* TheOtherDarrin: Neither of the Time Police are voiced by Reggie Watts this time around. Although their designs appear to be the same as the two seen before, it may also be a case of re-used character models and they could be different Time Police.

* WouldHurtAChild: The Time Mall's "Security Orb" will disintegrate anything in its path, not even bothering to spare the lives of children. Apparently the network censors are okay with said children dying, as long as they're alien and don't look all that humanoid.

The Superjail staff learns that Jacknife had apparently fathered an Ultraprison inmate's child, when the illegitimate baby is dropped back at their jail. However, Jacknife flees, unwilling to be a father, and the Warden opts to create 10,000 clones to see which one of them is most capable of raising the child. Although when it comes to the Jacknife clones, they have other interests in mind.

** The opening sequence was recycled from the scrapped opening for "The Budding of the Warbuxx", though with a detail changed here or there (such as the magazine Jacknife saw) and the sequence running much longer than the original one would have. But at the end, there appears to be a "Cancer Memorial Park" with a statue of a ''very'' familiar little girl, complete with birthday cake and the years listed being 2004-2008 (Cancer's birth and death years listed at the end of "Mr.Grumpy-Pants".

** There's not just a Time Court and Jail, but apparently a mall as well, where two Time Police work as cops. The aliens that were seen in the Time Court are also reused, along with even the Triplets' guard aliens from "The Trouble with Triples".
** The Warden troopers return yet again, this time gunning down the Jacknife clones.
** Aside from the pier from "Superbar" making a reappearance in the climax, a Jacknife clone also mows down a Chubsteaks mascot as he tries to evade Jailbot.
* FreezeFrameBonus: The Warden's chalkboard displays his findings on babies, including a size chart comparing Jared and the Jacknife-baby's size, as well as a note: "Conclusion: Some people are smaller than Jared". The chalkboard also lists that the Warden's homework is to change 200 diapers, and to practice feeding and TLC.
**A bra fashioned for eight breasts can be seen on display, in the clothing store that the Twins visit at the Time Mall.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As the Warden and Jared converse, one Jacknife clone gets held by another and punched by yet another.
* TheOtherDarrin: Neither of the Time Police are voiced by Reggie Watts this time around. Although their designs appear to be the same as the two seen before, it may also be a case of re-used character models and they could be different Time Police.
* StockFootage: The Clone-a-majig shows some footage of Jacknife's past crimes that were seen in some of the opening sequences, most notably from "The Trouble with Triples" and "Nightshift" (which preceded production of this episode).
** The pier from "Superbar" is re-used in the mass Jacknife capture sequence.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While Jacknife's name is meant to be spelled as one word and with one "k", the Doctor's DNA machine has his name displayed as "Jack Knife" (which the writer of the episode noted as an error).
