23
24	!Tropes
25
26	* AnachronicOrder: The episode flips between Sam fighting a pair of clowns, and Sam and Dean investigating their current case sixty hours earlier.
27	* CallBack: Sam's fear of clowns. [[PreviouslyOn The Road So Far]] showed scenes from [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E02EverybodyLovesAClown an episode]] that aired ''five years'' prior to this one.
28	* ContinuityNod: Dean decides to forgo sex for a while, after what happened [[Recap/SupernaturalS07E13TheSliceGirls the last time]].
29	-->'''Dean:''' ''You'' spawn a monster baby, see how quick ''you'' want to dive back in the pool.
30	** "[[Recap/SupernaturalS06E09ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve Leprechauns are deadly]]."
31	* BreatherEpisode
32	* BrickJoke: From [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E13HousesOfTheHoly "Houses of the Holy" (S02, E13)]]: "You know, there's a ton of lore on {{unicorn}}s, too. In fact, I hear that they ride silver moonbeams and shoot rainbows out their ass!" The unicorn that appears in this episode does, in fact, have rainbows coming out of its ass. No silver moonbeams ridden, though.
33	* DisproportionateRetribution
34	* TheEndOrIsIt: The toy clown Dean gives to Sam winks at the camera.
35	* {{Filler}}
36	* FreudianExcuse: The villain blames [[ParentalNeglect his parents]] for letting his brother die.
37	* GoodCopBadCop: Sam does this without the "Good Cop" part.
38	* GoshDangItToHeck: The villain calls someone a "b-word".
39	* HehHehYouSaidX: "Ball washer."
40	* HeKnowsTooMuch
41	* HowWeGotHere
42	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The second victim thinks he escaped the homicidal unicorn, only to get impaled through a fence by the unicorn's horn.
43	* MagicalClown
44	* MistakenForPedophile: Discussed. Dean fears this will happen to him since he's at Plucky's seemingly by himself.
45	-->'''Dean:''' Guy in his thirties hanging out at Plucky's alone--that's normal. That's not pervy at all.
46	* MonsterClown
47	* MushroomSamba: One employee mentions smoking 'shrooms in the ball pit.
48	* NightmareFuel: InUniverse: The robotic greeter.
49	* RedHerring
50	* ShoutOut:
51	** "We don't care that you [[Series/BreakingBad broke bad]], or whatever."
52	** [[Creator/DiscoveryChannel Shark Week]].
53	** [[Film/{{Predator}} "If it bleeds, you can kill it."]]
54	* SurvivalMantra:
55	** "If it bleeds, you can kill it."
56	** And another from Sam at the end of the episode: "Getting my ass kicked by those [[Music/InsaneClownPosse Juggalos]] tonight, it was...therapeutic."
57	* SuckECheeses: The titular pizza parlor. Sam used to be dropped off there when he and Dean were younger, and it appears to be the source of his fear of clowns.
58	* TheToothHurts: Sam knocks one of the clowns' teeth out.
59	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: {{Invoked}}. The victims are getting killed by the kids' worst fears.
60	** For Sam, it's still clowns. And two of them beat the crap out of him, so that could have made it worse. He says it helped, but...
61	* YouKnowWhatYouDid: Sam as part of his "Bad Cop" routine.
