* '''Zig Zagged''': Pete's mother refuses to even deal with Electro-Man, but then invites another villain over for a dinner party, only for her to cancel it because she becomes aware of who the villain is.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Mom... you have terrible taste."

** [[ChaosWhileTheyreNotLooking The instant Pete's mother steps out of the room Pete and Electro-Man are at each other's throats]]. They jump back into their seats when she returns and she somehow fails to notice the bruising, torn clothing, and blood.
** Electro-Man, going as Flash, knocks on the door after being invited by Pete's mother, and takes a sip from his convenience store slush while Pete, going to answer the door, takes a sip of his hot coffee. The moment the door swings open, and the two come face to face, the two do a simultaneous SpitTake, completely taken aback by each others' appearance. The entire dinner party, at least with Flash and Pete, is filled with hilarious unease.
