* OffModel: In a possibly intentionally invoked example (considering how blatant it is), the Ultraprison inmates' tops abruptly become cyan for part of the bathroom sequence, as well as undergoing a change in the artists. They then switch back to their blue tops, as the art style changes again. Some of the inmates also wind up not animated with their eyeshadow during the sequence, due to the shift in artist.
** Charise briefly has five fingers in the scene where she's at Jared's cell, rather than her standard four-fingered hands. What makes it more obvious is that they drew Jared with his usual hands.

* AbsenteeActor: The Twins are rather noticeably missing from the whole plot. The last time they were seen in "Vacation", they seemed to be left behind at the jail and didn't go on the cruise. Jean and Paul also don't really show up with the other inmates, save for a background gag mentioned below. Jacknife is also nowhere to be seen, as his female counterpart is arrested instead in the opening.

An intederminate amount of time has passed since [[SuperjailS2E10Vacation the season 2 cliffhanger]], and Superjail has now become "Ultrajail". Not only has the Mistress taken over the jail, but she's demoted the Warden, Jared, and the Doctor to inmates, and hooked up with Lord Stingray to become the "Stingstress" pair.

** Combined with "Off Model": Some of the Ultraprison inmates are shown wearing Superjail institutional coveralls in a ''very'' brief bit, when part of a building falls and crushes a bunch of inmates. It appears the episode might have gone through some modifications in production, or that it was a layout that couldn't be fixed in time.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As with her first appearance, the Mistress' hair instantly lengthens when she attempts to have a romantic moment in the bedroom with Lord Stingray. It goes back to short after she's exiled him to "The Tip". After [[spoiler: she has sex with Alice]] towards the end, her hair stays long as she decides to become a hippie.

* SigilSpam: Mistress' smaller spaceships are all shaped like her hat, her bulldozer is pink and modeled after her, and she demolished the Warden's tower to replace it with a pink-and-yellow version modeled after her own face. There are also those pink "Ultrajail" troopers that oddly seem remiscent of the Warden ones from "Time-Police".

* HyperspaceWardrobe: Used in a gag with Lord Stingray. Right after his entire uniform (save for his helmet) has been stripped off and he winds up in a bathrobe, he instantly ''regains'' his whole supervillain uniform after lying down in bed, throwing the robe off to reveal it underneath.

** Some Ultraprison inmates' character models are recycled and even recolored in the bathroom sequence. In particular, a smoking blonde inmate is given a much paler, black-haired "clone" in the scene of the women glaring at Fatty.
