Up To Eleven is being dewicked.


** Taken UpToEleven in Facade, where at least '''forty''' songs appear during the course of the video. This includes music that plays in the background naturally, some 90's show themes on Noah's television, and songs that play on the radio in Noah's house.

* SpecialEffectFailure: At the end of every video, one of the Collective members will insert a hidden frame at the ''very'' last second of the video to force viewers to go back and pause the video at the right time in order to see what the image is. Unfortunately, this effect doesn't work for those who watch the video on mobile phones, as instead of cutting the video and showing more video suggestions like they would on a computer, it instead just stops the video, leaving the viewer with the freeze frame stuck where it is. Though this occasionally can be averted, as the freeze frames will occasionally be very dark, preventing one from seeing it clearly.

* SpecialEffectFailure: SpecialEffectFailure:
** The picture of Milo Asher's corpse that the Observer leaks onto Twitter looks less like a suicide and more like Milo had just fallen asleep. The photo itself is also has a terribly photoshopped shadow to make it look like he's lying on the floor, when he really isn't.
** An audible version of this trope occurs in The Order. It's pretty easy to hear that the "Observer's" laughter that plays as Noah is running from the aforementioned Order is ''clearly'' a woman laughing, especially once Pitfall was released.
** The Live Stream Incident. Averted with the ''video'' mind you, but the livestream itself had a lot of errors. It was only recorded for 30 seconds, and while INTERCEPTION was broadcasted, only the audio from the video was present.
** The stacks of cash in Mr. Scars' briefcase aren't the typical green that money is made of, but solid white instead. [[LampshadeHanging Noah himself suspects that the bills are counterfeit]].
** DEATHTRAPEXODUS has a scene where a nervous Kevin Haas is shown looking around a forest while Firebrand tells Noah [[spoiler: he must kill Kevin in order to save him from the Observer's grasp.]] Due to a rendering error however, the text that says this is ''incredibly'' hard to see, leaving it frequently overlooked for first viewers.
** During Crawlspace, Slender Man is shown to have white pants with a black jacket, due to the camera's infrared vision seeing the the jacket and pants as two different materials. WordOfGod states that he discovered the error too late in production and didn't have time to fix it, so he just kept it as is.
** In Pitfall, the scenes where Noah supposedly keeps looping back to the observation tower are less than stellar due to the very noticeable jump cuts ruining the effect.
** It's quite obvious that the news reporters in Facade aren't actually real, as the dialogue for the anchor and field reporter doesn't come anywhere close to matching up to the mouth movements of the respective people.
** A few episodes in the Fortunes arc have sections where once can tell that Noah's dialogue was recorded in post, due to a slight room reverb following what he's saying, which shouldn't be possible in an outdoor setting.

** In DEATHTRAPEXODUS, Firebrand shows us a visual of Noah's (and to an extension, the creator's) house being submersed in a dark, black liquid, while telling Noah to "prepare for the flood." In 2017, that visual very nearly came true with Hurricane Irma hitting the area where Noah/Adam's house was located. Thankfully, it shifted from a Category 4 to a Category 2 very suddenly, but at the time, it made Firebrand's words seem ''very'' prophetic in a dark way.

* ArcFatigue: The Fortunes arc became this in the eyes of some people by the series' end. Noah's trip to the Collective's dimension to retrieve Milo's journal happened way back in 2015, and we have yet to see the entirety of what he went through since. Combine Noah's lack of progress to escape the Boardwalk in each video, a significant amount of delay between updates (caused by RealLifeWritesThePlot) and Noah's newfound nihilistic attitude on Twitter that ultimately doesn't amount to anything important, a lot of fans are tired of waiting for the arc to conclude, and would prefer to see Noah make progress in the present-day to do what Firebrand has been telling him to do since 2012, which Noah has seemingly forgotten about since Bridge to Nowhere. With the series now unofficially finished, this arc is now hated even more, due to it never coming to a proper conclusion, and feeling like a very, ''very'' long filler section.

* {{Flanderization}}: Various aspects of Noah's personality start being emphasized as the series goes along.
** In Season 1, Noah shows that in spite of his Determinator status, he's quite reluctant to pursue answers about Milo's death and fight against Slender Man. By the time the Fortunes arc comes around, his hesitation to keep going has snowballed into an utter refusal to make any progress at all, out of fear of the Collective retaliating.
** Also in the beginning of the series, Noah's swearing is quite tame in contrast to the [[SirSwearsALot filthy mouth]] he would gain as the series progresses.
** One could say that the Observer goes through this as well. In season 1, the Observer's erratic anger and insanity only showed whenever Firebrand disrupted his private broadcast during INTERCEPTION, and occasionally appeared while he's mocking Noah in his videos. Besides that, the Observer has a very [[TheStoic stoic]] personality as he terrorizes Noah. In season 2 though, the Observer drops any stoicism he previously had, in favor of a more [[TheHyena hyena-like]] personality. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Not that it's any less scary]].
** The usage of meaningful backmasked music (or "Hellgaze" as Adam and the fanbase call it) was initially something that only played during Collective videos that were in line with what Firebrand or the Observer were communicating to Noah. From Bridge to Nowhere onwards, Hellgaze is bound to appear in practically every video due to Noah being in different dimensions, ranging from normal songs to TV themes, sound effects, video game music, and even the Observer’s mocking in Facade.



* FollowTheLeader: Mostly Marble Hornets, but has been going its own way since ''My Grandfather Karl''.



* IKnewIt: [[spoiler: "The Live Stream Incident" confirmed what the fandom had suspected for months: Firebrand is a future version of Noah Maxwell who has been inducted into the Collective.]]
* InMemoriam: The channel started off as this for Noah's cousin, Milo. Until he began to notice something in the tapes...



* RecycledScript: The video in ''Box Analysis'' looks awfully similar to ''Entry 4'' of ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'', right down to the swinging swings.
*** In fairness to ''Box Analysis'', consider [[FridgeHorror who Slender Man's]] [[ChildEater preferred victims are]].
** [[spoiler:''HELLOTHERE'' is pretty damn reminiscent of totheark's ''Entry ######''; it's a strange and ominous black-and-white video posted on the protagonist's account, telling him to do stuff and threatening/warning him.]]

Some not YMMV items and a Covid shoehorn.


** While talking to his past self, Sisyphus Noah (who's from a few years ahead in the future, mind you) offhandedly mentions that he's on "house arrest" at the moment. Three years after the video release date (and five years after Noah encounters him), the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has forced most people to remain indoors to keep themselves safe from the virus.



* HateSink: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Mary. Fucking. Asher]]. Many people from both in-game and out-of-game have nothing but burning hatred for the woman, especially once the contents of Milo's journal revealed just how awful of a person she really was.



* HorrorComedy: Although the series as a whole is horror dominant, there's many comedic moments used to give viewers a breather and/or to break the tension of the series. Notable examples include [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Firebrand flipping of Slender Man in DEUS EX MACHINA]] (and Noah subsequently calling him "Daddy-Long Legs" in Obituary), Noah awkwardly stabbing some bushes in Night Recording, and pretty much anything [[MyFutureSelfAndMe Future Noah]] says or does.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Northern Trip Footage was criticized as being a very dull crossover with ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'', since the most that Noah and the HYBRIDS did was discuss their separate findings and how they tangentially related to each other, with only one Slender Man sighting appearing midway through the video. This was rectified with the multi-episode crossover with ''WebVideo/DarkHarvest'', where not only are the connections to both parties more clear, but the group has a run-in with the Order and Slender Man that was chock full of terrors. Later on, when EMH and and TT crossed over again in a two-parter, Noah gets to interact directly with HABIT and learn about Severance in the first half, and explore the Candleverse in the second half, thus proving the Iteration Theory to be true for EMH fans.

** Taken UpToEleven in Facade, where at least '''forty''' songs appear during the course of the video. This includes music that plays in the background naturally, some 90's show themes on Noah's television, and songs that play on the radio in Noah's house.

** The usage of meaningful backmasked music (or "Hellgaze" as Adam and the fanbase call it) was initially something that only played during Collective videos that were in line with what Firebrand or the Observer were communicating to Noah. From Bridge to Nowhere onwards, Hellgaze is bound to appear in practically every video due to Noah being in different dimensions, ranging from normal songs to TV themes, sound effects, video game music, and even the Observer’s mocking in Facade.

* EpilepticTrees:
** Ever since glimpsing him in Severance, Slenderverse fans started tripping over themselves guessing who the bleeding man in HABIT's bathroom was. Examples of those guesses include Lee from WebVideo/WhisperedFaith, Chris from WebVideo/DarkHarvest, a future version of Noah, and Michael Andersen of WebVideo/MLAndersen0. A few years after the video was released, WordOfGod indirectly confirmed that the man in the bathroom was indeed Michael.
** The identity of the roommate that Sisyphus Noah mentions is also ripe for speculation, especially since the only hint we've gotten is that he had been in a similar situation to Noah's. The two biggest suggestions fans have come up with include Kevin Haas (due to Firebrand mentioning that "the dark times" would bring him) and Robert Asher (due to being confirmed to still be alive somehow).

** Speaking of bad dubs, the voice actors' dialogue for the news reporters in "Facade" glaringly contrasts with the mouth movements of the actual people shown onscreen. The fact that the main anchor has a remarkably young voice that's supposedly coming out of a 40-50 something year old man's body just makes this worse.

** In Facade, Noah avoids taking the pill Kevin offers him by...throwing a water bottle and loudly shouting "YEET!" at him. Stupid? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely. Still somehow awesome? You bet your ass.

* CompleteMonster: [[AbusiveParents Mary Asher]] is Milo's [[EvilMatriarch mother]] who was haunted by the Administrator as a child and lived in fear of her future death. Once a member of the Administrator-worshipping cult called the [[ReligionOfEvil Order]], she killed her two ex-husbands. The whole reason she had Milo in the first place was to [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] him to Slenderman in her place; she also tried to conceive more children as [[OffingTheOffspring extra sacrifices]]. Milo's journal elaborates more on this; she groomed and indoctrinated Milo into the Order, having them drink his blood; would use drugs and {{gaslighting}} to try to keep him in line, using physically aggressive methods at the slightest resistance; she also self-harms to get Milo institutionalized and implies she will have his beloved cat put down to punish him for standing up to her. Her methods to kill her family include setting her sister's house on fire while her young nephew Noah was asleep, burning his babysitter alive; helped bomb and capsize a boat dozens of people were on, killing her mother and another young nephew of hers in the process. Mary [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist claims]] to be a victim trying to protect her family, but both Noah and Milo see right through her as a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] coward willing to sacrifice her family to ensure her own survival.
