* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: Hurlan's father tricks Hambrosia's husband into opening his booby-trapped casket, killing him. Heartshe is sentenced to 're-death' by electric chair, which reanimates his corpse, allowing him to take back control of the town. Meemaw passes away but seems to have taken over Hambrosia's body. Hurlan tearfully crawls back into the hole in the wall from where he came]]. Although this ending is not that bizarre given the general atmosphere of the show.

** And the third season, after spending the entire season foreshadowing a mass apocalyptic event? [[spoiler: 11 whole minutes of the Sheriff and his alternate universe counterpart, as well as a bunch of other characters never seen before and ''their'' alternate universe counterparts, watching President Carter's State of the Union address on two different TV screens, one a couple seconds later than the other. And that's the most sane way of describing it.]]

* NegativeContinuity: Thanks to [[spoiler: all the alternate realities]] don't expect much that happens to have a long-term effect. Even [[spoiler: within the same realities]] people can shoot themselves and be just fine by the next episode. Considering the [[AnyoneCanDie amount of death]] on this show, that's probably a good thing for the characters.

* AnythingThatMoves: Hurshe will do anything, including [[BestialityIsDepraved animals]]. She also gets turned on by nearly everything, including the prospect of Afterlife revenge on her father (right before hanging herself, she shouts "I'm coming for you, Daddy!" Then, in a more seductive voice after putting the noose around her neck, "I'm [[JizzedInMyPants comin']], Daddy) and even ''the non-existence of God''.

* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Taken up to a thousand. Not only do Boss Hoss's video's manage to hold lengthy conversations with people, but he even responds to knowledge and events that he couldn't possibly have known about before death, but reacts to them with appropriate surprise. He seems to know when people have left the room, or if someone has entered the room while he's speaking to Hurlan, including who the person is and what they're saying. At one point he chides his daughters for leaving the room without turning off the TV, and holds up his own remote that somehow turns the TV off. He also makes alternate video tapes in case his various plans are foiled, and somehow receives oral sex despite being a face on a TV screen.

** WordOfGod from Scott Adsit seems to confirm the Multiverse effect. Adsit was recast in the role of the Sheriff, and speaking in an interview along with Amy Sedaris (who was recast as Hurshe in Season 2), he said: "I also like the idea that each new season is in a different realm of reality and so in the new realm that Patton’s character (Hurlan) has wandered into, Kristen now looks like Amy." [http://splitsider.com/2014/12/getting-dark-and-weird-with-amy-sedaris-and-scott-adsit/ (link)] That is, this ''is not'' a case where the audience is supposed to pretend that Hurshe always looked like Amy Sedaris. Season 1, set in Universe 1, contained a Hurshe who looks like Kristen Schaal. Season 2 is set in Universe 2, where Hurshe looks like Amy Sedaris. They're two separate but similar characters.

From PFFR, the creators of ''Series/WonderShowzen'', ''Series/{{Delocated}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/XavierRenegadeAngel'', ''The Heart, She Holler'' is a live-action {{Series}} on Creator/AdultSwim, which started as a 2011 miniseries (though it only totaled 66 minutes). Described as a "SouthernGothic drama," the show chronicles the machinations of the Heartshe family after the death of their patriarch, the mayor of the town of [=HeartShe=] Holler, "holler" being a Southern colloquial version of "hollow". A second season came out in 2013, and a third the following year; this third season had an overarching plot about an approaching event called [[ArcWords the Comening,]] which could destroy the Holler, and maybe [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the world]].
