--> "[[spoiler:If I fall, ''so does this town''...]]"

* CallBack: ''Yellow Helicopters'' can be seen as a direct sequel to [[spoiler:''The Sandstorm'']].

%%* MegaCorp: [[spoiler:[=StrexCorp=]]]

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Old Woman Josie's angel friends disappear.]]

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: [[spoiler:[=StrexCorp=] takes over Night Vale and buys out Night Vale Community Radio]].

* WhamEpisode: Just take a look at all those spoilers...

* HypocriticalHumor: Hiram McDaniels, "who is literally a five-headed dragon", says in his campaign ad that you shouldn't vote for someone without a mouth because it would be too weird.

-->A lonely heart, a wandering eye, an empty stomach, a shoulder to cry on - this is what makes us, us. Welcome to Night Vale.

Today's Proverb: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never quite describe the pain.

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Intern Vithia.

Cecil recounts the strange disappearance of some of Night Vale's winged, angelic, and [[RunningGag unknowably hierarchical]] citizens, before launching into the feature story. Helicopters are hovering in the skies above Night Vale. Not the normal {{Black Helicopter}}s of the World Government or the Blue Helicopters of the Sheriff's SecretPolice. No, these are [[TitleDrop Yellow Helicopters]], and what do thy want? Why have they come to town? Also, some community health tips, an update on Night Vale High's quarterback Michael Sandero, and a campaign message from Hiram [=McDaniels=].
