History Webcomic / BrawlInTheFamily

* TriangRelations: Type 4 between Samus, Captain Falcon, and Snake in "Snake in the Grass".

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Samus in [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/386-hotstuff/ this strip.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Dedede, of course, who was much, much more penguinish when he was a kid. His father was a photorealistic Emperor penguin, and his mother regurgitated chum for him to eat, despite them all living in a suburban house.

* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Who'd have thunk that someone like King Dedede would make a super cute, ultra-huggable plushie as well? [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/images/dollpic28.jpg BitF, that's who.]] Also functions as a BrickJoke from [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/182-present/ this comic]].

** The trope gets turned UpToEleven in the SeriesFinale, "Meet Me At Final Destination".

* SuddenlySpeaking: Throughout the webcomic, Link never utters a single word... until comic 323, in which he is [[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaCDIGames possessed by the Philips CDi]]. After that, he remains silent for the rest of the comic's run until comic 597, where he briefly turns into his [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda animated series incarnation]].

* HiddenInPlainSight: Played for laughs [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/smallbreak/ here]]. The idea is to look for Waluigi in the midst of [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters a MASSIVE host of characters]]... [[spoiler:but he's that easy to find because ''everyone in his immediate vicinity runs away from him''.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/smallbreak/ This]] strip. Even ''[[Literature/WheresWaldo Waldo]]'' is in the middle, if you look hard enough! [[spoiler:(behind Bowser Jr.'s easel)]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Meta Knight {{lampshades}} the fact that Kirby ''and'' Dedede have this [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/176-turnaboutkirby6/ here]], except that Kirby's ChaoticGood and Dedede's ChaoticEvil.

* VerbalTic: [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]], to the point where it resembles Tourette's.

* IAteWhat: Given Kirby's habits, [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/160-pancakes/ that's kind of inevitable.]]

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/200-odetominions/ "It's pronounced 'Crackin'..."]]

* ExtremeOmnivore: Kirby has eaten [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/11-zombie/ a zombie]], [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/64-bob-omb/ a Bob-omb]], [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/172-turnaboutkirby2/ Miles Edgeworth]] [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/23-universe/ the universe]], and... [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/82-superstar/ something.]]

* DramaticIrony: In [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/311-cocoonacademy1/ Cocoon Academy]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Professor Dragmire]] tells his class that every one of them will be a hero someday. His class contains [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Dedede]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]], [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Jessie]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Veran]], [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]], and [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry K. Rool]].

** [[invoked]] [[ShrugOfGod Matt also would like think]] that the guy [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/746-herecomesfrederick/ insistently]] [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/499-theweapontriangle/ pesters]] ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Frederick]]'' is an ancestor of the annoying ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Bug Catcher]]'' that [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/308-myawesomemagneton/ constantly]] [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/430-thebestpokemonteamever/ pesters]] the Pokemon Trainer.

* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/02/22/219-moveset/ this]] episode humorously deconstructs the Pokemon games' use of this trope.

* TheCameo: [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Ralph]] shows up in strip 458, giving Daisy Luigi's present. [[Videogame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Vivian]] makes a non-speaking appearance in one comic.

* EasterEgg: If you look at the board on [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/534-iapl2/ It's A Plunderful Life Part 2]] you can see the Hanenbow Level from Brawl. Looking closer, you can see [[TheCameo Baton from Tadpole Treble]].

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: [[spoiler:[[{{XenobladeChronicles1 Shulk]] makes a cameo in one panel of Comic 599. (The one that says "Of friendly competition...")]]

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: [[spoiler:[[{{VideoGame/Xenoblade}} Shulk]] makes a cameo in one panel of Comic 599. (The one that says "Of friendly competition...")]]

* RealityEnsues: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/532-ravio/ Ravio]] learns what happens when you do business with monsters...
** Many of the comics have this as the joke. For example [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/78-landmaster/ Fox calling the Landmaster on a wooden boat.]]

* NotSoDifferent: King Dedede and Kirby. Meta Knight even calls the former out on it.

* BubblyClouds: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/238-heaven/ Strip 238]] subverts this (after showing the same result in strip 237).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/smallbreak/ This]] strip.
** Even ''[[Literature/WheresWaldo Waldo]]'' is in the middle, if you look hard enough! [[spoiler:(behind Bowser Jr.'s easel)]]

* DummiedOut: Before the move to Keenspot, http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/media/ revealed some hidden files.
* EatsBabies: Waluigi

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/251-finally/ In-universe example,]] also mimicking IGN's reactions at E3.

** [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/405-hotdate/ Hot Day]] has Fry Guy and [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Pandora]] rather angry about how a movie they just watched made them see a giant inferno be extinguished and then expected them to sympathize with the firemen. Their day doesn't improve much when [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Morpha]], a giant mass of water, comes along.

* ExactWords: Pit gets a blind date with a "leggy girl with a huge chest". [[spoiler:It's a Mimicutie, a ChestMonster from ''Uprising'' with long feminine legs.]]

* OneMarioLimit: [[VideoGame/FireEmblem Marth and Ike]] [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/526-smashvotersmarth/ voted for the wrong Roy]]
** Which actually gets averted in the actual game upon [[HilariousinHindsight Roy's return]]

* AccidentalMurder: The sun does this to the ''entire planet''; see the comic given in CreatorBreakdown for the full story.

** The [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/477-broyaleinthefamily-2/ comic]] in which [[YourCheatingHeart Raiden finds out Snake is in Brawl.]]
