* AreWeThereYet: Wheatley keeps asking this to Gabe in chapter 9.
* BeingHumanSucks: Wheatley thinks this for most of the story. He warms up to it eventually.

* {{Cameo}}: Reviewers are given cameos if they can answer trivia questions at the end of each chapter. There are also appearances by [[Literature/IRobot Doctor Susan Calvin]], [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Christian Weston Chandler]], [[ComicBook/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sal Monella]], and the entire cast of ''Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''.

** In the Being Human universe, [=GLaDOS=] ''wrote'' ''FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}''.

* FilkSong: "Wheatley's Song" by Miracle of Sound is sung at the beginning of the story.

** [[spoiler:She does finally let out one in the finale after becoming SuddenlyVoiced.]]

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7178385/1/Being_Human Being Human Or, A Scientific Study on the Behavioral and Social Aspects of Homo Sapiens in its Natural Habitat Facilitated through the use of an Aperture Science Personality Construct]]'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' fanfic written by Doombly, aka Creator/SueMary and [[FanFic/{{ITSMYLIFE}} MarrissaTheWriter]]. It is not to be confused with the [[Series/BeingHumanUK television show of the same name]].

* RickRoll: Wheatley gets rickrolled near the end of chapter 8.

After several failed attempts at a sequel, the story had an [[FourthWallMailSlot Ask-Wheatley tumblr]] created for it. Unfortunately, as Doombly had lost the password for it, it fizzled out shortly after being created (and eventually was automatically deleted), and the author has largely moved on to writing stories for fandoms such as ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: The tumblr recounts an attempt by Chell to find if she had any living relatives. She had a DNA test taken and the doctor only replied that her ethnicity was unknowable as she had "more blood in her than a mosquito". [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Wheatley took this to mean Chell is a vampire]].

* ThirdActMisunderstanding: Gabe mistakes the sounds of Chell and Wheatley fighting the party escort bot for [[CrowningMomentOfFunny them having sex]], allowing the escort bot to capture Wheatley and incapacitate Chell.

One day, SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS discovers that she doesn't understand humans outside of what they do in test chambers, and not understanding all the potential variables is the first step on the road to bad science. So she decides to place an AI into one of the frozen human bodies she has and send it out to study humans in their "natural habitat". Unfortunately the only AI that's suitable for transfer is... SelfDemonstrating/{{Wheatley}}. Armed with a computer chip that allows her to talk to and see everything Wheatley does, [=GLaDOS=] sends him out into the surface.

* UnusualEuphemism: Wheatley really likes Chell's "fleshy personality cores".

After several failed attempts at a sequel, the story had an [[FourthWallMailSlot Ask-Wheatley tumblr]] created for it, which can be found [[http://askbeinghumanwheatley.tumblr.com/ here]]. Unfortunately, as Doombly has lost the password for it, it is unlikely to ever be updated, and the author has largely moved on to writing stories for the Lutece twins from ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite''.

One day, SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS discovers that she doesn't understand humans outside of what they do in test chambers, and not understanding all the potential variables is the first step on the road to bad science. So she decides to place an AI into one of the frozen human bodies she has and send it out to study humans in their "natural habitat". Unfortunately the only AI that's suitable for transfer is... SelfDemonstrating/{{Wheatley}}. Armed with a computer chip that allows her to talk to and see everything Wheatley does, GLaDOS sends him out into the surface.

What follows are the humorous recounting of Wheatley's attempts to socialize with humans and adjust to his new body, coupled with GLaDOS snarking on human culture, tons of bizarre cameos ranging from the cast of ''Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest'' to [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Christian Weston Chandler]] himself, plenty of shout outs to internet memes, and a dash of {{shipping}}.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pretty much every character in the story to some degree, but "Colossal Chris-Chan" takes the cake. Between calling GLaDOS a "slanderous troll", demanding to play "vidya games" in the middle of tests and ultimately covering himself in repulsion gel and attaching turret legs to his head to become his "super mode", he makes ''Wheatley'' seem competent.

* HiddenDepths: GLaDOS has them, its never outright stated, but strongly implied that these depths are due to Caroline being Chell's mother.

** In the Being Human universe, GLaDOS ''wrote'' ''FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}''.

* ThePowerOfLove: GLaDOS [[spoiler:lets Wheatley go after she realizes that Chell really does love him]]. Wheatley points out how OutOfCharacter [[LampshadeHanging that is]] [[CharacterDevelopment for]] GLaDOS.
