Darker and Edgier: As the series goes on, it takes darker turns and discusses more mature themes, even with all of the jokes and humor present. Deceit and especially Remus reinforce this. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Thomas and the Sanders Sides travel to a new "Mind Palace" created by Patton and Roman as the new setting for the show. However, in the following episode, they quickly go back to Thomas' apartment and never come back to the Mind Palace, and only one single passing mention is made of it at the beginning of season 2.note In real life, there were technical issues with the sound, mainly an uncomfortable and noticeable echo when characters spoke, that rendered the new location unusable, so the production team decided to revert to the previous location, initially until a new one without technical problems could be found. Ultimately, it would be settled that Thomas' apartment would remain being the main location, even after Thomas moved his production headquarters to a new office in January 2019. The office is used, however, to film visual effects in its green-screen studio. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event In "Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning", Roman holds up his first place cup, Logan takes second, Virgil is uninterested in third, and Patton happily holds a participation ribbon Instead of swearing on regular bibles, Patton swears on a children's bible, Logan on a Steven Hawking novel, and Roman on a VHS of Disney's Pinocchio. In "Are There Healthy Distractions", during a wide-shot of all the Sides, as Roman begins talking Logan reaches for his drink. | |

Flipping the Bird | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_364b9be6 | comment |
Flipping the Bird: Since the arrival of the Dark Sides, it has been becoming a common occurrence, and not only performed by the Dark Sides themselves. All of the times it is censored with black bars, though. Deceit briefly appears in "Why Do We Get Out Of Bed in the Morning?" and does this as Thomas kicks him out. Roman, who controls Thomas' left arm, forces Thomas to give one to Logan in the courtoom, and Thomas has to hold his hand with his right arm to stop it. Remus, while impersonating Joan, uses a chopped hand to do the gesture, and Thomas remarks that that is something Joan would do. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: The "Moving On" two-parter (but especially Part 2) is significantly more emotional and somber than most other videos in the series, mostly due to the plot revolving around a devastating event in Thomas' life. | |

Dreamland: In the show, it is called with several names: Dream scenarios, the Mind Palace, Dream Spaces, or the Sides' rooms. In all cases it is an alternate dimension made up from Thomas' dreams and fantasy where he and the Sides retreat to reproduce different situations to deal with Thomas' issues. | |

Lotus-Eater Machine: The Sides' rooms have a startling potential for this. The longer they're in Virgil's room, the more anxious and hysterical Roman, Logan, and Patton all become. In Patton's room, everyone but Logan succumbs to the siren song of the nostalgia it inspires, at least initially. Thomas even says he doesn't know why Patton would want to leave. | |

| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_5f3bb274 | comment |
Late-Arrival Spoiler: There are a few facts on the story that now are basic common knowledge but that were the main story arcs at the time and constitute spoilers for anyone who doesn't know anything about the show. The Sanders Sides have names, they were revealed one by one during season 1, and now everybody uses them, in and out of universe. Despite being an important plot twist at the end of season one, now everybody knows there are other Sides apart from the four main Sides and they're known as the Dark Sides. Only the exact amount of them is to be known yet as well as their real names, but both Deceit and Remus are at this point as common knowledge as the core main Sides. | |

| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_688afa6a | comment |
Evil Aunt: Thomas has in most of his works, the Vines, Shorts and even "Sanders Sides", an aunt named Patty. She appears or is mentioned from time to time. Though probably not evil herself, she is a symbol of evil, as she is always related to ominous, unpleasant or unsettling circumstances happening to Thomas, whether directly or in a jinxy way. | |

Vlog Series | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_79eea6ca | comment |
Vlog Series: The show is structured as if it was a vlog where Thomas tries to talk about any issue in his life and is interrupted by the Sanders Sides or he calls them. This structure was inherited from the real life vlogs real-life Thomas used to do between 2014 and 2016, which ended up evolving into Sanders Sides by slowly incorporating the fictional elements and turning real-life Thomas Sanders into fictional-character Thomas Sanders. Some episodes, in particular the installments formerly known as Sanders Asides, avert this trope by showing Thomas in his daily life with camera angles and editing typical of a proper fictional show, avoiding the breaking of the fourth wall that usually happens in normal episodes. | |

Teleportation | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_961c30e5 | comment |
Teleportation: All the Sides engage in this when they enter or leave Thomas' apartment. Most of them rise up from the bottom of the screen when they enter, and sink down when they leave. Virgil and Deceit's method of entry is to simply appear in their place, usually surprising everyone who isn't used to it, though they leave like everybody else. Thomas only uses this method of teleportation when entering or getting out of one of the Sides' rooms. The one time Virgil did emerge like everyone else, when he came out of Patton's room back to the apartment, he felt dizzy and light headed, and asked how everyone else did it every episode. Other forms of teleportation include Thomas traveling into his mind to Lilly Singh's apartment, with the help of Roman, and also the different trips he and the Sides take to the Mind Palace or its theater, the Dream Spaces or the Sides' rooms. | |

Foreshadowing: Are you all caught up? Good! Now re-watch the series from the beginning, and this time take note every time a Side says something about lying (especially if the Side in question is Virgil) or every time one of the Sides claps a hand over his own mouth. On Roman's family tree a line stretches out from the side of his portrait implying Roman has a sibling. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |

Canon Discontinuity: In "The Dark Side of Disney", Virgil rises up like the other Sides instead of just appearing, and he is not affected at all. In "Moving On: Part 2", Virgil rises up when returning from Patton's room, and he feels dizzy and lightheaded, remarks he never did rise up before and asks how the others do it in every episode. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: For most of season one, Thomas expresses verbally how he wishes there was some way of getting rid of his anxiety. His wish comes true when Virgil decides to quit as Thomas' anxiety, and this causes unexpected and unwanted side effects on Thomas he hadn't seen coming. | |

The Tag: In every episode of the series, after Thomas says his ending catching phrase, "take it easy, guys, gals and non binary pals, peace out!", there's an additional mini scene featured on the end card alongside the "previous videos" and "featured fander" tags, usually starring the Sides who perform a little comedy skit related to the episode, occasionally featuring an entire extra scene that further advances the plot of the series, and sometimes featuring real-life Thomas Sanders addressing something real-world related about the series to the viewers, like new merch or shoutouts to special guest cast and crew members. | |

Rainbow Motif | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_b69e71fe | comment |
Rainbow Motif: Each Side is associated with a color of the rainbow, with Thomas himself being "full rainbow" and/or white (all colors combined in light). | |

Double Vision | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_b6af057e | comment |
Double Vision: At first, interactions between characters always happened using different shots and building up the conversations during editing. But since the end of season 1, it is becoming more common to use this effect and have two or more characters on the same shot speaking at the same time, sometimes using Split Screen and sometimes using Chroma Key. | |

Faint in Shock: Happens to both Logan and Roman when they receive the news of their respective Crofter's jam flavors. Also happens to Patton in "Embarrassing Phases" when Thomas's "fedora phase" is revealed. | |

Character Focus | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_c1725854 | comment |
Character Focus: Each of the Sides has had at least one episode focused on them. Certain focus episodes have led to a Side revealing his real name; see Given Name Reveal below. There have also been some episodes which focus on the interactions between two particular Sides. Examples include "The Dark Side of Disney" (Roman and Virgil), "The Mind vs. The Heart" (Logan and Patton), "My Negative Thinking" (Logan and Virgil) and "Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning?" (Logan and Roman). Patton and Virgil's father-son relationship has been developed as a background story arc in multiple episodes, although they did not have a specific focus episode just for them. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: During the first half of season one, stories were light and comedic, with self-conclusive episodes. After episode 8, when Joan joined in as co-writer, characters and storylines started to include more dramatic and suspenseful elements, though never leaving comedy as the basis of the series, and long complex story arcs replaced the earlier self-conclusive episodes. | |

BackhandedCompliment | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_d487c864 | comment |
Backhanded Compliment: Virgil is asked to say one nice thing about the others. He responds that Patton makes Logan furious, which is fun to watch even though he is a clueless moron the rest of the time. Logan understands reality better than the others, but he is a clueless moron most of the time. Roman impresses him... by being a clueless moron all of the time. | |

Temporarily a Villain: Downplayed but some videos will have one of the Sides serving as the main source of conflict. Examples include Logan in "Learning New Things About Ourselves" and Patton in "Putting Others First". | |

Small, Secluded World | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_d934b1c7 | comment |
Small, Secluded World: Though not isolated from the outside world, roughly 80% of the onscreen action of the series takes place in the same room, Thomas' living room in his own apartment, and the other 20% usually takes place in settings imagined by Thomas while in reality he still hasn't moved an inch away from his living room. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Sanders Sides (Web Video) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Logan and Virgil have both effectively left in the middle of an episode, Virgil quitting his job as anxiety in Accepting Anxiety and Logan going awol after being ignored in Moving On. Subverted in the fact that as a part of Thomas's mind, quitting either means being present through Thomas yet not physically present (Logan), or removing all influence from his personality (Virgil). | |

Sequel Episode | |

Sequel Episode: "Growing Up" is a sequel to "Way Too Adult". "Why Do We Get Out Of Bed in the Morning?" can be seen as a sequel to "Losing My Motivation". It's even lampshaded by Logan and Thomas early on in the former video. "Putting Others First" is a sequel to "Selfishness v. Selflessness". | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Thomas chooses to do the moral thing and attend his friends' wedding only for them to barely acknowledge him being there, making him believe that going to the callback would've made no negative difference in their life and was in fact the better choice. | |

Running Gag: Patton calling the process of becoming an adult "adultery." Serious people wear neckties. Logan is learning contemporary slang words using flash cards. He doesn't always use them correctly. Logan misused the word "infinitesimal" in one video. Patton doesn't let him forget it. | |
