** During [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E26StevensBirthday "Steven's Birthday"]], Ronaldo posts that you should never celebrate on your actual birthday, [[TheParanoiac least you suffer from identity theft]].

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In his blog post that followed the start of the Summer of Steven, Ronaldo lists such bizarre phenomena as "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E2GemDrill Mysterious earthquakes]], [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E5HItTheDiamond UFO sightings]], and [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E1SuperWatermelonIsland chunks of fruit salad washing up on the beach]]." [[DramaticIrony If you know more than Ronaldo]], that last one [[AlienBlood is probably the most alarming]].

* TerrorDactyl: PlayedForLaughs in [[http://keepbeachcityweird.tumblr.com/post/84396570536/terror-dactyl a post name-dropping this trope]] where Ronaldo's amateur drawing of a [[WeaponizedAnimal Pterodrone (Pterodactyl Drone)]] includes a ''Ludodactylus''-esque head (''Pteranodon'' crest alongside teeth), pointed wings, back claws that can carry around objects, no pteroid bone, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers missiles and a camera]].

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** The section of "Local Weirdness" includes mascot costumes turned into fry-spewing monstrosities, people suddenly breathing fire, and pink lions, but the last section is solely dedicated to [[CreepyChild Onion]].
** Most of "things to brood about" list are incredibly inane, like [[invoked]][[OvertookTheManga your favorite anime catching up to the manga]] or your favorite fast food item being discontinued. The last one is simply "[[LoveHurts love]]".

* AstralProjection: [[https://keepbeachcityweird.tumblr.com/post/65734119109/astral-projections-on-the-boardwalk Astral projection blog post says]] is used by "shamans, witches and even [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the 32nd President]] of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt". Ronaldo attempted to project his mind by staring at a ketchup jar and believes he succeeded. What seems to have actually happened is he left work, walked around with no one talking to him because he's unpopular, then he passed out when he returned to the shop because he left the gas on.

* EarAche: Ronaldo was listening to a cranked up microphone for [[ElectromagneticGhosts EVP recordings]] when the gem monster from [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E7BubbleBuddies "Bubble Buddies"]] started an earthquake with its [[MakeMeWannaShout screams]]. He ended up hospitalized several days for "scabby ears".

* PteroSoarer: PlayedForLaughs in [[http://keepbeachcityweird.tumblr.com/post/84396570536/terror-dactyl a post]] where Ronaldo's amateur drawing of a [[WeaponizedAnimal Pterodrone (Pterodactyl Drone)]] includes a ''Ludodactylus''-esque head (''Pteranodon'' crest alongside teeth), pointed wings, back claws that can carry around objects, no pteroid bone, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers missiles and a camera]].

* ShoutOut: [[http://keepbeachcityweird.tumblr.com/post/79975170759/a-sky-full-of-g-u-y-s The B.O.Y.S. toys]] that Ronaldo shows include Big Boy, [[Music/KanyeWest American Boy]], [[Music/BeastieBoys Beastie Boy]] and [[Literature/TheOutsiders Ponyboy]].

* NoPronunciationGuide:
** Ronaldo expresses rage "at a world that doesn't know how to pronounce 'manga'".
** When speaking of Peridot's emergency broadcast, Ronaldo tries to bring up the dual pronunciations of "peridot", [[ComicallyMissingThePoint not understanding that plain text conveys neither pronunciation]].

In it, he tells about his insane theories as to what's been causing various strange happening around Beach City (that were actually caused by the Crystal Gems) as well as largely unrelated ramblings on everything supernatural and conspiratorial.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: ''The No Home Boys'' author was named Dustylegs Jefferson.

An entry was made for most episodes in the first three seasons, generally related to events or thematically to the plot, and released shortly after that episode airs. A book based on the blog, titled ''Keep Beach City Weird: You Can't Hide the Truth!!!'' was released in April 2017. An advertisement for said book is currently the most recent post on the blog, as Burnett and Levin left the show around that time to begin production on ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'', which they created.
