--> '''Roger''': You know, a lot of my girlfriends ask me what I see in you, Mr. J. Why I stick by you when you treat me like this. And I say "listen girls, [[JustifiedTrope he's hypnotized me with his glowing red eyes.]]"

!!Tropes related to ''You Are Here'':
* CrazyJealousGuy: Roger acts this way towards Steve when Mr. Javitz starts taking an interest in him, even though Steve doesn't want to be Javitz's minion.
* LoveMartyr: Roger acts this way towards Mr. Javitz, behaving more like a spurned/abused partner than a minion when Javitz starts taking an interest in Steve. He even gets a musical number about it.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Mr. Javitz has glowing red eyes, which are the source of his MindControl powers. He successfully roped Roger into his schemes by getting him to look in them, and he tries to do the same to Steve.
* TheReveal: Several.
** Mr. Javitz, Roger's mysterious, conspicuously-absent boss, is a warlock. Roger works for him because of a powerful MindControl (from Javitz's "glowing red eyes"), and his mission is to feed souls to the mall fountain, which he must do every twenty-five years.
** All the shop owners that Steve encounters are souls who have been trapped in the mall, who try to scare living patrons away by running terrible businesses. When their souls have been trapped for long enough, they turn into mannequins.
* ShoutOut: At one point, Roger refers to Mr. Javitz as Mr. J, [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn much like how another lovelorn minion refers to their boss.]]
