** Blink and it's easily missed, but later in the scene the Piper claims to the Mayor and Corporation "You should be rid of your rats... by lunch." During the indicated pause, he checks his wristwatch -- or rather where a wristwatch ''would'' be if this story weren't taking place in 1376 (with an 1840 framing device). ''And he's surprised there's nothing there.''

* Their version of "Literature/{{Aladdin}} and His Wodnerful Lamp" has a few, including "Grand Vizier, look at this! It goes round and round forever, and yet ''[[MundaneObjectAmazement the dog never catches the cat!]]''" Followed by a very "see what I have to deal with?" AsideGlance from the Grand Vizier. It also provides a lot of HilariousInHindsight moments compared to the Disney version because there are some similar elements, like the Sultan being a little fat man who collects toys and the Genie being a wisecracker who knows about things from the future.

There's a {{beat}} while they process this, before the prince grabs the fool and loudly points out how impossible this is.
