* TeachHimAnger
* ThemeTuneRollCall: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flz-qkKEaOA C&A Cast Song]], written by Andy Weir himself, and performed by the band ''Moosebutter''.
* ThingOMatic - All of their inventions are named this way (with [[http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=571 one exception]]).

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
* TooDumbToLive: As mentioned above, Casey and Andy manage to get themselves killed or kill each other in a lot of very creative, effective ways. A submarine that uses a chimney for air supply? Come on.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Casey, Andy, Mary, Jenn, and even Lord Milligan are all based on real people.
** Well, Casey and Andy are. The others are just named after real people.
*** And in a possible deconstruction of this trope, the real Casey & Andy once went to a Halloween party as their comic-selves.
