Tropes
- Clueless Mystery: The episode is a full mystery case where Logic tries to find a culprit, but the clues portrayed by the story are not enough for the viewers to solve the case on its own right until the end when characters and viewers find out who the culprit is at the same time.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: As part of Logic's Sherlock Scan of Thomas (see below), different hilarious descriptions appear on-screen that can only be read if pausing the video as the scene happens quickly.
- Heel Realization: When Logic discovers that he is the ultimate cause of Thomas' procrastination, he goes on a rant.Logic: But I've been helping to figure this out! I'm the cause of this, but I'm also the solution to a problem I have caused, and will inevitably resolve. Am I in a paradoxical loop where I endlessly generate a problem and try to solve it like a snake devouring its own tail in order to satiate its HUNGER?!
Thomas: Ok! Calm down time! It's a lot simpler than...whatever you're trying to say.
Anxiety: [horrified expression] That was dark, even for me... - Inconvenient Summons: When Logic summons Anxiety, he appears with an eye pencil in his hand, in the middle of touching up his eyeshadow.
- Insult Backfire: Anxiety called Princey "Sir Sing-a-lot" after Anxiety himself was called "Sunshine." Princey ended up using it for himself, though he misused the term and called himself "Sir Sing-a-long".
- Literal-Minded: Anxiety asks if he "can take a stab", to which Logan yells "WHO GAVE HIM A KNIFE!?"
- Malaproper: Logic says that there's an "infinitesimal" amount of things to talk about in this universe. He meant to say "really big", but "infinitesimal" actually means "really small".
- Never Lend to a Friend: Morality borrowed a dollar from Princey, and eight years later is when he gets it back.
- One-Liner: This line that Logic says to Morality perfectly summarizes in six words Logic's philosophy:Logic: Feelings. The bane of my existence.
- Plot Twist: Dad casually calls Logic as Logan for the first time while he's sinking down, and in doing so he introduces a new story arch that will last for the rest of the whole season: the Sanders Sides have names and we are to know them one by one.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Anxiety shows the first sign ever of softening up with one single line:Logan: Are you implying that Logic was not sound? Anxiety is the antagonist!
Anxiety: I'm not always the bad guy! - Schmuck Bait: Princey was clearly not happy when Logan pretended to spot a spider behind him, all just to help prove his point.
- Sherlock Scan: As part of the role-play, Logan does one on Thomas in the style of Sherlock.
- Shoutout: Logan cosplays as Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, with Dad as Watson.
- Spiders Are Scary: Logan tells Princey that he thinks there's a spider behind him. Princey jumps scared and runs away. Then he reluctantly returns to his place when Logan says he thinks he was wrong, but Princey still checks out if the spider is there, with a livid face of fear.
- Tomato in the Mirror: When Logan realizes the one causing Thomas' lack of motivation he's been hunting during "Losing My Motivation" is himself.
- Unwanted Assistance: Logan sees Dad as such:
- Unwitting Pawn: Dad is one of the causes of Thomas' procrastination because he's feeling lack of passion for projects. But he doesn't want to be the culprit of Thomas' lack of motivation.
