* EggFolk: "The Egg Who Would Be King" consists of the Goose Lady's take on Humpty Dumpty, where it is established that the nursery rhyme character was laid by a chicken who was jealous of the goose that lays golden eggs and then booted out by his mother because she considered him another failure in laying valuable eggs. Humpty then decides to become King of Fairy Tale Land, but his people grow so sick of his laziness that they knock him off his wall by [[ProducePelting throwing vegetables at him]].

* FatBastard: The title characters of "Hamsel and Grande" are a pair of overweight children who eat the witch's gingerbread house in spite of her pleas and sic a woodsman on her whenever she tries to stop them.



* KafkaKomedy: The Goose Lady's rendition of Hansel and Gretel. Hansel and Gretel are two greedy fat kids who keep trying to eat the Witch's candy house. Every time the Witch tries to stop them, they cry for help and a nearby Woodsman, assuming the Witch is trying to eat the kids, attacks her with his ax. The pattern repeats itself until the Witch's home is nearly entirely gone. She then constructs a new house made out of liver, which repulses Hansel and Gretel... but it turns out the Woodsman loves liver and starts eating the house while the Witch breaks down into tears.

* SpoofAesop: When the morals to the Goose Lady's stories aren't contradicted by how the actual story unfolds, then they're just nonsense that is barely relevant to the story at all (e.g. "A Fisherman's Wife and a Fish" giving the moral that your wishes can always come true as long as you make sure you wish on a magical fish).

* ButtMonkey: Dot and Randy are always forced to listen to the Goose Lady's stories and, in the process, have their attendance and performance rates at school being put in jeopardy, whether from the Goose Lady keeping them up at night when there is an exam tomorrow or from the Goose Lady making them miss the school bus.

To make things worse, the Goose Lady always gets away so the authority figures who show up blame the children for the destruction the Goose Lady causes and the children's pleas that the Goose Lady is to blame are never believed.
