* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When it's apparently clear of what Professor Parenthesis truly is, Monogram points out that it would be impossible for him to remember a small flea during school, to which Parenthesis replies by berating Monogram further:
-->'''Parenthesis:''' See? See There's that attitude again! You've always looked down your nose at me. Well, now, who's beneath who?

* DisproportionateRetribution: Professor Parenthesis wants revenge on Monogram because he ignored him when they were at school together. [[spoiler: This becomes even more disproportionate upon the reveal that Parenthesis is an actual talking flea; Monogram even lampshades this himself:]]
-->'''Parenthesis:''' ''(revealing his true form)'' Recognize me now?\\
'''Monogram:''' ''(annoyed)'' Why would I recognize a flea?!

* SmallNameBigEgo: Professor Parenthesis is outraged that Monogram looked down on him in the past, and doesn't remember him in the present, never considering that [[spoiler: since he's a flea, no human would consider him particularly important or memorable.]]
