Line 129:
* [[Individuality Is Illegal]]: See "A Change of Mind" in particular.
* [[Instant Sedation]]: The [[Knockout Gas]] in the first episode (and opening title) and a doctor's hypodermic in "A Change of Mind", both used on Number 6.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Despite his iconic line, "I am not a number, I am a free man!" there's a moment in "The Chimes of Big Ben" where he tells a newcomer to the Village, "Sorry, no names. ''I'' am Number 6. You are ''Number'' 8." She responds, "I'm no Number 8, or number anything else."
* [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: 'Pop Goes the Weasel' shows up with creepy frequency in both the soundtrack and in the story, but there's also 'Humpty Dumpty', 'Jack and Jill', 'The Duke of York', and several more. The show seems to fairly empty Mother Goose of her rhymes.
** Also, there's the tune of 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow', if you want to count it.
