 * Jerkass: Jane.

 * Medium Blending: In The Red Room, one of the monsters Michelle and Luke bump into is a CGI character with big eyes and a long tongue.
 * Non-Malicious Monster: While Luke looks like a heartless being that would kill anyone in sight, he has shown sympathy towards others, such as Michelle, and would only attack if you try to harm him and/or anyone he cares for.

 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: TBD
 * Shout-Out:
 * In one scene of The Red Room, while Michelle and Luke were walking down a path, they turned after hearing breathing, only to discover Barney the Dinosaur, Chica from The Sunny Side Up Show and Star from The Goodnight Show, who are all rather scary-looking.
 * Stalker With A Crush: Michelle qualifies as this to Tristan.
 * Suck E. Cheese's: Larry Dolphin's Pizza Paloza.

Trivia

 * Channel Hop:
 * Starting in February, first-run rights for ILL moved from Netflix to USA Network.
 * As for its streaming rights, it moved from Netflix to Peacock in April.
 * Playing Against Type: Given the fact most of the voice cast is strongly associated to children's/family-friendly animation, video games and anime dubs, it's rather odd to see them in an adult animated show.

Funny

 * Scenes with Tristan trying to get away from Michelle can be funny to viewers.

Nightmare Fuel

 * Luke can be pretty creepy to some viewers.
 * There is a scene in Something's Wrong With My Mac & Cheese! where it is revealed that the Macaroni and Cheese was actually cut up worms, maggots and other bugs. This is not only disgusting, but can be pretty freaky, especially if you have entomophobia.
 * That one Anti-Smoking PSA Michelle's class watched in TBD, especially the end of it, where it shows the boy who was smoking the cigarettes experiencing the effects of smoking, wanting to quit, but a now demonic-looking cigarette forces him to keep smoking until he dies.
