* LampshadeHanging:
** The episode in general acknowledges how Adam's parents have never been seen in-person, even when Jake or the other characters previously visited the house.
** This far into the series, Principal Pixiefrog asks Adam's parents why they never corrected the clerical error that landed their son in CDMS, as well as acknowledges how the boy's life is regularly in danger as a result. [[TheUnreveal Their answer]] is deemed entirely acceptable by everyone that "hears" it.

* BlackComedy: This episode was based on a significantly darker concept ''(the supposed murder of Adam's parents)'' than with most episodes. Dark jokes included Principal Pixiefrog going on an [[FreudianSlip unwarranted tangent]] about how he's secretly planning to [[{{Matricide}} kill his mother]], and an [[EndOfEpisodeSilliness end of episode]] gag, involving Adam barfing up a human bone, comically revealing his cannibalism.

-->'''Pixiefrog:''' So, there's just one thing I don't get, Mr. and Mrs. Lyon. Why did you allow your son to attend a dangerous all-animal school for 4 television seasons?
-->'''Adam's Dad:''' ''(inaudible muffling)''
-->'''Adam's Mom:''' ''(inaudible muffling)''
-->'''The Pack:''' Ohhhhh!
-->'''Pixiefrog:''' Glad that's finally cleared up.
* TheUnintelligible: Nothing that Adam's parents say is understandable, ... at least to the audience. Adam's parents wear giant hazmat suits that muffle their voices, so much that you can barely even hear what they sound like. The other characters in the show, however, seem to understand them perfectly.
