-->'''Luan:''' You'll get that ice cream ''sundae'', Lily, perhaps when the [[JustForPun road isn't so]] ''[[JustForPun rocky]]''! Don't have a ''[[RuleOfThree mint chip]]'' on your shoulder about this!\\

* ADayInTheLimelight: For Lily. She's been the focus of several episodes before, but this time, she plays a proactive role instead of a reactive one.

* ArtShift: Lily's [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] throughout the episode are in a cruder art style than the rest of the show.

* ADayInTheLimelight: While Lily has had a few episodes focused on her before, this is the first one where she actually takes a proactive role instead of a reactive one.

* DudeNotFunny: After Lily fails to eat her first sundae, Luan tries to cheer her up with some jokes during the ride back home, but said jokes are ice cream puns. Lola has to call her out for this.

* InelegantBlubbering: Lily does this when she drops her ice cream sundae. There's no snot involved, but boy, is her crying loud, and her face is distorted too.

* UnpleasantAnimalCounterpart: Porpoises to dolphins. At the aquarium, Lynn Sr. had fun with a friendly dolphin, but got mugged by a sneaky porpoise. This is very ironic considering in real life, dolphins are more aggressive than porpoises, to the point the former will often harass and kill the latter for unknown reasons.

* AllForNothing: Narrowly averted. At first, it seems that Lily's efforts to get a sundae were all for naught. Luckily, She's able to get herself a sundae at Flip's store.

* AngryChef: Guy Grazer, a parody of {{Creator/GordonRamsay}}. The Louds refund their ticket for a private cooking class with him due to their father's sensitivity to raised voices.
