* BitingTheHandHumor: Even under Disney's ownership, ''The Simpsons'' doesn't stop with the potshots at the House of Mouse. For example:
** Loki complains that he's making a cameo due to the request of Disney's advertising firm, deeming such a contractually-obligated appearance as beneath him.
** The Disney Princes' song openly mocks themselves as {{Flat Character}}s, and how the audiences aren't interested in them because of it.
** Mickey's cameo has him force the Princes (plus Doc and Sneezy) to form his face, angrily ordering them not to describe him as "narcissistic".
* ContractualObligationProject: InUniverse, Loki claims he's only in the special because Disney's advertising department required it.
* DudeShesLikeInAComa: During the princes' song, one of them mentions how they kiss unconscious women.



* EvilIsCool: The entire special is one InUniverse, where the Disney Villains try to convince Lisa that she should join them because of this very trope--in song form!
* FlatCharacter: {{Parodied}} InUniverse with the Disney Princes, who sing a song about how nobody's interested in them for being this trope.
