Experiments who appeared or were mentioned in this episode:
- Heckler (X-322): This episode's Monster of the Week; an orange cone-headed experiment with large front teeth and a bow tie marking on his chest who is designed to undermine enemy morale with verbal abuse.
- Reuben (X-625): Enjoys Heckler's insults towards Gantu and Hämsterviel while eating a sandwich (of course).
Tropes featured in this episode include:
- An Aesop: Words can be hurtful. But you don't have to let it hurt you.
- The Heckler: Hmm... I wonder what Experiment 322 is like?
- Insult Comic: Heckler's bread and butter is to insult others, although it's mostly to amuse himself.
- Jerkass: Before he reforms at the end, Heckler is one of the most obnoxious experiments in the show.
- Literal Metaphor: When Heckler has found his place on the dunk tank, he calls out to the first customer, "You throw like a little girl!" When it reveals that said customer is Mertle, she angrily retorts, "I am a little girl!"
- Sheathe Your Sword: Rather than get angry or upset at Heckler's insult, Pleakley beats him at his own game by impromptu comedy. Lilo, Nani and everyone else follow suit and playfully quip about their own physical flaws. This leaves Heckler a sobbing mess who has no material to work with.
- Special Guest: Will Sasso as Experiment 322 / Heckler.
- Troll: Heckler loves to make fun of people and get a rise out of them.
