!!This blog provides examples of:
*ClusterFBomb: Lampshaded: in [[http://0verhyped.com/2012/08/24/observed-weirdness-of-a-weblog/ "Observed Weirdness of a Weblog"]], in which Jaded wonders why his [=WordPress=] statistics show that many Google searches for porn have linked to his blog. He realized that his common use of a certain four-letter word was the cause.
*DarkAndTroubledPast: Heavily implied.
**Jaded once [[http://0verhyped.com/2012/04/08/when-did-red-octane-forget-they-make-rhythm-games/ mentioned]] his need to begin taking psychotic medications after attempting to strangle his brother.
*EasterEgg: The first image of almost every post links to something relevant to the topic (or [[JustForFun just entertaining]]).
*ElectricBoogaloo: His sequel to "Observed Weirdness of a Weblog" is subtitled none other than "Electric Boogaloo".
*IncrediblyLamePun

*LampshadeHanging: Common. Jaded once even [[TakeThatMe lampshades his own lampshade hanging]].
**His [[http://0verhyped.com/f-a-q/ FAQ]] is [[BetterThanABareBulb full]] of lampshades.
*SelfDeprecation: Common, especially with regard to his nearly non-existent audience.
