* LighterAndSofter: Neil Gaiman made his start as the creator of ''ComicBook/{{Sandman}}'' and a series of adult fantasy and science fiction novels, which tend to run on the violent side. He reads aloud "Instructions" and gives a free copy of ''Literature/{{Coraline}}'' to Sue Ellen, two of his most child-friendly works.

* ArtisticLicense: PlayedForLaughs: Neil Gaiman's book signings tend to be loud, rowdy and exciting, with the lines lasting for hours. Here, the audience is quieter as he reads aloud, and Sue Ellen only has to wait a few minutes to get her copy of ''Instructions'' signed.
* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** In the ColdOpen, D.W. gives Arthur half a star for his monologue on how many famous historical figures were initially considered failures. When Arthur tries to shut her up and promise the episode is even better than his opening, she uses a remote to switch to the episode.
** Inner Neil breaks the fourth wall when he appears in Sue Ellen's falafel and shouts "Cue special effects!" when she's understandably confused.
* IceCreamKoan: Mr. Cantabulus, the man who runs the falafel truck, is full of these. Lampshaded by Binky and Sue Ellen, who don't exactly understand what he's saying, though Sue Ellen uses his philosophy of people being round and pointy as inspiration for her graphic novel.

* ARareSentence: "Neil Gaiman? What are you doing in my falafel?!"
* {{Squee}}: Sue Ellen has this reaction when Neil asks to read her graphic novel.
