[[File:menu_6833.gif|frame|Hi-ho! Dazzeloids away!]]

 

[[Keep Circulating the Tapes|Sadly out of print, the CD can still be found through web stores such as Amazon and eBay.]] It's well worth a look, especially if you're a fan of Greenblat's work.

----

* [[Black and White Morality]]: Fun (The Dazzeloids) versus Boredom (The Mediogre).

* [[Beeping Computers]]

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: The Mediogre ''loves'' making everything [[Creative Sterility|sterile of imagination and fun]], and he'll gladly tell you all about it.

* [[Catch Phrase]]:

* [[Choose Your Own Adventure]]: The first two stories, but especially Banker.

* [[Cosmetic Award]]: The program ''actually rewards you'' for playing it a certain number of times, from the 10th to the 25th to the 100th time. This is merely a bit of silly fun that can easily be achieved with some simple rewriting of a file within the program folder.

* [[Credits Medley]]: The credits feature several bits of the incidental music throughout the CD-ROM.

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Anne's sister, Liliana Algonquin Whim, was literally bored to death by a rerun of a BLANDO TV show, motivating Anne to fight for those imprisoned by mediocrity.

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]:

* [[Explosive Overclocking]]: What Yendor does to his Personal Distress Assistant to create a reverse anti-reality disturbance to restore the pet shop to its rightful place.

* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: Featured in the "splashy intro".

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: When the Mediogre tries to create a superpowered Transglumifier, it backfires in humorous ways (exactly how depends on the Lava Lamp Power Cell you choose), [[No Ontological Inertia|sending the teleported pet shop back to its original place.]]

** This is also the subject of the Mediogre's [[Nightmare Sequence]]:

* [[For the Evulz]]:

* [[Hacker Cave]]: The lair of the Mediogre and Pin Bleeper.

* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]:

** Yendor has a [[Scotireland|Scotirish]] brogue.

* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: [[Lampshaded]] with the song "Are You Waiting", which plays when a section is loading.

''Are you waiting?'' Yeah, we're waiting; has something gone wrong? <ref>If nothing has gone wrong, you should only be able to hear the first verse on a good computer. You're able to hear the whole song through the story map menu.</ref> }}

* [[Mad Libs Dialogue]]: Happens often, but especially with food.

* [[Medium Awareness]]:

* [[Neologism]]: Many of the words on the CD-ROM, [[Rainbow Speak|displayed in pink]]. Clicking on them will bring up their "meanings", told by Yendor. Their dictionary also includes [[Techno Babble]] and otherwise unusual items, such as "creamy corn" (Titan's favorite between-meal snack) and "[[Deflector Shields|energy field]]".

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The tutorial.

* [[Petting Zoo People]]: The main characters:

** Anne is nearly human, but she has bovinesque horns on her head, as do her family.

** Yendor is a humanoid insect, possibly an ant.

** Stinkabod is a humanoid sheep.

* [[Pixel Hunt]]: Assembling the Vibrobeam requires you to click-and-drag the main segments of it to their rightful spot; the only trouble is that that "spot" is incredibly small, and it might take a while before they'll fall into place.

* [[Police Are Useless]]: Not so much ''completely'' useless as much as useless with the fantastic goings-on.
