!!Tropes in this episode:
* ActorAllusion: A villain character voiced by Creator/DavidWarner trapping the hero in a computer world. [[Film/{{Tron}} Where have we seen this before]]?
* AerithAndBob: The main video game characters are named Portho and Mel.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Lobe does this when gloating.
-->'''Lobe:''' Now, Freakazoid and Cosgrove are trapped in the game, Portho and Mel are out here, and I'm off to buy a couch!
* BadassAdorable: After they're done at the mall, Cosgrove suggests going to see ''Film/{{Babe}}[[Film/{{Braveheart}} heart]]'', the story of a cute little pig that slaughters the English.
-->'''Steff:''' This sure is a gory movie.\\
'''Cosgrove:''' Yeah, but that's one mighty cute pig.\\
'''Freakazoid:''' I hope he receives some kind of cute pig award.
* ContinuityNod: When the Lobe is fishing for compliments about his new hat, Steff says she remembers the time he [[Recap/FreakazoidSeason1Episode9 kidnapped and tied her to a rocket]] and threatens to give him a fat lip if he ever tries that again.
* HopeSpot: While Steff fiddles with the equipment, Freakazoid reappears on the platform, only to immediately vanish again.
* IndyPloy: The Lobe was only doing mundane shopping at the mall, but spur of the moment, he took advantage of Freakazoid and Cosgrove being connected to a virtual reality game.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Lobe trapped Freakazoid and Cosgrove in the game, so Freakazoid ensures the same thing happens to him.
* MusicalisInterruptus: Stuck in the game, Freakazoid sings "Am I Blue?", only to get grabbed by Dino the Pterodactyl during a verse.
-->'''Cosgrove:''' [[LampshadeHanging You oughta pay attention instead of doing your little skits.]]
* SelfDeprecation: Though Dino the Pterodactyl has let go of them, it takes Freakazoid and the Lobe a while to land, and they have this off-screen conversation.
-->'''Lobe:''' Freakazoid, why is it taking us so long to fall?\\
'''Freakazoid:''' [[RuleOfFunny 'Cause it's funny!]]\\
'''Lobe:''' No, it's not! It's just stupid! It's as dumb as [[Recap/FreakazoidSeason1Episode1 that Handman episode]]!
* TheStinger: "Ha. That's funny."
* TrappedInTVLand: Lobe sends Freakazoid and Cosgrove into a virtual reality game while bringing in the character they were controlling into the real world.
* VillainsOutShopping: The Lobe was initially at the mall to buy a hat in his size (at Big Wide Hats). He's actually quite touchy about it when talking to Freakazoid about it.
* WaxingLyrical: Albeit changing a word, once Lobe tries his hat he asks "Tell me Stef. [[Music/ZzTop Is every woman crazy about a sharp dressed man?]]"
