* AirVentPassageway - Trigger is [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1067778/page-151-hey-at-least-its-not-all-going-to-waste/ good at using these]].
* AliensSpeakingEnglish - Technically, there are no extraterrestrials, but everyone speaking English is still true.
* AnAssKickingChristmas - [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090288/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-1/ "Bridget and Alphonse's Horrifying Christmas"]]

** 2011's [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1156080/page-pop-tarts-spiraling-towards-the-earth/ April Fools]] was a little... [[DadaComics unusual]].
* AuthorAvatar - Ichabod is occasionally accused of being this. The author denies it, saying he just wanted Ichabod to ''look'' like him to for cosplaying purposes.
* BadSanta - [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090298/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-10/ And ugly, too]].
* BadassAdorable - Bridget the Zombie.
* BeQuietNudge - Bridget shuts Alphonse up in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1068901/page-179-who-wouldnt-believe-that-face this]] page, lest he should give away [[spoiler:the fact that they were the ones who hired Skye]].

[[caption-width-right:350:Yes, the cast is large]]
''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/Far_Out_There/ Far Out There]]'' is an often cute, sometimes-dark-humored ensemble webcomic by Simon Ladd. It's the comic where things happen... '''IN SPACE!!!'''
----
Tropes used include:
* AbsentAliens - Made clear [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1026516/page-1-it-begins/ right at the start]].
* AirVentPassageway - Trigger is [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1067778/page-151-hey-at-least-its-not-all-going-to-waste/ good at using these]].
* AliensSpeakingEnglish - Technically, there are no extraterrestrials, but everyone speaking English is still true.
* AnAssKickingChristmas - [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090288/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-1/ "Bridget and Alphonse's Horrifying Christmas"]]
* AprilFoolsDay - The ol' "fake ending" gag was employed in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1067764/page-wait-what/ 2009]] and again in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1071310/page-oh-not-again/ 2010]].
** 2011's [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1156080/page-pop-tarts-spiraling-towards-the-earth/ April Fools]] was a little... [[DadaComics unusual]].
* AuthorAvatar - Ichabod is occasionally accused of being this. The author denies it, saying he just wanted Ichabod to ''look'' like him to for cosplaying purposes.
* BadSanta - [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090298/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-10/ And ugly, too]].
* BadassAdorable - Bridget the Zombie.
* BeQuietNudge - Bridget shuts Alphonse up in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1068901/page-179-who-wouldnt-believe-that-face this]] page, lest he should give away [[spoiler:the fact that they were the ones who hired Skye]]. (Of course, neither of them can talk so one wonders why she bothered)
* BigDamnHeroes - Occurs when Sophia and Clare [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1080545/page-286-well-now-that-was-unexpected/ finally]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1080546/page-287-meet-my-deus-ex-machina-er-i-mean-boss/ respond]] to Ichabod's call for help.
** Seen again when Tabitha saves Bridget and Alphonse [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090299/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-11/ from]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090302/bridget-and-alphonses-horrifying-christmas-page-12/ Santa]].
* BlankWhiteEyes - Layla, while experiencing [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1071305/page-235-just-getting-her-up-there-must-have-been-really-awkward/ an exceptional level of stress]].
* BrainInAJar - [[spoiler:Dr. Vanderslice has a whole room of them.]]
* CasualInterstellarTravel
* CatSmile - Trigger does this on occasion, especially if [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1065764/page-115-triggers-big-book-on-pranks/ pranks are involved]].
* CharacterBlog - Borderline example: the most prominent characters have their own personal [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/FOTradio/ Pandora Radio stations]].
* CowerPower - Alphonse, most of the time.
* CursedWithAwesome - Avatar. Immortality and indestructibility sound great on the surface, but what good is Eternal Life when you have no life?
* CuteBruiser - Bridget again.
* DoesNotLikeShoes - Trigger, ever since he let the Jesus Freaks dress him.
* EnfantTerrible - Megaweapon is bad enough just judging from what [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1136492/page-329-and-now-back-to-plot-a/ is actually shown.]] The stuff that's only talked about is [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1130462/page-327-boys-will-be-hellspawn/ even worse]].
* FaceDoodling - Happens to Ichabod [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1065768/page-119-that-escalated-quickly/ once]]... among other things.
* FieryRedhead - Layla. Oh boy...
* FishOutOfWater - Trigger.
* FlatWhat - Avatar's reaction to [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1191539/page-348-i-was-not-prepared-for-that/ this]].
* FruitOfTheLoon - Ichabod [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027073/page-6-enter-the-nitpicker really]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027821/page-63-your-ideas-arent-as-cool-as-you-think seems]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1028457/page-93-at-least-they-dont-have-to-sit-next-to-any-screaming-babies to]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090283/page-304-i-hope-they-got-a-good-deal-at-least like]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1228030/page-363-artfully-passing-the-buck apples]].
* FunTShirt - Trigger is easily amused by [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027823/page-65-you-are-what-you-wear/ these.]]
* HalloweenCosplay - See below.
* HolidayNonupdate - Averted to an absurd degree (especially at Christmas).
* LikeBrotherAndSister - Trigger and Layla are most emphatically [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027274/page-28-i-dont-think-thats-very-funny-at-all/ in this kind of relationship.]]
* MadScientist - MANY in the cast: Tabitha, Dr. Caligari, Dr. Vanderslice, Avatar's creators, and so on and so forth.
* MamaBear - Tabitha
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy - Bridget and Alphonse
* MismatchedEyes - Skye and her [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1068887/page-166-gosh-where-can-i-get-one/ x-ray eye]].
* MotherlyScientist - Tabitha. [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1071294/page-225-a-heartwarming-show-of-zombie-affection So]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1072517/page-267-mothering-instinct VERY]] [[http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a183/blitzkrieg1701/BridgetAlphonsedressup.jpg much.]]
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper - Avatar's robe. See [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027705/page-58-a-nitpicker-should-know-better-than-to-give-kids-money this page]].
* NamesToRunAwayFrom - "Megaweapon."
* NerdGlasses - Ichabod's massive eye-wear.
* NoNewFashionsInTheFuture - At least where the main characters are concerned.
* NoodleIncident - Ichabod tells Kiki about one of his previous adventures, but we [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1080526/page-269-clearly-hes-devastated only hear part of it.]] Where DID that epileptic pig come from?
** Ichabod brings up another [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090124/page-295-i-have-no-idea-where-claires-gun-went several pages later.]] SHOULD he have known those Space Whales had "mommy issues?"
* NotGrowingUpSucks - Avatar.
* OddShapedPanel - This comic [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027271/page-25-one-big-happy-family lives]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027706/page-59-well-she-is-a-girl by]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027835/page-76-warning-sudden-plot-shifts-may-result-in-neck-injury this]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1028455/page-91-one-mans-trash-is-another-mans-misidentified-trash/ trope,]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1068896/page-174-now-the-word-thinking-sounds-funny-to-me seriously.]] The most jarring thing it can do now is a [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1069365/page-188-alan-moore-called-he-wants-his-page-back normal layout.]]
* ThePerryMasonMethod - Ichabod unintentionally [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1028448/page-85-what-the-sam-hill-oh-forget-it-dramatic-twist/ pulls this on Trigger]]. It's "unintentional" because [[spoiler:Ichabod was actually trying to deflect attention off of HIMSELF.]]
* SeriousBusiness - Ichabod makes a '''career''' out of it.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend - in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027274/page-28-i-dont-think-thats-very-funny-at-all this]] early page.
** And again, under more [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090281/page-302-well-that-was-almost-romantic/ awkward circumstances]]

* SpaceClothes - The main characters tend to look pretty normal (see NoNewFashionsInTheFuture) but background and secondary characters tend to be [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027695/page-48-what-we-have-here-is-a-failure-to-communicate/ a]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1067787/page-158-three-semi-related-pieces/ bit]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1124574/page-325-one-costume-change-later/ more]] [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1185908/page-346-for-science/ fanciful]].
* SpaceIsNoisy - The Exposition actually [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1028454/page-90-dont-never-but-never-cut-off-the-capn makes tire-squealing noises]] when it stops abruptly.
* SpaceWhale - Mentioned by Ichabod in [[http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090124/page-295-i-have-no-idea-where-claires-gun-went/ one page]]. Apparently, they can have "mommy issues."
