- Curse Cut Short: In Episode 6.Penelope: News flash, Mr. Narrator: we're six episodes in and we still don't love each other enough, and odds are, judging by this situation, we probably won't be.

- Meaningful Name: Really? Lilith Madlove? Who has that kind of name?
- Medium Awareness: In Episode 6, Joey complains about how the show started using a Fourth-Wall Mail Slot format instead. The Narrator changes it back.

- No Fourth Wall: A trademark of the series.
- Postmodernism: It's a completely self-aware series about the Yandere trope.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: Used by Joey in the Pilot and Penelope in Episode 6. The narrator seems to think Joey and Penelope are a couple.
- Shout-Out: Plenty...
- In Episode 1, Lily goes "Bingo! Bye bye!" after killing Penelope in an example. Later, in another example, she kills Joey, and it plays the death music from Kirby. Lily's Evil Laugh is from Rena Ryuugu.

- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Multiple examples...
- Episode 4 reveals why Joey can't merely just go Yandere for Lily.
- Episode 7 focuses on why fixing a Yandere is a bad idea.
- A literal Meta example:Comment: Why Joey doesn't kill her with a gun or something?
ThatOneMKFangirl: The narrator won't let him, since that would be "too easy". :P
- World of Snark: Every single character, from the narrator to the main character, is sarcastic. Lampshaded in Episode 8, where the Narrator actually suggests Penelope run away while Lily and Joey snark to each other.
- Yandere: Lily. The whole series plays with this trope.
