Basic Trope: A character says something such as "Oh no, not again!" in response to a situation that likely hasn't happened before.
- Straight: Alice gets kidnapped by a giant frog man. Her reaction is "Oh no, not again!"
- Exaggerated:
- Something happens to Alice that is literally Beyond the Impossible. She says "Oh no, not again!" anyway.
- Alice saying "Oh no, not again!" in response to anything that happens is a Running Gag.
- Downplayed: Alice says "Oh no, not again!" while simply getting kidnapped.
- Justified:
- Alice really did get kidnapped by a frog man before.
- Alice is upset about being kidnapped, and is trying to make light of the situation.
- Frog men, Werehogs, Nazis, Whathaveyounot… A kidnapping is still a kidnapping.
- Inverted: Alice gets rescued by a Cute Kitten. She says "Oh, yes, it happened again!"
- Subverted: the fact that Season 1 Episode 2 depicts the same kind of kidnapping by a giant frog man as seen here, boosts likelihood to 100%. and making Alice's "Oh, No Not Again" a Call-Back to that.

- Played for Laughs: Often is, because Nothing Is Funnier.
- Played for Drama: Alice has PTSD from previously getting kidnapped, and is saying this out of fear of what will happen.
- Played for Horror: Alice is about to be possessed by a demon. She starts begging "Oh, no, please don't possess me again!", implying that the demon has possessed her before.
Back to Oh, No... Not Again!
