* GrossupCloseup: Not ''too'' gross, but when Marcy comes to complain about Ann's wardrobe, her sock is noticeably dirty and when pointed out, we get a close up of it with mud splotches and even a hole her big toe is poking out of. Oddly when they go to pick new clothes for Ann, her sock looks pristine as usual.

* LimitedWardrobe: Lampshaded by Marcy, who notes that Anne has practically worn through her uncovered sock and generally hasn't altered her overall appearance much during her time in Amphibia, whereas both Marcy and (unknown to her) Sasha have upgraded their appearances to fit more into Amphibia's culture. She hires a Newtopian armorer to update Anne's look, though Anne ultimately goes with just a chest-plate that doesn't otherwise affect her appearance because [[BeYourself she doesn't want to change who she is]].

* EasilyCondemned: Despite Bessie having a lifelong track record of being a responsible and reliable snail who only acts up when she has ''very'' good reason, Hop Pop is quick to condemn Bessie as being too irresponsible and unreliable when she causes a "ding-dang ruckus" while chasing after [=MicroAngelo=].

While he believes it's because Bessie is not responsible or reliable for the job, the audience knows [=MicroAngelo=] is a StrayingBaby and Hop Pop put too much pressure on Bessie to reign him in ''alone''.
