* ProductionThrowback: Several in-references to ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'':
*** Tiffany has the sword of Godric Gryffindor in her sex toy box (possibly referred to later in the description of the [[spoiler: blade-play-kink incident that resulted in Big T's abrupt and involuntary disappearance]]?)
*** Vanessa tells Flopsy that "Every time I see him I get these pains in my chest" -- the almost identical thing Ron says about Hermione.
*** Ron/Joey's headband, anyone?

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: A standard "sex change operation" (more usually called gender reassignment or bottom surgery) doesn't ''remove'' a penis for someone born with one, it's plastic surgery to turn a penis into a vagina (something that would likely be a big deal in this fantasy world but is never brought up). Then again, all of the Lost Dicks are {{Unreliable Narrator}}s about their pasts.

* AbsenteeActor: This is the ''only'' Creator/TeamStarkid "season" in which Creator/LaurenLopez doesn't appear, including WebVideo/LittleWhiteLie. (She also doesn't appear in {{Theatre/Ani}}, since that was a dual production with Theatre/TheTrailToOregon.) This is because Lauren was a year older than the other Starkid members and had already graduated and moved to New York with Julia Albain -- the subject of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64S3K5yjygY this video]].

** In a way the whole play is an example -- in Act I the sentient genitals could be read as just a weird metaphor for people at war with their own sexual desires, but this all goes to hell and becomes bizarrely literal after the ShockingSwerve when Dick straight up severs himself from Joey.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: The show lands in the middle, leaning towards idealism. Some of the body parts, like the pussies and the lost dicks, are cynical about love. Other parts, like Joey's Heart, are too idealistic about love. It's the genuine love Dick shares with both Miss Cooter and Joey that inspires the Old Snatch, Flopsy and Big T to let go of their bitterness. In the end, Joey learns that neither just listening to his heart or just his dick will bring him happiness; [[ShoutOut all of them need to]] [[HighSchoolMusical work together]] [[ShoutOut for love to survive]].
