YMMV / Pastamonsters

• Designated Hero: Nearly everyone in the comic except Lara. Ms. P casually suggests slaughtering the first family they find after they find Smile.
• Follow the Leader: This webcomic has been known for kick-starting the trend of Lighter and Softer comedic Creepypasta comics on DeviantArt throughout the early to mid 2010's. Some of the more popular mentions include Adventures with Jeff the Killer, Creeps and I Eat Pasta For Breakfast. It got to the point where almost everyone started designing Slender Man, Zalgo, Jeff The Killer, Smile Dog, and BEN Drowned after their comic counterparts, even replicating their personalities (Smile was Jeff's pet, BEN was a white ghost kid with stoned red eyes, Slendy was the Only Sane Man Mentor to Jeff, Zalgo was an Evil Overlord, etc.) Others even went further and included Ms. P and mostly Grinny in the canon, and even pairing Grinny and Smile up together.
• Gateway Series: The comic is this for a lot of people who were afraid of Creepypasta.
• Ho Yay: Jeff and BEN in the dubbed versions.
  Jeff: (in his sleep) BEN...a little lower...
  • Later:
  Ms. P: It may be incredibly unstable and probably won't work in the sunlight.
  BEN: Just like Jeff's sex life!
• Ugly Cute:
  • Many people see Grinny and Smile as this.
  • Same for most of the characters, actually.
