  • Glowing Flora: The backdrop of "Dance Monkey" features bouncing, glowing mushrooms.
  • Mayincatec: The design of Dragonfly's head and wings draw heavily from ancient Mayan and Aztec artwork.
  • Running Gag: Dannii or Hughsey guessing her identity as Sophie Monk, and Jackie O denying this because she's good friends with Sophie, and she would know. At one point, she even called Sophie on-screen to prove it. It WAS Sophie Monk!

    • Proclaims to have been in competition with Rachel Griffiths once. They were both in 'House Husbands' with Rachel playing the ex-wife of Morris’ husband.
  • Handicapped Badass: wrenched her back before filming, to the extent that she made other media appearances wearing a back brace, but couldn't mention or show it because her injury was well-known at the time. After being unmasked, she remarked that her doctor was going to kill her for making it worse.
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: Urzilla instantly had this reaction from Kitten's first performance, to the point of it becoming a Running Gag. Occasionally Hughsey had the same reaction, squabbling with Urzilla over who'd get to take Kitten home - which makes it even better that Kitten was the first celebrity who's identity was successfully guessed by Dave Hughes.

    • He says that he finds things work better in fours. Traditionally, there have been four Wiggles.

  • Giant Poofy Sleeves: Puppet’s backup dancers for "Burning Love" wear all-blue outfits with frilly, sparkly sleeves.
  • Gospel Revival Number: "Somebody to Love" features a gospel choir dressed in robes matching Puppet's suit.
  • Marionette Motion: Puppet's motions are very stiff, especially his arms. No doubt because of the costume's big dummy hands. During his unmasking, Osher had to help him take off the hands so he could take off the mask! The backup choir during "Somebody to Love" and his dancers for "Take On Me" also mimic Puppet's movements in this fashion.
  • Piano Key Wave: Evoked for the backdrop of "Burning Love" with spinning rows of piano keys. The backup dancers for the number also wear masks styled like a row of piano keys twirled around their heads.
  • Retraux: "Take On Me" fully embraces the song's legacy as an 80s classic with staging that emulates the wacky shapes of 80s Memphis patterns.

  • Badass Biker: His costume's clothes are based on motorbike leathers. "Can't Hold Us" features Frillneck astride a sports bike while accompanied by dancers in motocross gear.
  • Cape Wings: A variant. Rather than forming actual wings, his frills act as a cape when lowered.
  • Expy: Of the Dragon from season one. Both are reptiles and both costumes also feature similar mechanisms that unfurl their features (Dragon’s wings and Frillneck’s frill).
  • Foreshadowing: A rainbow flag is seen in some of his packages Eddie Perfect is a prominent supporter of gay rights
    • The flag of The Netherlands represents the character Frillneck played on "Series/Offspring". His name was Mick Holland.
  • Lizard Folk: Frilled-neck lizards are an obscure pick for lizard people. Also Frillneck's accompanied by a bunch of lizard girls during "Bang Bang".

  • Lovable Lizard: A frilled-neck lizard at that.

  • Pimped-Out Cape: The rods of his cape-frills feature tracks of lights running along them.

The staging for "Blinding Lights" features a ton of golden decoration as well, from the lighting to the backup dancers, and the trippy golden backdrop.
  • Living Statue: She looks like a golden Baroque statue come to life.
  • Masquerade Ball: Queen is hosting one of these during "Shake It Off".
  • One-Woman Wail: Queen is the absolute master of this, which is no surprise considering Miller-Heidke is a highly accomplished opera singer. Most notably is how she breaks into horrific, almost screechy operatic wails at the climax of "Paint It Black".
  • Pimped-Out Dress: She's perhaps the most elaborate costume on the show to date. Her dress consists of black fabric and decorated with a very wide and intricate Rococo golden frame. Her royal dress also features large puffy shoulders and a high collar. The panniers of her skirt are so wide (and presumably heavy) that whenever she does anything but walk around the stage during a performance, the original skirt is switched out for a heavily embroidered, flared miniskirt. This is then taken to the extreme during "I Will Survive" in the finale, where Queen is lifted high into the air while wearing a giant black and gold dress that's draped over the entire stage.
