Though in the former's case Starscream wants revenge on him for seemingly abandoning the Decepticons, making his case more justified.

- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Ed exposing several members of the Cul-De-Sac police department of inner corruption is what gets him fired from the force.
- Ridley actually giving the other villains the worlds where they get what they wanted instead of disposing of them after defeating the heroes is what causes his downfall, as one of the villains, Wario, betrays him since he found his idealized world too boring and give the Time Stone the heroes needed to stop Ridley from enacting his revenge on the heroes.

- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Most of the winners deliver one to Ridley after they foil Ridley’s plan, frustrating him to no end:
- Ridley: "You guys are like cockroaches. Every time it looks like I've killed you or brought you to your lowest, you come again! What do you assholes have to cling to?!"
Ed: "The Power of Friendship!"
Legoshi: "I know that sounds cheesy...But yeah. I feel sorry for you, Ridley. Somebody like you who's only satisfied by how many lives he can destroy."
Cy: "At least I conquered something. You’re just a pathetic psychopath, yes."
Shockwave: "You're only driven by your basest instincts. The lack of ambition beyond that is illogical as it is distasteful. You will pay for wasting my time."
Tigress: "Your technique must be lacking if you have to rely on trinkets to defeat anybody these days."
Judy: "I think shoving you into a cell would be better than killing you. You honestly don't deserve the courtesy."
Megatron: "To think you nearly brought me low...I promise you. The same luck won’t happen again. For I am Megatron...and you are target practice."
Bardin: "And you're just a plain wannabe slaan cunt."

- Secret Test of Character: To unlock the Soul Stone's power in the Soul realm, Legoshi and Ed must each face a trial if they are to unlock it: For Legoshi, he has to kill all the small animals when he's dealt with a sudden extreme bout of hunger. And for Ed, he finds himself in a storage area filled with everything he can enjoy with a 100% sale...while looking at some hungry orphans outside the storage's window who have nothing fun to do. They pass when Legoshi refuses to eat them even when faced with overwhelming hunger and Ed gives everything in the storage room to the orphans.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: For Baskerra; after getting her pizza delivery hijacked by Ridley and used as a means to bring the possible end of the multiverse, when she finally receives her pizza at the end of the story, she discovers Wario eating it while she was sending the heroes back to their dimensions.
- Sheathe Your Sword: When Cy realizes the reality where he gets to kill an endless horde of Doomslayers is more of a temptation than anything else, he decides to not fight them, and that’s how he gets kicked out of that reality.
- Shout-Out: Just before Shockwave is picked up by Ed, he's berating Tarantulas for failing to account that superweapons powered by screams alone would have laughter as a proper countermeasure to it.
- Ridley makes himself known to the heroes by shouting "SURPRISE BITCHES! Like the fleas with those with fur in here, I keep coming back!"
- The dialogue just before the first fight with Ridley after Ed shouts that the pizza belongs to the customer is taken from the Spongebob episode Pizza Delivery:Torque: "Who even cares about the customer?!"
Ed: "I do!"
Megatron: "Well I don’t!"
Ed: "’’(gasps)’’ Megatron." - Zodd seemingly stops Ridley by using the gauntlet by digging his claws into his body, only for Ridley to mock him by telling the dragon that he should have aimed for the head before snapping the gauntlet, lampshading how unoriginal it is.
- And when the heroes are considering how to use the Time Stone that Wario and Starscream brought them, Tigress considers trying to stop him from choosing evil, while Bardin considers killing him when he was a baby.
- During the final fight, Ridley gets frustrated with Ed refusing to die, leading to this after he’s launched into an asteroid belt by Ed:
- The Stinger: The story ends with a being known as "The Great Evil" escaping The Void and landing on a beach. This has yet to be followed up on, but it seems to have been forgotten. Recent changes to the story even omit this stinger!
- Sudden Videogame Moment: When Ridley changes reality during the final battle, it turns into a boss fight you’d see in a video game, with them rocking their sprites from their GBA games.
- Take That!: Among the numerous alternate realities that Judy and Cy come across, two of them that are brought up involve a reality called "Big Baby Mode" which was adjusted for game journalists to enjoy, and one where Judy gets involved in something involving abortion and a recreation of the JFK assassination, which the narration calls this reality "unholy".
- Tempting Fate: When Ed decides to become a jawbreaker factory worker, Eddy loves the idea since it means that they have someone on the inside and thinks there’s no way this can go wrong.

- In the first round between the heroes and the villains, when all the villains except for Ridley are about to charge at the heroes, Ridley uses the time stone to freeze them in place, stating that they’ll get their turn.
- Pushed to his limits in the final battle, Ridley stops time so he can easily kill Ed by skewering him with his tail, only for him to No-Sell the time stop and grabs it.

- Walking Shirtless Scene: Just before the final confrontation with Ridley, Ed tears off his shirt.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The story has an epilogue on what each hero did following the events of this story, as well as an status update on each villain that participated.
- With Due Respect: Edd to Ed after the latter decides he wants to get a job:
- Edd: "Ed, with all due respect…you have to have skills, a detailed resume, and a working education to achieve anything close to a fulfilling and well-paying job. You've already flunked high school ten times…somehow!"
- Would Hurt a Child: Even in Cool Cat’s idealized universe, he still feels the need to murder "bullies", as evidenced with the necklace made out of the skulls of children he's wearing when Ridley brings him back to fight the heroes again.
