Tropes

  • Fake Twin Gambit: When a rare Ultronian heart condition causes George to 'die' in public and be cremated (he and Janet were intending to discredit Piers as a doctor during the funeral but the condition kicked in again), they get around it by having George simply walk into the health centre and pretend that the person who died was his identical twin brother, Seamus, who was pretending to be George for a week as a joke.
  • The "Fun" in "Funeral": Thermoman's Bizarre Alien Biology acting up leads to his secret identity, George Sunday, being thought dead by everyone. The idea was that he'd sit up in the coffin during the ceremony before his cremation and make Dr. Piers Crispin look like an idiot (which isn't particularly difficult). Two things combined to put it under this trope: a sudden attack of that same BAB problem that caused all this in the first place, and a B-plot featuring Mrs. Raven fusing therapeutic and stage hypnosis. Hilarity Ensues:
    Vicar: One...
    Ella: Take me now my stallion Stanley, ravage me you raving beast! (Out of character as all hell)
    ...
    Vicar: Two...
    Stanley: That is my gift, that is my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man!
    ...
    Vicar: Three...
    Piers: <chicken noises>
    Mrs. Raven: Shame he won't get to four!
    ...
    Vicar: These are the things we will remember this good man for.
    Janet's Parents, Arnie, and Piers: (complete with the dance) YMCA... It's fun to stay at the YMCA
    ...
    (Bizarre Alien Biology is acting up, so George hasn't sat up on schedule, and Janet is trying to stop the coffin from entering the furnace cremation... thing)
    Priest: She's got the strength of ten!
    The Same Four As Before: (Start doing the Chicken Dance. Mrs. Raven falls out of her seat laughing)
