* DisproportionateRetribution: Victor's plan to break up Bizaardvark in both "The Collab" and "In Your Space!", for no reason other than to get the funniest channel on Vuugle, but at the same time, destroy Paige and Frankie's friendship.

** At the end of TheTeaser for "Frankie and Amelia's Fun Friend Weekend", this is Frankie and Paige's last line in the "Flying Shoes" video upon hearing they can't return their flying shoes without the receipt.



* DescentIntoDarknessSong: "If I Had a Dog" from "The BFF (Before Frankie Friend)" starts out with a sense of excitement as Frankie and Paige voice their thoughts over adopting a dog; the mood gradually becomes more annoyed and disgruntled as they voice the consequences of having such. By the final verse, the song has become quiet and melancholy.



* LyricalDissonance: The music video "Oops, Wrong Emoji". The melody is bouncy and upbeat when the mood and message of the song itself are about resulting in various disasters.



* ShoutOut: Dirk does a [[Series/KamenRiderSkyrider Rider Break]] in "Control + Alt + Escape!", as part of a dare-off against Dare Me Girl to see who would rescue Paige, Frankie, and Amelia first.

* ComedicWorkSeriousScene: Season 2 Episode 2 is about Frankie not getting much time in with her father, who is a doctor. She actually breaks down crying in the end, and her and her dad have to talk things out. And on Episode 1 of the same season, her friend Paige easily integrates into the high school scene, but she doesn't. Paige didn't even realize that Frankie was the odd one out. Frankie had to tell her. She got her hair stuck in her locker twice and struggled to open it back. No one helped her. People stared blankly at her jokes but cracked up at Paige's, and when she spilled her lunch in the cafeteria, again, no one offered to help her. She recieved blank stares again. This episode was mimicing the Real Life abandonment that someone can feel when going to a new school with old friends. (Her other friends were not present to help her either.)
