4	Patrick hosts his own awards ceremony. Granny Tentacles, whose sleep is interrupted by the show, seeks revenge and tries to sabotage it.
5
6	!!Tropes:
7
8	* AwardShow: Patrick throws his own awards ceremony. Most awards aren't given in the way you'd expect: for example, Patrick reveals the winner for "Best Song" after singing a short intro. The award is given to the sheet music for the song itself.
9	* BlackComedyBurst: The episode ends with Patrick, Squidina, and Granny Tentacles ''being blown up by a bomb and dying'', and it's hilarious.
10	* {{Bookends}}: [=GrandPat=] trying to steal Cecil's mug happens at the start and end of the episode.
11	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Cecil accepts Patrick's gift, but tactfully reminds him that "Father's Day was ''last'' year!"
12	* EurekaMoment: [=GrandPat=] saying that he deserves "all the awards!" is what gives Squidina the idea to host an awards show.
13	* HypocriticalHumor: Dr. Plankenstein dismisses awards shows as being lame. Then he likes them once it turns out ''he's'' up for an award.
14	* ObituaryMontage: {{Parodied}}. At his awards show, Patrick gives an In Memoriam montage, mostly consisting of characters on the show who are already ghosts or zombies. The last one is a slide of a random background character, who is in the audience and [[TemptingFate points out he's still alive]]. He then gets hit in the head with a falling spotlight and dies.
15	* StylisticSuck: The show's MediumBlending gets attention called to it, where Dr. Plankenstein tries to turn his minions 2D so that they can go on Patrick's show and get an award. [[BaitAndSwitch Rather than just being animated normally]], they are SquashedFlat by a hammer and come out as messy 3D puppets that are straight out of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
16	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Patrick's memorial service mostly consists of characters who are already undead... and then "some guy named Lenny", showing a picture of a random background character. In the audience, Lenny points out that he isn't actually dead yet. He promptly gets hit in the head with a falling spotlight and dies.

22	Captain Quasar visits Pat-Tron's family for Thanksgiving, and struggles to adapt to their robotic lifestyle, while simultaneously trying to impress Pat-Tron's attractive female cousin.
23
24	!!Tropes:
25
26	* AffectionateParody: Of traditional holiday movies where the protagonist visits their friend's family and cannot understand their customs, complete with a romance plot.
27	* AlternateSpeciesCounterpart: Pat-Tron's family are meant to mirror Patrick's but as robots, down to having similar names and designs.
28	* ArtShift: The Quasar movie has a different background style featuring more jagged and sharp lines, and everything's coloring is slightly displaced from its lineart.
29	* BaitAndSwitch: We see Quasar and the Saladrian leader engaged in what appears to be intense negotiation over a peace treaty. Turns out they're just playing RockPaperScissors.
30	* ContrivedCoincidence: Conversed and parodied. Watching the movie, Squidina complains about Inga-Tron's introduction with "they just ''suddenly'' have a gorgeous cousin who shows up outta nowhere!?" [[BehindTheBlack Zoom out to show Squidina's own gorgeous cousin also watching the movie]], who points out how unrealistic it is.
31	* ADayInTheLimelight: This is the only episode to focus entirely on Quasar and Pat-Tron.
32	* DisneyDeath: Inga-Tron almost dies after Grand-Tron squirts water on her. Quasar manages to save her with a bowl of space rice.
33	* InformedAttractiveness: Parodied. Inga-Tron is described as gorgeous and a HeadTurningBeauty for both Quasar and King Saladrian, who [[LoveAtFirstSight fall in love with her at first sight]]. This is despite Inga-Tron basically being Pat-Tron with hair and a dress, and often being shown with a wall-eyed and stupid expression to sell this.
34	* LosingYourHead: The wedding ceremony would involves both parties' heads being torn off their bodies to be refit into fancy clothes; harmless to Inga-Tron, but it would kill Quasar. Patrick, who can safely remove his head, casually comments, "I don't see what the big deal is."
35	* NameTron: Pat-Tron's home planet is called ''[[RepetitiveName Tron-tron]]''. This applies not only to Pat-Tron himself, but his grandfather Grand-Tron and cousin Inga-Tron.
36	* RobotNames: The residents of [[NameTron Tron-tron]] are all variants of Patrick's family. Their names are Pat-Tron, Bun-Bot, Cecil-5000, Robodina, and Grand-Tron.
37	* ThanksgivingEpisode: Patrick and Squidina eat a giant Thanksgiving feast and then sleep it off while watching a movie. Said movie is a science-fiction story where Quasar visits Pat-Tron's family for the holidays, and struggles to adapt (such as eating a Thanksgiving dinner consisting of computing paper and RAM chips).
38	* ToiletHumor: Quasar hides inside a car that turns out to be a Pat-Tron-like robot. It spits him out between its legs, complete with a spray of brown oil.
39	* TraumaButtonEnding: The movie that Patrick and Squidina are watching involves a race of salad aliens who try to hunt down Quasar. After they finish the movie, Bunny comes in and offers them salad. They run out of the room screaming, to Bunny's confusion.
40	* YouMeanXmas: {{Zigzagged}}. The episode ''does'' name Thanksgiving as such, and [[ThanksgivingEpisode starts on the day]]. However, in the ShowWithinAShow that Squidina and Patrick watch, it's called ''Blorps''giving and is celebrated by robots. This is despite the traditions of "Blorpsgiving", being an extended family gathering and a feast, basically being Thanksgiving with a robot twist.
