* FauxSymbolism: A few people have interpreted certain shorts to have a deeper meaning (the video for "The Music Scene" from the ''Animals'' episode and [="PreBirth"=] from the ''Sound'' episdoe in particular). In reality, most (if not all) of them are just really bizarre.

* HilariousInHindsight: Remember the [[https://youtu.be/qBjLW5_dGAM?feature=shared Western Spaghetti]] short from [[Recap/OffTheAirS1E2Food Food]]? Well, [[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers someone else]] created something [[WebAnimation/SMG4MovieWesternSpaghetti with the same name]].

TRS


* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The series' main producer, David Hughes, has actually expressed some frustration with this notion, arguing that the show does not need such things to be interesting. This has not diminished its popularity [[WatchItStoned among those who actually are stoned, though]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: A few shorts fall under this. However, the "Body" episode is pretty much loaded with it.

* NightmareFuel: Several of the shorts can fall under this.
** The "Hell/????" segment from the ''Space'' episode is horrifying to say the least.
** Due to the sheer amount of UncannyValley (as mentioned above), the ''Body'' episode definitely qualifies. Special mention goes to the rubbery-looking CGI man twitching about like a ragdoll down the street. People aren't supposed to move like that!
** Most of the "Nightmares" episode[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ...unsurprisingly.]]
