Added DiffLines:

* ClicheStorm: The series uses a lot of FracturedFairyTale and SubvertedKidsShow tropes, but doesn't really do anything new with them, with a standard UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist causing a typical [[GrossoutShow gross]] and [[BloodyHilarious gory]] SugarApocalypse already depicted in works like ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1''.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* TastesLikeDiabetes: Happy is too sickeningly adorable. Also, [[spoiler:Gert]], after regaining her goodness.

* WhatAnIdiot: Queen Cloudia. Instead of actually just helping Gertrude when it became obvious she was having trouble performing the tasks needed to get the key, her ultimate solution is to try and murder Gertrude via [[spoiler:trapping her in Fairyland forever]] rather than just give Gert the key and spare everyone a whole lotta trouble.

** Similarly, is Gertrude trapped in Fairyland for 27 years because of her incompetence in comprehending its cryptic rules? Or has she been trapped there by [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Queen Cloudia and the Fairyland Council]] for their amusement?

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In the final few pages of the final issue is Gert [[spoiler: saying 'Fuck Fairyland' as a way of coping with how much her normal world life sucks and masking her desire to return? Or is it her realizing it doesn't matter if she's in the human world or Fairyland, life would still suck, just in different ways regardless?]]

* DuelingWorks: Not exactly "duelling" since they're published by the same company, but it makes an interesting companion piece to ''ComicBook/{{Birthright}}''. They both [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] the "child lost in magical world" genre by showing the child grown to adulthood in the magical world, they're both violent and gory, and both feature highly morally ambiguous protagonists. However, while ''I Hate Fairyland'' is a BlackComedy set in a cartoonish CrapsaccharineWorld which the protagonist is trapped in and trying to escape, ''Birthright'' is a serious UrbanFantasy story set on Earth which the protagonist is trying to bring the magical world into.

** Assuming time works the same on both sides. If it's more similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (Year inside=day outside, that would mean Happy was alive at around the same time, and that might explain Gert's lack of aging. She actually is, it's just so slow that she hasn't noticed.

* FridgeLogic: An example in issue #13. Larry dreams of what his life would be like without Gertrude and we see that she was his first assignment. But, in the dream Gertrude is killed by the portal in the floor and Happy is Larry's first assignment, instead. Except, that isn't possible. It could just be Larry combining recent events in his mind, but he was with Gertrude for 27 years when they met Happy. If Gertrude was killed by the portal in her floor, Happy couldn't have been Larry's replacement assignment, she wouldn't have been born, yet.
