* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: When Wacko Wally states he's not a nut (like his slogan says), Kevin remarks that maybe he shouldn't have called himself "Wacko Wally". Wacko then retorts that "Wacko" actually ''is'' his first name, given by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Wally, but laments that it could've been worse, as his brother is named even weirder... literally; his brother's name is Evan[[note]]pronounced the same as "even"[[/note]] Weirder Wally.

* TinfoilHat: While it's not explicitly clear whether or not Wacko Wally is a conspiracy theorist, he ''does'' take the trope name [[Exaggerated trope up to eleven]] by wearing not ''just'' a tinfoil hat, but an entire tinfoil ''suit''! Even crazier, his parents ''also'' wear tinfoil suits.

* InternalReveal: Kevin, Gretel and Hamster learn that the aliens who gave Destructress and [=FistPuncher=] superpowers explicitly told them to use them for evil. This gets Kevin worried about what the aliens' true intentions are.



* {{Riddle}}: Subverted. Just as the U.F.O takes off with Gretel, it leaves a message behind in the ground: "[=J3Hound+Sit=]". Kevin has taken a photo of it, and thinks it's some sort of code that reveals where the aliens have taken Gretel. As it turns out, the message is actually "[=FistPuncher=]", rather [[TheIllegible poorly]] written [[ReadTheMapUpsideDown upside down]].

The first 22-minute ''WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel'' episode, split in two parts.

The Grant-Gomez family is having a vacation in Las Vegas. Kevin and Gretel are allowed to do whatever they want for the afternoon while their parents get to relax at the hotel pool, pretending they don't have children (and Hamster is at the Go Fish Casino). While Gretel is having fun during their time in Las Vegas, Kevin is constantly being reminded that he doesn't get any recognition as part of the Hamster & Gretel team due to not having received any superpowers from the aliens, so he wants to take any chance he can get to find those aliens again and ask them if they can give him superpowers too.

The alien's U.F.O. does in fact come back, only for it to attack the city and kidnap Gretel while leaving a message behind, with Kevin and Hamster having to find a way to locate the U.F.O's current location and rescue Gretel. As it turns out, The Destructress and [=FistPuncher=] have hijacked the spaceship while infiltrating Area 51, and want to use it to destroy the Hoover Dam. They also locked Gretel up in a tube with a rock that negates her superpowers when being near it, leaving her powerless.

*AtomicFBomb: Subverted. After Kevin learns how to control the U.F.O. and sliding on the ground, Gretel yells out "DAM". Kevin is berating her for using bad language, but Gretel was actually warning him that they're about to hit the Las Vegas dam. She yells "DAM" again when the dam is about to break.
*KryptoniteFactor: The weird rock that Destructress and [=FistPuncher=] found works just like Kryptonite, sapping away superpowers from anyone nearby.
*{{Riddle}}: Subverted. Just as the U.F.O takes off with Gretel, it leaves a message behind in the ground: "[=J3Hound+Sit=]".
