* ChefOfIron: Subverted. Leo, Raph and Donnie try applying their ninja skills to cook breakfast, only to create a haphazard mess in the process.

* DumbassHasAPoint: Mikey suggests that Stockman and Dogpound may be hiding at Stockman's old lab, but the other Turtles blow him off, believing it simply doesn't make sense. Mikey goes there on his own, and it turns out Dogpound and Stockman ''were'' hiding there.

* AccidentalTruth: When Mikey first reveals his zits, Donnie examines them and jokes that they're going to spread throughout his body until he basically becomes a giant zit and explodes. When they find out what's causing them and run some tests, it turns out that that's ''exactly'' what's going to happen to Mikey if they don't fix it.

Added DiffLines:

* IdiotHoudini: Not Mikey, since both the turtles and viewers called him out for his actions. It's Donnie who managed to get away with his actions by labeling the failed retro-mutagen "Super Cooled". He could've labeled it more scientifically like "Keep Frozen/Refrigerated" or specify a temperature.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Mikey wouldn't have gotten the infection and had to find a cure, and Dogpound likely wouldn't have turned into [[spoiler: Rahzar and becoming even more dangerous]] if [[TooDumbToLive Mikey]] [[WhatAnIdiot hadn't]] been screwing around with the Retro Mutagen!
** Mikey might not have messed with the reject Retro Mutagen if Donnie has labeled the jar more scientifically like "Keep Refrigerated/Frozen" or "Store at 'x' degrees or below" instead of "Super Cool...ed".

** First was when his brothers brush off his pimple problem and instead resort to scaring Mikey into thinking he will turn into one himself, despite NONE of them have ever had pimples due to them all being Mutants.
** Next was when he went to go get the centrifuge by himself when the brothers ignored his advice outright ([[DumbassHasAPoint unknown to them that Mikey WAS right about where Stockman was hiding and how to get the centrifuge]]) and then they scold Mikey once they find him for being predictable and reckless with his actions despite none of them listening to him in the first place.
