* CriticalDissonance: This is a somewhat decent summary of how people react to the comic (at least in its early run; there has been very little feedback of any sort on the more recent, post-2013-revival pages). Most of the formal reviews the comic received gave it a low score, while non-critical readers usually have a blast with it and in some cases it's even been called one of the best webcomics on Website/SmackJeeves. But as noted, the post-revival pages have received no feedback at all, so this measures only the early reactions.

* AcceptableHobbyTargets: [No Name] cracks a remark about [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furries]] on [[http://pogeymanz.smackjeeves.com/comics/695708/joe/ Page 11]], using that as the reason why Joe is all alone in his out-of-the-way house. The author has said he received a few unexpected but respectful comments about that remark and decided that'd be the last one of that nature in the comic.
** The one pyromaniac shown in the comic is absolutely crazy, having zero hesitation towards setting children on fire.
* AcceptableTargets: Alcoholism is frequently mentioned, parodied, or even made into a character quirk. In [[http://pogeymanz.smackjeeves.com/comics/2107991/man-of-registeel/ Page 64]], we're introduced (via flashback) to Regigigas, Registeel's dad, who is always drunk by default. He's shown to still be capable of creating or contributing to big projects such as building sentient robots (i.e. the Regis) but he's also said to frequently drunkenly agree to bets that are way too much for him to handle. [[spoiler: His failure to consider the ramifications of one bet cost him his children!]]

The other two levels in the level cluster are unforgiving enough!

!The following tropes are subjective in nature and are thus switched to this YMMV page:
* DemonicSpiders: Pretty much any enemy that floats around the current room unhindered. Especially egregious later on in the Hitmonchan campaign, in the level cluster called "The Ruins", in which there are:
** Gastlys that float around.
** Haunters that float around '''and occasionally disappear.''' (But can still kill you when invisible)
** Duskulls that float around, occasionally disappear, and occasionally pop out four fireballs that do not go away for at least five seconds. Not particularly helpful when many spaces in these rooms are only barely big enough to fit Hitmonchan.

* GoddamnBats: You know you're in deep doodoo when the very first level is filled with zig-zagging Crobats. These will become your worst nightmare very quickly. Later on, the Crobats are replaced with much-faster Aerodactyls, but at least those are usually one to a level.
* ThatOneBoss: Troll Rampardos in the Hitmonchan campaign. He can do tons of crazy stuff, can teleport all over the room, and you can only hurt him by forcing a Voltorb to explode near him first. [[spoiler: Or, you could type in "fail" during the battle, which causes an automatic victory.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: Devinus]], in the same campaign. The guy is completely untouchable [[spoiler: (the only way to "beat" him is to survive long enough for him to get tired of trying to destroy you)]] and can sweep the entire room in any given attack, with a few small windows of safety. That said, there are a few tiles that are safer than others, granting immunity to his Focus Blast and "spinning-energy" attacks (though it doesn't give immunity to his lightning-sweep or Spiritomb-summon attacks).
* ThatOneLevel: In the Hitmonchan campaign, the room immediately before the room that leads to the final boss takes the NintendoHard aspect of the game UptoEleven. How? You have to control two Hitmonchans (one is actually a Ditto), with one walking the direction opposite of the other, and if one dies, you have to restart the level.
