*GRatedDrug: Jon gets high on foil-wrapped candy mints. A trippy sitar song plays while Sly (Suresh John) stares in shock at Jon drooling, giggling hysterically and then proceeding to lean out one side of the van while he hollers wildly. The fact that Sly decorated the van's interior to look like a hippie's hangout doesn't help.

Both a critique of 1980s consumer capitalism and also a scathing portrayal of authoritarian communism, ''Patch Town'' is a mixed bag and was based on a short film by the same title.

!!''Patch Town'' provides examples of the following tropes:
*AnAsskickingChristmas: The final act is AWESOME and features a full-scale rebellion against an evil toy factory.
*AmbiguouslyGay: Kenny (towards Yuri).
** A gay couple holds hands in a toy store.
*BigBad: Yuri, averted when he reveals that he is lonely and just wants his own family. Jon [[spoiler: believes he can fix Yuri and straps him into an electroshock therapy machine for "re-education". Poor Yuri.]]
*CorruptCorporateExecutive: Yuri. And by the way, he also ''sings'' about it.
*DepravedDwarf: Kenny (played by comedian Kenneth "Ken" Hall) is a little person who enjoys "the perfect kidnapping gloves", frequenting a local brothel and attacking people. According to him, he has a standard: "I draw the line at eating kids". Trope is later averted when Kenny defects from Yuri and finds employment through a Toronto job agency, going on a date with a surly-looking employment counsellor.
