* MorePopularSpinoff: Of ''Black Tapes''. While both have their fans and crossover between the fandoms exist, ''TANIS'' helped flesh out TheVerse and even got greenlit for a TV series.

* AngstWhatAngst: Nic is rather blase about [[spoiler: getting roofied and nearly sexually assaulted by two female cultists]], not to mention whatever they'd have likely done if/when he lost consciousness. His lack of reaction becomes even more weird when we later learn that [[spoiler:he was abducted as a child and held in a dark room by someone heavily hinted to be a child molester.]]
* AntiClimax: Nathaniel Carter is built up as someone of extreme significance and possibly an antagonist, given how Cameron Ellis adamantly refuses to give Nic any information on him and emphatically claims he's not "someone [Nic] wants to meet", as well as Nic's extended investigation into Carter's background, his mental breakdown, and connection to the Parzevela industrial complex. In the last two episodes of Season 2, the Complex is burned down but Nathaniel is alive and claims to be the mysterious Navigator... [[spoiler:and gets himself killed in the season finale because it turns out he wasn't]].
* ChrisCarterEffect: Most of [[https://www.reddit.com/r/PNWS/ the subreddit]] feels TANIS has devolved into this, with more and more subplots and mysteries introduced but never resolved or tied together.
* DenserAndWackier: Of a sort, in comparison to Podcast/TheBlackTapes - The Black Tapes deliberately skirt the line of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane by having one of their main characters act as TheSkeptic at all times. TANIS have repeated incidents that if true (as Nic can be slightly prone to being an UnreliableNarrator due to Tanis related SanitySlippage) defy all scientific explanation.
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: A bonus episode makes it clear that [[Podcast/TheBlackTapes Dr Strand]] won't ever appear in TANIS, in spite of other major Black Tapes character Alex having a supporting role.
