Line 8:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: The riffers recognize Joe Estevez from ''[[Werewolf (film)|Werewolf]]'', but it only gets referenced in a few jokes. "Yetiglanchi!"
* [[Badass Beard]]: Joel has grown a snazzy little goatee since returning to Earth.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The bots' "alternate ending."
* [[Fandom Nod]]: After hearing about how well Joel's life has gone since he escaped, Mike gets upset and starts asking questions like "What's he have that I don't?" The 'Bots advise Mike not to compare the two, saying it isn't healthy, in a nod to the massive Joel vs. Mike [[Fan Dumb]] that dominated online discussions of the series in the Internet's infancy.
* [[Happily Ever After]]: Deconstructed to a ludicrous extent by Servo and Crow during the credits.
Line 18:
* [[Mythology Gag]]
* [[Nuns Are Funny]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] when Joel reacts to Crow's new voice, then approves, stating that proper maintenance means "changing your bowling pin" every so often.
* [[Running Gag]]: Rocking, as it relates to Zach's friend Brad.
** Mike and the 'bots get a lot of mileage out of Vivian Schilling's resemblance to Tonya Harding.
Line 24:
** As Joe Estevez tries to convince Natalie to come with him, Crow asks, "Aren't you due on the set of ''[[Werewolf (film)|Werewolf]]''?"
* [[Special Guest]]/[[The Bus Came Back]]: Joel Robinson and TV's Frank make guest appearances; TV's Frank is stuck with being a Soultaker, while Joel returns to fix various problems aboard the Satellite of Love.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Joel - once a humble janitor, now [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|manager of his own Hot Fish Shop! In]] '''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Osseo!]]'''
** Made funnier if one knew that the Hot Fish Shop franchise had closed long before the episode aired.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Gypsy, being hooked up to the malfunctioning satellite, rapidly develops something of an attitude problem.
