* InsaneTrollLogic: Whoever wrote and directed the Peeps commercial is dead guilty of this trope. The Peeps commercial has two [[BurgerFool cashiers of a burger joint]] waiting around bored at the cash register and the narrator claims they're not working hard. But there weren't any customers!

* CameraSpoofing: The duo uses this to evade the first two levels of Peeps. On the first level, a single camera, they put a paper over it, and on the second level, where they have to wear cameras, they escape from their task of dishing by putting their cameras in front of a TV showing the World Dishwashing Championship of 1982.

* SpaceWhaleAesop: When Benson tells Mordecai and Rigby that he hopes they've learned their lesson after this fiasco Rigby replies, yes, they did: make sure to do your work, or your boss will narc a giant spying eyeball on you.
* UpToEleven: A vicious circle variant. Each time Mordecai and Rigby keep slacking off or retaliating against Benson's methods, Benson just amps up the game by enacting even more sanctions and spying upon them. He ultimately cranks up the Peeps system too high and unleashes an all-spying eyeball to invade everyone's privacy.
