Line 70:
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Shit Narnia, {{spoiler|Korrok's home dimension.}} The inhabitants live in peace and harmony, harness biotechnology, are very welcoming and kind... {{spoiler|and serve a psychopathic eldritch abomination, are horribly disfigured, and like to feed people to said abomination.}}
* [[Crapsack World]]/[[Planet Eris]]: The setting of the world is such that anything or anyone could suddenly appear for no explained reason, and 90% of the time it wants to kill you. 10% of the time it's actually friendly but you're so used to the other 90% you shoot it anyway.
* [[Crazy Enough to Work|Retarded Enough To Work]]: Many of John's plans. Lampshaded when the heroes decide to fight a ballroom full of wigmonsters [[The Power of Rock|by playing musical instruments]].
{{quote|'''John''': Guys, ''this is [[Crazy Enough to Work|just retarded enough to work.]]''}}
* [[Danger Takes a Backseat]]: This is how Robert North introduces himself.
* [[Dead All Along]]: We don't get to see all of the stuff that happens to them, but it apparently occurs enough that the main duo's attitude to this is "I hate it when they do that." {{spoiler|Especially when it happens to Dave and Arnie.}}
Line 175 ⟶ 173:
** "Let's just put it this way. I'll never ever tell you."
* [[Ret-Gone]]: {{spoiler|The main form of attack of the Shadow Men.}}
* [[Crazy Enough to Work|Retarded Enough To Work]]: Many of John's plans. Lampshaded when the heroes decide to fight a ballroom full of wigmonsters [[The Power of Rock|by playing musical instruments]].

* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]] {{spoiler|When the timeline is changed by the shadow men, some people will randomly remember how things used to be, although they'll typically remember it both ways, not just the original way.}}
* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: Several different locations: Marconi's show room in Las Vegas, Robert Marley's trailer {{spoiler|and his hovel at the abandoned mall}}, Dave's tool shed, and Big Jim's workshop. Each one is not only a Room Full of Crazy, but an insight into the personality and life {{spoiler|and often death}} of the owner.
