* AffablyEvil: When Grandpa Marsh shows up to ask Death to take him with him, Death refuses and instead allows him to talk with his Grandpa's ghost from Limbo, to put an end to his constant attempts to get Stan to kill him.



* TheBadGuyWins: ZigZagged. Sheila and the adults manage to get ''Terrance & Phillip'' cancelled, but they're not content with its replacement ''She's the Sheriff'', and they go back to New York to get that show cancelled as well.

* TheProblemWithFightingDeath: Subverted. When Death shows up to claim Kenny, the boys all wisely retreat, although they fail to stop him from claiming Kenny. The only one willing to fight was Grandpa Marsh, who ''wanted'' to die, but he was too slow and never got to touch him.

** The boys saying that dropping a cow on Grandpa Marsh makes the death "look natural" is possibly a reference to how Kenny got trampled to near-death by cows in ''[[Recap/SouthParkS1E1CartmanGetsAnAnalProbe Cartman Gets An Anal Probe]]''

Added DiffLines:

** Stan's room is shown to be on the first floor rather than the second as the series later establishes.
** Kenny uses a restroom set ''inside'' the classroom in this episode, which was never seen previously and has not been seen since, with any future episodes where a kid has to take a potty break having them use a hallway restroom. Matt and Trey comment on it in the episode's DVD Commentary.

* {{Troll}}: Though he caters in the end, John Warsog does everything he can to taunt the protesters, and even when he gives up, the new show he puts on is as bad as the one he cancelled, likely as a final jab at them.

** Jesus is briefly established as being almost omniscient, with him quipping in a deadpan tone that he's the son of God so he would obviously know everyone. Later episodes will show him as more of TheEveryman who is just as prone to forgetting about things as any other human.



* ForgottenFallenFriend: After some initial shock, the boys leave Kenny's body to be taken away by a rat, with none of them showing any interest.

** The fat protester who is accidentally flung after ''Terrance & Phillip'' had already been cancelled is also completely dismissed, since everyone was too busy celebrating.



* HeroicSuicide: Subverted. Sheila believes the mass flinging of protesters into the ''Cartoon Central'' building is this, but as John Warsog later reveals, it did not accomplish anything in the large scheme of things, and it only likely led to some kids losing their parents.



* KickTheDog: John Warsog mooning the crowd, and telling them to direct their criticisms to a brick wall.



** Despite being an ApatheticTeacher and calling him a little bastard later, Mr. Garrison allows the sick Kenny to go to the bathroom as much as he needs.



** Sheila is very nice to Liane Cartman throughout the protest, guiding her to the bathroom and [[NotSoAboveItAll bonding over a few poop jokes]].
