* The Professor's dino parents mention that they used to be in a polyamorous throuple with an invertebrate and are briefly sidetracked reminiscing about how flexible he was. When Dinosara fondly mentions that she could "just fold him like origami" and her partner confirms he would do the same, there is no telling whether it's an UnusualEuphemism or whether the two just literally really enjoyed folding him, making for some pretty hilariously weird mental images.

!! The Dreadful Demise of the Dinosaurs
* In a scene that's filled with moments of awesomeness, nightmare fuel, tearjerker, and heartwarming moments as Ryan fights off the mad hologram and reunites with the real Professor, a single moment of humor breaks up the scene as when Ryan finishes off the hologram by [[DestinationDefenestration throwing him out the window]], the backing track of the song from the ''Defenestrations of Prague'' video plays for a single line.
--> '''Ryan''': Class dismissed, you little blue ballsack.
--> '''Song''': ''Because you're going out the win-DOOOW!'' [the window shatters and the fake Professor tumbles limply through the air]

* The ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''-style roleplaying sequence complete with dice rolls wherein Ryan and Maya are tasked with describing how they'd kill an invincible and mystical white tiger like Trung Trac is said to have done. Unsurprisingly, given his status as the show's ButtMonkey, Ryan is told that his attempt to strangle the beast wouldn't do squat despite him rolling an 18. Then Maya takes her turn with a much more outlandish slaying involving stuffing food the tiger tells her he's slightly allergic to down his throat… only for the tiger [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome To remind her that he said he's only "slightly" allergic and inform her she'd succeed in giving him a slight throat tickle before he bit her hand off.]]
* The episode ends with TheReveal of what happened to the Professor ''after'' he was eaten by the tyrannosaurus at the end of Season 4: he was reborn from an egg to [[InterspeciesRomance a couple consisting of the T-Rex and her pterodactyl husband]], who are voiced by former show guests Joyce and Garrett in manners reflective of their respective smoothly irreverent and {{Keet}}-y personalities. It is as wild and hilarious as it sounds.

* In another moment that's equal parts unsettlingly and hilariously strange, the episode starts with Ryann voicing concern about the box by the stage, and the Professor shouts at him and Ryan for it before silently staring them down. Ryan goes and starts the silent treatment, too… and the Professor begins hissing at him again, this time backed by a noise like a distant, distorted roar.
* The musical guest is a happy cloud who sings about how great it is to visit the sky and fly!.......and stops mid lyrical break to reveal casually to Ryan and Ryann he knows who committed the JFK assassination.

* The skit revealing what made Robert Liston such a great surgeon for his time between the options of him being unusually mentally sharp, him having the steadiest hands in the business, and him being… a very large man. It depicts two patients waiting in line to see him who have conflicting accounts on the first two points, who then find him walking out to greet them in the form of a puppet that's ''twice the size'' of either of them.
* Shane finally shows up in the Puppet History universe....as a completely disinterested producer who tells ''Satan'' he's not right for the show, reacts to the Professor's seeming revival with a joyful need to tell [[BitingTheHandHumor Nord VPN]], and delivers the hologram Professor's package while VOCALLY saying he's not going to get involved. He even greets his good pal Ryan, on walking onto the show set to find him ''tied to a chair,'' with a casual "Hey, buddy!" as if he considers the sight of him ''about to get murdered'' to be ''eccentric'' more than concerning.

* We get another scene of the Professor in the past with his new dinosaur parents at the end of the episode, in which they're stargazing together and start to make up their own constellations. The T-Rex actually tells a heartwarming little anecdote about the one that she makes up of a bird, but before her, her husband dedicates one to a random rock he's apparently enamored with (because it's heavy, cold, and tastes awful, by his "explanation"), and after her, the Professor picks out a simple "face" in the stars consisting of two dot eyes, a dot nose, and a line for a mouth and happily declares that it looks like his friend Beef Boy.
