Added DiffLines:

* AlasPoorYorick: His persona in "April Fools" and "A Pony Tale" is a William Shakespeare pastiche named William Three, both episodes appropriately featuring an homage to ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' where Three holds Seven's head in a manner similar to Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.

* VagueAge: It's nigh-impossible to determine the monsters' ages. While they're giants who look and sound like adults, they are frequently shown to lack basic knowledge that their mother or another person has to educate them about, which is often a subject adults are unlikely to be ignorant of, plus "The Whole Tooth" revolves around Six losing a baby tooth when it is impossible for adults to have any baby teeth left. On the other hand, flashbacks to when they were younger clearly show them to be significantly smaller as young children, Three's personas frequently have his character demonstrate knowledge and skills that he'd realistically obtain through years of higher education and the alternate timeline shown in "It's a Wonder-Four Life" shows most of the monsters in lines of work where they'd have to at least graduate high school to be eligible for hiring. While their Mama does say in "Seven Monsters and a Baby" that it has been 40 years since she last had a chance to rest, she says nothing about where in that timeframe her children were born.
