* [[Arc Number]]: The number 28 pops up suspiciously often, although it's not yet been stated how this number is significant.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare [https://web.archive.org/web/20141006195656/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0002.html this image of Sarah from episode 3] with [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106080154/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0412.html this image from episode 412].
* [[Art Shift]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20141123044917/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0338.html :awesome:]
* [[Easy Evangelism]]: At first, it seems like Sarah does this to [https://web.archive.org/web/20121115091335/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0064.html spindlecakes28], but it's actually subverted. Turns out she's just that impressionable.
* [[Edible Ammunition]]: The PISSS tanks shoot pineapple grenades.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Sarah (and the whole comic in general) tend to be very loud.
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: See [[Internet Incorporated]] below.
* [[Gratuitous Russian]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106080543/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0482.html "Ready."]

* [[Jump the Shark]]: Parodied in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106075432/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0382.html episode 383].
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: {{spoiler|Rustallica}}'s decapitation-by-pineapple is pretty extreme.
* [[Mary Sue]]: In-Universe parody in the form of [[Deus Ex Machina|Deus Ex]] Mary Sue, who is a "realist who's always around when needed: the perfect girl."

** Various musical Shout Outs:
*** The aforementioned [[Kiss|PISSS]].
*** The old bouncer, [[Metallica|Rustallica]], but that's not the only [[Shout-Out]] to them... and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106055718/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0436.html the second pokes fun at the] [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] base.
*** The three black ladies seen early on are a group called "[[N.W.A.|Niggaz in Command]]." Their album title, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106074519/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0172.html ''Whites In Night Satin,''] is probably a [[Shout-Out]] too...
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106080333/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0456.html Instead of a band,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140529141134/http://geordierussell.instone.net/Jukebox/Img/L/lacuna-coil-shallow-life.jpg the cover of ''Shallow Life'' by] [[Lacuna Coil]].
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106075502/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0394.html And a dialogue-Shout Out to "Barracuda" by] [[Heart]].
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20121115091335/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0064.html Not to mention the song "Disgustipated" by] [[Tool]].
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130106075214/http://sarahzero.com/sz_0376.html Could be coincidence,] could be "[[Iron Maiden|2 Minutes To Midnight.]]"
*** And of course, the club being named "[[Nine Inch Nails|The Download Spiral]]."
* [[Take That]]: Too many to mention. It lampoons everything.
