* '''Parodied''': Tropezilla is nicknamed "Not Godzilla".
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Charlie asks Alice and Bob about Tropezilla. The two of them argue over Tropezilla's appearance and abilities, and each describe the monster differently, using some features that would resemble Godzilla, and some that would suggest it looks nothing like Godzilla.

* '''Defied''': The townspeople refuse to use the name Tropezilla, or do anything that would make any sort of connection between Tropezilla and Godzilla.
* '''Discussed''': "Godzilla likes to attack Tokyo. If a monster attacked our city, it'd probably be a different zilla."
* '''Conversed''': "Tropezilla is obviously just Godzilla with a different name. The writers don't have the copyright for the real Godzilla."

* '''Played for Laughs''': Tropezilla gets offended when someone refers to him as Godzilla, annoyed that he has to live in the shadow of his more famous cousin, and that people seem to think all of his species are the same.
