* ContinuityNod: The cover of the issue reporting on Hitler's death had his face crossed out with a big red X against a plain white background. Then with the surrender of Japan months later, the cover had a big black X over the red Rising Sun over the same background, in effect forming the Japanese flag. Decades later, the issue reporting the fall of Baghdad during the Iraq War had the big red X over Saddam Hussein's face, months before he was captured. Years later, Iraqi Al-Qaeda leader Al-Zarqawi got the red X after his death. Then Osama bin Laden. The most recent usage of the big X is for 2020—''the year 2020''.

* MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial: The only women to specifically win the "Person of the Year" election have been "The Whistleblowers" (Cynthia Cooper, Coleen Rowley and Sherron Watkins, in 2002) and Melinda Gates (jointly with Bill Gates and Bono, in 2005), German chancellor Angela Merkel (2015), and 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg (2019). Before that, four women were granted the title as individuals, as "Woman of the Year" – Wallis Simpson (1936), Soong May-ling (1937), Queen Elizabeth II (1952) and Corazon Aquino (1986). "American Women" were recognized as a group in 1975. Other classes of people recognized comprise both men and women, such as "Hungarian Freedom Fighters" (1956), "U.S. Scientists" (1960), "The Inheritors" (1966), "The Middle Americans" (1969), "The American Soldier" (2003), "You" (2006) and "The Protester" (2011, represented on the cover by a woman).

* CreatorProvincialism: Despite trying to maintain a cosmopolitan image and being read across the entire world the magazine sometimes focuses too much on topics that only Americans would consider to be interesting.
** Since 1996 most people elected to be "Person of the Year" have been Americans. The magazine even went so far to name "The American Soldier" "Person of 2003", despite the fact that the Americans weren't the only troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. So far, the only exceptions have been Irishman Bono (2005), Russian Vladimir Putin (2007), Italian-Argentinian Pope Francis (2013), German Angela Merkel (2015), Swede Greta Thunberg (2019), and Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy (2022), not counting general winners like "You" (2006) and "The Protester" (2011).
** When ''Time'' tried to elect the "Person of the Century" in 1999 there was criticism that too many names were Americans, and not only that, some of them were solely important to the U.S.A. itself, not the world in general.
