* QuestForAWish: The family meet a Shmandrake root that promises a wish to whoever in the family it likes best, leading them all to try to get on Shmandrake's good side. We see the characters' individual wishes: Bunny wants to be a superhero with [[NeatFreak super cleaning powers]], Cecil wants to be a SupremeChef, [[GrumpyOldMan GrandPat]] wants nothing more than for the world to be wiped out (with him safely watching from a distance), and [[TheDitz Patrick]] can't even think of what he wants his wish to be. In the end, Shmandrake turns out to be a BitchInSheepsClothing but wasn't planning on giving his wish to anyone. Once Squidina catches him in the act, she uses an ImpliedDeathThreat to get him to grant her wish: [[ResetButton that they never found him in the first place]].

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: The Stars are initially sad at cooking Shmandrake to death, but then they smell how good his body is. They promptly devour him whole, since Shmandrake was such a {{Jerkass}} to them that it's a relief to have him gone.
-->'''Cecil''': Mmm, kind of nice having him feed ''us'' for a change, ha ha.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Squidina explains to Patrick that Shmandrake isn't actually going to offer wishes to anyone. He's just tricking them so they'll wait on him hand and foot. Patrick misunderstands the phrase and thinks that he needs to be even ''more'' intense with pampering Shmandrake so he can get the wish.
-->'''Patrick''': You think if I wait on his shoulders, spine, and back too, he might grant my wish!?

* {{Hypocrite}}: Right after leaving the house out of anger, Shmandrake cries in disbelief of how the family was so selfish in eating most of him, despite the fact that he tricked the four of them into pampering him in the first place under the pretense that he would grant a wish to his favorite of the family.

'''Dad's Stache Stash'''
'''Original air date''': 5/1/2023
Patrick wants a mustache, so Cecil introduces him to the Star family stache stash. After trying on all the mustaches, Patrick decides to wear a forbidden one, turning him into an [[DastardlyWhiplash old-timey villain]].
!!Dad's Stache Stash contains examples of:
* CostumeTestMontage: Patrick tries on ''every'' mustache in the stash in quick succession.
-->'''Patrick''': This 'stache! That 'stache! These, those, and dad 'stache! Bad 'stache! Moose 'stache! Big 'stache! Small 'stache! All 'stache!
* DastardlyWhiplash: Patrick wears an old-timey mustache that turns him into a classic villain. He promptly ties his family to railroad tracks, acting [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] and giving out [[EvilLaugh evil cackles]] throughout.
* ExorcistHead: When Patrick looks around the stache stash, his head turns 360 degrees, complete with the sounds of bones cracking.
* FunWithHomophones: The stache stash, which is a giant grand hall housing mustaches throughout the Star family.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The first half of the episode is about Patrick trying on mustache's in Cecil's stache stash. The second half involves him being turned into a supervillain by the mustache and attacking his family, leading Cecil to stop him.
* LampshadeHanging:
** The rest of the Star family are more bored than scared of Patrick's villainy, simple due to how overused they see it as.
--->'''Squidina''': Really? Tying people to railroad tracks? Hasn't this been done before?
** Cecil gets into a conversation about why he can't just take everyone ''off'' the tracks before stopping the train.
--->'''Cecil''': My family and friends, don't worry! I'm going to stop that train before it gets here!\\
'''Squidina''': That's great, Dad, but maybe you could pull us off the tracks first? You know, just in case?\\
'''Cecil''': I would, but that would strip this story of any sense of suspense or danger.\\
'''Bunny''': Honey, seriously?\\
'''Cecil''': Look, I understand your concern, but I need you all on the tracks for motivation.\\
'''Rube''': Why would anyone wanna stop a train?\\
'''Cecil''': ''(laughs)'' Rube gets it.
* MediumShiftGag: After Patrick wears a "Mr. Miami" mustache, he's seen leaning against a live-action luxury car.
* {{Pun}}:
** One of the mustaches that Patrick wears is a "moose-stache", as in it comes from a mounted moose head.
** Patrick uses a handlebar mustache as real handlebars to drive an invisible motorcycle.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the mustaches in Cecil's stache stash is [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi's, labeled "Plumber".]]
** Patrick wears a Surrealist mustache that [[Art/ThePersistenceOfMemory turns him into a melting clock.]]
* StarfishLanguage: Patrick asks how to pronounce a plaque that's written in an incomprehensible language. Cecil simply answers, "Cousin Fred!"
* TraintopBattle: Patrick and Cecil fight each other on top of a runaway train, with Patrick (who has been turned evil) wanting it to run over his family and audience, and Cecil trying to stop it.
* TrivialTitle: The stache stash is only in the first four minutes of the episode, and quickly disappears without even a mention once the plot shifts to Patrick being a DastardlyWhiplash villain.

'''A Root Galoot'''
'''Original air date''': 5/2/2023
A gardening segment on the show leads the family to meet Shmandrake, a root creature who promises a wish to whoever treats it best. However, it turns out that Shmandrake is simply lying and freeloading on the family.
!!A Root Galoot contains examples of:
* AccidentalMurder: Patrick invites Shmandrake into a tanning bed, since he doesn't get sunlight when underground. However, they all fall asleep out of tiredness from waiting on him hand and foot. When they awaken, Shmandrake has been cooked alive.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After [[HereWeGoAgain Patrick digs up a genie lamp]], Squidina groans, "I wish this cartoon was over already!"
* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: When Shmandrake sees Patrick on TV, the music playing in the background is the ''Patrick Show'''s end credits theme.
* HateSink: While Shmandrake promises to give a wish to whoever he likes best if the family houses and feeds him, he quickly turns into a FatSlob who runs the family ragged and forces them to do everything for him. When Patrick [[AccidentalMurder accidentally kills]] Shmandrake, the family eat his corpse and don't miss him one bit.
* ResetButton: Squidina wishes that none of the family ever found Shmandrake, so they won't be competing over who gets a wish. In the new timeline, rather than digging up Shmandrake, Patrick finds a genie lamp. [[HereWeGoAgain Squidina is exasperated because she can tell everything will happen all over again.]]
* RhymesOnADime: Most of Shmandrake's dialogue is spoken in rhyme.
