* BigEater: Alluded to in "This Is 200 Calories", which discusses how much a 200-calorie serving size of various foods would contain. With low-calorie foods like broccoli and celery, it would require the consumption of enormous amounts of each food to obtain 200 calories.
* CutenessProximity: "Why Are Babies So Cute?" {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s this scientifically. It explains that human babies being considered particularly aesthetically pleasing is an evolutionary adaptation to urge parents to care for and protect them while they are still completely dependent on others for survival. It also discusses what traits are scientifically considered adorable and how the mental reaction to cuteness is brought about.
* ChickenAndEggParadox: Extensively discussed in "Which Came First – The Chicken or the Egg?", regarding the nomenclature ambiguity of a 'chicken egg' and how evolution, including that of chickens, must occur over many, ''many'' generations. Their final conclusion is that [[spoiler:the first chicken must have come from an egg, so the egg came first]].
* DontTryThisAtHome: "Weird Ways to Burn 200 Calories" discusses that drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day for three days can burn off 200 calories, but adds a disclaimer not to drink all 3 days' worth of water in one day due to it being dangerous, i.e. risking water poisoning.
* OneGenderRace: Played with. "We were all female" explains that all human life began with zygotes that developed into embryos with female phenotypic/physical trait, and the SRY gene on the Y chromosome only activates about 5–6 weeks into embryonic development to allow for the development of the male phenotype.
* AWeightyAesop: The conclusion for "This Is 200 Calories" is that calories are not always the benchmark to which nutrition should be measured, and that one should strive to have a healthy and balanced diet.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification:
** "Mitosis vs Meiosis Rap Battle!" has Greg and Mitch play the personifications of mitosis and meiosis, respectively.
** "SCIENCE WARS" has Mitch playing Physics and Biology and Greg playing Chemistry and Math, making allusions to concepts from their own fields and declaring that "together [they] will find the answers to life".
* BattleRapping: The "Mitosis vs Meiosis Rap Battle!" features Mitosis and Meiosis going up against each other, boasting their own benefits while dissing at the other's disadvantages. [[spoiler:They decide to become friends and hang out after concluding that both processes consist of mostly interphase, involve metaphase, and end with cytokinesis.]]
* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: "The Science Love Song" compares their prospective romantic relationship with a scientific experiment and "a research endeavour", where they'd get back together and try again before deciding if the relationship is going to work out in the end.
-->''If at first we don't succeed, we'll try two more times\\
So our failure's a statistically significant try''
* ChangingChorus: PlayedForLaughs in "The Science Love Song", where the chorus ends with the line, "We can write the conclusion together"; Greg tacks on the line "With twenty annotations and bibliography" in the second and last iteration of the chorus to drive home the scientific experiment and journal article metaphor.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In "SCIENCE WARS", Math wears a black shirt and sings his verse to the "Imperial March", but is a critical component of science and is shown to get along well with the other sciences.
* TheDissTrack: "Science STYLE" is directed at anyone who dismisses the work of scientists and "makes fun of nerds", by stating how science is omnipresent in one's everyday life and how the nerdy scientists they make fun of are smart, [[NerdsAreSexy attractive]], and about to revolutionize human society and culture with their contributions.
-->''You know those iPhone apps that help you flirt?\\
Well, it was the STEM field majors who designed it all first''
* EverybodyHatesMathematics: Spoofed and averted in "SCIENCE WARS", where Math's verse is set to the "[[NecessarilyEvil Imperial March]]", a villainous leitmotif, but is presented as a stern, disciplined force on which all science is built on.
* FingerWag: In "Science STYLE", Mitch wags his finger with a disapproving expression when condemning the target audience for "making fun of nerds".
* GreenMeansNatural: In "SCIENCE WARS", Biology wears a green T-shirt and is portrayed as being InHarmonyWithNature from studying it extensively.
* InHarmonyWithNature: "SCIENCE WARS" characterizes Biology as this, having his verse sung to a soothing melody, advocating for "symbiosis and not division"[[note]](unless it's mitosis or the study of fission)[[/note]], and praising that evolution has brought about "all species singing one song".
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine:
** Alluded to in "The Science Love Song", where Mitch states that [[NerdsAreSexy his love interest's lab coat and goggles go straight to his heart]]... only to correct himself in that the brain is in charge of emotions, not the heart.
** The song "Science STYLE" contains the line "Even with our lab coats and goggles, we'll make you thirst".
* LiteralMetaphor: {{Subverted|Trope}} in "The Science Love Song", where the singers say they'd steal their love interest's heart "just like the movies", but won't do so because their love interest would die.
* MouthfulOfPi: "The Pi Song", listing the first 100 digits of pi, ends with the line "Learning random digits so that you can brag to your friends". Its succeeding version with 200 digits, "The Pi Song 2.0", also includes this line after the first 100 digits.
* NerdsAreSexy:
** "The Science Love Song" is targeted towards the singers' scientist love interest, making various references to scientific concepts and academia, as well as mentioning the love interest is "a-cute" and "smart" in their lab coat and goggles.
** "Science STYLE" contains the lines "Even with our lab coats and goggles, we'll make you thirst" (in the chorus) and "People are sexy when they show they're smart" (in the second verse).
* PrecisionFStrike: The bridge of "Science STYLE" ends with Greg telling the target audience to "Don't be [[SymbolSwearing f*#%ing]] dumb" and appreciate the science and works of scientists around oneself.
* {{Pun}}: "The Science Love Song" is filled with scientific metaphors and ends with the line "'Cause you matter to me."
* ScienceIsGood: The song "Science STYLE" states that science is omnipresent in everyday life and condemns those who mindlessly follow trends and makes fun of nerds.
-->''See, I heard– (OH!)\\
That you've been out and about\\

* ShoutOut: All verses of "SCIENCE WARS" are written to songs from the ''Franchise/StarWars''. The Physics verse also contains the line "May the mass times acceleration be with you".
* SillyLoveSongs: "The Science Love Song" is filled with a HurricaneOfPuns and metaphors comparing the singer and their love interest's relationship to a scientific research project.
* SpurnedIntoSuicide: In the second verse of "The Science Love Song", Greg declares that he'd "give up H[[subscript:2]]O for H[[subscript:2]]SO[[subscript:4]]"[[note]]"give up water for sulfuric acid"[[/note]] if he and his love interest broke up.
* TechnicolorScience: Chemistry's verse in "SCIENCE WARS" has the sciences hold up various test tubes and flasks of colourful liquid.
* VisualPun: Math's verse of "SCIENCE WARS" ends with the line "No gadgets; just your logic and your time and pi", as Physics holds up a pie with the symbol of pi (π) written on it.
* VitriolicBestBuds: In "SCIENCE WARS", Chemistry makes a diss towards the other scientific fields, calling them "basic" in contrast to him being "the central science", but still gets along with them, united in their pursuit of "the answers to life".
* WordSaladHumor: While "The Pi Song" is an intensive tune set to "In the Hall of the Mountain King", "The Pi Song 2.0" extension is set to "The Blue Danube Waltz" and features lines such as "9-8-2-1-4, so many more; 8-0-8-6-5, let's all high-five; 13-2-8-2, well, look at you; 3-0-6 and your bag of tricks".
