Added DiffLines:

* FacialHorror: When Giggles has her lightsaber modified (with Splendid's laser vision) to become an actual lightsaber, the heat melts the plastic, which ends up falling on her head. The next time we see her, her whole face and a large section of her head is gone, with the only thing remaining being some teeth embedded in her skin.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtShift: When Sniffles sees Splendid holding up some debris from the convention centre he accidentally wrecked, the shot of Splendid is done in a more detailed watercolour style and depicts him in a more heroic-looking pose, conveying Sniffles's admiration of him.


Added DiffLines:

* SelfDeprecation: When the [[ArtShift watercolour-style shot of Splendid]], which was drawn by series creator Kenn Navarro, appears in the Blurb version of the episode, the blurb quips that the artwork at the first Comic-Con in 1970 "looked way better than this".

Added DiffLines:

* IsThisThingOn: When preparing to make his speech, Splendid taps his microphone. Unfortunately, this causes it to fall to pieces due to his super strength, forcing him to speak loudly using his super voice instead. [[EarAche This does not end well for his audience.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: In the Blurb version, when Giggles and Petunia are playing with toy versions of a lightsaber and a wooden spear respectively, the blurb notes that this match-up doesn't seem fair. After Splendid uses his heat vision to turn Giggles's lightsaber into the real deal, the blurb says that maybe now it finally stands a chance against the stick.
* DiagonalCut: After Giggles swings her toy-turned-real lightsaber at Petunia, the two smile happily at each other for a short moment before Petunia is horizontally cut in half.

Added DiffLines:

* MissingEpisode: This trope is referenced in the Blurb, which calls the scene where Giggles and Petunia are dressed up as ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters "[f]ootage from the lost HTF Star Wars episode". [[invoked]]

Added DiffLines:

* InstantWristwatch: Splendid does a more old-fashioned take on this trope, pulling a pocket watch out of nowhere and realising that he needs to get to the speech he's supposed to make when he takes a look at it.

* DevelopmentGag: Cub's costume head is Lumpy's original design from the "[[Recap/HTFBanjoFrenzy Banjo Frenzy]]" pilot.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoehornedFirstLetter: The blurb points out that this episode "[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal inventively initiated integrating illiterated illustrations]]" (i.e. introduced the starring cards with an alliterative or rhyming sentence for the character in question), substituting "alliterated" with "illiterated".

Splendid makes his public appearance at the annual convention! But once again, his actions end up making a bloody mess.

!!"Wrath of Con" contains the following:
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Once again, Splendid is unaware of how strong he really is:
** He flicks the tip of a pen too hard and it flies through the heads of Mime, Disco Bear, and Russell.
** He whistles into a mic to test it, but the sound is so loud that it blows up some eardrums.
** He sucks up all the oxygen in a room to stop a fire, but ends up taking too much as the tree friends start to asphyxiate.
** He blows out the air he sucked in, which inflates the entire room and blows up the building with everybody inside (except Splendid).
* EarAche: Toothy and Cuddles have their eardrums explode by Splendid's loud whistling.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Petunia gets sliced in half by a lightsaber.

* MythologyGag: Cub's costume head is Lumpy's original design from the [[Recap/HTFBanjoFrenzy "Banjo Frenzy"]] pilot.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Splendid's deeds end up killing everybody except him. It's so prominent that it's even the moral of the story.
