9	* AndThenWhat: "Die, Sweet Roadrunner, Die" has [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Wile E. Coyote]] going through an existential crisis after finally catching and eating the Road Runner. He gets (and loses) a job as a waiter, then tries to commit suicide via ACME catapult before [[spoiler:finding God and becoming a Jehovah's Witness.]]
10	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Two jokes play off of frogs having penises. They do not.
11	* BaitAndSwitch: A short covers the origin of AIDS, and suggests that it's because a flight attendant had sex with a monkey...[[spoiler:except it turns out it's the attendant who's carrying the AIDS virus and gave it to the monkey.]]
12	* CharacterCatchphrase: The "Scotsman Who Can't Watch a Movie Without Shouting" frequently gives the admonishment "You're not using your brain!"
13	* CringeComedy: Some of the skits rely entirely on this, though some such as the dog getting fed chocolate and being [[MicrowaveTheDog put in a microwave]] were just tasteless for viewers.
14	* DeconReconSwitch: A man living in a glass house shouldn't throw rocks at people. However, what if the glass house has an automatic turret to prevent people from throwing rocks back at him? [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma Unfortunately in his hubris the very rock he's throwing at people is what destroys his glass house]].]]
15	* {{Deconstruction}}: One of the most noticeable and hilarious deconstructions is of the gameplay of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcF8KIwulw here.]]
16	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Finally killing the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote is struck with an existential crisis as he finds himself in dead-end jobs and wasting time watching TV. He eventually goes insane from the lack of drive and almost kills himself...[[spoiler:before becoming a born-again Christian]].

18	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Over half of the episodes have titles like this.
19	%%* FantasticRacism
20	%%* FunnyBackgroundEvent
21	* HappilyAdopted: A sketch is about a kid who sneezes out literal turds discovering from his parents with five feet nipples that he's adopted. However, in spite of the initial shock, he accepts it as no matter how unrelated they might be, his adoptive parents still raised him as their very own and tells them he loves them regardless.
22	* HypocriticalHumor: An episode is a lengthy discussion between a horse and two black guys about jokes based on stereotypes, with the horse taking great offense to the "why the long face" joke and firing back with some actual racist jokes. In the end, everyone involved tries to start over and introduce themselves. The horse introduces himself as Creator/SarahJessicaParker, [[DontExplainTheJoke a constant victim of jokes about looking like a horse]].
23	* LiteralMetaphor: One episode features a man who lives in a glass house throwing stones at his neighbor.
24	* ParodyEpisode: [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros "Mario Saves the Princess"]].
