Line 22:
* [[Broke Episode]]: The whole panto is this for Jack and Dolly, which is worrying as they have Baron Wasteland for a [[Cranky Landlord]].
* [[Disappeared Dad]] / [[Missing Mom]]: Jack has the former, Jill the latter. Jack's father [[You Don't Want to Know|died in childbirth]] whilst Jill's just isn't mentioned.

Line 37:
* [[Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die]]: The song in which the villagers sing about how incredibly brave Jack is to climb the beanstalk, while his own lines shift from a declaration that he's going to climb it [[Feet of Clay|to excuses as to why he isn't]].
* [[Gratuitous Iambic Pentameter]]: Goldilocks talks in this.

'''Genie of the Lamp:''' Yes, [[Sarcasm Mode|thanks for that subtle hint!]] }}
* [[Police Brutality]]: The Police Chief really, '''really''' wants to rough up... well, [[Played for Laughs|anyone, really]].
Line 111:
*** That's probably why [[Pair the Spares|they end up together in the last act]].
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Quite a few moments...
