History Recap / LittleDemonS01E04PopularityOriginOfEvil

* {{Expy}}: Slimm Timm is a HumanoidAbomination that originates from a creepypasta where he hunts down vulnerable girls in the woods. He's even called a "slender man" by an online personality. Arabella has Chrissy summon him to the corporeal plane to try and "cancel" him for it. The fact that the other girls try to sacrifice Chrissy to summon him is also disturbingly similar to a real life incident where two teenage girls did the same thing, coming dangerously close to killing a third girl in Slenderman's name.

* BaitAndSwitch: At first it seems that Arabella's group are intending on sacrificing Chrissy to a SlenderManStandIn. In reality, they needed her help in summoning him so that they could "cancel" him for the misogynistic implications of his creepypasta.

* SlenderManStandIn: Slimm Timm is a HumanoidAbomination that originates from a creepypasta where he hunts down vulnerable girls in the woods.

* TooDumbToLive: Arabella and her crew recruit ''TheAntiChrist'' to summon a SlenderManStandIn famous for hunting and killing young women like themselves just to ''shame'' him. They should count themselves lucky that Chrissy and Laura were willing to save them, but they then decide to shun the both of them because they had to use violence to banish him.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Chrissy, who moved around constantly, was finally happy to have more friends her own age, especially female friends. Thus when Arabella and her crew asked her to join them, Chrissy was ecstatic, even if to the point she started to ignore Bennigan. When a despondent Chrissy says all this (unknowingly) to teen!Laura, the latter ends up feeling quite bad about how her constant moving affected her daughter.
--> '''Laura:''' (''gulity'') I really am a fuckin' hag...
* ShoutOut: In the body of a roadkill-armadillo, Satan manages to (partially) control Benniga by tugging at his hair under his hat, not unlike Remy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}''.

They should count themselves lucky that Chrissy and Laura where willing to save them, but they then decide to shun the both of them because they had to use violence to banish him.

* AlphaBitch: Arabella and her crew have all of the bells and whistles of a [[Film/MeanGirls Plastics-esq]] High School clique, being a entitled, super-popular girl group that catches an interest in Chrissy and makes her popular (and by extension, a bit of a bitch) because they see her powers as useful. In a Gen-Z twist, they are also [=SJWs=] who claim to be activists against things like Western hegemony, fast-fashion and micro-aggressions, summoning a Slenderman-esq monster just to "cancel" him to his face.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Laura attempts to do an inversion of this trope; since Slimm Timm is powered by people's belief in him, she thinks that all she needs to do is say "I don't believe" on repeat to weaken him. It doesn't work until Chrissy reminds her that the one way to get rid of him is using the object that summoned him.

* AdultsDressedAsChildren: Using a youth-siphoning spell, Laura infiltrates Chrissy's school to figure out why she took one of her summoning tools. While Chrissy never realizes that the new-girl is actually her mother, her use of 90's slang and lack of social consciousness that's so commonplace in Zoomers immediately alienates her to the entire school.

* WrongGenreSavvy: The Devil seems to think that all of the sex-crazed hijinks one would find in High School Comedies that were so prevalent in the 80's and 90's would work to make Bennigan. All it does is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome get an innocent teacher falsely arrested for statutory rape]] and make everyone afraid to be near Bennigan for it.
