  • From the Animated Adaptation, the "Twinkle Twinkle Lovely Little Star" song is this when the Star-Bellies tease a Plain-Belly child.
    Starbellies: If there's one upon your tummy,
    That's just yummy, you're my chummy.
    If there isn't you're a crummy, slummy, gummy, bummy dummy!
  • The whole premise of "Too Many Daves", in which a woman names all of her sons Dave, but they all respond when she calls for one. Also, some of the alternate names she considered are "Bodkin Van Horn", "Hoos-Foos", "Snimm", "Hot Shot", and "Harris Tweed".
  • In "What Was I Scared Of?", the protagonist keeps running "errands" of a peculiar nature, including fetching "doubt trout" (a type of fish) and "snide" (a type of plant).
