* HarsherInHindsight: Veronica being tossed into a trash can by a computer cursor at the end of the episode can be seen as a disturbing metaphor for how she and other characters of the show would become forgotten in the later seasons.

* {{Squick}}: The "threatmantic" love note manages to [[CrossesTheLineTwice cross the line back into being funny]]. Timmy's dad writing in the love note that Trixie, ''a ten-year-old-girl'', is more attractive than ''his own wife''? Not so much.

* ValuesDissonance: The episode has a brief scene where Timmy's dad gets takeout from a Chinese restaurant. Said establishment features a logo in Wonton font, the sole staff member has slits for eyes and a bowl haircut, and the fortune cookie that he gives features a "Confucius says" joke. The early 2000s saw the last remnants of East Asian stereotypes in cartoons.

** Another gag features Crocker in IncrediblyConspicuousDrag, with the joke being that A) He's ugly and B) He enjoys it. It comes complete with a stock scream sound effect when he puts it on.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Like with Trixie's tomboyish side being revealed in "[[Recap/TheFairlyOddParentsS2E12TheBoyWhoWouldBeQueen The Boy Who Would be Queen]]", this episode revealed that Veronica has a secret crush on Timmy Turner, which would've made for an interesting character trait and could potentially evolve her into Timmy's ThirdOptionLoveInterest. Alas, it was only brought up in one later episode, and was completely dropped after that.
