* [[Let's Play]]: A few on Youtube. One notable example is [[Northernlion]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5PLC6nmOO4 Here's] the first episode. Watch as he goes from complete newbie to expert over the course of 90+ videos!

** This ultimately culminates in an episode with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2cN4DkEQEE co-commentary] by [[Word of God|Edmund McMillen]]

⚫

* [[~~Living~~ ~~Apart~~]]: In later levels, brain enemies are encountered that are just living brains. There are also rolling guts in the later levels.

* [[Losing Your Head]]:

** Some of the enemies can attack the player even after losing their body or head or they just get separated.

Line 177:

* [[Palette Swap]]: Enemies with a different color palette. They're stronger but drop items upon death.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: It's ''heavily'' implied that the unlockable characters are just Isaac wearing these.

* [[Pieces of People]]: In later levels, brain enemies are encountered that are just living brains. There are also rolling guts in the later levels.

* [[Potty Failure]]: The item "Lemon Mishap" allows you to lay down a puddle of pee that damages. Also, certain pills will give you bad gas or literally explosive diarrhea. There's also the boss monster Peep, who uses urine as his main weapon.

** [[Critical Annoyance]]: Isaac leaves puddles of urine every room he enters when he is down to his last hit point.

* [[Purposefully Overpowered]]: The ''Wrath of the Lamb'' expansion adds a lot of incredibly powerful new items and effects that would be extremely abusive on the vanilla version of the game;<ref>Some of them, for example, combine the effects of two already powerful pick-ups, in a single item!</ref> you'll need every one of them if you want chance to ''survive'' (not win, just '''survive'''!) [[Malevolent Architecture|the h]][[Demonic Spiders|orrors]] you'll find on the [[Nintendo Hard|new floors]].

* [[Power-Up Letdown]]:

** The cat item. You have eight extra lives, yes. You also have your health bar reduced to one heart (and any health bar increases you find vanish on respawn), and if you die you respawn outside (with your secondary item still used up if you used it and any Faith Hearts still gone) and enemies fully heal. So good luck beating any bosses you couldn't kill on the first try. And those eight extra lives are going to need to last you the entire rest of the game.

Line 190:

* [[The Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|The Polaroid}}, a picture of {{spoiler|what seems to be Isaac and family}}, shields Isaac on his last hit point and instantly kills Mom and {{spoiler|Mom's Heart/It Lives}} upon being brought to the battle. Originally, it defeated {{spoiler|Satan}} too, but this may have been a bug.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Several bosses give this impression due to the goofy, yet deranged smiles they make when attacking.

* [[Random Event]]: The Curses introduced in ''Wrath of the Lamb'', which are randomly activated at the beginning of a level. Curse of Darkness [[Interface Screw|makes the map useless]], while Curse of the Lost increases the size of a floor from what it would normally be. Curse of the Labyrinth combines two floors of the same tier - including two item rooms and [[Boss Rush|two bosses]].

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]
