Line 31:
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Leaf-Chan translates it as "The Significance of Grief." He's one character off<ref>It should have been Kanashi'''mi'''.</ref> — it actually means "The Meaning of Sad."
* [[The Grunting Orgasm]]: Jeff, while popping one off the wrist in the Masaki bathroom.
*
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: {{spoiler|Sasami}}.
*
* [[It Got Worse]]
* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: Jeff.
*
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Jeff, eventually.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: {{spoiler|Jeff, after leading the gang to Sasami's corpse.}}
*
*
* [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places]]: Jeff has {{spoiler|Sasami}} in the Masaki backyard.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Zigzagged earlier on: Jeff is quite aware that he's in a cartoon and attempts to convince the cast such, to no avail.
Line 52:
* [[Oh Crap]]: Jeff, when he's {{spoiler|raped and killed Sasami and realizes the rest of the cast are about to descend on him.}}
* [[Otaku]]: Jeff

* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: Washu, booting up her machine.

Line 62:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Sasami:'''}} "I—hate ...you."}}
* [[Reality Warper]]: Washu's Reality Distortion Transportation Thingamabob.
*
* [[Sex Equals Love]]: Jeff's rational mind is aware that this isn't true.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Multiple, ranging from [[Title Drop]]ping to subtle ones. In particular, a reference is made to a character in Nabokov's ''[[Lolita]]'', and a scene is reminiscent of a similar one in [[Edgar Allan Poe|"The Tell-Tale Heart"]].
Line 75:
* [[Translation Convention]]: Invoked in-universe.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Jeff, by the end.
*
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: [[In-Universe]]:
{{quote|He'd crossed the threshold, in more ways than one; beyond a physical concept, it was a blatant metaphor for what he was about to attempt...}}
* [[With Catlike Tread]]: Enforced via creaky floorboard, but it still succeeds.
*
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Also Jeff.
* [[Word Salad Title]]: Both the actual title (lit. "The Meaning of Sad") and its supposed translation, "The Significance of Grief".
* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: Jeff is essentially perceiving {{spoiler|Sasami's inherent beauty.}}
