Awesome / Peeking Through the Fourth Wall

Go To

  • Lincoln analyses the Sister Fight Protocol and points out that it makes no sense, to the point where the author claims he cannot make any further attempt at making sense of it due to doctor's orders.
  • Leni displays surprising knowledge about fish, Lynn about snakes, and Lisa and Luna about religion.
  • Luna does a whole "The Reason You Suck" Speech to people who think that Rock is Authentic, Pop is Shallow in episode 15 ("Cringeworthy").
    Luna: This writer seems to think that pop and rock are two separate spheres that can't ever touch each other. But they're not. They overlap, they intertwine, and the line between them has always been pretty blurry. I mean, once upon a time, "pop" was just short for "popular". It was a catch-all term for whatever was toppin' the charts - and for a lot of the 50's and 60's, that was rock 'n roll.
    The Beatles are one of the greatest rock groups of all time. They're also one of the greatest pop groups. And no Beatlemaniac would take offense to either of those labels. Plus, if you really want to blow this writer's mind, you could tell him that Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo on "Beat It". You know, that song by Michael Jackson? The King of Pop?
    The idea that rock is above pop, or that you have to be smart to appreciate it, is totally bogus, and it's not what rockers like me want people to think. Fact is, rock can be just as simple and rudimentary as pop. You know how many chords you need to know to play "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones? Three. A major, D major and E major. That's it. Even Bono said that all he needs to rock out are three chords and the truth.
    Rock stars and pop starlets aren't enemies; we're brothers from another mother. At the end of the day, we're all just writin' simple songs with catchy hooks and melodies designed to make people want to get up and move.
  • Luna's utter fury at her fic self's behavior in After Dark episode 1 ("Property of Luan Loud").
    Luna: How am I okay with this?! How is anyone in the house okay with Lisa turning Leni into a horny cat?! Why am I teasing Luan about this when I should be grabbing Lisa and slamming her into the wall repeatedly?!
    Luna: Sexual assault isn't 'cute!'
    Luna: Why am I talking about this like it's Benny asking her to the prom?! It's her sister! It's... It's WRONG! It's WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
    Luna: So it just wore off overnight? How does that even... you know what? I don't care. If it means the nightmare is over, I'll accept it.
  • The Serial Escalation of the sin counter in Episode 17 ("Luck"). For context, one of the authors introduces a "sin counter" to count the amount of things the fanfic did wrong. This story is so badly written that the sin counter ended up being powered by machine guns.
  • Lincoln calling out the ending of "One Angry Person."
    Lincoln: So I spend half the story treating my family like garbage, and I get rewarded with toys, video games and merchandise. What's the moral of this story, exactly?
  • The Reveal at the end of After Dark episode 4 that the story was just The Aristocrats joke.
    Lincoln: "One time, though, they did try to get back at me. Lola baked some cookies in one of her little girl ovens and tricked me into eating them. It was only after I'd eaten them that she told me that Lana's shit had been mixed into the batter. That's right – they tricked me into eating Lana's shit."
  • Episode 24 ("Lincoln Betrays Lucy") is a rewrite of the infamous Hey Arnold! episode "Arnold Betrays Iggy," and while reading it, Lucy teaches An Aesop that shows exactly why that episode is so hated:
    Lucy: Forgiveness is something you earn by correcting your mistakes and learning from them, not by punishing yourself. If someone expects you to jump through hoops and go through agony to earn their forgiveness, then their forgiveness isn't worth earning.
    • Lucy not even bothering to hide her disgust with the story and its ending.
      Lucy: What a miserable story. I feel dirty after reading that.
  • In Episode 19 ("Snowmageddon"), Luan slams the door on some angry comic book nerds who have literal Torches and Pitchforks on her just because she likes Batman & Robin.
    Luan: "It's called an opinion! Deal with it!"
