** [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1068-no-political-pundits-were-harmed-during-the-production-of-this-strip One strip]] directly references the trope in its title, using a parody of a Creator/FoxNewsChannel political pundit.

* StrawmanNewsMedia: Cox "News", a parody of the Creator/FoxNewsChannel. They are implied to use AirQuotes on "News" to weasel out of the fact that they are not an actual news agency, but a partisan propaganda network used to manipulate conservatives with disinformation. When a future generation uses a time machine to call the current generation out on ruining the world, they belittle them as rude millennials and demonize liberals as jerks who want to take your money. They also suggest that corporations should have the right to vote and that poor people are not people. They are complete hypocrites who want to lower taxes but only for themselves and end free speech in the name of free speech by making themselves a monopoly. One of their political pundits even privately admits that his accusations about socialists planning to take away free speech and guns are absolute lies and expresses pride in being a liar.

* SelfServingMemory: He get a peek into [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=165-perception Lazy Pony's mental perception]], where he imagines himself with flowing blond hair and a nice suit (while seeing Good Girl as a child).

* FaceHeelTurn: Distracterella started out as a crimefighter, using her charm to disable crooks. Unfortunately, she got tired of cops being equally turned into drooling idiots when arriving on site and allowing the crooks to flee. She eventually got fed up and turned villain instead.
* FanDisservice: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=049-candybar-incident Lazer Pony thinking he's alone in the house]].

* FlyingBrick:
** Asstronomous
** Sarcasmo
** Mary-Sue

* HeroInsurance: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=202-double-trouble Lazer Pony has one]]. Too bad it mostly cover damage to blimps.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: The main cast.

** Currently provides the page image, as Gyrognome is showing a couple around one of his rental properties, only for Lazer Pony to send a blast through the house.

* LipstickLesbian: Eva and Alex, although ironically, Eva's sense of modesty comes ''after'' she "comes out" as one.

* ParodySue: Mary-Sue the FlyingBrick. She used to date Keith but he broke up when he grew bored with how absolutely perfect she is in every way. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=163-likabillity She has flaws]]. [[InformedFlaw Not that you'd notice...]] Her clumsiness reappears when Asstronomus tries to hit on her, in a CursedWithAwesome way.
* PatchworkMap: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=830-all-the-kingdoms-of-the-world A snowy plane, a desert, a rainforest and an ocean, all right next to each other]]. Makes no sense.

* SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX: Coupled with some FantasticRacism by an alien [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=125-visitation regarding denizens of the Milky Way galaxy]].
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: {{Subverted}} in that [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=152-identity-test it wasn't really Keith.]]

* SpotTheImposter: Unfortunately, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=202-double-trouble the one doing the spotting]] is Lazer Pony.

* StrawmanNewsMedia: Cox "News", a parody of the Creator/FoxNewsChannel. They are implied to use AirQuotes on "News" to weasel out of the fact that they are not an actual news agency, but a partisan propoganda network used to manipulate conservatives with disinformation. When a future generation uses a time machine to call the current generation out on ruining the world, they belittle them as rude millennials and demonize liberals as jerks who want to take your money. They also suggest that corporations should have the right to vote and that poor people are not people. They are complete hypocrites who want to lower taxes but only for themselves and end free speech in the name of free speech by making themselves a monopoly. One of their political pundits even privately admits that his accusations about socialists planning to take away free speech and guns are absolute lies and expresses pride in being a liar.

* SuperZeroes: The entire cast (save Keith, who's just TheSlacker).

* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The comic alternates between strips that advance a plot arc and ones that are one-shot jokes.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Lazer Pony is deathly afraid of spiders. Good thing he can't see them, because whenever clued in there is a spider around, he starts randomly firing his EyeBeams. Luckily for Arachnid Dude, he had no idea what the word "Arachnid" meant for a long while. Recently, LP as a prison guard [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=655-getting-your-rep dealt with]] "Spider," a super-prisoner who tried to throw his weight around, but didn't [[DidntThinkThisThrough realize a hero afraid of spiders who can shoot]] EyeBeams [[BullyingADragon you should NEVER threaten.]]

* WorthIt: [[http://superredundant.com/comics/2013-03-25-strip%20-%20221.jpg Buckaress while working as a waitress in a Hooters-style restaurant.]] She's even in the front image of the trope.

* XRaySparks: Mary-Sue, with Lazer Pony in her arms, end up struck by lightning while flying. We get a very detailed picture of their skeletons as a result. Mary-Sue happens to be immune to electricity; [[TheChewToy Lazer Pony is not]].
* XRayVision: Bolfman [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=731-perversion invents x-ray specs]] on behalf of perverts everywhere and gets a good glimpse... of a woman's skeleton. He still finds it sexy, of course.

* YouAreTooLate: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=651-who-watches-the-time-men Not much]] of a problem when you've got TimeTravel.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=367-parting OH. MY. GOD!]], says Keith, after Eva cheek kisses Buckaress.

** [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=783-heroes-of-old heroes of legend may find themselves in trouble when mortals know all the stories about their weaknesses.]]

* AllMythsAreTrue: Many gods are superheroes, which [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=187-theistic-debate can get awkward]] when gods of the same personification from different pantheons meet. Also, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=783-heroes-of-old heroes of legend may find themselves in trouble when mortals know all the stories about their weaknesses.]]

* InsistentTerminology: Flying-Fox Man (a Franchise/{{Batman}} {{Expy}}) insists he has no sidekick, only "crime-solving junior partners". {{Justified|Trope}}, since anyone mentioned to be his "sidekick" tends to immediately [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily get hit with a crowbar]].

* PaletteSwap: A speedster hero complains that [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=470-the-zoom-paradigm a villain is using a palette-swapped version of his costume]], in a parody of Franchise/TheFlash and Reverse Flash.

** Oh so many. Arachnid Dude in particular lampoons ''some'' aspect of Franchise/SpiderMan literally every time he appears, and Flying-Fox Man relentlessly mocks the fact that Franchise/{{Batman}} has [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=126-the-jinx gone]] [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=256-advancement through]] [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=413-true-detective multiple]] Robins.

*** [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=387-genetically-gifted First]] is [[Franchise/XMen Xander Charles' School for the Genetically Gifted]], where Josie expresses concern over the fact that the school is targeted ''constantly'' by the "Brotherhood of Evil-Something".

* GagBoobs: It's a superhero parody comic. The number of women that appear that ''don't'' have large breasts is in the single digits. Eva takes this a step further, as after several art changes she is very clearly drawn to be at least twice as buxom as every other woman around her.

** Sorry, Mr. Jackson, but taking a crazy risk [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=208-consequences doesn't always pay off]].
** An Iron Man {{Expy}} invites a woman to try on his PowerArmor as a pickup line -- [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=232-bronze-honcho suffice to say, it doesn't go well]].
** A supervillain once manages to successfully tie all the limbs of the Spider-Man {{Expy}} so that he can't attack him. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=326-biology He then taunts him about not being able to shoot web out of his hands]]. Part of the taunt involves a mention about real spiders being seemingly able to shoot web out of their anus. [[TemptingFate You can see how well that ends up for said supervillain]].
** A parody strip tells a story of a man who loved crayfish so much that he used to catch them in the river all the time. Eventually, he put on a lobster costume and called himself the [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=264-crayfish-cravings "Cray-Crayfish man"]], not because he gained mutant lobster powers, but because he went insane after fishing for Crayfish in a stream full of toxic waste for a while.

** A super once demonstrates that he can jump so high, he can wind himself into space with a single leap. However, since BatmanCanBreatheInSpace is averted within this strip....
** Kurgh the Conqueror managed to successfully seize control over Shitropolis. He now has to suffer the total monotony of dealing with mayoral politics.
** When you travel through time, make sure you also travel through space to land somewhere safe. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=178-universal-expansion Or somewhere at all.]]

** A [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willie Wonka]] {{Expy}} gets [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=726-bucket-list arrested]] for NoOSHACompliance and slavery.
** An [[BarFullOfAliens alien bar owner]] is forced to operate on the bartering system since perceived value cannot be maintained between thousands of different races across the galaxy.
** A massive alien spy using a hologram device to look like a little girl is not fooling anyone, because looking like a little girl doesn't stop him from weighing enough to leave enormous footprints in concrete.
** It turns out that the super-addictive fried chicken of the other world arc isn't magic or impossibly delicious. The real reason everyone couldn't get enough is that [[spoiler:[[http://superredundant.com/?comic=929-imperial-foundation the secret ingredient is coca leaves]], the major component of cocaine]].
** [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=951-criminal-activity One would-be villain]] is in jail because he fell behind on child support planning his bank heist and building the giant vacuum cleaner for it, which had some major issues, like transporting the giant vacuum cleaner to the bank or getting its hose into the vault.

*** In the same strip, Lazer Pony isn't at all bothered by being told this is going to cost a lot of money to fix, because he's not the landlord. Gyrognome is the one who's being forced to pay.
*** In the next strip, when Gyrognome threatens to kick them all out and sue them for devaluing his property, Lazer Pony and Keith point out that doing so would alert the neighbors to how the entire neighborhood is built on top of a massive cave system that could collapse at any moment.

* ImprobableAimingSkills:
** Inverted, as [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=117-team-practice Buckaress's aim is impossibly bad]].
** Played straight and made even more improbable when it's Cat-A-Pult's cats [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=153-fool-me-once doing the aiming]].

* BalefulPolymorph: Maroon Jackdaw transforms Asstronomous's head into a donkey's to punish him for repeatedly annoying the superheroines at the Bar of Justice. (Eventually he reverses the condition by going back in time, getting a DNA sample from himself, cloning his body, and transferring his mind to the clone. Which to him, was less trouble than promising not to do it again, which would have convinced Jackdaw to undo it herself.)

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Asstronomous' PR agent [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=255-image is concerned over his drop in popularity in the 14-25 demographic]]. [[invoked]]

** Taken UpToEleven with Mosquito Man, of which there have been no fewer than [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=412-wildlife 113!]]

* PyrrhicVillainy: Distracterella's gang manages to rob a bank, get away with the loot, and humiliate Asstronomous by causing him to crash into a building. Unfortunately for them, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=149-consequences this gets them upgraded]] from the "Ignore List" to the "Top Priority List". Oops.

* BlindingBangs: Lazer Pony has hair covering his eyes the very rare times we see him out of costume. As he's blind it's hardly a hindrance, though he would fit in the dumbass category anyway. And since his EyeBeams power had burned out his eyes five years ago, it's probably best they aren't visible.
