The series possesses the same style and humor of ''The Nekci Menij Show'', featuring intentionally misspelled words, crudely drawn characters with text-to-speech voices, and turning nearly every contestant from ''Drag Race'' (as well as every judge, and pretty much anyone who has ever been involved with the show) into an exaggerated parody of themselves. Also like ''Necki Menij'', in between all the slapstick humor and insults there is a heavy amount of GeniusBonus: in every single episode many references are made to not only jokes from within the show, but to queens' social media happenings, spin-off shows/other media involving the queens, and inside jokes among fan communities, as well as references to pretty much any other show of internet meme the creator could fit in. All of this combined creates a show that, while it appears to just be a parody of ''[=RuPaul=]'s Drag Race'', has evolved into its own unique work.

Rapal Dark Res is an animated parody of the series ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', starting from season seven. The episodes began as just a few minutes long but by the premiere of the first episode of season 9, episodes were twenty minutes long. The show follows the basic idea of the actual series, parodies of the contestants compete for the crown with a queen leaving every episode.

* AmbiguousSituation : It is never revealed why Cher was sent to kidnap Max or how she was working for
* AnimationAgeGhetto: All of the art is done in Ms Paint, and crudely so with limited movement. Though, the character's outfits change every episode to match their runway looks and the animation has become more ambitious with more movement.
* Malapropism: And how, every name and almost every word is spelled intentionally wrong.

to:

* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: After Episode 2 of Season 9 was stuck in DevelopmentHell well-past the finish of the real Season 9, the creator decided to save time by making Episode 2 a mashup of the plots of Episodes 2-5 of ''Drag Race'' Season 9, leading to a challenge that is a mashup of the challenges from those episodes.
--> '''Rapal:''' "We're going cheerleading... and on a good morning show... in a Disney Channel fairy tale special... featuring Kim Kardashian."
* AmbiguousSituation : It is never revealed why Cher Share was sent to kidnap Max Mess or how who she was working for
for.
* AnimationAgeGhetto: All of the ArtEvolution: The art is done style went through a massive jump in Ms Paint, quality between Seasons 7 and crudely so with limited movement. Though, the 8, including drawing each character's outfits change every episode to match full body rather than just their runway looks heads and the making use of computer animation has become to clean up backgrounds and sets.
* ButtMonkey: Any low-placing queen is usually subject to this by the rest of the cast.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: While still displaying the same brand of humor, the show's first season (parodying Season 7 of ''Drag Race'') was ''much''
more ambitious free-form in its plot than later seasons would be. Each episode was usually a parody of its respective ''Drag Race'' episode InNameOnly, and would instead feature the queens going on all sorts of adventures, usually ending up on the streets or at some queen's house, and would feature many non-Season 7 queens. In this sense, the show was closer to ''The Nekci Menij Show'' with ''Drag Race'' characters rather than a parody of ''Drag Race''. The show became much more movement.
* Malapropism: And how, every name
reeled-in with Season 8, with each episode following (a spoofed version of) the plot of the episode of ''Drag Race'' it was named after, and almost relegating the majority of the action to locations within the ''Drag Race'' studio, rather than locations created by the show.
** The first season also followed the ''Nekci Menij'' tradition of showing each character as a talking head without a body. Starting with Season 8, each character was given a body in addition to their head.
* Any time a character says "God" (in "Oh my God" or any other context), it is replaced with "Rapal" in the subtitles.
* {Malapropisms}: The intentional misspelling of
every word sometimes leads to these, when it doesn't result in entirely made-up words.
* MythologyGag: As the show draws heavy inspiration from ''The Nekci Menij Show'', many references and throwbacks are made to the latter.
** For starters, any misspelling of a celebrity's name from ''Nekci Menij''
is spelled intentionally wrong.kept (i.e. Beyonce is still "Bayonse", Katy Perry is still "Kety Perr", etc.)
** Characters whose real-life equivalents are known for impersonating a certain celebrity feature faces based off of the ''Nekci Menij'' version of that celebrity: Choad Mickels has the same face as Share, and Dick Berries has a face based on Brinty Spreas.
** On ''Nekci Menij'', characters based on "important" real-life celebrities were given the Dolan face. This tradition is kept for the characters based on important ''Drag Race'' figures (specifically RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Jinkx Monsoon, and Bianca Del Rio).
* ParodyAssistance: Alaska, who has on multiple occasions said she is a fan of the show, went one step further and voiced her own caricature for the Season 9 premiere.
* ShoutOut: Let's put it this way: If it is in any way related to ''[=Rupaul=]'s Drag Race'' or a queen who has been on the show, ''Dark Res'' has probably referenced it.
** Cunta Lie Fondant's Season 9 entrance mimics LadyGaga's half-time show entrance for the 2017 SuperBowl.
** Milf's face is based on "handsome Squidward" from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants''.
* TakeThat: And nobody is safe from getting the shit ripped out of them. Every single minute character flaw or quirk of a queen is exploited and parodied mercilessly.
* XMeetsY: The show is best described as ''WebAnimation/TheNekciMenijShow'' meets ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace''.
