4->''"I started out Wonderella to make an off-the-clock superhero who was an average woman instead of some 24/7 warrior... though somewhere along the line, 'average woman' became a cross between [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} Elaine Benes]] and [[Creator/FScottFitzgerald Zelda Fitzgerald]]."''
5-->-- '''Justin Pierce'''
6
7''[[http://nonadventures.com The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]'' is a parody of the Creator/DCComics character ComicBook/WonderWoman and many superhero tropes in general. It focuses mainly on the mundane parts of the life of Wonderella, a lazy [[TheLadette Ladette]] superheroine who demonstrates [[PunchClockHero little interest in being a hero]]... or, in fact, doing anything much outside of partying, getting completely wasted, violence, and shopping. She is super-strong, super-durable, she can't fly but she can "totally jump hella high", [[FlightStrengthHeart when tied up she can hork up a giant octopus]], she can [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/28/balance-of-flower tell plants to die,]] and she can [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/26/power-couple curl up in a perfect ball when traumatized.]] She also has a rarely-used invisible blimp, and the tendency to make prejudiced remarks (especially about gay men, but pretty much every minority group gets a turn).
8
9From September 9, 2006, to August 28, 2016, the comic usually updated on Saturdays, and [[AltText was accompanied by a message from the writer]]. Starting in September 2016, Pierce decided to produce longer stories, requiring a more sporadic schedule. As of the beginning of 2024, it looks like the comic has ended, with no new updates since 2019.

11----
12!!This webcomic provides examples of:
13
14* ACupAngst: Mentioned in passing a couple of times, and the driving motivation for [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/08/31/infinite-chest this strip.]]
15* AffectionateParody: The comic as a whole is one of superhero comics in general and Wonder Woman in particular.
16** Specific instances:
17*** Of ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/03/31/goodness-gracious-cretaceous in this strip.]] Features genuine Ryan North T-Rex dialogue!
18*** Of [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/03/15/toon-up silent cartoons,]] complete with an ArtShift.
19*** Of ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/09/27/one-more-deity in this strip.]]
20* TheAgeless: [[https://nonadventures.com/2012/07/21/living-on-borrowed-timeline/ A villainess]] drains the lifeforce of young maidens to maintain her youth, only for Wonderella to point out that the rate she drains at is so slow it probably hasn't done anything for her.
21* AlliterativeTitle:
22** [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/07/14/roll-reversal Roll Reversal.]]
23* AllMythsAreTrue: Wonderella is the child of a generic vaguely Greco-Roman Godhead (manifested as a shiny white sphere). She's also met Jesus (and his father, totally different from the aforementioned Godhead), Satan, various other demons including Moloch, Odin, Thor, Gaia, Santa (she killed him!), Krampus, and Faeries (her sister rules them, apparently). Figures of conflicting theological origins are A-OK.
24* AltText: Used for humorous self-commentary:
25** ''[[http://nonadventures.com/2010/04/03/easter-pussycat-kill-kill EASTER Pussycat Kill Kill]]''The rabbit was meant to be the least scary thing on this page, but somehow the opposite happened.
26* AlterEgoActing: Justin Pierce's Twitter feed is 100% in-character as Wonderella.
27* AmbiguouslyBi: Wonderella often dates men, but she also gets into situations with Hitlerella that could be read as bickering girlfriends, has groped Plunderella's behind, and has a pretty obvious crush on Fantomah. An imaginary Ani Difranco explicitly states that Wonderella is a closeted bisexual.
28* AnthropomorphicTypography: The strip [[http://nonadventures.com/2017/03/18/sequential-thwart "Sequential THWART"]] involves Wonderella and Wonderita getting teleported into the realm of anthropomorphic numbers. They solve a mystery involving [[SixIsNine number Six stealing Nine's identity]], find out the hard way that [[MouthfulOfPi reciting the digits of Pi]] is the local religion, and [[HurricaneOfPuns drop as many math puns as possible]] along the way.
29-->'''Prince Seven:''' I should have known you'd be plotting some ''angle'', Uncle! How could I be so obtuse?!
30* AprilFoolsDay:
31** The [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/21/family-matters latest]] [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/28/led-astray comics]] were slightly [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wonderella2009-03-28-138-aprilfools.jpg tweaked]] for 2009.
32** In 2012, [=NonAdventures=].com was replaced with [[http://nonadventures.com/no-nad.html NoNadVentures.com]] (a replacement-testicles-for-pets company parodying the genuine [[http://www.neuticles.com Neuticles]]).
33** In 2014, Justin Pierce re-released "[[http://nonadventures.com/2014/03/29/rhapsody-in-booze "Rhapsody in Booze"]] with [[Franchise/StarWars Jabba the Hutt]] in place of Wonderella, claiming this better matched his "creative vision".
34* ArbitrarySkepticism: The AltText in [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/02/04/sister-extract this strip,]] after magic is dismissed as nonsense:
35-->"Like all good comic book scientists, Dr. Shark is willing to ignore massive swaths of his own inexplicable universe."
36** In another strip, Wonderella explains to some villagers that "[[https://nonadventures.com/2010/03/13/a-broom-of-ones-own Witches are FAKE,]] like unicorns, or [[EskimosArentReal narwhals]]!", after a leprechaun sends her back in time. [[spoiler:Of ''course'' she's wrong about the witches]].
37* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/01/27/everybody-in-the-club-gettin-gypsy Wonderella gets turned into monster size and attacks the city.]]
38* BatDeduction: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/04/16/another-mine-mess The Quizzicle]] is counting on Wonderella to make one of these. Even the AltText notes how there was a fatal flaw in that plan from the very beginning.
39* BatSignal: Wonderella has one. It's a toss-up whether she pays attention to it or not.
40* BewareTheNiceOnes: And here you thought Rita's only personality trait was being TheDitz. [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/09/18/sidekick-effects Think again!]]
41* BitchInSheepsClothing: Rita certainly has her moments, despite looking and acting like an airheaded sidekick. Like the time she murdered Ito so he didn't take her job. Or that she frequently ghosts men that date her. Even Dana was horrified by that one.
42* BlackDudeDiesFirst: {{Inverted|Trope}} -- [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/05/16/pants-like-no-one-is-watching Queen Beetle's one of the few superheroes]] who's [[DeathIsCheap never had to come back from the dead.]]
43* BlasphemousBoast: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/10/13/the-wrong-arm-of-the-law "God answers to ME!"]]
44* BreastExpansion: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/09/02/das-reboot Even if you shouldn't have breasts at all.]]
45-->"Due to overwhelming reader response, I have added breasts to the space dinosaur cowboy."
46* BreathWeapon: [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/06/02/get-a-half-life A result of nuclear exposure.]]
47* BrickJoke: The monster who first appears [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/08/09/the-bitter-end here]] pops up again [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/07/courting-favor here.]]
48* BringMyBrownPants: [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/02/13/premature-evacuation Premature EVACUATION]]: Devlin says he had a "pants accident", but he means he JizzedInMyPants.
49* BrownBagMask: Wonderella dons one of these to hide from her past self. Her past self notices, but draws a penis on the bag instead of investigating.
50* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/14/monster-mashup This]] would be an example where the hero said something like that...if Dana qualified as a hero.
51-->'''Dana:''' Who the christ are you?\
52'''Devlin:''' Er, I'm Devlin. You drove us off a cliff and nearly ''killed'' me [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/02/09/old-flames last year,]] remember? Hell, we got ''married'' [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/17/burning-love two years ago!]]\
53'''Dana:''' I marry or nearly kill ''lots'' of guys. You'll have to be more specific.
54* {{Butterface}}: Wonderella describes ''[[http://nonadventures.com/2012/08/11/battlefield-worth Earth]]'' as this.
55* ButterflyOfDoom: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/03/10/daylight-savings-crime Daylight Savings CRIME.]]
56-->'''Wonderita:''' Just seems like there are '''risks''' in altering the past, ya know?\
57'''Wonderella:''' Risks like '''''everything going exactly perfectly''''', maybe.
58* CallBack: Frequent. For one example, [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/02/22/three-dog-nixon when Nixon is cursed by an ice elemental,]] Wonderella suggests they build a snowman...with results that apparently occur [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/12/20/snowman-is-an-island "every frickin' time."]]
59* TheCameo: Creator/StephenFry appears as Holmes' brother Mycroft in a strip which came out just after the announcement that he would be in the next ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'' [[Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows film]].
60* CanonImmigrant: Fantomah is no expy. She's the genuine article, either the very first (or possibly the second) superheroine in all of comics history -- and he characterization is spot-on.
61* CantBelieveISaidThat: [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/15/believe-it-or-nazi This]] strip.
62-->'''Wonderella:''' ...that's like the worst comeback ever uttered by the human mouth.

90* CaptainPatriotic: Patrianna. To a lesser extent Art/LadyLiberty.
91** Deconstructed with [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/07/02/slam-i-am Uncle Slam,]] who unlike most examples is an AnthropomorphicPersonification and is supposed to embody the spirit of America...except the America of 2016 is so polarized it's basically left Uncle Slam with a split personality.
92* CarFu: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/10/13/the-wrong-arm-of-the-law She doesn't even remember her own strength!]]
93* CardCarryingVillain: Amongst Wonderella's RoguesGallery, [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/09/21/mid-evil-times Hitlerella]] is really the only one enthused about evil as a concept.
94* CareBearStare: The actual stare from ''Franchise/CareBears'' turns out [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/09/12/the-barren-stain-bears to have bad effects.]]

96** "To the time machine!" whenever she decides to time travel. Which she seems to do every five minutes or so.
97* CharacterBlog: [[http://twitter.com/wonderella Twitterella.]] Notably, it's remained active while the comic tapered off in 2019.
98* TheChewToy: Jokerella.
99* ClipShow: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/10/20/son-of-a-bit Briefly.]]
100-->"Don't you ''hate'' when lazy sitcoms reuse old material in clip shows?"
101* ClothesMakeTheManiac: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/04/21/back-in-black The dress is made from evil incarnate, but it was marked 70% off.]]
102* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rita.
103* CombiningMecha: Penumbra's Faerie Force provides [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/16/fae-to-black a magical version.]]
104* ComboPlatterPowers: As mentioned in the description above, Wonderella's powers include SuperStrength, being able to kill plants on command, and vomiting an octopus. [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/10/11/2-fast-2-injurious She's hinted at further powers as well.]]
105* ComeBackTomorrow
106* ComedicSociopathy: Wonderella's blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of everything other than herself (and possibly, her mother). {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when she travels to a MirrorUniverse (see below).
107* ComicBookDeath: "Rita, Rita. Superheroes don't die. And if they do, they come back in like, a week!"
108** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/07/23/the-long-con here]]:
109--->'''Wonderella:''' Apparently a lot of 'em are dead now.\
110'''Crowd:''' ''GASP!''\
111'''Wonderella:''' '''Superhero''' dead, guys.\
112'''Crowd:''' Ohhhhh.
113* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Wonderella embodies this trope.
114** When [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/07/courting-favor acting as Firebrand's attorney,]] she insists she's qualified because she's seen the first half of every ''Series/LawAndOrder'' episode. With only the occasional rare exception, the first half of every episode of that show focuses on the cops tracking down the suspect, with the trial beginning in the ''second'' half.
115* ContinuityNod: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/07/what-would-doobie-doobie-do "The Easter Bunny doesn't exist!"]] "Gasp! What about Santa?" [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/23/jesus-christ-super-hero "Sure, 'til I killed him!"]]
116* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Wonderita doesn't have any parents. It's the reason Wonderella even took her in as a sidekick. [[spoiler:One strip in 2016 hints that Wonderella herself might be her mother.]]
117* CoolCrown: Wonderella, her mother, and Wonderita have tiaras as part of their superhero outfits...though strangely they wear it with their civilian outfits too.
118* CompositeCharacter: Wonderella is, of course, based on Wonder Woman, but as the author notes she rapidly became a composite of Wonder Woman, [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} Elaine Benes]] and [[Creator/FScottFitzgerald Zelda Fitzgerald]].
119* CrossoverCosmology: Lampshaded in [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/25/jesus-christ-super-hero-part-2 the end]] of the SavingChristmas two-parter; then later, with [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/30/fjord-escape the Norse.]]
120* CurseCutShort: When Wonderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/11/28/nick-at-nightmare appears on children's television.]]
121-->'''Wonderella:''' You wanna know what you can't do on television?! YOU CAN ALL GO FU-
122* CursedWithAwesome: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/05/17/asp-hat Any blade that Rita touches now becomes dull as a river-washed stone. This includes blades attacking her.]]
123* CutLexLuthorACheck: Invoked [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/07/25/villain-dollar-baby here]] upon Wonderella's disappearance, but Hitlerella immediately gives it all up when she returns.
124* CutenessProximity: Turns out the best counter for Kitlerella (the catverse version of Hitlerella) is to bring the human Hitlerella over and let her [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/06/11/dramatic-paws gush all over her.]] Who knew?
125* {{Cyberspace}}: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/11/17/melanin-colleague-and-the-infinite-sadness Wonderella saved it from whitespace sites trying to take over.]]
126* DarkerAndEdgier: As with [[ButtMonkey everything]] [[TheWoobie she does]], Jokerella [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/02/05/joke-and-mirrors screws this up.]] Although Hitlerella also had her own embarrassing DarkerAndEdgier stage.
127** His depiction in Killroy and Tina is an unusual take on the archetype. The story begins with Killroy already defeated and put on trial by the galaxy's superheroes as punishment, stripped of his powers and exiled to a backwater planet named Earth. It's uncertain whether Killroy genuinely makes a HeelFaceTurn, or is just biding his time until he can escape and enslave the galaxy again. ([[OrphanedSeries The comic was abandoned]] before the story arc could get any closure.)
128** In ''The Non-Adventures of Wonderella'' he's a straightforward Darkseid expy, although PlayedForLaughs. His attempts to conquer Earth are undone by bizarre shenanigans, like [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/11/04/bound-for-vengeance Wonderella vomiting a giant octopus onto him]], or [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/10/16/quote-of-arms his getting distracted by arguments over billboard punctuation.]]
129* DeadpanSnarker: Wonderella's mother.
130* DealWithTheDevil: [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/03/03 Wonderella learns a harsh lesson in avoiding this.]]
131* DeathGlare: [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/25/jesus-christ-super-hero-part-2 Jesus Christ gives one.]]
132%%* DeconstructiveParody:
133* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/08/24/breaking-baud Wonderella Sr. did an old video promoting the web,]] which included a message about this trope... [[TotallyRadical in rap form]].
134* DisneyOwnsThisTrope:
135** Creator/{{Universal}} [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/04/28/flapper-keeper forbade]] Rita from asking a flapper to go "Franchise/BackToTheFuture" with her and Dana.
136** When Santa Claus came back from the dead to seek revenge against Wonderella, [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/12/29/ill-be-doom-for-xmas she locked him in the Disney Vault.]]
137** The day after an April Fool's prank turned Wonderella into Jabba the Hutt, Justin Pierce reported that Disney forced him to change Wonderella back to normal.
138* DoNotAdjustYourSet: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/06/04/immaculate-reception Hiterella takes over Wonderella's TV signal.]]
139* DoesNotLikeGuns: [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/05/04/hook-line-and-drinker "Superheroes aren't supposed to use guns, but bludgeoning people with giant, metal implements? Totally kosher."]]
140* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/26/beware-the-ides-of-arch Being an archnemesis.]] Seems it requires lots of dedication and the unspoken agreement to limit torture and captivity to a single heroine (or her plucky sidekick). The heroine, by herself, is bound to listen her nemesis' villainous rants and, after beating her nemesis, stay there until the police comes. Connect some dots...
141* DressesTheSame: Parodied, as they're both [[ClothesMakeTheManiac *evil* outfits]].
142* DrugsAreBad: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/01/24/doobie-druthers Parodied. Beer and cigarettes are the way to go.]]
143* DudeNotFunny: Wonderella calls this on herself when [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/02/13/meet-the-beetles she sees Queen Beetle looking depressed]]:
144-->'''Wonderella:''' It's Mardi Gras! You need a hurricane in each hand. Is that too soon? Might be too soon.
145* DudeNotIronic: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/05/17/asp-hat Rita's punishment isn't ironic, as her punishment didn't fit her crime.]]
146* DumbassHasAPoint: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/02/23/slogans-heroes Wonderella might be a ditz, but she knows a bad catchphrase when she sees one.]]
147* EasyAmnesia: Cerebella/Psionica, a villain with mental powers, is outraged that Wonderella somehow doesn't remember her despite all the times they've fought. It turns out she keeps accidentally erasing Dana and Rita's memories when she gets too angry and loses control of her powers.
148* EldritchAbomination: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/03/victorian-secret Spirral.]]
149* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In an obvious riff on ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', Wonderita [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/06/04/soldier-of-misfortune uses an ID card to go to a monster's home.]]
150-->'''Xama:''' Please, please [[TakeMeInstead just spare my baby]]!\
151'''Child Alien:''' ''Xama, I'm scared''!\
152'''Xama:''' Xama's here baby ''[-oh my god just please don't hurt her-]''\
153'''Wonderita:''' '''[[HeelRealization I'm so sorry Mrs. Alien]]'''!\
154'''Wonderella:''' Why did they even ''add'' this? '''[[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment Why is it in the game]]'''?!
155* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hitlerella is outraged by people having to [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/11/23/an-american-retail work on Thanksgiving]]. She also [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/05/16/doom-goes-the-dynamite doesn't like]] people using the "R-word". So yeah, Hitlerella's sense of ethics is rather...eccentric. As has been [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/28/anti-monitor duly lampshaded.]]
156-->'''Hitlerella:''' My satellite feed gives your prison cell a ''front row'' seat... to your city's '''destruction'''!\
157'''Wonderella:''' On '''''that''''' old piece of crap?\
158'''Hitlerella:''' Out of this '''entire''' scenario. You have a ''problem''. ''With the TV''.\
159'''Wonderella:''' I'm just sayin'. You put all this time and effort linking a global satellite feed to some remote cave off in [=WhoGivesastan=]...and you hook it up to a '''$10 Craigslist special'''?\
160'''Hitlerella:''' For your information, I got it from a nice old lady in Queens. And, yes, it was ''reasonably priced''.\
161'''Wonderella:''' You're gonna '''blow up''' Queens with an atom bomb you '''''stole!''''' How the hell do your ethics even '''WORK!?'''
162* EverybodyLaughsEnding: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/16/the-death-of-wonderella Parodied with everyone laughing over Wonderella's double laying dead on the ground.]]
163* EveryoneHasStandards: Dana's defining personality is that she's an asshole, but she's not ''that'' big an asshole.
164** When thrown into ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', she's indignant on behalf of the Beast's servants when told they were AesopCollateralDamage, going out of her way to kick the enchantress's ass for turning them into appliances.
165** She's sick of her mother blaming the Olsen Twins for the deaths of Heath Ledger and Whitney Houston.
166** Dana's horrified when Rita explains she ghosts potential dates all the time by showing up as Wonderita first to see if the guy is a dud or not.
167--->'''Dana:''' ''Damn'', Rita, that is coldblooded! You're s'posed to be the ''nice'' one! ''Who taught you to be like this?!''\
168'''Rita:''' I haven't looked 20 for the past decade by worrying about what some ''boy'' thinks of me.
169* EvilLaugh: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/11/03/the-lass-crusade Jesus Christ has one.]]
170* ExactWords: [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/07/31/the-eyes-habit Not the best direction there, Dr. Shark.]]
171* EyeBeams: [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/09/11/lashes-to-ashes An allergic reaction to shellfish.]]
172* FairytaleWeddingDress: That even had [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/08/29/tying-the-not a white version]] of her [[CoolCrown tiara]].
173* FakeStatic: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/07/25/on-the-rogues-again "The last time I called her to announce my Manifesto for Simian Domination, Wonderella alleged she was going through a tunnel!"]]
174* {{Fangirl}}: Hitlerella with regards to [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/05/08/die-a-mothers-day Wonderella Sr.]]
175* FantasticVoyagePlot: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/12/15/tumor-has-it Wonderella talks a tumor into leaving a boy's body.]]
176* FantasyKitchenSink: Much like the medium it parodies.
177* FateWorseThanDeath: Santa [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/12/29/ill-be-doom-for-xmas becomes Intellectual Property]] of Creator/{{Disney}}...and they never give back.

181-->"Like all good comic book scientists, Doctor Shark is willing to ignore massive swaths of his own inexplicable universe."
182* FlatWhat: Three in a row [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/03/05/top-of-the-charts when Wonderella's mother signs her up for a Superhero Dating App]].
183** Wonderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2017/06/03/foul-ball drops two more]] when she finds out that Hitlerella had stolen Hitler's right testicle.
184* FlawlessToken: Queen Beetle, the black female superheroine, who is intelligent, well-mannered, and has a functioning moral compass--very much in contrast with the lead.
185* FlightStrengthHeart: Wonderella's powers start at standard original ComicBook/{{Superman}} and get weirder.
186* FoeRomanceSubtext:
187** Wonderella and Hitlerella. Their fights are [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/26/beware-the-ides-of-arch compared to sex]] -- "You never stick around after our fight any more", "I want someone who will be there when the police turn up" and so on.
188** During Hitlerella's DarkerAndEdgier [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/02/05/joke-and-mirrors phase,]] Wonderella certainly seemed to appreciate the assless chaps. Then again, knowing [[HeroicComedicSociopath Wonderella]], it could easily be for [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten the limitless blackmail material they give]].
189** "[[http://nonadventures.com/2011/06/04/immaculate-reception You certainly date a lot]] [[ImmodestOrgasm of screamers]]"
190** Also seen between Wonderella and Plunderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/05/26/the-curse-of-plunderella here.]]
191** There's also Hitlerella's reaction to [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/02/outrageous-fortune Wonderella ranting about Hamlet.]]
192--->'''Hitlerella:''' Oh my god, would you ''shut up'' about the damn play already? So you read Hamlet! Welcome to the ''8th grade!'' I built a war machine, Dana! A WAR MACHINE.\

197* [[FormerChildStar Former Kid Sidekick]]: Wonderella was "Wonderita" when her mother held the titular office. It seems to have had a bad effect.
198* FortuneTeller: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/01/27/everybody-in-the-club-gettin-gypsy She gives Wonderella a portent of doom.]]
199* FreudianTrio: The three main superheroes Wonderella, Queen Beetle, and Patrianna fit this dynamic quite well.
200** Wonderella is the id, a selfish boor who mainly does things for the sake of pleasure and gratification.
201** Queen Beetle is the ego, serving as the voice of reason and sanity to her fellow heroes (or "heroes"), usually willing to serve a reality check, though she also has her limits.
202** Patrianna is the superego, who takes to enforcing law and order, and holds her fellow superheroes to strict standards, messed up as they may be sometimes. In addition, her daytime job is as a literal judge.
203* FriendlyEnemy: No villain is as nice to a hero at her mercy than Hitlerella is to Wonderella ([[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/28/anti-monitor she may lock her in a cell and force her to watch her city burn,]] but at least she lets her watch it on a widescreen in 3D), and the feeling seems mutual.

210* TheGhost: Although mentioned a number of times, the villain Orgy Biv has never been seen on camera.
211* GiftOfTheMagiPlot: Subverted [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/12/19/where-the-toys-are here,]] in that Wonderella merely wrecked the gift instead of trading something the other gift needed.
212* GilliganCut: "[[CharacterCatchphrase S O O N :]]" This is used no matter the amount of passed time during the cut itself, be it a few minutes, [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/12/18/highway-to-the-manger-zone thirty years]] or [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/09/27/one-more-deity time travel.]]

225* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Wonderella/Dana Price.
226* HarmlessVillain:
227** Jokerella, [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/12/01/the-tears-of-a-clown ever since her on-panel debut.]]

250* HomemadeSweaterFromHell: [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/12/19/the-longest-yarn in this strip]] Wonderella complains about how treating the trope like a kitschy tradition just makes people "look like horse's asses".
251* HumanityOnTrial: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/07/mars-heeds-women Due to Earth's bad directions on DIY products.]]
252* HurricaneOfPuns: While the strip itself is [[PungeonMaster no stranger to pun-based humor]], [[http://nonadventures.com/2016/05/21/nacl-sandwich NaCl Sandwich]] is filled to the brim with them.
253* {{Hypochondria}}: Was once sure she had bird flu.
254* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Reversed in [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/14/mortally-gingered this strip.]] When Wonderella tells an over-the-top story about her day, the part that Wonderita questioned...was Wonderella baking.
255** The next comic has Hitlerella capture her, imprison her somewhere far away, and force her to watch the destruction of New York City by atom bomb over a satellite feed. What grinds Wonderella's gears? [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/07/28/anti-monitor Well...]]
256--->'''Hitlerella:''' Out of this '''entire''' scenario. You have a ''problem. With the TV.''
257* IWantGrandkids: Ginormus's mother, as referenced in [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/09/15/plan-dine-from-outer-space this strip]]
258** [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/10/19/baby-comeback Titania actually hires villains to try to make Wonderella be a mother.]]
259* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each strip is titled with a purposely terrible pun, with the punning word in all-caps. "Daylight Savings CRIME", "Mostly ARMLESS", "Bad to the CLONE", etc.
260* ImagineSpot: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/05/10/ballooner-landing In a hot air balloon race.]]
261* ImpactSilhouette: Wonderella leaves one one a wall after [[http://nonadventures.com/2019/06/29/concentration-scamp breaking into a migrant detention facility.]] One kid [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how it doesn't make any sense that her ''cape'' is part of the hole but Wonderella doesn't understand him since [[BilingualBonus he's speaking in Spanish]].
262* InASingleBound: One of Wonderella's abilities.
263* IncompatibleOrientation: [[PirateGirl Plunderella]] suffers from having an all-male crew who are "queer as giraffes."
264* IncrediblyObviousBomb: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/07/28/chicken-of-the-seamen Lampshaded in the alt text.]] Then Wonderella [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/12/29/baby-new-fear leaves one of her own.]]
265* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Jokerella, although many of the other villains have their moments.
266* InsultBackfire[=/=]YourMom: [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/15/believe-it-or-nazi "What about Heidi Klum? She's German." "So's YOUR MOM." "...wait, did you actually just say that?"]]
267* InterspeciesRomance: The severed hydra head in "[[http://nonadventures.com/2010/03/27/hydra-in-plain-sight/ HYDRA in Plain Sight]]" marries a human woman. They even have a child together.
268-->'''Alt Text:''' This page raises questions that are probably best left unasked.
269* IronicHell:
270** Wonderella annoys an Iranian representative with talk about Jihad and afterlife virgins. She proceeds to get herself killed and find herself presented with 72 [[IncompatibleOrientation female]] virgins.
271** Wonderella is rude to God and ends up in hell. Her punishment is to be turned into a muppet and be forced to listen to Wonderita's inane babble, which Wonderella describes as her own personal ironic hell.
272** "[[http://nonadventures.com/2015/11/07/cruller-intentions You will die as you]] ''lived''... '''Recycling old Simpsons jokes''' '''''for all eternity'''''!"
273** [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/06/30/toad-the-wet-blanket This strip]] shows young Dana repeatedly griefing Penumbra in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''
274--->'''Alt Text:''' Everyone who did this is going to a special circle of Hell where you just ride hover bikes forever.
275* IrrationalHatred: Dana's well aware of her mother's hatred of the Olsen Twins. Apparently Titania blames them for the deaths of Heath Ledger and Whitney Houston, thinking celebrity deaths like theirs didn't happen until the Olsens came along.
276* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Lampshaded [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/11/17/war-on-error here.]]
277* JediMindTrick: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/06/09/ethereal-girl Penumbra mistakes it for using force lightning.]]
278* {{Jerkass}}: Everyone has {{Jerkass}} moments, but Patrianna and Wonderella definitely fall into this.
279-->'''Dana:''' [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Bruce]], it was me, Dana! Holy crap, THAT was frikkin' ''GREAT''! "[[http://nonadventures.com/2008/12/13/the-dark-psych Mommy are you proud of me?]]" '''HA HA HA'''!
280** HiddenHeartOfGold: Dana doesn't even need to say anything after she does [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/05/04/hook-line-and-drinker this]] for a fan.
281* JesusWasWayCool: Our Lord and Savior makes an appearance every so often. Pretty chill dude who gets embarrassed by ActivistFundamentalistAntics.
282* JizzedInMyPants: [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/02/13/premature-evacuation Devlin sees his date has fire powers.]] Unfortunately, due to [[PoorCommunicationKills his ambiguous phrasing]], his date probably thought he'd wet himself in fear.
283* JustBetweenYouAndMe: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/11/15/diamonds-are-whatever Evil terrorists telling Wonderella about their death rays.]]
284* JustInTime: Wonderella's mother gives an in-universe justification for enforcing this trope [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/04/13/nick-of-timing here.]]
285* KangarooCourt: Patrianna is Wonderella's {{Jerkass}}, snarky, rival heroine. She's also Anna Petri, the only judge in their nameless city. [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/11/25/the-price-of-patriotism This combination can lead to real awkward results...]]
286* KidFromTheFuture: [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/01/23/like-mother-like-slaughter Turns out to be evil.]]

290** [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/01/06/various-aged-regular-ninja-persons And ninjas!]]
291* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: In a very odd villainous example, Hitlerella is ''very'' [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/05/08/die-a-mothers-day excited to meet Wonderella's mom,]] even though she has her and her daughter at her mercy. (Or so it seems...)
292* TheLadette: Wonderella herself.
293* {{Ladyella}}: Wonderella, Hitlerella, and Jokerella are the most prominent, but not the only ones.
294* LastSecondWordSwap: When [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/07/19/moms-the-word Wonderella Sr. is talking down Jokerella.]]
295-->'''Dana's Mother:''' Jokerella, I know that every daug-- ''[Dana scowls next to her]'' I know that ''most'' daughters want to please their mothers.
296* {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s: Of other DC characters, referred to only by first name.

298** [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/12/22/a-christmas-peril Mace Win--er, Samuel L. Jackson in a bathrobe.]]
299* LegacyCharacter:
300** Her [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/10/mother-ella mother Titania]] was the original Wonderella. Titania's duties as an Earth hero and Queen of the Fairies (or something) are split between the current Wonderella and her sister, Penumbra. This is deconstructed, as a few strips show that Wonderella only got the job because she was expected to replace her mother, explaining her lackluster efforts.
301** Queen Beetle and Patrianna [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/08/28/monkey-see-monkey-doom were later revealed]] to have legacies of their own.
302* LeotardOfPower: Wonderella's outfit.
303* LifeDrinker: A villainous thought she had this power, only to realize she was actually TheAgeless. Sure enough, when Wonderella snaps her scepter to release the life force she has stolen, she remains unchanged.
304* LittleBlackDress: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/04/21/back-in-black Woven from evil incarnate.]]
305* LogicBomb: Attempted [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/02/19/the-daily-trouble here.]] It doesn't work.
306** Jesus [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/10/24/the-blast-supper drops a major one on Wonderella.]]
307* MagicFeather:
308** [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/04/04/a-broken-pumice "See, this is why I don't do pep talks."]]
309** Invoked and lampshaded in [[http://nonadventures.com/2017/07/01/sword-of-a-big-deal this spoof]] of ''Film/WonderWoman2017''.
310* TheMagicTouch: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/01/31/animus-complex On this page,]] Wonderella gains the power to give life to anything she touches.
311* MayflyDecemberFriendship: ''Very'' literal case of this happens when Wonderella feels sorry for a mutant mayfly who's depressed because it found out it will die only a day after it was born--minutes ago--[[http://nonadventures.com/2014/06/14/girl-fly-day and spends the day with it to make it feel better.]]
312* MediumAwareness: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/01/29/heaven-can-grate God.]]

315* MidasTouch: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/01/31/animus-complex Animating touch.]]
316* MindControlDevice: [[https://nonadventures.com/2010/03/06/commuter-end-program When Wonderella was captured in a spaceship,]] she saved the aliens from a monster that have taken over it. Afterward, the aliens used one of these devices to control Wonderella's mind so she'll drive home and not remember any of that.
317* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Intelli-Ape [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/01/14/the-kong-and-short-of-it comes to this conclusion]] after making the mistake of prying too deeply into [[StepfordSmiler Wonderita]]'s mind.
318* MiniDressOfPower: Wonderella Sr. wears a short skirt and top variant.
319* MinorFlawMajorBreakup: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/28/led-astray Changed into]] a NonSequitur for AprilFoolsDay.
320* MirrorUniverse: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/03/15/clover-and-over-again Wonderella's doppelganger]] is just like her, because "The opposite of [[ComedicSociopathy neutral]] is still neutral."
321** But then [[ThePollyanna Wonderita's]] counterpart [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/11/16/lovely-rita-mirror-maid shows up,]] leading to Wonderita...making out with her.
322--->'''Wonderella:''' I feel like we should maybe do something about that.\
323'''Mirror Wonderella:''' Then I guess ''I'' feel like we maybe ''shouldn't''.
324* MisattributedSong: InUniverse, Dana and Rita think ''Frosty the Snowman'' was sung by Sinatra, much to his annoyance when they summon him to see why Dana's plan to make a {{snowlem}} as menial help isn't working.
325* MistakenForProfound: [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/23/lucy-in-the-sky-with-genocide Wonderella's selfishness somehow saves Earth when it's mistaken for something worthwhile of humanity.]]
326* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Shark first appears as a mad scientist who turns a city's entire populace into sharks just for the hell of it. However, it's averted for the most part, with his villainous acts being few and far between.
327* MostCommonSuperpower:
328** [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/05/spirral-marketing Notably]] averted.
329** Briefly played straight when she gets [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/09/02/das-reboot "relaunched."]]
330** Wonderella's notable lack of this power becomes a plot point in [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/08/31/infinite-chest this strip.]]
331* MyEyesAreUpHere: Despite not having the MostCommonSuperpower, Wonderella's breasts are still [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/05/09/the-art-of-worf nice to look at,]] apparently.
332-->'''Dana:''' But ''this'' isn't a movie. This is real. As real as the breasts you're looking at instead of my eyes.\
333'''Creator/PatrickStewart:''' I'll do it.
334* NegativeContinuity: Comics have ended with Wonderella dying, the entire human population turned to vampires, and Earth flat-out being destroyed. [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/07/17/taken-for-granite The universe reboots whenever Wonderella screws things up.]]
335* NerdsAreVirgins: [[http://nonadventures.com/2011/06/04/immaculate-reception "Sorry, I wasn't in the A/V club. I had sex instead."]]
336* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/09/26/two-princess Parodied,]] like many, many other TimeTravel tropes.
337* NewFirstComics: A minor example, but [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/12/cape-fear "Cape FEAR"]] was the original first page when the comic initially launched. [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/09/the-torment-of-a-thousand-yesterdays "The TORMENT of a Thousand Yesterdays"]] (a flashback that gives Wonderella's origin story) went up a few weeks later, then was retroactively moved to the beginning of the archives not long after.
338* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:
339** [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/10/11/2-fast-2-injurious "I got powers I ain't even discovered yet."]]
340** [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/09/11/lashes-to-ashes Don't make me go to Lobsterfest.]] [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 You wouldn't like me]] [[AltText when I'm at Lobsterfest.]]
341** [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/03/10/electric-bugaboo I'm electricity, Ma!]]
342** [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/09/12/pack-of-lies Honestly, even I don't know 'em all!]]
343* NiceGuy: Although he has a BerserkButton or two, Doctor Shark is pretty decent the rest of the time, which is noticeable in a world where almost everyone is a JerkAss of some variety.

433* ScrewYourself: In [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/04/17/color-bindness one strip,]] the main character is split into two individuals, each representing a part of her personality.

488* SuperHero: Wonderella, technically--she's got the "super" but not the "hero", and seems to have gotten the label mostly because she has powers and on average causes more good than harm. Her colleagues are mostly exasperated at her antics.
489* SuperHeroOrigin: [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/09/the-torment-of-a-thousand-yesterdays Wonderella's]] is a parody/pastiche of ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Wonder Woman's]].

501** [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/07/heir-line-fracture Harmageddon]] is one to UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks in general and Rob Liefeld in particular, particularly with his excess pouches and the way he carefully stands with his [[HandsInPockets feet concealed behind two rocks]].
502** Apparently, Justin [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/06/30/toad-the-wet-blanket has a rather pronounced hatred]] of {{Griefer}}s in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''.

509-->"Look, I just have this naming convention. If you wanna be my villain, you might as well have a name that rhymes."
510* ThereIsAnother: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/08/25/planet-of-the-japes Parodied and subverted.]]
511* ThinkOfTheChildren: Dana's publicist puts her at a huge disadvantage by forcing to dial back on some of her more dangerous antics after a kid gets injured imitating her. Hitlerella, meanwhile, gets to do whatever because as a villain she's ''expected'' to be a bad role model.
512* ThisIsntHeaven: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/07/what-would-doobie-doobie-do Through Frank Sinatra.]]
513* ThroneMadeOfX: After Wonderella beats [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/21/satan-on-the-dock-of-the-bay the Devil]] at a DrinkingContest and takes over hell, she is annoyed that her throne is made of skulls.
514-->'''Wonderella:''' Do we have any thrones that '''aren’t''' made of skulls. My hair gets caught in their teeth and it bugs me.\
515'''Demon:''' I get sodomized with the business end of a flaming rake twenty-seven times a day.\
516'''Wonderella:''' Yeah but… ''skulls''.
517* TokenMinority:
518** Queen Beetle, a black woman with the power of beetles.
519** Poorly-conceived token black bear [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/09/12/the-barren-stain-bears Onyx Star!]]
520* TooDumbToLive: The [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/03/21/family-matters Wondertweens,]] who take the Earth with them.
521-->'''Dan:''' Form of ''matter!''\
522'''Daisy:''' Form of ''[[{{Antimatter}} anti-matter!]]''[[note]]They annihilated each other.[[/note]]
523* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In "[[http://nonadventures.com/2006/11/11/guess-whos-coming-to-dinner "Guess Who's Coming To DINNER."]] Tim Allen is apparently too spicy for [[strike:[[ComicBook/XMen Galactus]]]] [[CaptainErsatz Ginormus]].
524* TotallyRadical: There's an old video of Wonderella Sr. telling kids about the wonders of the internet and [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/08/24/breaking-baud then doing a rap song about how internet piracy is bad.]]
525* TrueNeutral: (Invoked) Or, as Dr. Shark puts it, [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/03/15/clover-and-over-again "Personality pH 7."]]
526* TruthSerums: Hitlerella discovers that injecting a CloudCuckooLander like [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/01/11/fountain-of-truth Wonderita]] with one is a bad idea.
527* UnPerson: The "[[http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/20/the-some-of-all-fears "Some Asshole initiative"]] would seek to do this to mass shooters -- instead of an expose and speculation on why they committed the crime, they'd just be called "Some Asshole", with a bucket of chum standing in for their photo.
528* UnexplainedRecovery: The Quizzicle. "[[LampshadeHanging Remember when this guy died? That was great]]."
529* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Wonderella, who tends to cause more problems than she solves on-screen. Why go punch giant lizards when you can have a beer and watch soaps?
530* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/11/17/melanin-colleague-and-the-infinite-sadness So does clutter-free web design.]]
531* VideoWill: [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/08/08/big-will-style "Oh! Hello there! I am dead."]]
532* VillainousHarlequin: Jokerella, skimping on the "villainous". Her mother Pirouette was a much straighter example.
533* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: "[[http://nonadventures.com/2010/10/16/quote-of-arms Those,]] madam, are called '''scare''' quotes. I'm using them to strike '''terror''' into the hearts of my enemies."
534* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: She doesn't just want one, [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/13/march-of-times she gets one.]] The AltText says it's not even her first one.
535* TheWarOnStraw: [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/05/31/the-strawman-cometh Strawman]] is a scarecrow-like villain (well, [[HarmlessVillain more or less]]) who spouts nonsense related to almost every trope on that page. Wonderella shoves him off a building (despite the fact he was just creating a public disturbance) because he was just so ''annoying''.
536* WaxingLyrical: The entirety of Wonderella's speech [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/01/05/alcoholics-autonomous here]] was cribbed from Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car".
537* WeaksauceWeakness: Hitlerella's greatest weakness is that [[spoiler:she has a moustache]]. It's not pretty.
538** Wonderella halts an invading alien force with alcohol. (It doesn't poison them or anything, it just makes them think flying into the sun is a ''really'' good idea...)
539* WeaponsGradeVocabulary: When [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/03/24/while-my-guitar-gently-weaponizes massed guitars]] try to [[Music/BlueOysterCult destroy city using song]], it didn't work. Then those guitars decided to use some experimental songs from Pete (a garage band), it resulted in a BigNo from Wonderella and sidekick.
540* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Patrianna's outfit.
541* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Apparently Wonderella's original powers were so lame she was given [[http://nonadventures.com/2006/09/09/the-torment-of-a-thousand-yesterdays new ones.]]
542* WhatTheHellHero: Nearly OnceAnEpisode. It's that kind of strip.
543* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/10/06/view-to-a-dill Here]]:
544-->'''Hitlerella:''' '''A giant pickle jar'''. ''Christ''. Does anyone else here even ''own'' a gun?
545* AWinnerIsYou: Rita has to deal with it [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/10/20/son-of-a-bit here.]] Beating the game on hard mode gives the message an extra exclamation point!!
546* WizardingSchool: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/07/21/lack-magic-woman Harry Potter style.]]
547* WolverinePublicity: Mocked when Wonderella's mom suggests she delay foiling the villain's plan until the last minute.
548-->'''Wonderella Sr.:''' Run around with the bomb! Waste time with some planes and tanks. You've seen how Batman does it.\
549'''Wonderella:''' Yes, we've all seen the HELL outta Batman, Ma!
550* WonderWomanWannabe: Wonderella herself. She has a costume similar to Wonder Woman's, but is a heavy-drinking, foul-mouthed Jerkass. She also has much stranger powers, like killing plants with a word and coughing up octopi when restrained.
551* WorldOfPun: Puns happen ''constantly'' in the strip titles and the AltText. Such as Franchise/PeterPan being thrown to the sharks by Somali Pirates yielding "Thanks, chum!" as the AltText stinger.
552* WorldsSmallestViolin: The 2018 St. Patrick's Day strip.
553* WorthIt: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/05/24/a-signage-of-the-times The snarky sign finds getting its store burned down was worth it just to throw a can at Wonderella's head.]]
554* WrongGenreSavvy: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/11/10/djinn-there-done-that Wonderella is annoyed that finding a genie won't get her wishes.]]
555* YaoiFanboy: [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/11/03/voyeur-than-thou God,]] actually. And gays cause hurricanes by [[DistractedByTheSexy distracting]] Him from stopping them.
556* YaoiFangirl: Wonderella's "[[IHaveThisFriend friend]]" who might or might not have [[http://nonadventures.com/2013/12/21/the-blue-screen-of-destiny downloaded gay porn on her computer and given it a virus.]]
557* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/12/22/a-christmas-peril "A Christmas PERIL."]] Provides the quote for that page.
558* YouClonedHitler: [[http://nonadventures.com/2017/06/03/foul-ball ...sort of.]]
559* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Queen Beetle has a tendency to nitpick other people's word-choices [[CasualDangerDialogue in the middle of a fight]], as seen [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/08/28/monkey-see-monkey-doom here]] and [[http://nonadventures.com/2015/08/22/carry-a-big-schtick here.]]
560* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/01/06/various-aged-regular-ninja-persons Parodied]] with the {{ninja}} clan. Given a ContinuityNod [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/01/12/fairy-the-hatchet later.]]
561* YouKnowImBlackRight: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/10/11/2-fast-2-injurious With Stephen Hawking.]]
562* ZombieApocalypse: [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/10/18/all-this-and-brains-too A Russo zombie, not a Romero zombie.]]
