* AcceptableEthnicTargets: Asher typically is the recipient of a lot of jabs for being a preppy white boy.

** The night of the murder is called "The Night of the Flying Cheerleader" by EntertainmentWeekly recaps and fans of the show. Almost every episode in the first season features a cheerleader doing an air flip.

* FoeYay: Between Connor and Michaela since the beginning. For some fans, it's debatable if they had just VitriolicBestBuds vibes or weird BelligerentSexualTension (despite Connor is gay).
** Laurel and Frank too earlier. They're in an on/off relationship with BelligerentSexualTension.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Almost inevitable given the morality and themes of the show. By season 3, aside from [[spoiler:[[OneTruePairing Connor and Oliver]] breaking up]] right at the start of the season, every character has become, at least, a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, everyone spending almost all their time crying, screaming, turning against each other and suffering with nothing positive ever happening, with [[GenkiGirl Meggy]] leaving soon after being introduced and even Oliver becoming a darker and darker ALighterShadeOfGray. The fact that several characters do become apathetic jerkasses during the second half of the season makes it really hard to continue caring for the characters as if their TraumaCongaLine would get any better.

* TheWoobie: The Keating four are all victims of circumstance which have dug themselves deeper and deeper, which especially at the beginning was merely a result of them being in the wrong place at the wrong time and not necessarily of any choices they made.

** Non-fatal variant with [[spoiler:Simon. He was openly antagonistic to the protagonists for most of his time on the show, but just as he started to become somewhat sympathetic, he gets shot in a struggle over a gun, has said shooting framed as a suicide attempt, and upon recovering from his shooting, winds up deported to Pakistan. To make matters worse, Simon is gay, making his deportation a death sentence if anyone there were to find out.]]

* LesYay: In the event that they're all arrested, Connor offers to help Michaela achieve her first orgasm. Laurel immediately jumps in with "Back off, she's mine" and a wink. She even kissed the latter in Season 3 out of joy. And in Seson 4 even Asher was worried about this as they became closer and have secrets on her own.
