* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Megatheos and the other gods in Groo's world. When they are introduced in the ''Wager of the Gods'' arc, they are generally a childish and petty lot who are mostly interested in bragging about their respective heroes. Megatheos is also this, in addition to being lazier than the other gods, with Chakaal refusing to do his bidding on account of him being "a lazy god who neglects the people who call to him until he needs them for his own amusement," to quote her. Much later, in ''Fray of the Gods'' and ''Play of the Gods'', their personalities are very different, with all of them looking upon the events on earth with much concern, and with Megatheos in particular standing out as a level-headed and prescient god.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: In ''Groo: Fray of the Gods'' and ''Groo: Play of the Gods'' it is shown that the gods in Groo's world need people's belief and worship to exist, very much like the gods in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''. Indeed, as a result of the shenanigans in ''Play of the Gods'', ''Groo'' ends up becoming the god of cheese dip and mindless fraying, much to the horror of all the other gods.

* InsultBackfire: In the ''Day of the Pig'' arc, the main villain, a demagogue who has gathered a large following by telling people what they want to hear, falls victim of this when he tries to insult a man by asking him "Who died and made you king?" The man being asked is none other than the city's king himself. Predictably, his answer is a deadpan "My father."

''Groo the Wanderer'' is a ComicBook created and drawn by Creator/SergioAragones and written by him and Creator/MarkEvanier (with Creator/StanSakai lettering). It started off as a parody of {{Barbarian Hero}}es, most notably [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan]], making fun of fantasy tropes along the way. As the series continued, however, the stories have shifted to general comedy, with occasional commentary on RealLife social events and situations. Over the last twenty-five years, more than 150 issues have been printed by five different publishers, most recently by Creator/DarkHorseComics.
