Added DiffLines:

* CuckooClockGag: Zig-zagged; while Slappy's titular cuckoo clock is for the most part relevant to the plot of the episode, there are a few gags associated with it, such as it going off the second time to signify that Slappy has lost her marbles from watching too many talk shows and the clock falling on one of the rest home's patients' heads, making the bird pop out of their mouth.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While there still are a lot of lighthearted gags to be found, this episode is a lot darker than previous episodes due to Slappy's SanitySlippage and Skippy's emotional health being jeopardized

* AdultFear:
** Slappy nearly burning down her house due to messing with the toaster. Skippy goes OhCrap and realizes he can't take care of her or leave her alone.
** The social worker has this when Skippy tries to lie that Slappy is home. The lady isn't stupid, since the house is obviously unoccupied, meaning a minor is living alone and records would show Slappy is getting medical treatment. She's apologetic and immediately takes him to foster care services, because her job is to make sure the kids are safe. As we see, Skippy is getting good care and enough sleep, meaning she had a point.
** Having a child taken away by child services because you're no longer able to take care of them.

* HeroAntagonist: Downplayed with the social worker that takes Skippy into foster care. She's just doing her job when saying he needs to be in a proper home with a guardian because a minor can't be living on his own. Heck, Skippy doesn't even try to run away, conceding she has a point; he just wants Aunt Slappy well enough to take care of him again.

* MinorLivingAlone: Skippy tries a stint of this when he has to commit Aunt Slappy after she nearly sets the house on fire. His teacher is worried about him when she sees how exhausted he is and asks for child services to check on him. The social worker is waiting at the house, having already determined that Slappy isn't home, but wants to get Skippy's side of the story. She's apologetic about having to take him into services.
