!!This series provides examples of:
* AllThereInTheManual: The blog was made to give more detail into Giroro's and Dororo's lives, personalities, relationships, and marriage so as to better avoid {{flanderization}}.
* AlternateDimension: The two are aware that they live in a dimension separate from ours and that they are being transmitted across dimensions. Several jokes are made based on this premise.
** The blog also has NoFourthWall as a result.
* BrickJoke: A carry-over from ''SgtFrogAbridged'': in Episode 8 Keroro remembers the "poodlejumper" incident mentioned in SFA6.
* CharacterBlog: Both the audio series and the Tumblr account itself; Giroro and Dororo occasionally reblog and comment on Tumblr posts.
* CrapsackWorld: Earth is still time locked after the Garuru Platoon's invasion, leaving only the SFA cast "alive".
* {{Flanderization}}: As stated in AllThereInTheManual, the series was made with the premise of [[DefiedTrope defying this trope]].
* FollowTheLeader: [[WordOfGod Thorn]] was first inspired to do an audio blog after seeing SFA creator Mugiwara Yoshi's ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' parody blog, ''[[http://askdeepdashandcrazytwilight.tumblr.com/ Ask Deep Dash and Crazy Twilight]]''.
* FourthWallMailSlot: The core premise.
* FreudianExcuse: Dororo thinks a childhood incident where Keroro and Giroro "abused him with a toy unicorn" is the reason he's gay.
* FridgeLogic: InUniverse, in Episode 8 Keroro finally questions how a poodle got on Keron, [[BrickJoke as originally mentioned in SFA6]].
* HappilyMarried: Giroro and Dororo, and a frequent discussion topic. They are open about the reasons they got married (primarily that they not only love each other but ''like'' each other), and they are critical of couples who forget to marry for these reasons.
* HeroicBSOD: Dororo sometimes lapses into these when childhood traumas come to the surface. They manifest as lucid, PTSD-like moments.
* MoodWhiplash:
** The two talk soberingly about life post-Future Kululu in Episode 3. Then the next question is by someone named Penguin-Balloon...
** In Episode 9 [[spoiler:when Dororo finally finds out that Garuru's platoon and everyone on Keron are dead]].
** In Episode 10 when Kululu notices that [[spoiler:the winds are so strong for the humans that one has been blown off a highrise.]]
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: A continuing running gag from ''SFA'' involving Dororo's name being mangled or replaced, though this time it's perpetuated by the viewers. Dororo and Giroro often get back at them.
* NoodleIncident: The time Keroro and Giroro "abused" Dororo with a toy unicorn.

* RealitySubtext:
** Some of the stories in the series, such as Giroro's first kiss and his emotional state during the Kilili incident, are based on Thorn's personal experiences, the latter specifically on the ending of ''SFA''.

* SexyDiscretionShot: The very indiscreet "Fucking Interlude" in Episode 3.
* ShoutOut:
** Whenever someone does something significant for the Tumblr account, E.G. [=NelloNello's=] banner, the couple will thank them in the podcast.
** Dororo is a big fan of Music/ScottWalker, and has even turned Giroro on to his work. (The meta example is of course Thorn being a big fan of Walker.) Dororo also mentions that he likes Music/TheSmiths, [[{{Reggae}} Jimmy Cliff]], Music/TheCure, and Music/JoyDivision.
** Giroro recalls two of his childhood heroes in Episode 9. They're named [[Music/{{Can}} Tagogo and Magogo]].
** The two will watch any movie with Creator/JohnCusack, Creator/EwanMcGregor or RobertCarlyle. Dororo singles out Film/TheFullMonty as a favourite, due to it being Thorn's favourite film.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Discussed at various points in regards to their own relationship. The two themselves are aversions, being affectionate but best friends above all else.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Dororo leans toward Idealistic, Giroro towards Cynical. They discuss how they both balance each other out and pull each other to opposite ends of the spectrum.
* TitleDrop: Inverted. Every episode takes its title from a random line in the episode.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Dororo is an inversion. He's too tortured to be kinky.
