* EliteMooks: A few show up in 3. The first two fight the protagonist as a pair, forcing him to defend himself until he grabs a weapon to deal with them, while a third one shows up a few moments later and actually lands a few hits on him before going down.

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: A mook throws a few weapons at the protagonist in No. 3, but obviously none of them land. The protagonist himself has much more success when throwing things, though.

* ArtShift: A notable feature of the series is how the stick figures' proportions tend to change mid-episode, becoming shorter and stockier during the drag-out, one-on-one fights.
* ButtMonkey: The boss in 6, which is just an interactive movie where he gets repeatedly taken out without any attempts to fight back.
* CallBack: The third scene in 6, where the protagonist throws a bunch of weapons into him, shoots him with a bow, and then unloads a gun into him, is clearly based on a similar scene in the very first animation, where the hero was the one on the receiving end.
