Tropes present in The Registry of Middle School Crushes include:
- Cutting the Knot: The heist requires avoiding the dangers posed by the stairs to the Vault. Janice's solution is to take the elevator down.
- Literal Metaphor: The Trial of the Century really is the first trial in the past 100 years for Night Vale; it's extremely uncommon in Night Vale for a criminal to get tried before their punishment.
"Today's proverb: I had a dream in which cow-sized pugs existed. I was on a train, and one loped along outside my window. I’m sorry your dreams aren’t as good."
