* NightmareFuel: Martine, the nanny from hell, is quite unnerving and creepy. For starters, she's overly giggly, which is already unsettling on its own. And according to Cheryl, she's full of NonSequiturs, which is also a little weird. But she becomes downright ''crazy'' when she hears the ''Looney Tunes'' theme (due to hearing that theme over and over again at the Looney Tunes Lodge, where she worked for ''15 years'').

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The KafkaKomedy that was normal in ''{{Seinfeld}}'' is turned UpToEleven on this show. While you can easily say that [[{{Jerkass}} Larry is enough of a jackass]] that he deserves plenty of the punishment that comes his way (especially because he doesn't really knows when to back down or tone down the asshole), there are also many examples where the universe just seems to have it against Larry for no reason other than him ''existing'' (let alone just being in the wrong place at the wrong time), and this (plus the typical cast-ful of belligerent assholes that is normal to a Larry David production, including [[AuthorAvatar Larry]] himself, and the terrible things they do) can make it hard to find the fun in the gags, no matter how good the set-up. (And if you want good InUniverse examples of "DudeNotFunny" to illustrate this... well, look two Tropes down).

* RetroactiveRecognition: In the episode "The Car Pool Lane", Larry buys weed from [[{{Lost}} Hurley]].

* NeverLiveItDown: Bill Buckner in-story. 25 years after committing a mistake that cost the Red Sox the World Series, everybody still hates him for it.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Larry is almost always the object of scorn and derision for his actions and opinions, but a fair bit of the time the audience is meant to sympathize with his refusal to go along with various abritrary and capricious rules of "polite" society, believing that Larry is typically in the 'right'.

* TheArtifact: Arguably played for comedy with Leon. The character was introduced in season six as the brother of a Vivica A. Fox's character (a woman whose family was Hurricane refugees staying with the Davids) who came to live with the Davids also. He stayed for the duration of the seventh season despite his sister and family departing the cast at the end of the second episode, season 8 premieres a year and a half later and evidently Leon is still living with Larry.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Larry is almost always the object of scorn and derision for his actions and opinions, but a fair bit of the time this is because he refuses to simply go along with the unwritten rules of "polite" society, which he (correctly) views as arbitrary and capricious.
** Debatable. In many situations, it seems like the viewer is meant to agree with or at least understand Larry's point of view.

* MarySue: Subverted to hell and back. Larry is a deeply flawed character who people,quite rightfully,cannot stand most of the time. While there are occasions that he is sympathetic, he commits acts which are pretty much inexcusable from any viewpoint (he once nearly let Jeff and Susie's daughter drown because he didn't want to damage his blackberry and deceived his cancer stricken girlfriend into leaving him).
