* {{Angrish}}: The Sarge speaks mostly this.
* ArmedFarces
* AxCrazy: Ren barely gets on his bed when revellie sounds, and is so upset he hacks the bed to pieces with an ax.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Upon being ordered by Sarge to give him twenty [push-ups], Ren shrugs and hands him a $20 bill.
-->'''Ren:''' "As a rule, I don't like to lend money... but you've got an honest face."
* DrillSergeantNasty: To be fair, Ren's constant antics would have made any drill sergeant worth their salt lose their marbles.
* GuiltByAssociationGag: Whenever Ren does something that upsets the Sarge, Stimpy ends up peeling alongside Ren.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Ren and Stimpy sing a wildly out-of-tune version of "America the Beautiful" at the end, and get worse as the song goes on.
* InelegantBlubbering: At its most inelegant for Stimpy during tear gas training.
* OhCrap: Ren has a '''huge''' one when he realizes the Sarge emerged from the mire and had caught him piggybacking Stimpy for the march through the mud tracks, even providing the titular pic for the WildTake.
--->'''Ren:''' You don't wanna anger that huge, dopey Sargeeeeeee... '''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!'''
* OcularGushers: In the tear gas room, Stimpy cries so hard his eyeballs bounce around on top of the fountains of tears.
* PeelingPotatoes: Followed by watermelons and atomic bombs.
-->'''Stimpy:''' Hey, Ren. I think the sarge likes you best, because he gave you the most potatoes to peel.
** During the watermelon peeling, Stimpy is mindlessly peeling his own nose.
--->'''Stimpy:''' [[CallBack HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! PEEL PEEL PEEL!]]
* SanitySlippage: The rigors of army life start to get to Ren. He eventually explodes, but it's promptly defused because they've graduated.
-->'''Ren:''' Psst! Hey, Guido. It's so clear to me now. I'm the keeper of the Cheese, and you're the Lemon Merchant. You get it? And he knows it! That's why HE's gonna kill us! So we gotta beat it. Yeah. Before he lets loose the marmosets on us!!! Don't worry little missy, I'll save you!

* SleepDeprivation: A major contributor to Ren's breakdown.
* SleeplessAlarmClock: No sooner had Ren set himself down to sleep after a long day of marching than he gets jolted out of bed by revellie.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Just as Ren goes crazy and tries to desert, the Sergeant tells them they've graduated from boot camp and are now "full-fledged tank paratroopers".
* TooDumbToLive: Ren's got more balls than brains thinking he can get away with bribing his CO ''after'' failing to follow basic orders, holding back his breath on gas room drill and getting Stimpy to carry him on his back during a march. It all comes back to bite him hard.
* TooImportantToWalk: When Ren gets tired of marching, he has Stimpy carry him on his back. Sarge is not amused, and forces Ren to walk with ''him'' on his back.

!!''Powdered Toastman'' contains examples of...
* BigShutUp: Powdered Toast Man's first line is him getting tired of the narrator's rambling introducing and telling him to shut up.
* {{Bowdlerization}}
** The scene of Powdered Toast Man using The Constitution' and the Bill of Rights, which he calls "some dusty old papers," as fire kindling was cut from reruns after Nickeldeon received complaints from viewers. They also changed any mentions of the pope by name to "The Man In The Pointy Hat" so as not to offend religious groups.

* OutOfFocus: Ren and Stimpy are only in one scene and both only have one line.
* {{Satire}}: In addition to farcing superhero cliches, the episode satirizes how easily abused political power is.

* SayMyName: "POWDERED! TOAST! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!"
* SecretKeeper: The lovely assistant.
* ShoutOut: Powdered Toast Man is a spoof of Creator/HannaBarbera superheros such as WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost and WesternAnimation/{{Birdman|1967}}, right down him announcing his name wherever he goes ''and'' being voiced by Creator/GaryOwens.
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: In the final shot, Powdered Toast Man is roasting a sausage while his lovely assistant is roasting a half-melted marshmallow next to it.
* StrappedToABomb: Muddy Mudskipper has the Pope tied to a barrel of lit dynamite.
