!!'''Tropes which apply to Anna Akana and her videos''':!!'''Pretty Girls Don't Trope:



* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: During the Victorian flashback sequence from "The War on Masturbation".
--> '''Doctor Anna''': Does it seem implausible that my sperm is made up of tiny microscopic men? That digging holes in the ground leads to rain? That blowing tobacco up the butthole heals, especially in reviving drowning victims?



* BreakingTheFourthWall: In "The War on Masturbation", Victorian-Anna says she hates the 19th century after receiving bizarre and unhelpful advice from her doctor.



** She often takes on male roles in her advice videos, although sometimes she gives them to her brother or her boyfriend instead.

to:

** She often takes on male roles in her advice videos, videos usually accompanied by wearing a gag mustache, although sometimes she gives them to her brother or her boyfriend instead.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDreadedToiletDuty: "The shittiest day of my life" revolves around Anna's roommate clogging the toilet and leaving out rain boots by the bathroom door hoping it would cover up the smell. Anna goes into the bathroom with a mask and cleaning supplies and grossed out, exclaims...
--> ''"'''I'M CLEANING SOMEONE'S SHIT!!'''"


Added DiffLines:

* GirlsWithMoustaches: Anna very often wears a fake mustache when taking on male roles in her videos.


Added DiffLines:

* LadySwearsALot: This was most common in her earliest works, where Anna was noted for having a dirty mouth skilled in the art of VulgarHumor, which is most prominently displayed in "Screw You" and her IntercourseWithYou performance at the Ice Box in 2012 about sodomy with a woman's father. Her vulgarity became toned down as time went on and she aimed to produce more serious life advice videos than being solely comedic, but it still pops up from time to time.


Added DiffLines:

* NaiveEverygirl: PlayedWith as Anna's videos are marketed more toward adults looking back on their teenage years, but whenever Anna flashes back to her early adolescence, she plays a clueless and ingenious young girl with an innocent fashion consisting of [[PubescentBraces braces]], [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]] and colorful overalls complete with a ValleyGirl lisp. In "3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Having Sex" recounting entering her sexual awakening only with the knowledge that she had from anime porn, reading her mother's romance novels, and the few images that were up online during the dialup internet era.


Added DiffLines:

** Her newest videos now omit a sign-off catchphrase entirely and instead have her talking about her video's sponsorships before a simple "bye".

* IronicNurseryTune: Her song "Against the Darkness", a rap from the perspective of her talking to her late little sister, ends with her coldly narrating a grim variation on the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" nursery rhyme that instead has the spider drowning itself in the rain from the water spout. [[NightmareFuel It's very disturbing.]]
* KindheartedCatLover: Anna has five cats which she seems to spoil rotten, and often features in her videos. However, she refuses to call herself a CrazyCatLady.
