* LosingHorns: The typical "wah wah wah waaaah" plays when Cristopher tells Connie he needs to take security more seriously. In fact, it's ripped straight from ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''.
* MusicalisInterruptus: A bizarre instance occurs during the mid-short IAmGreatSong about Cryptoland; Connie [[MoodWhiplash abruptly interrupts]] his own slow, vaguely bluesy number with a much more bombastic and uptempo song ToTheTuneOf [[Film/{{Grease}} "You're The One I Want"]] where Chris and the Cryptolander ensemble take the lead. The extended cut reveals that this is the product of an entire verse between the two being cut out for the presentation version.

* [[PeskyPigeons Pesky Seagulls]]: The talking seagulls residing around the island, known as "hackers", are generally frowned upon for stealing people's cryptocurrency and [=NFTs=]. At one point, a seagull steals Bianca's hardware wallet.

* ToiletHumour: When Christopher asks Connie where he gets his ideas, Connie looks at a public restroom labeled "[[{{Pun}} Shitcoin]]". The camera zooms in on [[OnlyUsefulAsToiletPaper a roll of US dollar bills labeled "Wipe paperrr"]] with the seething red-faced caricature of a government bureaucrat printed above.

* ProudToBeAGeek: Christopher, as he describes himself in the opening narration, is a "crypto-degen" with a "crush for cryptokitties"[[note]]"Cryptokitties" is the name of an interactive collection of cat [=NFTs=] (which the floats at the end are based on) and [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not in fact "cryptokiddies"]], although given [[https://twitter.com/widesauce/status/1478816782966136832 the proposed age of consent on Cryptoland]] as stated by the official Twitter account, [[{{Squick}} this is an understandable concern]].[[/note]] According to him, whenever he goes out in public and buys something, he always asks if he can pay in cryptocurrency just so he can [[CharacterFilibuster explain at length what is.]]

[[https://cryptoland.is/ Cryptoland]] is a planned island resort (originally intended to be in UsefulNotes/{{Fiji}}) for UsefulNotes/{{Bitcoin}} and general cryptocurrency enthusiasts, billed by project founders Max Olivier and Helena Lopez as "the first physical crypto island". It was first publicly unveiled in November 2021, presented in a [[AllCGICartoon computer-animated short film]] exploring the founders' apparent vision for the island together with an additional mostly documentary presentation afterward. The full animation is 16 minutes long, but the version shown alongside the presentation was cut down to 10 minutes.

* MusicalisInterruptus: A bizarre instance occurs during the mid-short IAmGreatSong about Cryptoland; Connie [[MoodWhiplash abruptly interrupts]] his own slow, vaguely bluesy number with a much more bombastic and uptempo song ToTheTuneOf [[Film/{{Grease}} "You're The One I Want"]] where Chris and the Cryptolander ensemble take the lead.

* ToTheTuneOf: The second half of the musical number uses the melody and instrumentation of [[Film/{{Grease}} "You're The One I Want"]] wholesale, only changing the lyrics.

* IAmGreatSong: The musical number[[note]](although it's functionally more like two numbers jarringly stitched together)[[/note]] in the middle of the short, where Connie sings about how Cryptoland's facilities give people what it takes to be a crypto-investor, and Christopher (backed by an ensemble of other Cryptolanders) sings about how great life is in Cryptoland and how he never wants to leave.
