You can watch it here.
Becky Prim has examples of:
- Abhorrent Admirer: Norville is this to Becky. All of his attempts to impress her backfire on him, and she openly states her repulsion of him.
- All for Nothing: By the end of the pilot, Becky and Ello finally get the bench to themselves- only for it to shatter underneath them.
- Black Comedy: The pilot is chock-full of this. Becky's death is played for laughs, as is every other horrible thing that happens to the cast, such as Norville's possession and Becky torturing Jesse.
- Crapsack World: The setting depicts a ruthless and apathetic high school in which the most popular girl commits violence against her fellow classmates and a student dies with little affair.Jesse: (to her friends) So, she wouldn't give me a stick of gum, so I tore off her eyelashes.
- Curse Cut Short: When Becky discovers Norville's Stalker Shrine after possessing his body:Becky: What the fu- (school bell ringing)
- Dissonant Serenity: Becky dying graphically in front of Jesse and her friends barely has an effect. Jesse merely stares vacantly as one of her friends says "ew" and another goes "oh my god." The only one with a semi-realistic reaction is Ello, and even then, no tears are shed.
- Even stranger, when a dead Becky approaches Ello in Norville's body a few days later, she doesn't even flinch, instead, seeming happy that her friend is back.
- The woman on the loud speaker mentions Becky's death in a matter-of-fact and emotionless tone, and there is barely a breath before she then announces what's for lunch that day.
- Fat Best Friend: Ello is Becky's, although its downplayed. Ello is a bit chubbier, but the only one who mentions it is Jesse, and when she riffs on Ello for eating butterscotch, Becky is quick to defend her.Becky: (shoves the candy back into Ello's mouth) Don't you spit that out, Ello. That is yours to enjoy!
- Five-Second Foreshadowing: Becky disses The Big Bang Theory on the grounds that she dislikes "overblown and unrealistic nerd stereotypes". Cue Norville.
- Foil: Becky and Jesse are this to each other. Both are teen girls in the same school, but while Becky is a gruff, cynical and an openly violent girl with a hidden soft side for her friend Ello, Jesse is upbeat, manic and passive-aggressive, but doesn't care about her Girl Posse in the slightest. To push this further, Becky never smiles while Jesse rarely frowns.
- Foreshadowing: When presented with his "pet bee", Becky smacks Norville's hand and tells him she's allergic, with the bee visibly surviving the hit. Later on, the same bee flies by and stings her, killing her.
- Girl Posse: Jesse's clique. Parodied, as the other two girls do nothing but parrot Jesse and appear to have no mind or independence of their own.
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Averted, kinda. Becky is the only character that smokes, and while she isn't a bad person, you'd be pressed to call her a good one, either. Notably, Ello and Jesse (the nicest character and the antagonist respectively) do not smoke.
- Grand Theft Me: Parodied. Becky returns from the dead and possesses Norville to get her revenge on Jesse's posse. Norville is far too happy about it, and Becky is disgusted once she's possessing him.
Ello: (looks around) Becky?
Becky: (In Norville's body) In the flesh. Or, a flesh. Not a very good one. Better not touch me.
Becky: (In Norville's body) In the flesh. Or, a flesh. Not a very good one. Better not touch me.
- Horrifying the Horror: Becky literally cut her way out of Purgatory after being accosted by grotesque ghosts and demonic spirits, and yet what really freaked her out was finding Norville's Stalker Shrine.
- Public Service Announcement: The pilot starts with Becky's class watching a very poorly made cartoon about a kid fighting a cigarette in a clearly ham-fisted metaphor for drug use. Which is then followed by Becky pulling out a cigarette and smoking it.
- Shout-Out:
- Betelgeuse, in snake form, is seen slithering in the background of Purgatory.
- The raccoon from Roadkill Redemption, another creation of Karl Hadrika, is also seen in Purgatory.
- Skewed Priorities: All over the place.
- Becky dies, and her first priority is to get revenge on the girls who took her bench at school.
- After her death, Norville cries out in grief - not because he was responsible for her death, but because she was so hot.
- While Becky has transported her to some alternate realm and transformed her from a tree to a bench, Jesse makes comments lamenting the loss of her two-inch waist, and when Becky sits on her, her biggest complaint is that Becky's jeans aren't designer.
- Take That!: While The Big Bang Theory isn't totally harped on, as Ello likes it, Becky has no love for Sheldon for being what she considers a Stereotypical Nerd. Ouija boards also get a knock.
- True Companions: Becky and Ello are this, When Jesse picks on Ello, Becky vehemently defends her, and when Becky dies, Ello is clearly grieving her, and is happy to see her again when Becky possesses Norville. Hell, half of the reason Becky comes back from the dead (aside from revenge on Jesse) is because she wants to chill on their bench and hang out with Ello again.
