* DiscountLesbians: [[spoiler:The end credits feature Jocko the walrus and his three mates exchanging kisses between one another. Yes, this means that Jocko's three mates are all bisexual... but since they're, you know, ''walruses'', the audience doesn't think about it too deeply.]]

[[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because of Lucy's condition.
