!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptedOut: Lacie is not in the episode.
* AdaptationDistillation: Matt only goes to four realities in the episode.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Matt is unhappy that he doesn't get to have the freedom that his older siblings have, expressing a desire to be older. His trip into other realities allows him to be an adult, but it's situations he isn't ready for: ace hockey player, brain surgeon, bomb disposal and a groom-to-be.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In the episode, Matt is taken to court by the [[spoiler: Reality Police and ''put on trial'' simply because '''he said his reality sucked''']]. It doesn't help that [[spoiler: [[HereWeGoAgain he's ''once again'' forced to endure it]] simply because he said his reality was '''boring''']].
* IWantMyMommy: At the hockey rink, while he is undergoing pressure from the game, Matt goes to a player and says that he wants his mother. The coach overheard him and is incredulous that he wants his mommy, and one of the Reality Police mocks Matt for it.
* JudicialWig: A judge wearing a long, curly, and powdered wig pronounces Matt guilty of crimes against reality.
* MythologyGag: A kid is seen holding a comic called "Creatures from the Muck", the comic Clark was reading in ''Literature/HowToKillAMonster''. This is especially interesting given the comic was not featured in the TV episode.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Matt's mother is credited as "Laura Amsterdam", while she had no first name in the book.
* SameStoryDifferentNames: This episode greatly switched up the book's elements: Matt going to sleep in the attic, remaining a kid in the realities he ends up in and then being put on trial.
* ShoutOut: The Reality Police are modeled after Film/MenInBlack. They're even credited as such!

Pam reacts to this new behavior of his by doing this trope, which Matt recognizes as "the international sign for 'He's nuts.'"

Why I’m Afraid of Bees did not have this sort of aesop, and besides, Gary’s life became better once he got his body back. This book, however, is probably more straight with this trope.

* BrokenAesop: What this book has in common with ''Literature/WhyImAfraidOfBees'' is that both share the same moral: Appreciate what you have, and like the aforementioned novel, this moral falls apart, because what Matt had made him miserable (a small bedroom, [[BigBrotherBully older siblings who pick on him]] [[ForTheEvulz for fun]], [[AnimalsHateHim the family dog who hates only his guts]]). Really, Matt had ''NOTHING'' to appreciate in his regular life.
