* IKnewIt: Steele's original plan for Episode 5, which was to be the final episode, would have had Carl destroying the entire planet. However, after Episode 4 was released, almost every commenter was able to predict this, and Steele ended up cancelling the episode, and by extension, the series, until its revival in 2014, once he had decided on a legitimately surprising way to end the series. Paul saying that nothing Carl did surprised him anymore was RealitySubtext; the ''audience'' wasn't being surprised anymore and the creator decided to go a different direction than what everyone had assumed.

* FandomNod: In episode 3, Carl is surprised to learn Paul is male and that he thought he was a woman because of the hat. Presumably, this was a reference to how many fans assumed Paul was female, as it had never been stated in the two prior episodes.



* ViewerGenderConfusion: Many people, including ''Carl himself'', thought Paul was a woman. Mostly the hat.

to:

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Many people, including ''Carl himself'', thought Paul was a woman. Mostly the hat. The fact that Paul and Carl argue LikeAnOldMarriedCouple and (although it was always explicit that Paul had a male voice actor) Paul's voice easily being able to pass off as a man doing an impression of a woman probably contributed to it.

Zero Context Examples. Likely misuse (an entire episode and a spoiler hardly qualify for this trope).


* SignatureScene
** The very first episode.
** [[spoiler:Carl jumping off of the bridge at the very end of the series.]]

* MemeticMutation: Second only to ''WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn'', this is easily Creator/FilmCow's most quoted show.
** "Caaaaaarrrrlllll, that kills people!"
** "My stomach was makin' the rumblies, that only hands would satisfy."
** "I will not apologize for art."
** "That is what forgiveness sounds like: screaming and then silence."
** "Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence. I ''don't'' understand how you keep forgetting that."
** "Whitey's gotta pay. And the payment is baby hands."
** "I'm the Henry Ford of human meat."
** "Bad idea, Nikolai!"
** "That's probably the basilisk. It won't bother us. The stupid thing only eats ''Chipotle''!"
** "You remember the Blood Vortex, in Paris? Yeah. That was my favorite..."
** It's a popular practice to have characters from other media reenacting scenes from the series in their own varied ways.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Carl actually ''enjoy'' the atrocities he commits, or does he just do them to [[AttentionWhore make Paul keep paying attention to him]]? The second half of the series strongly implies that the latter is true, especially considering that Carl "finishing his work" may have been [[spoiler:blowing up the Earth (which would have ended his life too, while not contradicting the WordOfGod, and guaranteed that no aquatic or underground life survived). Seeing Paul dead could have ended his desire to truly finish his work, causing him to just take his own life.]]

Plus, while [[CardCarryingVillain it just further illustrates Carl's horribleness]], you've got to admit: [[spoiler:[[CallBack the Meat Dragon]]]] is actually pretty cool.

* [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crosses The Line So Many Times It Pretty Much Doesn't Exist Any More]]: ''Everything'' Carl does, at least until he draws a new line purely for the sake of crossing it again. The series ''itself'' crosses it a third time by the halfway point, going from BlackComedy to straight psychodrama.
