* '''Played for Laughs''': Evulz's armor is the RiceBurner of [[InsultToRocks scary and impractical armors]], painted in what should be blood red but looks pink, with a helmet that is supposed to be a dragon but looks like a teapot, and Evulz has already stabbed himself five or six times with the integrated blades. Even the background music, which begins as incredibly intimidating, gets on the joke by switching to tubas or kazoos.
