4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6
7	* AnthropomorphicFood: Most of the characters from ''Crying Breakfast Friends''. The enemies, the Angry Lunch Enemies, are a hamburger, toast, and a pizza slice.
8	* AudienceSurrogate: Steven serves as this, though he has more context than the audience does about ''Breakfast Friends''.
9	* BlandNameProduct: The Dolphin games on Steven's back wall correspond to real-life Platform/GameCube games, including ''[[VideoGame/MetalGear Steel Cog]]'', ''[[VideoGame/Pikmin2 Pikemen 2]]'', ''[[VideoGame/RogueSquadron Star Battlers: Team Leader]]'', ''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Lue's Estate]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Smash Pals Scuffle]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/EternalDarkness Forever Darkness]]''.
10	* EvilCounterpart: The Angry Lunch Enemies seem to be this to the Crying Breakfast Friends.
11	* FusionDance: Breakfast and lunch become brunch.
12	* IKnewIt: In-universe, Steven had a theory about the lunch enemies that gets confirmed in this episode.
13	* InelegantBlubbering: Pear when no one comes to their breakfast party. Turns out they just arrived late.
14	* ItMakesSenseInContext: Steven's watching an episode where the Angry Lunch Enemies want to clear out the Breakfast Friends, since two meals can't exist at the same time. Apparently, an episode that has a Brunch FusionDance counts as a WhamEpisode.
15	* LamePunReaction: Steven stayed off the internet so he wouldn't "get... ''spoiled'', because they're food!" He then apologizes for using the same joke from the previous week.
16	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Continuing the thread of ''Crying Breakfast Friends'' being the ''Steven Universe'' FictionalCounterpart for [[SelfParody itself]], Steven's concerns parody those of the show's own fans, including making theories, worrying about spoilers, getting excited about new Fusions, and not knowing when new episodes will come out; and the episode itself showcases a ''Steven Universe'' staple, resolving conflicts by befriending the enemy instead of fighting them. Steven also winks at the audience when talking about ''Breakfast Friends''[='=] hiatus.
17	* MundaneMadeAwesome: A FusionDance to make brunch.
18	* ReactionVideo: Steven reacts to the newest episode of ''Crying Breakfast Friends''.
19	* ScheduleSlip:[[invoked]] Apparently, ''Crying Breakfast Friends'' suffers from this, since Steven doesn't know when the next episode will air.
20	-->'''Steven:''' I can't wait until the next episode, whenever that is, am I right?
21	* SelfDeprecation: The short makes fun of several aspects of ''Steven Universe'' itself, especially its infamous ScheduleSlip[[invoked]].
22	* SelfParody: "[[Creator/RebeccaSugar Samantha Pepper]]" is apparently the creator of ''Crying Breakfast Friends'', and the storyboarders of the episode were "[[FunWithHomophones Geoff]] Lao" and "[[{{Spoonerism}} Howard Collins]]".
23	* ShowWithinAShow: ''Crying Breakfast Friends'', which Steven reacts to.
24	* {{Squee}}: This is Steven's reaction to the Brunch FusionDance.
25	* TakeThatAudience: Albeit done in an affectionate way; Steven is every blind commentator on Platform/YouTube or Platform/{{Vimeo}}; he sings along to the theme song, cries with the sad moments, shows relief on seeing "conflict resolved!", and is happy that his "lunch" theory is confirmed.
26	* TearsOfJoy: Steven sheds these when Pear's friends reveal that they did come to Pear's party, they just arrived late and proceeded to beg Pear's forgiveness for it.
27	* WhamEpisode: InUniverse, Steven says that this episode of ''Breakfast Friends'' is supposed to be "big". The big thing is that the Lunch Enemies appear, and they and the Breakfast Friends come together to become brunch.
