* BadassFingersnap: Scorpina snaps her fingers to bring the Rockstar to life.



* MythologyGag: Jeremy gets rid of the Mirror of Destruction, on the count that it's "too hot to handle". This line was used in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbwhsKbl2HY a trio of ads]] promoting the early toyline of the series.
