* {{Hypocrite}}: In "Luigi's Lament", Bowser states he doesn't like Luigi's song because it's depressing, even though it's all about how Luigi was tricked into allowing Bowser to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom and enslave everyone, with Bowser being the primary reason for all the sadness.

* OnlySaneMan: The Lamb and their partner share this role in "Cult of the Lamb: Doom and Shroom". The Lamb constantly gets annoyed by his followers' stupidity and inability to do anything for themselves. Meanwhile, the Lamb's partner is wise enough to tell them about the Wild Mushrooms and avoids eating the soup that caused the followers to go beserk.

* BreakTheCutie: Amy, throughout the "There's Something About Amy" series. She tries to get Sonic's affections with Tails' help; but unfortunately, Tails is actively making her attempts worse than before. Ultimately, he comes to the conclusion that Amy has to "change" in order to be with Sonic. When Sonic doesn't fall for her, she [[spoiler: goes crazy and [[IfICantHaveYou kills him in a blind rage]]]]. She snaps out of it once the deed is done, but this only makes things worse. [[spoiler:Tails]] drives the nail in further by telling Amy that Sonic really did love her from the start, but couldn't act on it due to being afraid of his feelings.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After Bob threatens to scrap the miffed machines if they mention his past, Lofty joined the machines and he was very miffed at Bob, too. Lofty even knocked out Bob with his hook before the latter could make a phone call to the scrapyard to get rid of the machines.

* KarmaHoudini: In "Fire Man Sam: Spitting Fire", Fireman Sam set the whole town on fire and got away with it, however, in the end, he sees all the damage he did and gives the audience an [[OhCrap worried expression]].

* NoodleIncident: While trying to counsel Bob, Roley tried to mention that Bob took it hard when Wendy ran away with Farmer Pickles, though it wasn't Bob's fault and it wasn't never explained why that happened to due [[BerserkButton Bob]] [[BreakTheCutie snapping at Roley]] for saying their names.

* GenderNeutralWriting: As in the proper game, "Cult of the Lamb: Doom & Shroom" refers to everybody with gender neutral pronouns. However, the Lamb explicitly refers to Tobias as their husband.

* AdaptationDistillation: "Cult of the Lamb: Doom & Shroom" messes around with how mushrooms work. In the video, the Lamb's spouse refers to them as "wild mushrooms" while in-game they're called Menticide Mushrooms. The Lamb makes them into a soup, which isn't possible in-game as Menticide Mushrooms can only be given to Sozo or used in the Brainwashing Ritual. When brainwashed, the followers start attacking everything with iconography of the Lamb, including the Lamb themself, while the Brainwashing Ritual does the exact opposite and locks their faith for a few days. The attack the Lamb uses at the end is a Sacrifice, but they use it on the entire cult while in-game you can only sacrifice one follower at a time. Finally, the Lamb had a husband who died during their crusade and marries another follower onscreen, but also declares a fight pit match. At the time of the video's release, it was impossible to have both the Marriage and Fight Pit doctrines at the same time, although the Relics of the Old Faith update would allow the player to enable the doctrines they are locked out of.

** Unintentionally or not, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3rHfitPj28 Sonic the Hedgehog: Time Trouble]]'' deconstructs a common StockParodyJoke that was especially popular around the time ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' was announced: the "Classic" version of Sonic learning from his current "Modern" self [[TakeThat that the quality of his games have fallen over the years and that Mario beat him in the console wars]]. Whereas most of these jokes would typically end with something like Classic Sonic [[https://www.deviantart.com/dj-professah-k/art/Sonic-Generations-255967816 not taking it well]] or [[https://www.nerfnow.com/comic/498 Modern Sonic preparing to soften the blow]], ''Time Trouble'' extends and examines this joke further. While the "current" Sonic (a pastiche of his "Modern" and "[[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom Boom]]" selves) ''does'' initially warn his Classic self [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong to not do any]] 3D games, this only leads to even ''more'' unsavory timelines being created: underfunded, glitchy, freemium, MerchandiseDriven, sex toy and RuleThirtyFour Sonics equally struggling to survive in the entertainment industry. At the same time, another Sonic from the future insists that the ''lack'' of 3D ''Sonic'' games was what caused the Saturn to fail, which isn't entirely false given how adamant a focus the industry had on 3D at that time. A possible message to take from this animation, if any, is that as unsatisfying as Sonic's AudienceAlienatingEra may have been, there isn't a sole obvious reason for as to why it occurred, and there were still plenty of other ways in which it could've turned out for the worse.

-->'''Tails:''' I told you... (Tails's body shifts with [[BodyHorror a series of sickening cracks]] before he steps out of the shadows to reveal [[spoiler: the Tails from Secret Histories!]]) [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay I'M SONIC'S BEST FRIEND!!!]]

** "Bob the Cowboy Builder", a DarkParody of ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'', ends with Bob's machines growing tired of him being a {{Jerkass}} crook and [[ConstructiveBodyDisposal burying him in concrete]], going on to [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters lead their fellow sentient machines in revolt]], eventually establishing [[CommieLand a Communist dictatorship]]. [[GainaxEnding Naturally]].

* TheMainCharacterDoesEverything: Discussed in "[[VideoGameCultOfTheLamb Doom & Shroom]]". The Lamb goes out on a crusade for roughly three days, and finds that their husband has died. A simple enough 'fix', until they find out that because they've done everything for the cult, they've been completely unable to do anything from feeding themselves, cleaning up after themselves, and even ''burying their ex-husband's body.''

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Throughout "There's Something About Amy (Part 3)," there are hints to [[spoiler: Tails' true identity]].
*** He doesn't react to [[spoiler:Sonic's death]] as one would expect from him, instead focusing more on the consequences.
*** When laughing about how Amy and Sonic could have been together, and when later denouncing Sonic, his teeth are drawn as segmented, uneven and yellow.
*** He tells Amy he knew about Sonic's feelings because he's his ''best friend.''
*** [[FiveSecondForeshadowing Just before]] [[spoiler:Amy finds the original Tails' decaying head]], he outright says that the person Amy [[spoiler:killed]] wasn't Sonic, but an impostor. He even changes to his real voice when shouting "HE'S NOT SONIC!"
*** There's even a bit of Foreshadowing in the "There's Something About Amy (Part 1)," where Tails says this...
----> "'''Tails'''": You could say I'm [[HisOwnWorstEnemy my own worst enemy]]!
** In the first episode, Sonic always seems to be one step ahead of Amy's strategies and in the second, he doesn't seem reactive when she breaks in his house. [[spoiler:That's because he was suggested similar advices from Tails and he actually expected the chili dog dinner as the opportunity to score with Amy, explaining why he was particularly shocked by her [[BodyHorror transformation]].]]

** [[invoked]]"There's Something About Amy: Chapter 1" deconstructs RonTheDeathEater, specifically how Amy's detractors commonly depict her as a {{Yandere}} StalkerWithACrush towards Sonic. Initially, the story starts off with her acting very much like she does in the series proper: pushy with her affection, but hardly threatening towards him. However, Tails manipulates her into a SanitySlippage, which culminates in her BodyHorror transformation and [[spoiler:murder of Sonic]]. From this point, the story deviates from the typical RevengeFic when it [[TheReveal reveals]] that [[spoiler:Sonic actually ''did'' love Amy back, but couldn't reciprocate his feelings; he too was manipulated by Tails in the exact same way]]. Furthermore, the "Tails" responsible for this series of events [[spoiler:is ''not'' the real Tails, but the one seen in "Secret Histories"; the latter had murdered the former prior to the story]]. This effectively states that, in order for Amy to be truly unhinged, it would require [[OutsideGenreFoe influence from beyond what her series is normally capable of]], and that it would lead to tragedy for everyone involved.

* TheBadGuyWins:
** "Luigi's Lament" has Bowser destroy the Mushroom Kingdom and enslave everyone… until the sequel.
** "Spyro's Bad Day" ends with Spyro helping Ripto steal the Sorceress' scepter to fuse it with his own, causing things to look rather bleak for Avalar.
