Line 5:
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]] - And then hops back and forth over the line some more just for the hell of it before firing a bowel disruptor into the air indiscriminately.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - The Chair Leg of Truth.
{{quote| '''''IT. DOES. NOT. LIE!'''''}}
* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]] - Like so many things in the series it [[Crosses the Line Twice]]:
{{quote| '''Spider:''' Hi. I'm Spider Jerusalem. I smoke. I take drugs. I drink. I wash every six weeks. I masturbate constantly and fling my steaming poison semen down from my window into your hair and food. I'm a rich and respected columnist for a major metropolitan newspaper. I live with two beautiful women in the city's most expensive and select community. Being a bastard '''works.'''<br />
'''[[Public Service Announcement|The City Careers Service.]]''' [[Public Service Announcement|Call us now. No matter how much of a fuck you are.]] }}
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] - Near the beginning, Spider gets a faceful of Information Pollen in a futurist "reservation". He complains that it causes an Alzheimer's-like effect and asks, "Did you just ruin my brain, you weird-looking fucker?" Near the end, {{spoiler|the I-pollen really ''does''.}}
Line 14:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Remember Fred Christ? Wannabee alien-love-god and all around waste of space? Turns out he shares a name with [[wikipedia:Fred Trump|Donald Trump's father]].
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Spider. His reaction to {{spoiler|Vita Severn's murder}} is heartbreaking, and whenever he's not being completely insane, you can't help but feel bad for him.
{{quote| ''"Sometimes I want to be someone else so badly it hurts."''}}
* [[Misaimed Fandom]] - Ellis has repeatedly said that Spider is not a role model to be emulated. And yet...
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Vita Severn's murder.}}
Line 22:
* [[Squick]] - Yelena drinking the bottle of tequila on election night. Rather than a worm it has a ''cockroach'' in it and we're treated to an extreme close-up of her slowly ''[[Nausea Fuel|biting it in half!]]''
* [[Tear Jerker]] - A story Spider tells in an interview about a young woman and her brother. It's agonizing.
{{quote| '''Spider:''' {{spoiler|He systematically sexually abused her over a two-year period and she missed him because he was her brother and she loved him.}}}}
*** {{spoiler|The picture for the above shot? A close-up of the girl's slashed wrists.}}
** {{spoiler|Vita's death.}} Spider's reaction shot is ''crushing''. We've seen him angry, excited, confused... it's the first time we've seen him ''horrified''.
