5!!This comic contains the following tropes:
6* AteHisGun: Jose almost does this, but changes his mind at the last minute when he sees a TV that will let him leave the TV world.
7* BloodSport: When Jose comes out of the TV world, [[spoiler:since there are several televisions tuned to his body's frequency, several clones of him come out of the [=TVs=], which are forced to fight to the death]].
8** [[spoiler: Deconstructed: As soon [[MesACrowd as all of him]] comes out of the tv, he turns the weapons on the crowd instead of himself.]]
9* FantasticDrug: The Neon Ice Cream, which zaps its user into the TV world.
10* HandWave: The explanation given on how Neon Ice Cream works feels like one: "It aligns your nervous system with a certain electro-magnetic frequency".
11* GladiatorRevolt: [[spoiler: It happens.]]
12* KillingYourAlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Subverted. It's the intent of the BloodSport, but [[GladiatorRevolt Jose is having none of it.]]]]
13* TrappedInTVLand: The effect of the Neon Ice Cream. However, what's more interesting among the drug's fans is not what happens while you're inside the TV, but rather what happens when you exit it, as [[spoiler:having several [=TVs=] tuned to the frequency of your body causes one copy of you to come out of each TV.]]
14* MesACrowd: [[spoiler: Exploited for blood sport.]]
15* UnusualEuphemism: Jose's "friends" are using some weird druggie lingo at the start, such as "Raking the leaves off the neighbor's lawn", "Sipping ice tea from a Chinese slipper", "Waking up with Winston Churchill", and "Crushing a tiny porcelain poodle with your bare hands".
