26	** When real news about a transfer of Minister of Chancellory Ronald Pofalla to UsefulNotes/DeutscheBahn came up, Der Postillon just copied it and dated it to one day prior, fooling people into believing that mainstream media were fooled by Der Postillon.
27	** After [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_v_Germany_(2014_FIFA_World_Cup) Brazil losing 1-7 against Germany]], Russian news sites were gullible enough to take the news "Bartender broke as he promised 10% off for every German goal against Brazil" at face value. Some followers argued that [[VodkaDrunkenski fun stops with the Russians when it comes to alcohol]].
28	* ReleasedToElsewhere: "Timmy is happy that his dog is allowed to get to the rainbow land"
29	* RightForTheWrongReasons: Invoked with "Millions of German to protest toll plans by doing motorcades tonight" was an article from July 8, 2014. The motorcades actually happened, but rather due to Germany winning 7-1 against Brazil at the FIFA World Cup.
30	* RunningGag: The stock character "Little Timmy (9)" exemplifies many tropes, often implying him getting bullying by his age mates and hated by his parents alike.
31	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Galactic Empire desires to buy Death Star from German production"
32	* WarOnStraw: Man trying to see Ukraine Crisis objectively is Putin apologist and NATO war-mongerer at the same time
