* FantasticRacism: One of the cutout people gains the ability to move. After praising him for a few seconds, the others all decide to attack him for being different.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: A colorful bird does a mating dance for a black pigeon, including shoving his tail plumage in its face, only to find out that bird is male and get disappointed.
