* OutOfFocus: Due to the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters ridiculously large cast in BFB]], characters tend to fall in and out of focus depending on the episode. Some characters, however, seem to get the short end of the stick no matter what.

* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: Episode 28, "B.F.B.: Back From Beginning," being one of the final challenges completed by the characters, with [[spoiler:the Announcer]] even returning.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything?: In beginning of BFB 4, Eraser pesters Bell about where her string is attached to, and quickly reaches the point where Eraser climbs up Bell’s string to find where it’s connected to. This scene parallels most child molestation incidents. Which is especially jarring in a world of animate objects.

* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: Episode 28, "B.F.B.: Back From Beginning," being one of the final challenges completed by the characters, with [[spoiler:the Announcer]] even returning. However, it is not the final challenge.

** 31 also could qualify. The first three seasons have 31 contestants and 31 episodes in total and a new episode is released each month, roughly 31 days.

--->'''Four:''' You're- ''you'll throw them a party?!'' I tried to get ''seven'' of you to throw me a party, ''and only two you did!'' And yes, Lollipop's party was the best of all time.\\

** Despite Match's FreudianExcuse and relatively sincere apology, Bubble does not immediately forgive her as well for verbally pressuring and demoting her in the eighth challenge.* EjectTheLoser: Four absorbs the eliminated contestants. After the split, eliminated contestants are sent to [[spoiler:the Big Rotating Building (BRB), where they are spun around in cages high above the ground.]]

** Beep was assembled by Leafy as a group of people who needed assistance. Obviously, they suck at challenges,[[note]]They lost 3 times in the first 9 episodes, and never finished a challenge in first place. [[/note]][[spoiler:especially without Leafy]].
** During the first challenge, iance's strategy is to jump repeatedly in order to reach a basket. Unlike most instances where cartoon physics come into play, this doesn’t work, [[spoiler: and they end up losing the challenge]].

** EasilyForgiven does not come into play here [[spoiler:when Bell scorns Taco for using her in the sixth challenge and refuses to accept her apologies no matter what she says]].

** [[spoiler:When X is found inside of Fries after seemingly being absorbed into Donut, he becomes the temporary host. Before that, however, he only played the role of co-host, and as such, he’s very nervous and shy when trying to host, making occasional mistakes and fretting over them, and failing to properly explain the challenge to BEEP.]]
** [[spoiler:In BFB 22, Firey and Leafy finally make peace, and hug it out. Of course, Firey is made of, well, fire, and Leafy is a leaf, so Leafy ends up burning to ash, much to Firey's horror. Later in TheStinger, they hug again with the exact same results, and Firey tells himself to stop.]]

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Subverted in BFB 20, "A Taste of Space". The Have Cots immediately [[RealityEnsues begin to suffocate]] after Gelatin breaks the plastic wrap windows. Luckily, Four gives them air for the Cake and Stake and this trope is PlayedStraight due to the fact that the Have Cots were able to stand on the surface of the sun itself! Although Lollipop does begin to melt.

* RealityEnsues: For a show with anthropomorphic objects and screwy logic, this trope comes to play surprisingly more often in BFB.

** [[spoiler:After Four gets absorbed into him, Donut ends up taking over as the show’s temporary host. However, since he’s only a contestant with little experience in the competition (as he was eliminated first in BFDIA), things become noticeably more disorganized. Under his control, two teams are trapped on the moon and several contestants are (temporarily) killed off. While Four can reassemble and recover the contestants with ease, Donut cannot immediately undo any damage caused, and [[PowerIncontinence accidentally mutilates Naily when he tries to recover her]]. Even if you end up gaining reality-bending powers like Four, you don’t immediately master them. Also, while he punishes Free Food for cheating in the challenge, he has no problem giving his own team questions that only they would know the answer to. ]]

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: [[spoiler:The Announcer to Four without even trying. After coming back, he immediately retakes control of the show from Four and X, tells them they did a poor job running it and lost all control, and gets Four to commit suicide just to stay on the show as "a constant presence".]]

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While every contestant and their mother qualifies, the hosts are much more exaggerated examples. It's UpToEleven with 4, who is almost an EldritchAbomination in their own right.

* AbortedArc: While the drama between Firey and Leafy is carried over post-split from the finale up to BFDIA 5a, on the other hand, the story arc of Leafy becoming [[TheSociopath a sociopath]] intent on murdering anyone who dare tried to kill her in the finale is dropped as soon as BFB 1 begins, with Leafy on good terms with the Season 1 veterans save Firey, and she's no longer coated in Yoyle metal.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In BFB 1, the voting music is used outside of its context - in a scene with iance, [[spoiler: who went up for elimination in that episode.]] In BFB 27's stinger has a ufo sound and then in BFB 28 [[spoiler: Announcer returns]]

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The official character guide for the show, released by Scholastic, does not contain any direct mentions of characters killing other characters. The closest they get is a mention of Woody being "pricked" by Naily.

* UnfortunateName: Firey decides to name his team "The Losers", because it has Loser in it. [[spoiler: When Loser is eliminated, the name's validity significantly drops.]]

** The Have Cots visit the warehouse from BFB 21, where they find the "Purple Do Not Open" box, which reveals [[spoiler:Purple Face, who first appeared in BFDI 24, who ends up eating the Have Cots.]]

** In BFB 29:

** In BFB 30:
-->'''X:''' Oh! Well, back in the day, [[spoiler:BFDI was his (Four's) favorite show.]]

-->'''X:''' Oh! Well, back in the day, [[spoiler:BFDI was his favorite show.]]

*** In BFB 30:

*** Later in the same episode, revealing the purpose of the BFDI:

-->'''X:''' Oh! Well, back in the day, [[spoiler;BFDI was his favorite show.]]

-->'''Announcer:'''It looked like an end to BFDI, but I wanted it to continue, budget or not. [[spoiler:I fixed myself back up and returned to Earth.]]
-->'''Taco:'''Wait, you were on earth all along?
-->'''Announcer:'''Be quiet, i'm telling my story. I wanted BFDI to continue. [[spoiler:I contacted TV to put together the voting for a new season.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Announcer]]:''' Hey guys. [[spoiler;I'm back.]]
