Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer presents the series as straight horror, when in reality, it's more of a horror-comedy Mind Screw ...thing. It also made it look like there was some underlying plot to the whole thing (there isn't). | |

Public Domain Soundtrack: Almost all the background music in the show is classical pieces from the Romantic Era. It just makes the whole thing even more unsettling, honestly. The show's title theme is itself an excerpt of "Suspension" by Lotic, while the ending theme uses variations on the ballad "Long Lankin". | |

Half the Man He Used to Be: A comedic and extremely weird example in "The Diff" when a geek is split in half vertically, one half being a macho alpha while the other retains his original meek demeanor, and the two go on to live their own lives, both utterly paranoid that the other half is having a better life. They eventually find peace within Eban's cross-eyed gaze that makes it look like they're together again in his vision. | |

Overly-Long Gag: In "Constadeath", A man has a condition in which he dies (and reincarnates with an animal's head) every few seconds. During a conversation with his wife, she demands to speak to her real husband. He obliges by forcefully reincarnating until he becomes human again. Unfornately, this isn't enough time, so he does it again and again, each bit of the conversation only a few seconds. | |

Mood Whiplash: The pilot episode is far from the balls-to-the-wall horror insanity that are the episodes that follow it, but even in its own weird flux state of weirdness, its ending is surprisingly poignant. The culmination of the final skit is a confusingly heartwarming story of true love accompanied by a crescendoing orchestra. It's almost a invokedTear Jerker. | |

Irony: The mad scientist is unable to manipulate the flap of a butterfly's wing to find true love, but the Butterfly Man (a hollowed-out corpse filled with butterflies) he creates for the butterflies to infiltrate Bali (stay with us here) finds true love with a woman who also turns out to be a hollowed-out corpse, filled with bees. The episode ends with the "moral" that "the true nature of the Universe is chaos, and is beautiful, and must never be defiled again." | |

Couch Gag | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_c4d09d24 | comment |
Couch Gag: Often of the not so pleasant variety. Every episode (except for "Tow and Shell") has a variation of the title card in which something often happens to the mask that serves as the symbol of the series, ranging from turning into a cross-shaped steak to giving birth to a miniature version of itself. This even occurs at the end of the intro of "Nesslessness" where the pile of guts and gore that the girl finds herself buried under takes the form of the mask. | |

Connected All Along: Each episode usually tells three-to-four stories that seemingly have no significance from one another. Then the last two minutes of the episode usually have these plots combine in some way. A particularly brilliant example is in "Nesslessness", where it was revealed that the woman from the Cold Opening, the mother's baby in the first story, and the woman trapped in the car wreckage in the last one, were all from the same person at different periods in her life. | |

Healthy in Heaven | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_e4bf37d8 | comment |
Healthy in Heaven: Exaggerated in one story where people who die while in a new faith of worshipping a man's incredibly muscled body go to a heaven where they're all basically bodybuilders. | |

Weight Woe | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_e7ecdeb0 | comment |
Weight Woe: The woman in "Nesslessness" is so insecure about her weight that she only ate celery and ended up weighing negative pounds. The reason for her weight insecurity is possibly because her mom was fattening her up to eat her as part of a deal with Satan | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: A woman trying to give a homeless woman a sandwich gets sent to Hell because it had mayo on it. Thankfully the woman is able to out-gambit the demon and gets out alive (but eventually at the cost of her child becoming a corn-on-a-cob as a result of her keeping up a charade of wanting to eat her child to keep the demon away). | |

Why Won't You Die? | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_ecac4c42 | comment |
Why Won't You Die?: A suicide hotline worker tells the story of a man who begins writing a suicide note to end all suicide notes. This eventually gains the attention of the media and the man becomes an overnight sensation. Once the letter is finally written, he holds off on finally doing the deed until the reviews come in. While the note is a success, fans turn on him because he never fulfilled the promise of killing himself and the note becomes yet another book on the shelf. In retaliation, the man wills himself to never die. | |

Match Cut | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_ed503b22 | comment |
Match Cut: Often used to link otherwise unrelated scenes together. A particularly horrific example happens in “The Nurple Rainbow”,where Dougie wakes from a dream where his mirror cracks, only for his face to be cracked in the exact same way. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: When it is discovered that prayer works, people the world over hold those who have faith hostage and force them to pray their demands into reality. Those demands are usually different types of sandwich orders, and the usage of the prayer as a flying taxi. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| The Shivering Truth / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: In "Constadeath," Benny rejects the reincarnation contract offered to him in the face of his impending death and, poetically, gets to keep on living and puts the soul of the executed African slave from the intro to rest. The second story in "Beast of Both Worlds" has a husband and wife's marriage being plagued by a machine that tells them whether or not they have true love for one another. In the end, rather than trying to force true love out of each other, they break the machine and lovingly embrace. | |
