* Also when they're teenagers, Odette and Derek are playing cards (Derek mentions how "I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards", implying she's won every game they've played). Bromley stands behinds Odette and tries to "help" Derek by signing what cards she has. What makes it funny? Odette sings "I think I won again!" revealing her hand. Derek and Bromley are flabbergasted.

* The extended ''Series/HellsKitchen'' joke where Rogers acts like a G-rated Gordan Ramsay, complete with insults, spitting out food that doesn't meet his standards, kicking chefs out of the "kitchen" for disrespecting him. He does this while tied up (even hitting the boggs with the pole he's tied to) and even though they're going to eventually cook and eat ''him''. There are even cutaways for the boggs interview style where they comment as if they really were competitors but also not, i.e. "I'm honored to learn from Chef, and also to eat him".

At this point, the two parents are just prompting their children out of sheer habit and etiquette.

* When Derek and Odette are teenagers, there's an amusing juxtoposition between how the two express their reluctance. You have Odette who plays tug-of-war as her father struggles to pull her out of the carriage. And then you have Derek who indifferently sits up in a tree, where there's nothing Queen Urberta can do except nag at her son until she's blue in the face.
