* AnAesop: If you're having a bad day and nothing else helps to improve your mood, try talking about your issues to work through your feelings. Some people can improve their mood by being positive and others do so by expressing their negative feelings.



* TransformationSequence: Done several times by Sparkle Cadet, as part of her MagicalGirlWarrior persona. Spoofed when Kelsey goes through one of her own, which is just her cleaning off her hair, removing the can from her sword and shaking the mud off her boots; a bit of mud refuses to come off from one boot, which throws off the rest of the transformation.

* ArtShift: Sparkle Cadet's backstory is shown as black-and-white manga panels. A couple of close-ups of her are also drawn in [[{{Animesque}} anime-style]].
* TheOldCountry: Parodied when Boris, who speaks in a Slavic accent, refers to the "old country" as upstate Connecticut.
* RedHerring: The scary tree with a face that the Forest Rangers ran into is at first believed to be the source of the Anti-Sparkle, but once it's disposed, Kelsey doesn't feel any better. Then she realizes that the Anti-Sparkle is coming from her.
* ShoutOut:
** Craig makes a mask of [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Eduardo]].
** The Anti-Sparkle's name is play on the Anti-Spiral from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: The only way to stop the Anti-Sparkle inside Kelsey is for her to talk about her bad day. That weakens the Anti-Sparkle enough to be defeated.

Spoofed when Kelsey goes through one of her own, which is just her cleaning off her hair, removing the can from her sword and shaking the mud off her boots; a bit of mud refuses to come off from one boot, which throws off the rest of the transformation.
