Added DiffLines:

'''Cloud of the Month''': After winning the Middlemost Post's "Cloud of the Month" award, Parker begins to get into it.

!! "Cloud of the Month" provides examples of:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Parker literally let their achievement of being Middlemost Post's Employee of the Month to their head, so much that it grows bigger.
* EmployeeOfTheMonth: The promise of the episode, where Parker is honored as "Cloud of the Month."
* FunWithAcronyms: R.U.S.S. (Russell Unified Sorting System)
* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity: Parker somehow managed to fire Angus from his own postal job, which does not end well for him.
* HighPressureEmotion: Angus' reaction to getting fired by Parker.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Angus feels this way after hurting Parker's feelings.
* NonUniformUniform: This is the only time we ever seen the Middlemost Post staff wear postal uniform.
* StandardOfficeSetting: The Middlemost Post eventually becomes this.

'''A. Plumber''': Parker calls a plumber when the toilet is clogged: It's Ryan who has dressed up to solve the problem.
!! "A. Plumber" provides examples of:
* ADayInTheLimelight: Ryan's biggest role ever is in this episode and he spent majority of it speaking in an Italian accent.
* ArtShift: As Mayor Peeve explains his plan, the art style changes into a blocky style with no outlines.
* DoItYourselfPlumbingProject: The whole premise of the episode.
* EvilPlan: Having Ryan dressed up as a plumber was all part of Mayor Peeve's plans to destroy the Middlemost Post.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Parker gets one, in which the bad cloud blew away the good cloud.
* HardWorkMontage: Features Angus and "Rocco" working together to fix the pipes, complete with a letterboxed aspect ratio and 80s style music.
* PaperThinDisguise: No one noticed the fact that Ryan and later Mayor Peeve were in disuigse as an Italian plumber. Ryan was pretty close to taking off his disguise, though.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Ryan's plumber disguise is named after the story editor of the show, Rocco Pucillo.
* ShoutOut: With the way Ryan does an Italian accent while disguised as a plumber, it's an obvious reference to Franchise/SuperMarioBros.
