Narm: The last few chapters of the book crank up the nihilism while throwing in some bizarre predictions of future evolution, leading to unintentional hilarity. To wit: robots eat Mars, giant invisible salamanders roam the Earth, and the descendants of humanity get wiped out by trees with mind-control powers.
One chapter attempts, with complete seriousness, to describe how grass is a sign of how humanity has damaged the planet. Grass.
Squick: Apart from the constant, vivid descriptions of excrement and erections, we also have the rape of a 12-year-old Neanderthal girl.
For the video game
Ho Yay: Some of the Flavor Text in Far Off Promisenote which was also repurposed for the windows in Pannam Town in Worlds has Mag and Chain notice a "gallant young man/handsome boy" and a "real beauty of a girl" respectively looking at them through a window. It's their own reflections. In the case of the "gallant young man", Mag even says "Aw..." once he realizes it.
Polished Port: The game's main characters have better character models based mainly on the second game's character models. However...
Porting Disaster: Not as bad towards the second game port but the problems are really shown in the first. Including things as, levels being reskins of the second game's Bonus Dungeon, less bosses, easier bosses, less Cyframes parts, and Pannam Town being cut down including Chain's mobile and the bar Pepper hangs out at. Not only that, but a number of animations (due to using the majority from Far Off Promise) and outright cutscenes were chopped off the first half.
That One Boss: Yurka can be a really surprising brief Difficulty Spike when first fought. He has blinding attacks that affect 2X3 squares, has an entire party hit skill, and his normal attacks can possibly deplete half health or more. The only attack that doesn't work too much is his health absorption. Making things worse is that, by this point, Linear is no longer in the party, meaning that if you didn't find Pepper's Recovery Blast parts or didn't power them up, you have to rely on items and even worse, Yurka is the only boss in the game where the checkpoint is AFTER him rather than before, meaning that if you don't have an escape incense, you'll have to hike all the way back to the first floor.
Even though he's not longer eternally five levels higher, Eugune can be this depending on what party you take. Attacks that do high damage, a party wide attack, there are not many opportunities to grind during the first half along with the other problems (see Porting Disaster) and your healer is kidnapped meaning you'll primarily be relying on items.
Viewer Gender Confusion: Chain is a girl. Her appearance and -to a lesser extent- the voice acting do not help at all. Even Mag kind of lampshades this in the very beginning.
For the Professional Wrestling stable
Awesome Music: Jim Johnston's "Line in the Sand", interpreted by Motörhead, a mid-tempo piece with introspective lyrics. This being Motörhead, the song sounds as badass and headbang-inducing as anything they did on their own.
Badass Decay: Against The Shield as a whole. Evolution themselves have never been able to handle them in straight brawls, constantly outmaneuvered by them, and tends to rely on having several people help them or jump The Shield first before doing anything. And even that sometimes doesn't work. Throughout the entire storyline, despite what their new creed is, they've failed to actually live up to it… until Hunter launched Plan B and had Seth Rollins turn against his brothers.
Memetic Mutation: "Evolution is your Listerine!", a Mondegreen of "Evilution is a Mystery" from "Line in the Sand" due to Lemmy being the Trope Codifier for Harsh Vocals. This has lead to other variants of this such as "Evolution is a Pissed Marine."
Fanon Discontinuity: Many fans would like to believe that the storyline in which Triple H proclaimed Eugene a member of Evolution never happened. Not only because the very premise of Eugene being a member of Evolution was freaking ridiculous (and Trips indeed only did so clearly as a rib to mess with Eugene), but because this was the beginning of Eugene (who up until then was getting bigger pops that the main-eventers) slowly transitioning to jobber status.
