* ClarkKenting: Undercover Elephant wore disguises that primarily relied on a single prop (a chef's hat, a pink tutu, etc.) and a thin ribbon-mask. They nonetheless worked, at least until his sidekick Loudmouse "blew his cover"... despite being, well, an ''[[ElephantInTheLivingRoom elephant]]''.

* ThisPageWillSelfDestruct: While playing tennis, Undercover Elephant gets a message written on a tennis ball on how to find the required MissionBriefing tape recorder. Written on the back is a message that the ball will self-destruct in four seconds, so he throws it away—naturally another tennis player tries to hit the ball and gets shocked by his 'explosive' serve. Then after playing the tape recorder, the message says this tape will not explode in four seconds...it'll explode in one second!
