9[[http://stick-figs.tumblr.com/tagged/irrelevator/chrono IRRELEVATOR]] is a webcomic about three men stuck in an elevator that gradually escalates from just being stuck in an elevator to all sorts of bizarre things that have nothing to do with elevators. It is a StickFigureComic that is partially [[StickFigureAnimation animated]] and drawn in MS Paint. Even though they are individual strips which some seem to have no connection and things that happen are inexplicably undone in canon there is continuity that you need to get, so read the whole thing in order.

13!! IRRELEVATOR contains examples of:
14
15* AGodAmI: The green character when he [[http://i.imgur.com/wA81VWz.gif starts the elevator music religion]]. Again when he [[http://i.imgur.com/Xh7e0cc.gif gets]] [[http://i.imgur.com/1LY94sw.gif a]] [[http://i.imgur.com/n26DyxC.gif halo]].
16* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Irrelevator could've gotten away with this since they are stickmen, but [[http://i.imgur.com/EcOmN1q.gif this comic proved otherwise.]]
17* ArtShift: When zooming out, and when tripping the animation changed too. But mainly when we saw an x-ray of the green one.
18* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: There's no other reason a baby character would just be added out of the blue. It's just better that way.
19* CloudCuckoolander: The green one is this, mostly comes in the form of being oblivious.
20* ColorCodedCharacters: Green, Red and Blue, apart from colors they have only one thing different about their appearences. (Hair, Cap, Glasses)
21* DoorstopBaby: Not a doorstop really, [[http://i.imgur.com/fFdYEv4.gif they just found a baby in a neighbouring elevator.]]
22* ElevatorFailure: This comic is based on this, well this and bizarre things happening at the same time.
23* EndlessCorridor: [[http://i.imgur.com/TdsQrYz.gif Here]] they walk an endless staircase.
24* TheFinickyOne: The blue character is this.
25* FunctionalAddict: The green stickman is this, but it's difficult to tell how functional he is since he doesn't know what meth was or if he's god or not.
26* FreudianTrio: Green is Id, Red is Ego and Blue is Superego.
27* FrictionBurn: [[http://i.imgur.com/7Ra7yxQ.gif Happens to the Red guy. ]]
28* HippieJesus: Somewhat {{Subverted}} here, the green character has a the look, with peace symbol on his shirt does drugs and is laid back. But is not a [[http://i.imgur.com/DGxJwvX.gif prime example]] of spreading love and understanding.
29* LooksLikeJesus: The green stick figure who [[http://i.imgur.com/wA81VWz.gif looks]] a [[http://i.imgur.com/Xh7e0cc.gif lot]] like [[http://i.imgur.com/Git4AZX.gif Jesus.]]
30* LostFoodGrievance: [[http://i.imgur.com/DGxJwvX.gif Seen here]], this is against all etiquette when stuck on an island, or elevator.
31* MediumAwareness: Since comic one, panel three.
32* {{Montage}}: [[http://i.imgur.com/KlJ9V3w.gif Poop montage]], to be more specific.
33* MundaneLuxury: In [[http://i.imgur.com/EcOmN1q.gif comic 12]] this happens with the red one. Being stuck in an elevator does this to you.
34* NamelessNarrative: They refer to the pink baby as baby once, otherwise they never directly address someone.
35* NoNameGiven: As mentioned above, we never hear their [[http://i.imgur.com/MlPm8Rg.gif names.]]
36* OpaqueNerdGlasses: The blue one has this, you can't see his eyes despite the fact that his eyes should be taller than his glasses. Best example of it is [[http://i.imgur.com/wA81VWz.gif here.]]
37* {{Parody}}: There's a [[Series/DoctorWho 'the Doctor']] who comes and goes in various incarnations from time to time. Later Irrelevator also has an arc where historic personalities wake up in the elevator and are parodied.
38* ThePerfectionist: As seen in comic 3, the blue stickman counts every second of being stuck in the elevator and freaks out when he loses count; "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!"
39* ResurrectiveImmortality: The characters die sometimes, but not for long.
40* ScaryShinyGlasses: [[http://i.imgur.com/wA81VWz.gif The more you're plotting, the more your glasses shine.]]
41* ShoutOut: To ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' in [[http://i.imgur.com/r1qNHRz.gif comic 26.]]
42* SillyWalk: Seen [[http://i.imgur.com/ljTwR26.gif here.]]
43* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: The blue character has this as his only physical trait, apart from being blue, says alot about his character.
44* StickFigureAnimation: Often the stickmen themselves aren't animated, but every comic has animation and stickmen are always featured and sometimes they move more than usual.
45* StickFigureComic: They are stickfigures, they're in a comic.
46* UnexplainedRecovery They die and come back, often directly lampshaded.
47--> Repeatedly coming back to life seems kind of unrealistic, don't you think?
