History Recap / AmericanHorrorStoriesS1E4TheNaughtyList

* AsianAirhead: A rare male example - Wyatt, who is Asian, is vain and easily the most dimwitted of the group.

* KarmaHoudini: By the end, the SerialKiller is still on the streets, ready to kill [[HereWeGoAgain yet another mall Santa]] and other possible victims.

* DudeNotFunny: The reaction to the social media influencers trying to profit off of a man killing himself puts the their channel into a tailspin.

* AssholeVictim: All of the bros in the Bro House, with Barry being the least awful. It's difficult to feel ''too'' bad for them when they're violently murdered. Tellingly, the Bro House members seem to be murdered in order from most to least douchey— first Wyatt, then Zinn, then James and then lastly Barry.

* FauxYay: Zinn comes up with the idea of putting on homoerotic displays in their videos, thinking it will attract YaoiFangirls. It doesn’t work, as they go way over the top with both their displays of "affection" and their repeated HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday, but mostly because being gay or bisexual has nothing to do with ''posting someone's suicide online''.

* MythologyGag: Barry becoming distracted by social media to the point where he forgets to run for his life is reminiscent of the scene in the ''[[Series/ScreamQueens2015 Scream Queens]]'' pilot where Music/ArianaGrande's character uses her phone to ''text and tweet for help'' rather than make a potentially-lifesaving phone call.

** Barry is hit with this before catching fire. He is overjoyed that Bro House hits their 5 million sub goal, failing to realize that the house is on fire.

* FauxYay: Zinn comes up with the idea of putting on homoerotic displays in their videos, thinking it will attract YaoiFangirls.

* HypocriticalHumor: Barry reveals that the family of the man whose suicide Bro House filmed are due to address the matter at a press conference. Wyatt calls them "attention whores."

* OnlySaneMan: Barry is the only member of the group who seems to understand how appalling Bro House's content is, although he is still pressured into going along with it.

* VillainHasAPoint: "Santa" returns the Bro House's transgressions with violence, but... it's difficult to feel ''too'' bad for them.

* EveryoneHasStandard: When the Bros premiere the suicide video at their Christmas party, the guests are disgusted and walk out.

* SocialMediaBeforeReason: All the occupants of the Bro House suffer from this, going so far as to film someone's suicide rather than call police or try to help.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear whether this Santa is just a Christmas-themed serial killer or the actual mythological basis for Santa. At the very least, he has [[SuperStrength strength enough to twist a man's head around 180 degrees with his bare hands until his spine pops out of his neck,]] and the Christmas tree he leaves behind at the end hints at the latter interpretation.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. Wyatt is the first of the Bro House to die.

** Also shared by their followers, who believe the gory murders of the Bro House to be a prank (or just don't care) even when Barry begs for help; and keep sharing the videos.
