* CatchPhrase: Mr. Ubiquitous is in it for the lols... so in your face.
* CallBack: Quite a few times in the last episode--considering that it came out five years after the other ones, the entire 11 minutes could be seen as a giant Call Back.
* [[ChekhovsGun Checkov's Water Bottle]]: Mr. Ubiquitous' water makes people more productive simply via contact, which is established in the 'Client' episode. In the finale, [[spoiler:Mr. Ubiquitous uses it to give Doctor Nothingness a physical body.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Doctor Nothingness is [[spoiler:given a physical form by Mr. Ubiquitous, and cries out in shock--because his physical form has an afro.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Mai Boy tends to be this a lot.
* MeaningfulName: Mai Boy primarily exists in the show to be a sort of son figure to Mr. Ubiquitous. Thus, his name is Mai Boy.
** It is, however, established that [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope Mai Boy is not his real name.]]
* TokenMotivationalNemesis: PlayedForLaughs. Mr. Ubiquitous chooses his employee based on whether or not they go to Wall-Mart, apparently considering it to be his worst enemy. Wall-Mart is never mentioned in the series again.
