* GainaxEnding: ''Make Me Psychic'' ends with [[spoiler: Anita's psychic powers accidentally flooding Snozzy's house, causing her to toss the machine responsible for giving them to her out the window. The bizarre crow in a suit that had appeared throughout the short catches it and then walks off into outer space.]]

* SerialEscalation: Inverted. ''Make Me Pysychic'' is noticeably less surreal than ''Quasi at the Quackadero''. It's still ''very'' weird, but there isn't quite as much MindScrew and the plot is relatively easy to follow.

* AffectionatePickpocket: Anita uses dancing with Snozzy as an opportunity to swipe his wallet with her newfound powers in ''Make Me Psychic''.



* GoldDigger: It's made clear that a big part of the reason why Anita is attracted to Snozzy is that he's filthy rich. When they dance together during ''Make Me Psychic'' she uses her psychic powers to [[AffectionatePickpocket stealthily levitate his wallet out of his back pocket without him noticing]]. And this is ''before'' she becomes disgusted with [[HandsomeLech his behavior]].



* RealityWarper: Anita becomes this in ''Make Me Psychic'', being able to do such things as bringing inanimate objects to life

* ADayInTheLimelight: Anita is the main character of ''Make Me Psychic'', [[OutOfFocus with Quasi demoted to a supporting player]].



* DecoyProtagonist: Despite being the title character of the first short, Quasi isn't particularly more prominent than Anita is in it. He's also rather noticeably OutOfFocus in ''Make Me Psychic'', which, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen from what we see of it]], would have continued into the canceled ''Quasi's Cabaret'' movie.



* TheFool: Snozzy is described as such. He's carefree and confident, but ignorant and completely lacking in foresight. Quasi and Anita aren't too far off from this either.

The short revolves around "[[CallASmeerpARabbit ducks]]" named Quasi and Anita (the latter played by Cruikshank herself), and their pet robot Rollo as they visit the Quackadero, a strange place where the amusements revolve around time travel. Among the mad things that happen are an apparently fabricated "shining moment", five actors faking being past lives of Quasi, and the trio having their thoughts painted.

There is also a sequel called ''Make Me Psychic'', where Anita buys a device that can make matter obey her will. It's just as deranged.
