* AssholeVictim: Shrinking a teenager and kidnapping one should not be as funny as it is. Considering that Linda was going to beat up the alien kids and got them in trouble with their racist teacher, however, she got off lightly with brain damage.

* {{Deconstruction}}: The pilot ends up being one of a typical ''Rick and Morty'' episode, specifically the love that people have for amoral characters.
** Normally when Rick engages in science-fiction shenanigans, he talks gleefully about how he can always avoid the consequences. The Schlorpians know that they aren't above Earth consequences for their shenanigans; Korvo bluntly says they need to ditch the destruction that Funbucket caused or they'll get arrested, and the kids are trying not to be expelled. What's more, their wanting Pupa to mature and destroy the planet is PlayedForLaughs but gives enough time for the audience to realize how serious that is.
