9	----
10	!!''The Blue Channel'' provides examples of:
11	* DeliberateVHSQuality: The videos are made to look like VHS recordings with windowboxing and grainy flickers.
12	* FacialHorror: In "THALASIN", when you experience some of the artificial emotions created by Thalasin+, your facial features twist into unnatural positions. Some emotions go even further into straight BodyHorror territory.
13	* FictionalDisability: In "THALASIN", the medication in question is the treatment of AED, Advanced Emotional Deterioration, which affects seven in ten adults.
14	* FreezeFrameBonus:
15	** At the end of "ＴＨＥ_ＢＬＵＥ_ＣＨＡＮＮＥＬ", a face shows up for a couple of frames.
16	** In "THALASIN", some of the Thalasin+ faces flicker by quickly.
17	* NothingIsScarier: "ＴＨＥ_ＢＬＵＥ_ＣＨＡＮＮＥＬ" is for most of its length a chipper commercial tune with nothing happening onscreen, leaving the viewer anxious for the scare. It happens at the end, when the TV experiences static and the audience gets a glimpse of an alien. "ＤＥＥＰ _ ＢＬＵＥ" is more sinister and provides a better look at the alien.
18	* SuddenSoundtrackStop: In "THALASIN", when the face of someone experiencing dorcelessness is shown, the background music suddenly cuts out, leaving only the faint sound of static as it lingers on the image for a few seconds. The same thing happens for the loric face, but with a shorter pause.
