* ADayInTheLimelight:
** Martin's first character-focused episode was "[=ReSt=]_As5ure", but rather than be a part of the tape, he's literally ''watching'' the tape - his reflection can be seen on the screen throughout the episode. The tape is some kind of "relaxation exercise" video that attempts to soothe Martin of all his worries and fears. It would probably be more effective if it weren't for the fact that Henry, Sofia, and the Ice Cream Man appear throughout the tape, reminding Martin of the sins he's committed and the people he's betrayed.
** A sillier, far more confused version of Martin starred in the April Fools special "[=FaMily=]_ReUnion". Martin can't remember anything that he's done to his family and proceeds to have a hilarious mental breakdown when the family confronts him.

* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode "1_2_3_C0unt_With_M3" features the Ice Cream Man teaching children how to count to ten. It's a rather unusual episode in that nothing scary happens until the literal last minute - and the episode is seven minutes long.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After not making a single appearance throughout the eight-episode finale, Sofia got a chance to shine in "My Two Front Teeth", a stylized and absolutely horrifying Christmas special that features charming 2D art of the characters. It was later revealed by Battington that the special was Sofia's nightmare.

* ADayInTheLimelight: After being a fairly minor character for all of Season 1, Ava finally got her chance to shine in "THE_PERFECT_PET" when she [[spoiler: comforts Banzo after he got injured trying to protect her from Martin. She fuses with Banzo to form a whole new character afterwards known as Alpha]].

* ADayInTheLimelight: After only making a few appearances as a mysterious shadow throughout Season 1, Gloria finally got her own episode, "[=Ple4se=]_C0me_B4ck_T0_M3", where it was revealed she's been trying to get Martin to come back to his senses by making him watch the VHS tapes that make up the actual episodes of the show. It's truly heartwrenching to watch, especially when Martin doesn't listen...

* ADayInTheLimelight: The Puppeteer only made a few minor appearances throughout Season 1. It finally got a turn in the spotlight in "THE_MIRACLE_CHILD", where it [[spoiler: broke into the house of a boy named Eddie to search for Henry dummies. While the Puppeteer chases Eddie at first, it seems to have ended up befriending him]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Should the viewer choose the "Kill" ending in "Rebirth", they will be presented with an image of Banzo after he has murdered Ava. He is covered in her blood, and although Banzo can't make facial expressions, he still somehow manages to look utterly horrified with himself.

* ControlFreak: The only thing Martin desires more than perfection is control...especially of his family. When he transformed them into toys via dark magic, they were supposed to obey his every command. He was proven wrong on two occasions: [[spoiler: Banzo refusing to kill Ava for him]], and the Ice Cream Man attacking him.
** Martin's victims are transformed into various different objects - costumes, dolls, puppets, and plush toys - but what do all these objects have in common? ''They're meant to be controlled and manipulated''.

* AxCrazy: It's implied that Martin gradually lost his sanity and stability over time, perhaps due to the multiple killings he carried out; the exposure to dark magic may have also played a part. By the time his family figured out how dangerous he really was, it was already too late...

* Foil: To Martin. While Martin is a disturbingly abusive and abrasive father, Arthur is very kind and understanding man who seems to be quite close to the family, seeing as Gloria trusted Arthur. Additionally, Martin kills many people willingly while Arthur only kills Thomas while possessing the Ice Cream Man costume reluctantly. Arthur also gave one last chance to Martin when his behavior become too much to handle while Martin never did so to any of his children and was unpersuaded by any attempts to stop.
