* DeducingTheSecretIdentity: During a casual encounter with Pete, Angela tells him that, unlike everybody else, she doesn't want to learn who the Chicken is because the magic would be gone. Many days later, a local journalist challenges the Chicken to show up on television (with a voice modifier). The Chicken explains he won't take his mask for the same reason as the Lone Ranger, because by revealing his true identity, the magic would be gone. Angela immediately realizes that the Chicken is Pete because there was no one else around when they talked.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Even though Cleatus hates being the chicken, mostly because he is allergic to the suit, he refuses to quit because he has family legacy to live up to, as his family members, including his father and grandfather, were the chicken before him. After Pete becomes a hit with the crowd as the chicken, Cleatus' dad, Jack, wants to spend time with him, but Cleatus feels upset because he thinks his dad only loves him for being a great mascot, but Pete assures him his dad loves him no matter what. After Cleatus is finally ousted to not being the Chicken, he admits the truth to how he was allergic and suffering to Jack, who reveals he was allergic to the suit too, but he didn't have to guts to quit. Jack then says [[SoProudOfYou he's of proud of Cleatus for finding a way to get out his situation]], and [[GoodParents tells him he would rather him be his happy son than suffering as the chicken.
