** In ''Dadliest Catch'', there's the escalator in the Deep Sea Exhibit. You have to climb an escalator as it moves in the opposite direction, and then once you've finally beaten it, there's ''another'' escalator that's going even faster.

* FridgeLogic: The game tracks your "health" using a suspicion bar, which shows you how much others suspect you are an octopus. This makes sense in the first few levels, where you are trying to do normal tasks for your family, but later on, in Octodad's secret lab, the suspicion meter fills up when you're hit by ''lasers'', and the only other guy in the room with you already knows you're an octopus.
