Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Most of the map consists of invisible tiles that will only become visible when you step on them, and if you step outside a tile, you fall down and are sent to the start. There is no way to discern the location of safe tiles to step on.

Bird People: Simon from "What is the COTN Incident?" is a rather warped example, being a humanoid birdlike thing that appears to be solid red in color and devoid of feathers. Bonkie and Prucas, he two cartoon guys advertising Bramble Bor in "Have You Ever Seen a Cow" also qualify, albeit as more comedic variants.

Analog Horror: Although the series is not quite aligned with the genre, it is the closest fit as far as comparisons go — a grainy old footage of something that looks rather innocent at the beginning, but steadily grows more disturbing and sad, also employing many of the tropes listed in the genre entry.

Guide Dang It!: Since the tiles you need to step on to progress to each area are invisible, and falling down takes you back to the start, you will end up needing a walkthrough to avoid spending hours figuring out the Trial-and-Error Gameplay. Thankfully, the subreddit has compiled one.

Crosscast Role: Agatha's mother is played by a male. Or, at least, dubbed. note Such a form of voiceover as is exhibited by Agatha's mother is commonly used in TV reportages to obscure the voice of the interviewed person to ensure her anonymity.

Happiness in Slavery: Agatha's final monologue has shades of it. She is grateful for having her eyes removed and ears glued shut so she won't see or hear the world's filthiness. This may be a metaphor for her being sheltered by her mother.

Aerith and Bob: Hatshepsut of Bytom; Hatshepsut is a female pharaoh's name and Bytom is a middle-sized Polish city. She fails to solve a riddle where the answer was “Zbigniew the dog” (Zbigniew being a perfectly normal, if slightly old-fashioned, Polish male name — but definitely not a typical dog name). note "Hatshepsut of Bytom" would indeed be a rare mix for an actual person, but quite typical for a pseudonymous call to the letters-to-the-editor section of a youth magazine in the implied time period.

Mind Screw: The COTN Incident was an incident that occurred when a single frame from a fast food commercial was broadcast as part of a signal endurance test, only for the frame to show a strange birdlike creature — nicknamed "Simon" — walking into frame and biting into the burger (which promptly grew a second instance of him). Thing is, it was a single frame, so nothing should be moving at all… "Have You Ever Seen a Cow?" is this in its entirety.
