* DrillSergeantNasty
* GuiltByAssociationGag: Whenever Ren does something that upsets the Sarge, Stimpy ends up peeling alongside Ren.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Ren and Stimpy sing a wildly out-of-tune version of "America the Beautiful" at the end, and get worse as the song goes on.
* InelegantBlubbering: At its most inelegant for Stimpy during tear gas training.
* OcularGushers: In the tear gas room, Stimpy cries so hard his eyeballs bounce around on top of the fountains of tears.

* SanitySlippage: The rigors of army life start to get to Ren.

* {{Bowdlerization}}
** The scene of Powdered Toast Man using The Constitution' and the Bill of Rights, which he calls "some dusty old papers," as fire kindling was cut from reruns after Nickeldeon received complaints from viewers. They also changed any mentions of the pope by name to "The Man In The Pointy Hat" so as not to offend religious groups.
** When reran in Australia, the flashing lights upon PTM's entry were slowed down in fear of causing seizures.
* TheCameo: Music/FrankZappa as the Pope/Man in the Pointy Hat.
* CatchPhrase: "Leave everything to me!"
* ConstantlyCurious: The narrator, enough to annoy even the main character.

* LemonyNarrator: The narrator is prone to SuddenlyShouting, but his introduction for PTM goes on long enough to piss him off.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: To save a kitten, Powdered Toastman stops a truck by crashing a plane into it. Seconds later, he haphazardly throws the kitten off his shoulder anyway.
* OutOfFocus: Ren and Stimpy are only in one scene and both only have one line.
* {{Satire}}: In addition to farcing superhero cliches, the episode satirizes how easily abused political power is.
* SaveTheVillain: The Pope gets Powdered Toastman to save Muddy. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} when Powdered Toastman ties Muddy to his own bomb while the Pope is not looking.]]
* SayMyName: "POWDERED! TOAST! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!"
* SecretKeeper: The lovely assistant.
* ShoutOut: Powdered Toast Man is a spoof of Creator/HannaBarbera superheros such as Space Ghost and Birdman, right down him announcing his name wherever he goes ''and'' being voiced by Creator/GaryOwens.
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: In the final shot, Powdered Toast Man is roasting a sausage while his lovely assistant is roasting a half-melted marshmallow next to it.
* StrappedToABomb: Muddy Mudskipper has the Pope tied to a barrel of lit dynamite.
