B Plot: Emma gets annoyed that everyone loves Oscar’s impression of her; when she tries to turn the tables, it falls flat. Her frustration grows when Brent steps in as her impression coach.
C Plot: Davis finds out Hank has a valuable action figure at home and tries to influence him to let it go, while concealing his true motives.
- Artistic License – Space: Hank's Space Western includes a Space Forest, Space Iceberg, and Space Wind (the latter of which Hank claims is real, likely mixing up the term "solar wind").
- Blatant Lies: Trying to trick Hank into giving up the Captain Uranus figure he's using to represent the main hero in his film pitch, Davis claims that modern blockbuster movies have only one or two key characters, and never a group on a quest.
- Brick Joke: In the opening, Brent says that the milkshake machine's smoke adds a "chicory" flavor. In The Tag, when it splashes the girls with milkshake, Wanda does enjoy the chicory taste.
- Buffy Speak: Despite fiddling with appliances, Lacey, Wanda, and Karen don't know much proper terminology, calling a spring a "baby Slinkie" or saying that a part "pinches down the flat part by the clippy thing".
- Copycat Mockery: Emma's impression of Oscar is this, while his own impression of Emma just consists of him saying things like "I'm Emma, and I knit!" Brent prefers Emma's impression, but the majority of people don't even realize she's mocking Oscar until she stoops to his level.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Oscar accidentally gets hit with a spring while the girls are repairing the milkshake machine, so he secretly takes one of the necessary components as revenge.
- Hopeless with Tech: Despite successfully repairing the toaster in the end, the girls show a bit of ignorance at first, not realizing they should unplug it before taking it apart with a screwdriver. During the milkshake machine repair, Karen thinks that a washer is an earring, as well as mixing up a whisk with the dismantled components.
- Hypocritical Humor: The episode begins with Karen and Wanda insisting that they help Lacey fix her toaster instead of needlessly spending money or adding to landfills, but first Wanda has to throw away her grill because it's dirty.
- Interspecies Romance: While discussing ideas for a movie he wants to make, Hank brings up a "Reverse Spider-Man", and has an Imagine Spot of Mary Jane falling in love with a human-sized spider bitten by a radioactive human.
- Karma Houdini: Oscar doesn't get punished for his Disproportionate Retribution (though he does make a joke about Emma sending him to jail for being a snitch), because Karen's off-duty and too tired to arrest him when she finds out.
- Literal Metaphor: When Davis looks up "Commander Uranus" on his phone and sees its value as a collector's item, he exclaims "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" Hank, distracted by his Model Planning, says he already added a nativity scene to his creation and has them playing the roles of "Beardy, Hoodie, and Shorty".
- Model Planning: Hank's set up a diorama in his room to help him plan out his movie ideas.
- Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Hank extolling the honesty and kind-heartedness of "Sergeant Solar", the best-friend of the Captain Uranus figurine in his Model Planning, ends up causing Sergeant Davis (who had just been lying in order to try and take the figurine to sell) to feel guilty and admit his plan. In The Tag, Hank admits he was indeed inspired by the local police, but actually based Solar on Karen.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: At the end of the episode, the milkshake machine still doesn't work right even with the necessary part included, and Hank having super-glued a hat onto Maurice means it can't be sold as a collectable.
- Space Western: The movie pitch Hank wants to collaborate with Davis on is one of these, including a buffalo stampede that killed Maurice's father and Maurice using a "lava lasso".
- Uranus Is Showing: Referring to the value of Hank's "Commander Uranus" action figure, Davis states "Uranus is worth a lot of money", pronouncing it the "Ur-anus" way first before clarifying that he meant "Uran-us". Hank immediately lampshades how Davis had always used the latter pronunciation until that moment.
