** Pip.

* [[The Aesthetics of Technology]]: Pip makes the mistake of stealing tech from the Denizens based on appearance.

* [[All Up to You]]: Twice. Art even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it.

* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Pip certainly is. Art nine times out of ten is more of an [[Accidental Pervert]].

** And then there's [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=566 that tenth time].

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Scarlet and her sisters fulfill this trope [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=202 to a T].

* [[Aura Vision]]: Vanity Thorn can see auras as well as ghosts.

* [[Author Appeal]]: Busty anthro women with thin waists.

** And to some degree, large muscular women with disproportionally small heads.

* [[Author Avatar]]: Mr. Jackson appears [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=194 as a hamster]. [http://www.collectedcurios.com/SAS_0046_Small.jpg Usually].

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Kat's wardrobe consists of a sleeveless belly shirt and short shorts. At least she wears sweaters and such during the winter months.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: The Think Tank pulls one on Pip in [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=564 their "Realm of Lorecraft" board game].

* [[Beach Episode]]: Sadly no. The Trope is just referenced and lampshaded [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=521 here].

* [[Beam-O-War]]: A [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=325A tiny one], but the effect is there.

* [[Big Red Button]]: Admittedly, we can't tell what color it is, but it grabs [[Stealth Pun|Scarlet's]] attention in the same matter and thus Kat has to [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=355 intervene to prevent potential disaster.] Given it's an Emergency button, we can probably assume it's red.

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/SA_0742_small.jpg "I even held it down."]

** Hello Pages deserves a mention.

* [[Bleached Underpants]]:

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: OZBASIC [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=502 mnemonics].

* [[Break the Haughty]]: Hilary, Kat's arch-nemesis from grade school, downgraded from high-powered advertising executive to sitting in the unemployment office. Next to Pip, who wants to talk about her ''previous'' "career".

* [[Brown Note]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=665 An image that combines all known fetishes].

* [[Bullethole Door]]: Or at least a beamhole trapdoor.

** And for a more literal [[Call Back]], there's Crazy Boris, who may or may not also be Crazy Sven. And possibly [http://collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=595 the guy on the box of crackers].

** The spider from all the way back in strip 7 makes a re-appearance during Scarlet's flashback, as well as somewhat justifying how Pip managed to blow up the bathroom with a deoderant flamethrower.

* [[Cassandra Truth]]:

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=49 The intruder's female, she's a five foot tall squirrel-thing...]

* [[Companion Cube]]: The [[Bland-Name Product|Buddy Brick]].

* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]

* [[Cool but Inefficient]]: Pip grabs a rather large gun because it looked dangerous. It actually ''is'' powerful as it was shown to blast off a door, but it's actually just a popcorn popper, and as such has a range measured in only a few centimeters.

* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Art gets one from Kat, when's he's understandably upset with Scarlet after she {{spoiler|THREW HIM IN FRONT OF A DEATH RAY!}}

* [[Cosmic Plaything]]: Art's skill of collecting troubles and dangerous adventures is only outmatched by the Universe's eagerness to provide them.

* [[Covers Always Lie]]: [[Author Tract|Mr. Jackson really gets on his soapbox]] [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=557 about this one.]

* [[Detail-Hogging Cover]]: See [[Covers Always Lie]]

* [[Disembodied Eyebrows]]: Pretty much everyone who has eyebrows has had them floating off their head at one point or another.

'''Pip:''' Uh, [[Everybody's Dead, Dave|yes and no.]] }}

* [[Double Entendre]]: Kat claims that there's pee in her bag in [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=533 this strip.] Turns out to be the [[Wii|Wintendo Pee]].

* [[Double Take]]: Art, when he [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=249 hears that Kat killed her former teacher.]

* [[Dream Sequence]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=622 622] to [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=634 634]

* [[Droste Image]]: Pip meets the [[Author Avatar]] hamster in the [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=193 strip] itself. He gives Pip a copy of his latest strip (which at the time was that very strip.) Pip looks at the strip, which is about Pip looking at the strip, looking at the strip, looking at the strip and so on.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Kat slams Hilary with a flying kick to the face for the above-mentioned lies she spread about Kat.

* [[Epic Fail]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=667 The only way to describe this.]

* [[Everyone Can See It]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=404 Say "yes, Ms. Thorn"]... [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=748 Valentines] sequence -- pleasant surprise, [[Luminescent Blush|blush]], [[Twice Shy|awkwardness]], [[Face Palm]].

* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Jack.

** An ''artist'' named Art, no less.

* [[Explosive Overclocking]]: "For the love of God, man! Shut it down! SHUT IT [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=90 DOW-]

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=91 "There's a Shift key in my eye."]

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=669 Scarlet doesn't like candy canes.]

* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Pickles the Dragon. Looks like a cute puppy/dragon hybrid right? It unleashes its "beast" side by {{spoiler|[[Nightmare Fuel|TURNING ITSELF INSIDE OUT!]]}}

* [[Fridge Logic]]: Art is often unable to convince the authorities to help him with various situations, with the idea being that the situations are too weird for anyone to believe. Regular enough for humor value, but one of the weird things that no one believes (or he thinks no one will believe) is that his housemates are anthropomorphic animals. Yet no one bats an eye when Pip, Kat, or Scarlet go out in public. Kat and Hilary both apparently attended a public school, Kat has a job with a human boss and Hilary is a client for Art's company at one point and the head of a lingerie company. So if anthropomorphic animals are so accepted, why would the police not, say, believe a call that a squirrel girl broke into the house?

*** Fans which he draws like [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=63 this]. The man knows the Internets.

*** Of course, the whole argument centers around the rather [[Fridge Logic]] idea that someone has to be a furry to draw anthropomorphic characters as opposed to any number of other valid reasons.

* [[Furry Confusion]]: Leonard

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Scarlet. Managed to use household tools to build a working [[Wave Motion Gun]]. Also her sisters managed to make a lawnmower escape the earth's atmosphere.

* G.I.R.L.: Invoked and averted [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=266 here].

* [[Glasgow Grin]]: A variation. It's stated in Jack's official bio that his "mouth" is actually a crack in his face, meaning he's broken. This pretty much explains why he was the only Denizen who turned out to be evil.

* [[Hive Mind]]: Again, Scarlet and her sisters. {{spoiler|The reason they're such ditzes most of the time is that each is one part out of a 4-part superintelligence.}} As seen when everyone plays the board version of Land of Lorecraft: everyone against Pip, the squirrel sisters {{spoiler|manage to pull off a spectacular plan on Pip to allow Kat and Art to beat him unhindered.}}

** {{spoiler|Which just goes to show, never challenge a bio-supercomputer to a [[Too Dumb to Live|strategy game]]}}

** The Denizens also seem to need a truly evil member of their species - such as Jack - to behave in any way malevolent.

* [[Hot Amazon]]: [[Ms. Fanservice|Helga]], the in-universe assistant to PMJ's [[Author Avatar]]. [http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/art/Helga-Armour-Sketch-165191592 This image] reveals that she's actually a Valkyrie kicked out of Asgard for [[Noodle Incident|undisclosed property damage.]]

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Pip and Fern in this "[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=264 Victory Pose"]

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Art of all people [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=607 cannot take characters with crazy eyebrows seriously].

* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=661 here.]

* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Ezekiel Pretz]] doesn't stop trying to stab [[Catgirl|Kat]] and [[Perky Goth|Vanity]] after he gets set on fire. {{spoiler|At least until his arm falls off.}}

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Scarlet and her sisters again. Even after the artist [[Bleached Underpants|bleaches the comic's underpants]], the most they ever wear are t-shirts, and they have no qualms about removing them.

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=418 Ummm...yeah.]

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=559 Don't touch Pip's bits without asking.]

* [[Ironic Echo Cut]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=302 seen here]

* [[Kill Sat]]: Jack's favorite toy.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Scarlet directly causes the death of an unknown, but presumably very large, number of people through her inattentive actions when she activates the above mentioned [[Kill Sat]]. Beyond Pip calmly stating "I'll kill her", this is never brought up again. You might think that letting the villain destroy a skyscraper and turn people on the ground into dust, solely because of her stupidity, might cause some sort of repercussions. Presumably the reason she's never called on this is because she's cute.

** A number of the more dangerous situations that the protagonists find themselves in can be traced back to Scarlet in one way or another, really. {{spoiler|She created the ray gun that provided the technological basis for the [[Kill Sat]], her connection to Quinten indirectly leads to a potential link between Oz and the aforementioned Kill Sat through Kat's kidnapping, and her (and her sisters') latest lawnmower design causes Art to be considered a threat worth of EXTERMINATION by a group of robotic aliens.}}

* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: To Art at least. Timmy talks to Kat nicely and normally while, at the same time, barraging the poor sod with snowballs.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Pip is by far the guiltiest, wearing his trademark sweater on the hottest day of the summer.

** At first, [[Scenery Censor|Scarlet is naked]]. When she finally gets a (singular) shirt, she never changes it. Lampshaded in one comic when Art suggests she wash it, so she does -- without taking it off.

* [[Living Crashpad]]: Art "[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=512 landed] on something ''soft''"

* [[Living Shadow]]: The Denizens

* [[MacGyvering]]: Scarlet and her "sisters" worked in R&D. Thus, they used to build all sorts of [[Mad Scientist|crazy stuff they invent]] as [[Hive Mind|Think Tank]]. One [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=198 request stated too vaguely], one souvenir blaster, a handful of scavenged random parts -- and [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Think Tank.

'''Art:''' D'you mean "fix" or "weaponise"? }}

* [[Magic Skirt]]: Averted, ''[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=630 HARD.]''

* [[Mission Control Is Off Its Meds]]: OZBASIC, as stated above, is an homage to GlaDOS and is to Kat what GlaDOS is to Chell.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: "Quickly, Helga! To the web-cam!"

* [[Mundane Utility]]: Pip uses a [[Star Wars|TIE Interceptor]] to go grocery shopping.

* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Pip wears a pair of goggles.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Mr. Funk Cho, [[Johnny Depp|Jimmy Dapp]], [[Sean Connery|Sean Connolly]].

* [[Noodle Incident]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=398 "Do you think anyone will find her out here?"]

* [[Not-So-Innocent Whistle]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=282 Scarlet] after she {{spoiler|accidentally gives Jack the technology for a powerful ray gun.}}

* [[Number of the Beast]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=666 Lampshaded], or something, by the [[Author Avatar]] himself in the 666th strip. [[Bonus Points]] for the [[Zalgo]] reference.

** [http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/art/Transparent-Hair-296638516 Lampshaded] by the artist.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Art

** And in the next comic: "Well, then stop rubbing your arse against me!"

* [[Panty Shot]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=447 It doesn't matter what the author says]

** [[Must Have Caffeine|It's the coffee]]. [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=406 "From introvert to extrovert in one cup!"]

* [[Porn Stash]]:

'''Kat:''' I like the way that folder is marked [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|"reference material"]]. }}

* [[Powered Armor]]: Scarlett and her sisters make a suit in [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=582 this strip] to fight a giant bug. Or rather were intending to make a [[Humongous Mecha]], made a [[Unit Confusion|scaling error]], then liked it and made more "Soopa Soots".

* [[Power Glows]]: "Why do these mystical tomes have to be so bright?!"

* [[Pre-Explosion Glow]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=90 BOOM!]

* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Ms. Strinpit - possibly only towards Kat and the kids in her last school, judging by how she gave Hilary the easiest questions and assigned Kat with ones that couldn't be answered without research (research she would never allow). More like [[Evil Teacher]], really.

* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=646 Yoink!]

* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Art, as Kat finds out while watching a slasher with him and Pip.

* [[Scenery Censor]]: Scarlet originally ran around the house naked. Kat eventually got her a jumper. Her sisters wear shirts from their old science lab. They're still 1 awkward pose away from falling out of them.

*** Can we get the reference made there please?

**** Unless I'm mistaken, it's a reference to the village of Royston Vasey from ''The League of Gentlemen''.

*** [[Companion Cube|Buddy Brick.]]

** During a [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=410 photo shoot], Kat and Vanity stay at the [[The Shining|Overlook Hotel]].

** [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=610 "Tomb"?]

** And then there was [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=678 Minecraft].

** The Martian Invasion story arc has [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=711 one to] [[Doctor Who]]. The Eldak are basically expies of the Daleks, their very name is an anagram of the infamous pepper-pots and they use the Dalek's [[Catch Phrase]], "Exterminate!". Then [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=712 another] to [[Star Wars]] when Pip finds some TIE Interceptors to [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=719 play with].

** Pip the penguin apparently has an [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=743 Uncle Feathers] who was a career criminal. Sure enough, his last name turns out to be [[Wallace and Gromit|McGraw]].

* [[Side-Story Bonus Art]]: [http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/gallery/24659192 The gallery] on [[Deviant ART]] -- enjoy [[Fan Service]], [[Trolling Creator|trolling]], [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|trollservice]]...

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Squirrelly Ears Lawyer]]: Scarlet and her sisters.

* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: In-universe -- Art gets [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=535 very annoyed] Kat's having fun with her new Wintendo system. He gets over it. We think.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Most of the Think Tank's inventions lead to this.

* [[Subliminal Seduction]]: Played with [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=738 here.] Technically, [[Refuge in Audacity|this isn't subliminal.]]

* [[Super-Deformed]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=525 In Scarlet's imagination, anyway.]

* [[Supervillain Lair]]: Again, Under the House in the form of an [[Elaborate Underground Base]].

* [[Take That]]: [[Acceptable Targets|Uwe Boll]] is ragged on in at least two comics; see below.

* [[Team Pet]]: Leonard

* [[Tears of Remorse]]

* [[Tender Tears]]

* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|Throwing Your Gun Always Works]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=294 Well, it was a fake gun to begin with.]

* [[Transplant]]: Kat and Vanity were characters from a superhero comic Jackson had done years prior.

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Whenever Art and Kat are together they're either [[Like an Old Married Couple]] or [[Ship Tease]] happens. [[Everyone Can See It]].

** Lampshaded painfully [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=748 here.]

* [[Unsound Effect]]: 'Violate Violate', from Spider and Scorpion 83.

** And, apparently, Uwe'Boll is one of 4 [[Eldritch Abomination|demons]]: he is that "[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=637 whose touch turns all to poo]" ([http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=649 which turns out to be a plot point.])

* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=194 Helga]

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|When the Eldak's best attack simply reverts Art back to his normal, slim self, they instantly believe that he's invincible and panic.}}

** This became the focal point for on entire story arc... {{spoiler|complete with a [[Doctor Who|Dalek]] [[Expy]] race out to kill him because of it.}}

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Scarlet's sisters were brainwashed into having a crippling phobia of the outdoors {{spoiler|to prevent them from ever running away like Scarlet did.}}

** Of course, this being [[Mad Scientist|Think Tank]], the limitation was eventually circumvented by {{spoiler|tinkering up opaque visors that show everything without depth perception.}}

* [[Wetware CPU]]: Amber, Jade, Violet, and Scarlet formed a four-part organic supercomputer at Quinten R&D.
