* EnfantTerrible: During the flashback scene in the "Ghosts of Site B" arc showing the "Incident" at Site B, Miss Galore's young daughter cheerily asks a servant for alka-seltzer tablets to feed the seagulls. She then expresses disappointment when she can’t find any to "pop", feeds them to the Compies instead, and decides she wants her parents to destroy the "stupid island" out of boredom.


Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: The little girl being attacked by Compies at the beginning of the "Ghosts of Site B" arc is a bratty little sadist who tried to kill them with Alka-seltzer tablets. When they turn on her, it comes across as actually being almost deserved.

''Dungeons and Dinosaurs'' is a screencap CampaignComic based on Film/JurassicPark, and later, [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark its sequel]]. Not long ago, a DM named Steve decided to host a tabletop RPG with the help of his twin brother, Mike. Steve and Mike created an impressive, immersive campaign involving a dinosaur-based theme park, and invited their college friends Alan, Chris, and Liz to play. Chris brought his newbie roommate Ian along, and for a time, things were going smoothly… until Steve invited an infamously obnoxious player named Ned to participate.

* JerkassHasAPoint: As obnoxious as Ned is, he’s correct that Ian’s physical threats are completely out of line, that the low roll that got Nedry a faceful of Dilophosaurus venom should have been a dodge roll, and – though he says it in the rudest way possible – that Ian’s attempts with Liz are neither wanted nor reciprocated. His blowing off Lex's backstory in favor of writing a new one (making her an expert in computer programming and making sammiches), an odd combination of progressive and StayInTheKitchen that nevertheless lets the party survive.

* CreepyChild: Tim and Lex creep Alan out, due to their stubborn, creepy attitudes, with Alan calling them "Literature/HanselAndGretel meet Literature/TheStepfordWives". Tim has an odd fixation on control, and Lex insists Alan call her "Fraulein", and both seem to have an odd fixation with serving Ingen through fearsome science experiments.

* PrayerIsALastResort: In the climax, when every player save Ian is unarmed and cornered by raptors, Alan calls for "DivineIntervention" from "Polyhedros, Master of Shapes" as a gameplay mechanism; it has a [[MillionToOneChance 1-in-100 chance of working]]. According to Chris, it worked for Alan ''once'' before and it's been his go-to in impossible situations ever since.
