** ''Finally'' revealed during the intro blip for the seventh game. Apparently, "Pastaland". It's still a complete mystery where THAT is, but at least we have a name. Of course, the seventh game itself takes place in another land entirely, Anastasia. Stated to be Dudim's hometown, but it certainly isn't [[CloudCuckooland much saner.]]

Not only does he hate being dragged onto any of the adventures the Charisma gang inevitably go on, but he's actually a ''boss'' in the second one, and he isn't someone in disguise either. His dialogue is also nothing but whining, probably as an in-joke more than likely.

** Then, there are various miscellaneous ones scattered throughout the series. Brynn and his Horse Ranch worship [[TheBigBangTheory Sheldon]], the [[SegaDreamcast Katana]] and [[MicrosoftWindows Chicago]] levels in Charisma 5, and how apparently every title screen to date has had a humorous, surreal, and often out of context snapshot from FullHouse.

* CloudCuckooland: Every single location in ''every single game''. Considering it's a series of [[JustifiedTrope joke games]], this is most definitely intentional.
* CloudCuckoolander: Pretty much everyone to some extent, but special mention goes to Scott in the seventh game. He fucking cuts down a tree by throwing a pair of scissors at it, for Christ's sake!
* ObviousBeta: Charisma 4 invokes this, but not conventionally: the game is very clearly unfinished, but is really more of a tech demo than it is an unfinished game. That is, what little features are present in the single "level" all function properly and without much issue.
* OriginalCharacter: The only reason the Charisma series really has any relation to the Mario games is because it starred a bunch of users from a Mario fan forum who used tweaked Mario characters as their avatars. Even though a lot of these characters left in the seventh game, the spirit of using fan characters continued with the likes of Padded Rick and ancient golem john.

* SpoilerOpening: Super Charisma Bros. 5's opening directly spoils the third game's ending by flashbacking to it. It even [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] Geno into the background traveling back in time himself to justify his presence!
