* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:The final level appears at first to be a final BattleOfTheBands between Charlie Murder and Gore Quaffer...then Lord Mortimer just knocks the band out.]]

* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried: Charlie and Kelly in the Good Ending.]]
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Circe seems to have this after zapping the band to near death in the final battle. Disobeying Mortimer's orders to kill them results in him impaling her with his scythe in a blind fit of rage, shortly followed by King Tepe's retaliation for killing his girlfriend leading to the same fate. Beelzabal crushes his contract with Gore Quaffer and leaves Mortimer to fend for himself.]]

* [[spoiler:IdenticalStranger: The Angel of Chaos in his first form looks like the Fallen Engineer from the Dishwasher games]]

Charlie is the lead singer of the titular band, Charlie Murder, a massively popular [[Music/PunkRock Punk Rock]] band. But on his rise to fame, Charlie and the band happened to spurn Charlie's former friend, Paul. Powered by envy and jealously, Paul [[MeaningfulName Bitterman]] [[DealWithTheDevil strikes a deal]] with dark forces, becoming Lord Mortimer, lead singer of the DeathMetal band Gore Quaffer. In a short span of weeks, [[BattleOfTheBands a massive rivalry between the two bands builds up]], eventually culminating in Gore Quaffer's bassist [[{{Necromancer}} Circe Bathory]] starting a fully blown zombie apocalypse, and the lot of them shortly thereafter beating Charlie Murder within an inch of their collective lives. Charlie and crew narrowly survive, pull themselves together, and set out to set Gore Quaffer straight once and for all.

* SinisterSchythe: Lord Mortimer wields one.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After [[spoiler:Lord Mortimer kills Circe and King Tepes, the nameless demon drummer points out his contract, and vanishes in a puff of flames.]]

* AndShowItToYou: One of the band's later abilities. They tear the heart out of nearly-dead enemies, and ''eat it''.

* SignsOfDisrepair: During the second song sequence, Paul is playing at a bar and has a sign up reading 'Praying for a sign'. After the nearby TV plays one of Charlie's songs, he freaks out and causes a paint can to spill over the sign which now reads 'P[[spoiler:r]]ay[[spoiler:ing]] for [[spoiler:a]] si[[spoiler:g]]n'.

Charlie is the lead singer of the titular band, Charlie Murder, a massively popular [[Music/PunkRock Punk Rock]] band. But on his rise to fame, Charlie and the band happened to spurn Charlie's former friend, Paul. Powered by envy and jealously, Paul [[MeaningfulName Bitterman]] [[DealWithTheDevil strikes a deal]] with dark forces, becoming Lord Mortimer, lead singer of the DeathMetal band Gore Quaffer. In a short span of weeks, [[BattleOfTheBands a massive rivalry between the two bands builds up]], eventually culminating in Gore Quaffer's guitarist [[{{Necromancer}} Circe Bathory]] starting a fully blown zombie apocalypse, and the lot of them shortly thereafter beating Charlie Murder within an inch of their collective lives. Charlie and crew narrowly survive, pull themselves together, and set out to set Gore Quaffer straight once and for all.

* BigThinShortTrio: The rest of the band who aren't [[TheHero Charlie]] and [[ActionGirl Kelly]]. Lester is tall and rail-thin. Tommy is the shorter than even Kelly. Rex is marginally shorter than Lester, but probably has more mass than the rest of the band put together.

* FeedItWithFire: the [[DualBoss Twin Scenelords]] are healed by normal attacks when you attack the wrong one.

* MushroomSamba: In the Camp Falconbats side area, Charlie and friends eat random pills that they find lying on a picnic table, causing them to completely trip balls and run through a multicolored psychedelic chalk-outline world, fighting cultists and demons, while wielding an infinite supply of chainsaws/shotguns. (As soon as a chainsaw breaks or a shotgun runs out of ammo and you throw it, you instantly get a new shotgun or chainsaw.) Eventually you fight a bizarre brain monster and the trip ends. You then run back to the beginning of the area to discover that [[spoiler:all the cultists you murdered were actually just hippies. The last living hippie screams in terror and tries to run away from you, only to trip and violently impale his head on a branch.]]
