!!The short contains the following tropes: (4/56)
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite the bickering and fighting throughout the entire short, which worsened the longer they stay TrappedInTVLand, both Bloo and Trevor are clearly upset and in tears when the former has no choice but to break up after [[LoveCannotOvercome realising their relationship is beyond saving]].
