Tropes used in Thespiphobia include:

• Art Evolution: Some.
• Berserk Button meets Beware the Nice Ones: Rich is noramlly a very sweet guy. But DON'T mess with his techies.
• Brick Joke: Taken rather literally with the rail clips. Also, the ceiling rats.
• Crazy Prepared: Almost everyone, but Mikayla here takes the cake.
  • And of course, Rich's interview, as well as Kay's response to Sweeney Todd.
• Crossover: With Fade to Black.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: So, so many. Usually involving Seth.
• Deadpan Snarker: Techies, and of course Seth.
• Genre Savvy: Most characters.
• Gentle Giant: Rich....normally.
• Lampshade Hanging: Gwyn's misuse of the dramatic shadow generator - almost justified, considering their jobs and workplace and all...
• Mama Bear: Gwyn and Kay, once or twice.
• Never Heard That One Before: Played straight by Carrie to the pigs' blood crack.
• Orphaned Punchline: Several. The readers are even encouraged to complete them.
• Papa Wolf: Rich, but thus far only once and only for one real panel (he doesn't need any more!).
• The Power of Love: Rich claims it's the reason the sphinx gets stuck behind.
• Reset Button: Or rather a dial that can be set to a variety of settings, and apparently keeps getting stuck back on 'magic'. Blame Seth. Everyone does.
• Running Gag: Lampshaded by Seth in the Area 51 arc.
• Team Mom: Gwyneth, but with the usual techie attitude (she is the director, after all).
• Team Dad: Rich, sometimes. He once goes totally Papa Wolf on somebody (see Berserk Button above). Tito more often, as he's Stage Manager and must keep everything running smoothly.
