** [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/05/31/249-nasty/ Comic 249 was foreshadowed in a previous April Fool's strip]] as containing "excess gore, racism, foul language, public indecency and frightening imagery." [[spoiler:Subverted in that it's all told in completely work-safe {{Visual Pun}}s (and a ''{{Persona 4}}'' ShoutOut).]]

* Christmas 2010 featured parodies of Christmas songs, including FrostyTheSnowman [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/14/298-jolly-happy-jerk-2/ here]], the Carol of the Bells [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/17/comic-299-carol-of-the-waa/ here]], and MariahCarey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/25/300-a-simple-request/ here]].
* Christmas 2011 featured a tongue-in-cheek homage to the SlippySlideyIceWorld, set to the tune of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/12/24/2863/ here]].

* MusicalEpisode: A number of times.

* MusicalEpisode: A number of times. The [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2008/12/19/115-htksc2/ first]] as a tribute to HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas, the [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2009/11/20/200-ode-to-minions/ second]] as a tribute to common minions, sung by [[spoiler: Bowser]], and Christmas 2010 featured parodies of Christmas songs, including FrostyTheSnowman [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/14/298-jolly-happy-jerk-2/ here]], the Carol of the Bells [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/17/comic-299-carol-of-the-waa/ here]], and [[MariahCarey Mariah Carey's]] "All I Want For Christmas Is You" [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/25/300-a-simple-request/ here]].

* BrickJoke: It turns out Dedede really ''does'' do the Grinch routine on Christmas every year.

* ShallIRepeatThat: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/05/12/333-advice/ Displayed here]] by [[OcarinaOfTime Kaepora Gaebora]].

** Another literal brick joke in 348

** We eventually see what his face looks like in the Cocoon Arc. It's not what you might think.
*** Or exactly what you think, if you played any Kirby game with him as a boss.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/02/02/213-conscience/ Or Bad Angel Worse Angel, in Ganondorf's case.]]

** [[spoiler: Played literally in "Cocoon Academy", Meta Knight was originally pink, like Kirby. He gets a blue color after swallowing Dark Matter.]]

* TomatoSurprise: At the end of the "Cocoon Academy" arc, we learn that [[spoiler:"Pinky" is actually Meta Knight. And Master Hand is Crazy Hand. Master Hand and Kirby never were actually in the strip at all.]]

* StopHavingFunGuys: [[invoked]] Parodied in [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/09/30/276-a-quality-game/ 276]].

* DramaticIrony: In [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/02/15/311-cocoon-academy-part-1/ Cocoon Academy]], [[TheLegendOfZelda Professor Dragmire]] tells his class that every one of them will be a hero someday. His class contains [[{{Kirby}} Dedede]], [[SuperMarioBros Bowser]], [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Jessie]], [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]], and [[DonkeyKongCountry K. Rool]].

* RunningGag: Several, including Kirby's "Food!", and Dedede and King Dedede's "We gotta get that Kirby!"

* GiantHandsOfDoom: [[GoldenSun Isaac]]'s Move [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2008/08/08/63-isaac/ vs.]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master Hand]].

* GrossUpCloseUp: Five times to date. Once [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2008/05/05/005-hdf/ Kirby]], then [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic151.html Waluigi]] (Third Comic), [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/08/26/266-lickitung-has-it-rough/ Weezing]] (particularly disturbing with the concept of the comic), [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/09/21/273-janitor-of-the-mushroom-kingdom-part-3/ Mario]] (as Eario sees him), and [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/12/14/298-jolly-happy-jerk-2/ Dedede]] (as Kirby sees him), and also [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/04/01/323-philips-box/ Link]].

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/01/10/301-new-year-new-adventures/ In the first issue of 2011]], Kirby says: "Here comes Adeleine and Meta Knight...". At the next panel that can be chosen, he says: "And [[OriginalCharacter him]] for some reason."
** In this same comic, that panel is also accessible after Adeleine says: "Okay, so we're all here!"
** [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/06/11/340-comic-review-e3-2011/ Another example]]: "It's a Nintendo party and everyone's invited! [[{{Pikmin}} Except him.]]"

** For whatever reason, several of the "Waluigi in the Family" strips are named for levels in ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime''.

** [[OrIsIt Or]] [[BadassGrandpa does]] [[HesBack he]]?
