This episode has examples of
- Badass Biker: AndrAIa reboots into one in the game.
- Bait-and-Switch Comment: Hexadecimal noticing how her body's been modified.Hexadecimal: WHO MADE ME LOOK LIKE THIS?!
[Herr Doktor nervously points at Bunnyfoot]
Hexadecimal: I-I-I-I-I-I... like it. - Big "NO!" / Eat the Camera: The camera zooms out of Enzo's mouth as he screams a Big "NO!", as a game cube leaves when the user wins.
- Call-Back: Megabyte prevented Enzo from entering the games, just like he did with Bob in the first episode, which Phong pointed out.
- Divide and Conquer: As stated by Mouse, this is why Megabyte is trashing Enzo.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Hack and Slash are noticeably horrified when Megabyte has a Binome executed.
- Exactly What I Aimed At: Enzo is placed in the cartoony game where he and the others must kill Rocky the Rabid Racoon. He reboots into Elmer Fudd. Everyone laughs at him, until he steals Fudd's signature line, "Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wacoons," and takes aim, firing one shot and setting up a chain reaction of impossible proportions that ends with a vulture being hit with a firework, thus turning into an Instant Roast, then falling on Rocky's head, which leads to him wandering into an oncoming train.
- Greater Need Than Mine: AndrAIa prevents Mouse from entering the game because if their icons don't work, AndrAIa can survive as a game sprite.
- Instant Roast: Enzo fires off his gun, which sets off a long series of events that at one point leads to a vulture being hit with a firework, before falling on Rocky the Raccoon, Enzo's intended target.
- Lampshade Hanging: After Megabyte and his general discuss the plan to keep Enzo out of games, the system announces that one is about to land.Megabyte: Excellent. Ha-ha, as if on cue.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Dot observes that the ports to the Net are locked and thus Megabyte cannot even try to achieve his dream of reaching the Supercomputer. Phong admits that Bob's actions in "Web World Wars" have unintentionally locked them all in a cage with a tiger.
- Resistance Is Futile: As Megabyte reminds various Binomes after having one deleted for speaking against him.
- Shout-Out:
- The game "Rocky the Rabid Raccoon" is one big send-off to Looney Tunes. Enzo even reboots into an Elmer Fudd Expy, complete with speech style.
- A Binome patterned after Captain Picard stands up to Megabyte and says the line has to be drawn here. After having him deleted, Megabyte remarks that resistance is futile.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Rocky the Rabid Raccoon just before getting flattened by the steamroller.
- Would Hurt a Child: Double subverted. Megabyte orders his general to just keep Enzo out of games but otherwise leave him unharmed. He says the boy is far more useful to him alive... before making a point of adding "for the moment."
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: AndrAIa fakes her zip board losing power so that she can be in a position to swipe Mouse's and leave her behind.
