* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: In "Umbrella", the music intensifies as the sun goddess gets angrier at Employee 61 and decides to confront her. The music immediately goes back to calming when the goddess then [[AntiClimax trips and falls on her face]].
* LivingToys: The "Figurine" from the titular episode, who wasn't supposed to reveal her true nature but felt too sore and chilly from having to stay in the same pose in the same [[PlayboyBunny bunny outfit]] all day long.


Added DiffLines:

* PlayboyBunny: The "Figurine" from the titular episode has a black leotard, collar, and bunny ears as her default outfit. However, the collar's too tight and the rest leaves her feeling chilly, so Employee 61 lets her order a hoodie and sweatpants from a doll clothing website to replace them, which she wears alongside the bunny ears in all future appearances.

Naturally, the headphones connected to her mobile phone get snagged and disconnect, causing a song to be played at full blast through the built-in speaker and wake the Goddess up...just long enough to yawn and then fall back asleep.
