* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Being the Homeless Man was ''already'' this, in mundane non-supernatural terms -- the last fragments of your past self watching yourself become a pitiful insane wreck of a human being, sleeping in filth and [[EatTheDog eating dogs]] to survive. Then comes TheReveal that when he dies, he's denied blissful CessationOfExistence and instead gets an eternity in the unspeakable {{Hell}} that is the Bastard's Box.]]

* EatTheDog: PlayedForLaughs. See above -- he's not above killing and eating stray dogs to survive (and he's ''lucky'' if [[ImAHumanitarian that's the worst thing he's eating]]).

* TheCameo: Jerry makes a brief appearance in ''Nerdy Prudes Must Die'' during the song "Hatchet Town". As he's not wearing his camp t-shirt, it's not apparent he's Jerry until a reporter accuses him of being the killer. In response, [[DirtyCoward he tries to claim Jeri was the killer]], to no avail. The filmed version instead has the reporter accuse Gerald Monroe, leaving Jerry only identified in the soundtrack version.

* HeroesWantRedheads: You'd have to have seen ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' or "Watcher World" to see her boyfriend Bill as a hero, but she's just one of multiple Kim Whalen characters who end up a heroic LoveInterest in the Hatchetfield universe.



* HeroesWantRedheads: Ted and Andy both fall short of being heroes in the end, but they both want her ''very, very'' much.

* AboveTheInfluence: Frank is one of the few characters who never hears the voice of Wiggly and doesn't actually become BrainwashedAndCrazy when the Wiggly cult forms, remaining one of the "infidels" along with his employee Lex. This is possibly because Wiggly's plan required him to be obsessed with ''selling'' the dolls to other people rather than having them for himself, or the Black Friday sale would never have happened.

As for why Wiggly didn't revoke this protection once the cult had already formed, one line from Linda implies that Wiggly [[EvenEvilHasStandards doesn't particularly]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness like Frank]].

* MadLibsCatchphrase: When Boy Jerry is annoyed with someone, he tends to make very odd threats starting with "I oughta…". So far, we've heard "put you in a canoe", "cover you in syrup" and "let a bird walk all over you".

* CreditsGag: The cast announcement for ''Black Friday'' listed this guy as the role Creator/JeffBlim would be playing. [[spoiler:This was to conceal the return of General [=MacNamara=].]] The gag became well-known enough ahead of time that when Jeff declares, "I'm in a hurry!", the ''Black Friday'' audience breaks into applause.
* DecompositeCharacter: Statements from the creators indicate that the man who orders a complicated coffee from Emma in TGWDLM, pictured above, is ''not'' the same character as the Man in a Hurry, instead identified as "Rude Customer" or "Coffee Jerk". This is clearly a {{Retcon}}, as he wears the exact same costume as the Man in a Hurry (costume being a ''huge'' factor in identifying Hatchetfield characters due to how few actors there are) and shares the tendency the Man in a Hurry exhibits in ''Black Friday'' of constantly being on his phone, but it seems the creators would now prefer this character to be used ''exclusively'' for "man in a hurry" jokes.

* NoNameGiven: The real names of the actresses playing Meg, Eve, and Sue are not given. It's also not textually stated that Leia is played by the previously seen bit character Courtney, though Lauren Lopez and Nick Lang agree that, since it's Lauren in the same wig, that's clearly her.

The show's program, a FreezeFrameBonus otherwise full of deliberately nonsensical writing by Matt Lang, identifies Eve's actress as Cassandra King.
