* AssholeVictim: Certain that Cartman is skankunt42 and playing up his pro-women stance in order to divert suspicion, the other boys lure him to a cabin to destroy all his electronics as punishment and to cut him off from going online. They discover when they get home that skankhunt42 was active the entire time they were off the grid, and Cartman was being entirely genuine. It was easy to come to that assumption given how much of an asshole he is (it doesn't quite fit his typical MO since he is not that devious and usually has a clear goal in mind), but they do feel sorry for what they did to him.

** Later in the episode, the boys talk as if they're gonna murder Cartman in the woods. When in actuality, they were just going to destroy his electronics and cut him off from the internet, believing he was skankhunt42 due to his past history of misogyny, racism, homophobia, love of upsetting people, and other general unpleasantness.

* BaitAndSwitch: After Heidi Turner gets trolled she walks to a bridge, types something on her phone, and the camera pans up as we hear a splash, implying she committed suicide. Turns out, she actually just quit Twitter and threw her phone in the river.
** Before the episode aired, many fans believed that Heidi actually ''was'' going to commit suicide, to show the effects of trolling.

* {{Cyberbullying}}: Gerald's online persona [=SkankHunt42=] is primarily a troll who harasses random groups of people for fun, but he dedicates extra time to Freja Ollegard, a Danish Olympic medalist and breast cancer survivor who takes down her website and personally denounces the trolling. After giving this statement, the trolls target Freja by sending questions to her on a talk show mocking her breast cancer. This eventually drives Freja to kill herself and kickstarts Denmark's national contempt for trolling.

** [=Skankhunt42=]'s pranks are pretty immature and dumb, even by {{Troll}} standards: mostly they come down to crudely Photoshopping penises into women's mouths. Nevertheless they're deemed newsworthy and are on the verge of creating an international incident.

* FelonyMisdemeanor: Skankhunt's trolling tactics are really very basic and silly, but the entire premise of the season thus far is treating it like a serious crime spree that the whole world is taking notice of.
