- Double Subverted:

- Parodied:
- Ronald puts painstaking effort into the weirdest meals possible, and somehow, they always turn out good.

- Conversed: "Man, what I wouldn't give to have a friend like Ronald in real life."
- Implied: When Mary is organizing a party, she appoints her unseen friend Ronald to be the caterer. Everyone immediately agrees with this choice.
- Deconstructed: While Ronald is a great cook, he tends to make overly large and self-indulgent meals that end up being harmful to his health.

- Played for Drama: Although Ronald is great at cooking, he is only good at cooking, and fails at everything else.
- Played for Horror: Ronald's a master in the kitchen, but he's also a Spree Killer, implying that what he serves you might not be entirely desirable.
