** Then there's the way his profane outburst is just followed by another reprise of the song's chorus, creating for a wonderful juxtaposition to cap off the episode with.

* Hank and Carol having a straight-up makeout sess with tongue right in front of a child.
** What arguably makes this better is the fact that said child seems fairly preoccupied with the parrot speaking Captain Trinkett's last words to him. Combined with the fact that the parrot doing so is unexplained makes the whole scene delightfully weird.

* The While it is admittedly frightening, the story circle turning into what can best be described as a Satanic sacrifice circle, with everybody developing demon eyes and making an evil chant.
''ritualistic sacrifice,'' glowing red while the rest of the orphans chant, can be oddly funny due to how out-of-nowhere it feels.

** Actually, this whole musical number in general is hilarious.
