* {{Adorkable}}: Tim is wildly imaginative, cheerful and energetic, speaks to his alarm clock as if it was an actual person, and refuses to ride his bicycle without the proper safety gear, or for that matter, cross the street against a red light, even when the babysitter (who's really a henchman for the BigBad) chases after him. Of course he qualifies as this.

* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: Pretty much everything within the film as bizarre and insane even for Creator/DreamWorks' surreal nature. This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1QPtPHjD50]] WebVideo/ScreenRantPitchMeetings episode pretty much says it all. This is including, but not limited to:
**Puppy Co. somehow being able to create a new kind of dog and launch it
**The fact that the Forever Puppy would stay a puppy forever, and would somehow put Baby Corp. out of business, ''and '' '''the human race would come to an end.'''
**Tim and Boss Baby pretending to be an Music/ElvisPresley Impersonator, so the Elvis impersonator working at the airport would let them on their plane. Why there's even an Elvis working there is beyond anyone's thoughts.
**After the countless Forever Puppies are released from the rocket, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse they're never seen again for the rest of the film.]] It's suggested they either died or stayed homeless, just so the "HappyEnding" is allowed to happen.
**That twist at the ending of the film.

The scene depicting the preparation, useage, and subsequent revalation caused by the pacifier riffs on psychadelic rituals. Boss Baby acts as a sort of shaman, explaining the various names that the pacifier is known as and how to use it. When the pacifier takes effect, it appears to 'launch' their consciousnesses outside their bodies into an alternate reality, which loosely resemble descriptions of the effects of real life psychedelic drugs such as DMT or ayahuasca.
