* BaitAndSwitch: "Loser, Baby" starts off like your typical PepTalkSong, with Husk counting all the ways Angel's life sucks right now in a manner that implies he's going to say it's not as bad as Angel thinks... only for Husk to end the verse by telling Angel that he's right, his life really does suck ass. Subverted in that the song is in the end meant to cheer Angel up, but does so in a much more realistic way and without trying to downplay how horrible Angel's circumstances are.

** When Charlie explains to Valentino that she's paying him a visit to get Angel some time off work, he very briefly looks over his shoulder and scowls at Angel, complete with a [[SickeningCrunch "bone cracking" sound effect]].
** When Charlie sets Valentino's studio on fire, Angel spots Valentino [[ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes glaring at him whilst silhouetted amongst the conflagration]]. Angel's [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises irises shrink in fear]] as he knows what's coming next.
** As Angel tells Charlie to GetOut, she initially tries to desperately apologize to him, but one final stinkeye from him sends her running on her way.

* BerserkButton: Angel Dust hates his outward persona being called "fake", because he believes it's who he has to be in order to escape Valentino's abuse and as such it is ''very'' real to him.

* BerserkButton: Angel Dust hates his outward persona being called "fake", because he believes it's who he has to be in order to escape Valentino's abuse and as such it is ''very'' real to him. The first time Husk calls him as such he tries to brush it off and turn it into a joke, but the second time he says it later in the episode Angel is at the end of his rope after having worked for Valentino all night, and is not in a laughing mood. Husk continuing to push his buttons leads to him getting extremely fed up with Husk's indignance and storming out of the Hotel to go get wasted.

** According to Angel, Valentino once took 30 minutes to count three bills. This is a reference to [[https://youtu.be/ulfeM8JGq7s?si=rnBeqWrrwwGvlhGp&t=111 a scene]] in "Music/{{Addict}}" where Valentino is looking through three bills in his hand.[[note]]According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRxkD6NFVKE&t=1455s an interview]], this aspect of "Addict" was an error and he was meant to be counting a stack of bills.[[/note]]

* ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: During the second chorus of "Poison", Angel is [[DisneyAcidSequence seemingly whisked away into some kind of pocket dimension]] where he starts performing an extremely provocative dance while wearing a {{Stripperific}} leather outfit with a NavelDeepNeckline. However, it's still intercut with very brief flashes of Valentino implicilty raping Angel, suggesting that [[HappyPlace this is some kind of mental illusion where Angel feels liberated and empowered he's conjured for himself]] to [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland help get through the experience]], made all the more obvious when [[RuleOfSymbolism Valentino drags him out of it at the end of the chorus]].

* ShooOutTheClowns: Sir Pentious and Niffty only appear in the first few minutes of the episode and don't have any lines. Given that this is one of the darker episodes of the show, it's expected that the Hotel's most actively comedic residents spend most of it pushed into the background.
