- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Kimberly's parents. Though they'd never admit it to anyone else.
- Barbie Doll Anatomy: Nipples? What nipples?
- Brainless Beauty: Caleb - though it was never clear if it's true stupidity, overwhelming self-absorption or a combination of the two.
- Character Development: Brisbane and Kimberly are virtually different characters from their time in Unlike Minerva
- Cool Old Lady: Lola. Her vacation photos are of the various wrestling teams that she meets.
- Expy: Robert, Jake, and Sandra are basically furry versions of Carl, Todd, and Shandra of Spare Parts
- Mr. Fixit: Brisbane. At one point he fixes the Lounge TV after it sparked. He fixed it so well that it didn't show static anymore to the disappointment of the Lounge Guys.

That's it? You're just stepping down?Ms. Taylor: I could keep playing this game for years, Kimberly. But we both know how it's going to end.
