* When Skipper first meets Libby on the bus, she asks him where he's going to. Skipper thinks to himself that he doesn't want to say where he's really going to, the orthodontist, because that would make him come off as a geek. So instead, he replies that he's going to the comic book store. [[SarcasmMode Yes, because a fascination with reading comic books doesn't make you come off as geeky at all]].

** And at the very end, after Skipper makes his way back home to find his mom telling him that he got a new comic in the mail. Rather justifiably [[BluntNo uninterested]], Skipper tries to leave only for his mom to grab his hand. And neither of them seem to acknowledge that [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent his hand is still in her grasp as he leaves for the living room]] until she opens the envelope and finds a comic of the Colossal Elastic Boy and recognizes Skipper on the cover. ''Then'' she notices his hand in hers while his arm is stretched to the other room and screams while letting it go. With a quirky theme, it flies all the way back to Skipper in a recliner with a snap, the boy now in a colorful costume as he stands up triumphantly. There is [[GainaxEnding zero explanation]] on whether it was a combination of YourMindMakesItReal and [[TrappedInTVLand Skipper being made into a real-life comic book character]] or from [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt defeating the Masked Mutant]].

* In ''Attack of the Mutant'', as Skipper finally faces off against the Masked Mutant, he tries to bluff his way out by proclaiming he's really the hero known as the Colossal Elastic Boy. At which point the Mutant exclaims, in complete sincerity, "Elastic Boy! I ''thought'' you looked familiar!" At no point was there ever a character called Elastic Boy mentioned before that moment, and that just makes it even funnier.

* The Masked Mutant himself is fun in both versions for how over the top evil he is. To the point where he considers being a liar one of his ''better'' qualities.
