Line 57:
** Particularly tense episodes like Entry #23 are usually then followed by more low-key ones.
** [[Hell Hotel|The hotel arc]] was much more slow paced and peaceful than the end of season one, leading up to the more intense scares as the second season progressed.
** Entry #47 is this in spades, with no Operator, no masked men, and next-to-no distortion, while in Entry #48, the Operater (possibly) appears for a brief second. They do lead up to a big [[Wham! Episode]] in Entry #49.
** Entry #53 doesn't have any particular scares in it, but just sets up the next season of the story.
** #55 likewise lacks any real scares.
Line 199:
*** Most notably, we hear him coughing at the end of Entry #56 {{spoiler|after Alex attacks him and leaves him for dead}}. In Entry #57, {{spoiler|which takes place immediately after}}, he's coughing violently throughout the whole entry. {{spoiler|It also explains how he wound up in the abandoned building in Entry #51}}.
*** In #58, he starts coughing just as strange stuff starts happening to him and Jay in the hospital.
* [[ItsIt's for A Book]]: Jay's explanation for having a camera strapped to him in Entry #28:
{{quote| '''Jay:''' I'm, uh, shooting -- shooting a documentary.<br />
'''Jessica:''' Oh? What's it about?<br />
Line 265:
* [[Ominous Save Prompt]]: Jay's eerily timed uploading of Entry #32 before going into Jessica's room.
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]:
** When typing about himself, Jay is usually just called J. Could be a [[Shout -Out]] to [[The Simpsons]].
** Also an example by the fandom, if the interview on their alternate channel is anything to go by. It's 'The Operator', not Slender Man.
* [[Only One Name]]: Save for Alex Kralie, no last names are given. Jay stated his (to Jessica) once, but muted the sound afterward.
Line 293:
* [[Seeker Archetype]]: Jay. At first he just watched out of curiosity, but his focus quickly changed to trying to find out what was going on, and eventually he settled on the goal of finding Alex. This Twitter post indicates he may have been becoming obsessed.
{{quote| '''Jay:''' Looking through some surveillance footage. Not sure what I'll find. I feel like I just have know one more time what's been going on.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: In Entry #51, Alex says that the footage is to be from the main character's old elementary school that burned down, which is the premise of the entry "I'm Okay" in [[Everyman HYBRID]].
* [[Slender Man Mythos]]: It was/is the first video series featuring Slender Man (although they like to call him the Operator). Can be credited with a large portion of the mythos' popularity.
* [[Slow Walk]]: In Entry #43, {{spoiler|Alex seems to do this as he walks towards the Operator. Unlike most examples of this trope, it's impossible to tell whether he's heroically defying The Operator's influence or if he's ''gone crazy'' from The Operator's influence}}.
Line 327:
* [[Voice of the Legion]]:
** Audio distortion lends Jessica (and Jay, to a much lesser extent) this effect in several entries. Alex gets a bit of this at times too, most noticeably in Entry #45.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: In a series like Marble Hornets, entries are extremely polarized between 'wham' and 'filler'. Since one of the creators' stated intents for season 2 was to not have any filler, well, things get pretty exciting. A special shoutout should probably go out to Entry #49, however, {{spoiler|as it's the episode we find out Alex is a murderer}}.
* [[Wham! Line]]:
** Jay tweets,
{{quote| "These [totheark responses] are so inconsistent. It's like they're being made by different people."}}
Line 341:
** TTA calls Jay out for wasting time (in his [[Cryptic Conversation|own]] [[Vagueness Is Coming|way]]).
* [[White Mask of Doom]]: The masked men.
* [[Whole -Episode Flashback]]: Technically the whole series is a mish-mash of non-linear chronology and footage filmed in the past, but some entries tend to stand out more than others. Entry #22 and Entry #51 are the most notable, as they both jump backwards in time from the chronology of events the viewer and Jay are currently following, and they {{spoiler|show footage of the student film which is integral in explaining the disappearance of the cast.}}
* [[Word of God]]: Two interviews so far that mostly cover behind-the-scenes information, the first [http://web.archive.org/web/20100822102648/http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3207172&pagenumber=199 here] and the second [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr38zIG3SUI here]. Tim also conducted an interview for a podcast, revealing his role in the production and telling stories about filming.
