* GhostAmnesia: We are reminded of Scratch being unable to recall anything from when he was alive. Given how it is normal for ghosts to tell the story of how they died on their death day, this is an unusual case.

** Because Scratch can't remember anything about his previous life (other than the fact that he used to be friends with a girl who shared his love for strawberry soda), he has never been able to have a death day party, thus getting annoyed and grumpier than usual if someone brings up the subject.
* BlackComedy: The entire song "Happy Happy Death Day". The song, despite a very cheerful melody, is filled with lyrics about all the potential (sometimes funny, sometimes horrifying) ways Scratch might have died, paired with imagery of said potential deaths. It must be seen to believed.

'''Original Air Date:''' 11/11/23

Geoff brings up his death day before they realize Scratch doesn't have a death day, being unable to recall when that was. So they celebrate an honorary death day for him. Since he can't tell the story of how he died they all invent stories on how they think he died.

* GhostAmnesia: We are reminded of Scratch being unable to recall anything from when he was alive. Given how it is normal for ghosts to tell the story of how they died on their death day, this is an unusual case.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Played for laughs in Darryl's story, he imagines Scratch in Centipede World, with him as a centipede. The story starts off with him saying goodbye to his friends when Sharon's shoe suddenly crushes him as she smacks a real centipede that wandered up from the basement. Darryl rolls with it.
