Tagline isn't played for drama, and the entry doesn't say how it's funny, just that it's cliche.

* Taking Clare seriously as the protagonist is very difficult due to how she's apparently so thick that she doesn't realize that the box might be killing people every time it grants a wish, with how her friends and relatives die ''every time'' soon after she makes a wish.
* When Clare finds out about her mother's suicide, she drops the bike she was riding near her house and runs inside. One TimeSkip later, Clare and her father still live in the same house, the grass is regularly cut, and the bike apparently hasn't been moved or touched since.
