Cloud of the Month: After winning the Middlemost Post's "Cloud of the Month" award, Parker begins to get into it.
"Cloud of the Month" provides examples of:
- Acquired Situational Narcissism: Parker literally let their achievement of being Middlemost Post's Employee of the Month to their head, so much that it grows bigger.
- Employee of the Month: The promise of the episode, where Parker is honored as "Cloud of the Month."
- Fun with Acronyms: R.U.S.S. (Russell Unified Sorting System)
- George Jetson Job Security: Parker somehow managed to fire Angus from his own postal job, which does not end well for him.
- High-Pressure Emotion: Angus' reaction to getting fired by Parker.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Angus feels this way after hurting Parker's feelings.
- Non-Uniform Uniform: This is the only time we ever seen the Middlemost Post staff wear postal uniform.
- Standard Office Setting: The Middlemost Post eventually becomes this.
A. Plumber: Parker calls a plumber when the toilet is clogged: It's Ryan who has dressed up to solve the problem.
"A. Plumber" provides examples of:
- A Day in the Limelight: Ryan's biggest role ever is in this episode and he spent majority of it speaking in an Italian accent.
- Art Shift: As Mayor Peeve explains his plan, the art style changes into a blocky style with no outlines.
- Do-It-Yourself Plumbing Project: The whole premise of the episode.
- Evil Plan: Having Ryan dressed up as a plumber was all part of Mayor Peeve's plans to destroy the Middlemost Post.
- Good Angel, Bad Angel: Parker gets one, in which the bad cloud blew away the good cloud.
- Hard-Work Montage: Features Angus and "Rocco" working together to fix the pipes, complete with a letterboxed aspect ratio and 80s style music.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: No one noticed the fact that Ryan and later Mayor Peeve were in disuigse as an Italian plumber. Ryan was pretty close to taking off his disguise, though.
- Tuckerization: Ryan's plumber disguise is named after the story editor of the show, Rocco Pucillo.
- Shout-Out: With the way Ryan does an Italian accent while disguised as a plumber, it's an obvious reference to Super Mario Bros..
