] [[spoiler:In The Man’s base, Ray encounters a zombie who is in love with his trainer, who is trying to teach him how to fire a gun in order to become a {{Super Soldier}}. When provided with a gift to give her, the zombie accidentally engages her in a scuffle that leads to her being shot through the heart. Ray then [[BackFromTheDead resurrects]] her ([[CameBackWrong albeit]] as [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie another zombie]]), and she reciprocates the zombie’s affection. Ray uses their [[ThePowerOfLovw true love]] to solve another puzzle later on.

* PunchClockVillain: The numerous [[MenInBlack MiB]] [[{{Mooks}} Agents]] on your tail don’t actually seem all that bad, and can even come off as rather [[AffablyEvil chummy]], when you read their thoughts, as most muse that they’re [[OnlyInItForTheMoney only in it for the]] [[EvilPaysBetter money]] / [[SignedUpForTheDental healthcare benefits]], and indeed many [[ObliviouslyEvil don’t even seem to realize what they’re doing is bad]], with the subconscious of some even voicing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horror]] at [[HeelRealization realizing they’re playing from the wrong side]], but that doesn’t stop them from gunning for you. Their jobs, and quite possibly [[YouHaveFailedMe their lives]], are on the line, after all. Conversely, their {{Battleaxe Nurse}} counterparts in the [[BedlamHouse Cuckoo’s Nest]] level are ''much'' more [[CardCarryingVillain enthusiastic]] about their chosen profession for the most part.

* BigBad: The titular Man, always in silhouette.

* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Three of the game's chapters are these, all of which venture into Ray's inner thoughts.

* MoonLogicPuzzle: The solutions to the puzzles can be, uh, quite out there. If you need an intergallactic phone, what do you need to do? Of course, make a monkey think of donuts, use the donuts to make a robot chef make spaghetti for 10,000 people, and use the spaghetti and two empty tomato cans to make said phone.

* OneHitPointWonder: Ray.

* {{Telepathy}}: In the form of a pink spaghetti arm.

* {{Adorkable}}: Ray.

* BabiesEverAfter: Ending cutscene [[spoiler: [[ButNowIMustGo after Ted returned to his home planet]]]] has Ray receive a letter from him that suggests he [[spoiler: may have left something behind..."Daddy" *cue baby spaghetti arm popping from Ray's head*]].

* Acrofatic: The fairly-chunky Ray can perform some pretty impressive feats of running and jumping for his size.
