* KickTheDog: Nancy asks Joe about his opinion on ''Film/DragonballEvolution'', remarking how she thinks it's better than [[Manga/DragonBall the anime that it is based on]]. Considering that movie was universally fan (by both fans of the anime and casual movie-goers) and she knows exactly who Joe is, she was clearly just trying to rub salt in his wounds.

Added DiffLines:
* AlmostKiss: Parodied. Since "The Beach Episode" is set in Prestige TV City, an almost kiss happens during a tense scene, but it is obviously forced melodrama.
Added DiffLines:
* InterfaceScrew: After the cold open of "The Beach Episode", the show's regular intro is overlaid with a "Skip Intro" button, reminiscent of the one used on Creator/{{Netflix}}. After the show's title is shown, the button is automatically clicked, and the video cuts ahead to the end of the intro.
Added DiffLines:
* TheOner: Discussed as a prestige TV hallmark in the fight scene in "The Beach Episode". Naturally, the fight scene features Joe taking out dozens of armed cultists in close quarters while attempting to escape a building.

A festering darkness lies beneath Prestige TV City and the detectives try to uncover the city's shocking truth.

!!"The Beach Episode" provides examples of:
* AnimationAgeGhetto: Nancy InUniverse believes this about anime, thinking of it as "childish" and that Joe is becoming an adult by moving to prestige TV City.
* BeachEpisode: As the title implies, the episode is a play on the typical anime Beach Episode, the various tropes slowly shifting from anime to live-action drama cliches over the course of the episode.
* EvilAllAlong: Joe and Diesel discover that Chief Brody and Nancy were members of TOXIC the whole time.
* ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: The episode forgoes its usual TitleSequence in-favor of a TitleOnlyOpening, an off-screen viewer pressing "Skip Intro" not unlike a Creator/{{Netflix}} original.
* FisherKingdom: The longer Joe and Diesel stay in Prestige TV City, the more they start to adhere to American live-action drama rules, most notably their BelligerentSexualTension.
* HallwayFight: Joe ends up having one against TOXIC troops when he and Diesel are found out.
* KickTheDog: Nancy asks Joe about his opinion on ''Film/DragonballEvolution'', remarking how she thinks it's better than [[Anime/DragonBall the anime that it is based on]]. Considering that movie was universally fan (by both fans of the anime and casual movie-goers) and she knows exactly who Joe is, she was clearly just trying to rub salt in his wounds.

--> '''Diesel''': What if we don't get a third season?\\
'''Joe''': ...fall?
* RuleOfSymbolism: While the setting is a play on the BeachEpisode trope, beaches are considered a medium between worlds, this being the first place Joe and Diesel encounter in Prestige TV City and the tropes shift from anime to live-action drama over the course of the episode. This can also be seen in Diesel's Digimon crest necklace, [[FreezeFrameBonus the symbol shifting between "Friendship" and "Love" between shots]] as a sign of their WillTheyOrWontThey status.
* SpeakOfTheDevil: When Joe mentions his interview with the housing board, incomes Nancy Prestige to lampshade it.
--> '''Nancy Prestige''': Now that sounds like a setup for a new character to enter the scene. We love that around here.
* TakeThat:
** Nancy compares Diesel to ''Series/{{Lost}}''; so promising, then then "she got up in her head and forgot everything that made her interesting."
** Joe pretends to like ''Series/GameOfThrones'', trying to convince Nancy that he doesn't find its [[FourLinesAllWaiting protracted storylines]] "tiresome."
** Joe summarizes the genre ''Series/MadMen'' and ''Series/BreakingBad'' belong to as "shows about grown men getting away with terrible behavior." Nancy (who's a bad guy) says that it's her favorite genre.
** When Joe vomits when keeping his opinion of ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' to himself, a waiter remarks that he must have seen the latest season of ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''.
** "Give it a chance! It gets really good after the first two seasons!" is a motto in Prestige TV City.
** Joe summarizes TOXIC's EvilPlan as anyone that TOXIC considers a "fake anime-fan" will have nothing left by ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
** Joe found ''Series/TheWire'' boring.
* {{Troperiffic}}: The entire episode involves the establishment of "prestige television" tropes and cliches, including one-shot {{Hallway Fight}}s, [[SpeakOfTheDevil introduction character setups]] and BelligerentSexualTension. Since self-aware American media does a lot more LampshadeHanging than Japanese media, this happens ''a lot''.
* WhamEpisode: Diesel's mother is Nancy Prestige, leader of Prestige TV City's housing board and leader of TOXIC.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: A lot of Joe and Diesel's interactions come off as BelligerentSexualTension. When Nancy asks what he intends with Diesel, the both of them trip over themselves trying to convince her that they're only friends, [[LampshadeHanging leading to Nancy checking his Relationship Status as "Will They/Won't They"]].
