- Growing Up Sucks: At the end of this episode's first act, Rocko fumes about how bitter and misanthropic Hiram is. He then meets another elderly passenger who gives him a speech that reduces him to tears."You are going to be old one day, junior, if you're lucky, and then you too are gonna feel the heartbreak of a prune diet or lost memories... the pain and loneliness of losing a loved one. Maybe then you'll understand why old-timers aren't always the bright ray of sunshine you find yourself to be, eh, boy?"
- Heads or Tails?: When they end up stuck on the cruise ship and having to substitute for two deckhands who were tossed overboard, Rocko and Heffer decide to flip a coin to see who will look after Hiram while the other one does the other jobs. Rocko chooses heads and Heffer chooses tails. The coin lands on tails, meaning Rocko has to look after Hiram.

- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Rocko falls overboard the boat amidst the chaos. Since Hiram had been de-aged into young adulthood, he immediately tried to save him, nevermind that he usually seems to despise Rocko.

- Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: Hiram never seems happy and is always shown complaining or insulting Rocko, whom he calls "the beaver". However, this episode provides a reason for it; many years ago, his heart was broken by Winnifred, who saw him as caring about nobody but himself.
