* NamesTheSame: PlayedForLaughs when describing the real vs. fictional bands known as [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140102121504/http://www.mitchclem.com/nothingnice/290/ The Misfits.]][[invoked]]

* ILoveNuclearPower: One story involves a radioactive skunk spraying Fletcher in the eyes with radioactive skunk juice, blinding him but giving him superhuman senses and leads to him embarking on a career as a crimefighter. Well, mostly fighting the post-Trent Reznor ''Misfits'', but still! [[spoiler: Except he was never blinded at all, he just couldn't see because of the bandages over his eyes, and it's left ambigious wether he had powers at all]]

* BaldOfAwesome / BaldOfEvil: Depending on the strip, Fletcher can be either.

* RealityEnsues: After Fletcher beats up Phillip for making fun of him for crying over striking out with a girl, he ends up in court for assault.

* BurgerFool: Fletcher works as at Burger World, where he's fired from in the first appearance for insulting a customers mullet hair, but still works there later.

* HatePlague: The "Law And Order" arc reveals that Phillip, the resident emo, suffers from something called "Whiny Bitch" phermones, which makes it impossible for anyone not to beat the shit out of him, as discovered when Fletcher ends up in court for assaulting him, and the judge and ''his own lawyer'' cant resist attacking him either. The authorities end up tossing him in solitary confinment to keep him out of peoples hair.
* ILoveNuclearPower: One story involes a radioactive skunk spraying Fletcher in the eyes with radioactive skunk juice, blinding him but giving him superhuman senses and leads to him embarking on a career as a crimefighter. Well, mostly fighting the post-Trent Reznor ''Misfits'', but still! [[spoiler: Except he was never blinded at all, he just couldnt see because of the bandages over his eyes, and it's left ambigious wether he had powers at all]]

* OnlySaneMan: While not COMPLETELY above the strips idiocy, Blake plays this role, and is pretty much the only reason Fletcher hasnt gotten himself killed yet.

--> '''Fletcher''': I'm just so bored with the state of punk rock today. I should start something. Like a zine maybe. No - - a band! I'll start a band.

-->'''Fletcher''': ...uh - - okay. So band it is then.

* SmallReferencePools: If you arent into the punk scene, you're going to have one ''hell'' of a time getting some jokes.
* SmokingIsCool / SmokingIsNotCool: Fletcher begins to smoke to give himself more punk cred. The strip itself doesnt pull any punches about what an idiot he's being.

* LesYay: Parodied with Alice and Karen. Karen originally started a relationship with Alice for the sole purpose of establishing a strong lesbian base in the punk rock scene, but the relationship later blossomed into a permanent and solid romantic partnership (aside from a brief story where MoralGuardians forced them to break up to make the strip palatable to syndicated newspapers).

* RealityEnsues: After Fletcher beats up Phillip for making fun of him for crying over striking out with a girl, he ends up in court for assault.

* RealityEnsus: After Fletcher beats up Phillip for making fun of him for crying over striking out with a girl, he ends up in court for assault.

* HilariousInHindsight: One 2002 strip complains about George Bush losing the popular vote but winning the electorate vote, and launching the invasion of Afghanistan without Congress approval, as well as social problems following the election. After the 2016 victory of DonaldTrump, this strip seems postiviely quiant.

''Nothing Nice to Say'' (or [=NN2S=] as it is often shortened to) is a webcomic about PunkRock by Mitch Clem. It's mostly gag-based, but has a few brief storylines, including a parody of superhero comics that involves Glenn {{Danzig}}, the formation of a bike punk gang and the "selling out" of the strip's artist.

The first book collecting the strips in paper form will be out on October 15, 2008.
