* FiveSecondForeshadowing: The name of Stevonnie's account is the rather bland and generic "[=StevonnieAccount=]", especially for someone like Stevonnie. Stevonnie reveals near the end of the short that they actually dislike social media and made the account specifically for the ad, which explains the half-baked username.

* RunningGag: A minor case, each episode except "We Deserve to Shine" involves there being some sort of technical difficulty caused by one of the Gems.
** In the first installment, Jasper [[TrashTheSet trashes the set]] in a fit of anger over an offhand comment Amethyst makes.
** In the second, Sardonyx gets stuck in the door of Smoky Quartz's dressing room.
** In the fourth, Peridot levitates and shakes the camera using her ferrokinesis and ends up dropping it roughly.
** In the fifth, Bismuth takes the set apart and rebuilds it into an even better form to demonstrate her skills and accomplishments.

* FusionDance: Each duo except Pearl and Amethyst ends up fusing during the song. This is presumably due to a mix of Aimee Mann not being available for recording and the in-universe issue of Opal being too tall to fit into the studio.
* RomanticFusion: Garnet and Stevonnie, as per usual, are separately depicted as fusions of two people who are romantically in love.
* ShipTease: Amethyst and Pearl dance together during the filming, Pearl shows amusement at Amethyst's antics here and the two share a tender embrace after Amethyst assures Pearl that her performance was fine.

Pearl clearly states her comments as rhetorical, Bismuth just didn't get the overall point.

-->'''Jasper:''' How do you keep your cool like that? This is so much pressure!
-->'''Amethyst:''' Pressure made me who I am.
-->'''Jasper:''' Wow.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Jasper is the only character to star in the shorts who isn't a member or ally of the Crystal Gems at the time of the project's release.
* TrashTheSet: Jasper's HairTriggerTemper sets off, and she rips the place apart while Amethyst calmly continues her message.
