* NoOSHACompliance: Let's just say that a Ferris wheel should not be able to spin so fast that it's axle unscrews itself, causing the ride to spin off at high speed, or that the ride's operational lever get stuck, or that the first floor ceiling of Dead End crack that easily.

* FeatheredFiend: The seagull fights Courtney over the popcorn in the second iteration and steals Josh's phone in the third iteration. It pretty much is responsible for many of the problems in about between half to a third of the iterations that we see.

*** Double Subverted when we see the seagull hitting Dead End, causing Gord to get hit in the head and fall out of the attic and knock over some heavy objects, causing the ceiling to crack around the chandelier. [[FallingChandelierOfDoom Later episodes would establish why this is.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: The ending reveals that Pugsley's dream somehow relates to the chandelier in the first floor of Dead End, which has now become unstable due to the ceiling around it cracking.

** Pugsley goes through, according to his count, about five or six hundred times, each with their own problems that each somehow were born from his attempts to help.
** Ironically, in the final iteration, Pugsley not attempting to intervene shows that everything would turn out fine had he simply allowed it to all play out, creating a subversion.



* SealedEvilInACan: Turns out that the box Courtney is fiddling with contains a demon that proceeds to unleash an [[ApocalypseHow apocalypse once released,]] creating a vortex in the sky that proceeds to suck everyone into it in one of the iterations Pugsley goes through.

Added DiffLines:

* DisasterDominoes: Happens in nearly every iteration that Pugsley goes through.
** On the first iteration, Barney arguing with Logs leads to them fighting over the phone, which Barney accidentally hurls into a seagull which then collides into Norma and Badyah's seat, and then crashes into the ride's operation lever, causing it to get stuck and keep Josh from fixing it when it gets rickety.
** On the second iteration: When Pugsley stops the phone from being thrown, the seagull instead fights Courtney over their popcorn and causes Courtney to fall out of the ride.
** Third iteration: Pugsley instead throws Courtney's popcorn at Josh's phone, knocking it out of his hand, preventing him from texting Logs. However, the seagull then proceeds to steal Josh's phone, resulting in a chase where the bird briefly lands on the lever, causing the ride to spin backwards at excessive speed and break off its axle.
** Another has the squad (barring Courtney) all ride in the same seat. Though the seagull lands on the seat as well, going past capacity and breaking the seat off the Ferris wheel.

* JerkassBall: Texting while going on what should be a romantic moment with your boyfriend is a bit of a dickish move on Logs' behalf, especially when Barney is trying to enjoy it with him and Logs is ignoring him.

!!Tropes:
* AnAesop: Don't always fret about the future. You never know what's going to happen, and sometimes its best to let things play out and hope they turn out for the best.
* BadFuture: At one point, Pugsley travels too far into the future and sees Phoenix Parks having turned into an apocalyptic wasteland. Also, the numerous bad endings he generates trying to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.
* BittersweetEnding: Pugsley ends up not interfering at all on the final iteration of the time loop and it produces the best results, with Barney and Logs clearing up their issues. Sadly for Norma, Badyah turns her down, though the latter [[BetterAsFriends still hopes they can still be friends and do the podcast together.]] Though Norma tries to appear fine about it, her tearful expression shows that [[LoveHurts she is hurting over it.]]
* IncompatibleOrientation: Though Badyah makes clear that she is flattered, she lets Norma down, telling her that she is straight.
* MistakenForCheating: Barney assumes that Logs is cheating on him with Josh when he sneaks a peak at Logs' phone while they are riding the Ferris wheel together.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Logs doesn't tell Barney what's bothering him with regards to what he's looking at on his phone. When Barney, irritated with Logs not trying to enjoy their time together, takes a peek a Logs' phone, sees that Logs is texting Josh and [[MistakenForCheating assumes that Logs is cheating on him with Josh.]] On the final iteration of the loop, he reveals that he was irritated with Josh over getting an acting job over him.
* SealedEvilInACan: Turns out that the box Courtney is fiddling with contains a demon that proceeds to unleash an [[ApocalypseHow apocalypse once released,]] creating a vortex in the sky that proceeds to suck everyone into it in one of the iterations Pugsley goes through.
* TheLastStraw: In one of the iterations of the loop, Badyah, Logs, Norma, Barney, and Pugsley are all riding in the same seat in the Ferris wheel. When the seagull then perches on the seat, it ends up breaking off the wheel and crashes to the ground.
* TimeTravel: Pugsley learns to do this to try to prevent the future from playing out horribly as seen from his dream.
