A.I. Is a Crapshoot: R.I.T.A. turns against T.U.F.F. when Keswick tries to unplug her to keep T.U.F.F. HQ eco-friendly. She turns herself into a mechanical monster using all the electronic appliances from T.U.F.F., and attacks Dudley, Kitty, and Keswick.
Ash Face: Happens to Snaptrap when R.I.T.A. blasts him with his own laser.
Cartoon Creature: Keswick is of a species that the other members of T.U.F.F. can't name. He has a pouch, gills, webbed feet, and is able to lay eggs. Lampshaded in this exchange:
Dudley: Man, you really gotta get out more. You know, find a nice female version of dog or kangaroo or whatever it is you are. Kitty: I thought he was a labradoodle. Dudley: He can't be, he's got a pouch. (Keswick stuffs an object down his pants.)
Keswick is revealed to have a hologram of himself to take his place at T.U.F.F. HQ while he fulfills his part-time job at children's birthday parties. Near the end of the episode, Keswick appears to have been zapped by a transformed R.I.T.A., but it was actually his hologram that got zapped and he was really watching from a safe distance.
When he and Kitty get demoted to serving swedish meatballs in the cafeteria, Dudley stuffs some leftover meatballs into his apron when his shift ends. During the climactic showdown against a transformed R.I.T.A., Dudley tosses them at her legs to get her to trip on them.
Darker and Edgier: Despite still having silly moments, this was probably the first "quite serious" episode of the series, compared to the overly goofy and silly episodes before it. With one of the rare (if not only) villains that was "truly evil, and not wacky in any sense" and the defeat of the regular villains were somewhat dark. Snaptrap being blasted in the face, pointblank range with a moon destroying laser, it never showed him recover, while usually he says something wacky, this time he just laid there. And the Chameleon being turned into a grub and trying to devour himself.
Disney Death: Keswick was presumed zapped to oblivion when he tried to help defeat R.I.T.A. in the climatic showdown. It was actually a holographic image of him, as he reappears at the end.
Disney Villain Death: After she trips on Dudley's meatballs, R.I.T.A. falls off a cliff and lands in the water below.
Everybody Cries: Dudley, Kitty and the Chief after Keswick's supposed "death".
Forced Transformation: The Chameleon is turned into a mealworm when R.I.T.A. uses his mealworm gas on him.
Fun with Acronyms: R.I.T.A. stands for Robotic Interactive Toasting Appliance.
Hoist by His Own Petard: When R.I.T.A. starts taking over Dudley and Kitty's duties in catching villains, she blasts Snaptrap with his own laser and turns the Chameleon into a mealworm with his own gas.
Hologram: Keswick is revealed to have created one of himself so it could take his place at T.U.F.F. Headquarters while he fulfilled his part-time job performing at children's birthday parties. During the climactic showdown against R.I.T.A., Keswick appears to have been zapped by her, but it is revealed that it was actually his hologram that got zapped and he was really watching from a safe distance.
I Taste Delicious: The Chameleon tries to use his mealworm gas to turn everyone in Petropolis into bugs so he can eat them. The spray backfires and turns him into a mealworm, at which point the Chameleon tries to eat himself.
Chameleon: Oh, the irony. I must resist the urge to eat myself. Well, maybe just a nibble. Aieee! Ow! How can something that tastes so good feel so bad?
Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You: After Keswick "sacrifices" himself to save everybody, Dudley, Kitty and the Chief are all crying in a huddle. Keswick appeared and asked why they were still crying. Kitty then exclaims, "Not now Keswick, we're too sad about what happened to Keswick!" Then they all realize that Keswick is alive and the Chief says "Wait a Minute! Keswick? You're alive!"
One-Winged Angel: R.I.T.A. turns herself into a mechanical monster using all of T.U.F.F.'s electronic devices when Keswick tries to unplug her.
Serious Business: As soon as the Chief announces that the toaster is broken, all the T.U.F.F agents launch into a mass hysteria.

Title Drop: Keswick calls R.I.T.A. the Toast of T.U.F.F. when she impresses everyone with her cooking skills.
Affectionate Parody: The theme song to T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. uses The Brady Bunch's theme tune, but tweaks the lyrics and graphics to fit.
Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: When the Chameleon, disguised as Bunny the Realtor, shows up at T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M.'s temporary headquarters, he brings them a basket filled with assorted teas, fancy cashews, and 700 rounds of ammunition. This is what clues Kitty in that Bunny is the Chameleon in disguise.
A Dog Named "Dog": As part of his plan to get revenge on T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M., the Chameleon disguises himself as a real estate agent, who is a rabbit named Bunnie.
All There in the Script: The elephant agent who freaks out whenever Rodentski is seen or mentioned is named in the credits as Agent Jumbo.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Dudley discovers that Bunnie is really the Chameleon in disguise when the Chameleon breaks character to catch a silverfish with his tongue so he can eat it. After the Chameleon reveals his ruse, he tries to destroy T.U.F.F. himself, but gets distracted when a ladybug crawls up to him.
Eek, a Mouse!!: Said word-for-word by Agent Jumbo, one of T.U.F.F.'s elephant agents who has a fear of mice.
Elephants Are Scared of Mice: Agent Jumbo is afraid of mice and will freak out when she sees one, especially Agent Rodentski, T.U.F.F.'s newest field agent. Near the end of the episode, Dudley tricks the Chameleon into disgusing himself as Agent Rodentski to scare Agent Jumbo so she will freak out and jump on top of him.
Evil vs. Evil: When the Chameleon reveals his evil plan to T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M., Snaptrap asks him why he'd want revenge on D.O.O.M. since they're villains like him. The Chameleon tells him that they never invite him to their weekly ice cream socials.
Go-Karting with Bowser: When every building in Petropolis is destroyed but one, the T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. agents are forced to share the last building together, and have to learn to live together while still retaining their respective good and evil personas.
Nice Mice: Subverted with Agent Rodentski; at first glance, he appears to be working for T.U.F.F. by informing them of D.O.O.M.'s plans to destroy their headquarters, but he's really the Chameleon in disguise, wanting revenge on T.U.F.F. for putting him in jail.
Painted Tunnel, Real Train: A variant; Ollie tries to prank Dudley by painting a door that leads to a dead-end to look like one that leads to the bathroom. Dudley goes through the door, flushes the toilet, and comes out unharmed. Ollie then goes through the door and falls into the dead-end.
Prank Call: When T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. have to share a headquarters, Dudley prank calls Snaptrap twice, asking for "Anita Bath" (I need a bath) and "I.M. Stinky" (I am stinky).
Real Men Wear Pink: When D.O.O.M. uses Mrs. Yip's Nail Salon as a temporary headquarters after T.U.F.F. blows up D.O.O.M. HQ, Snaptrap and his henchmen are shown to enjoy getting mani-pedis.
Scrabble Babble: When Snaptrap plays Scrabble with his henchmen, he uses the word "Schmoodled", which is actually used by both D.O.O.M. and T.U.F.F. later in the episode whenever something gets blown up.
Snaptrap: That's "Schmoodled" for 370 points! Larry: That's not a word! Use it in a sentence! (Snaptrap grabs a blaster and fires at Larry.) Snaptrap: There, I schmoodled Larry!
Spit Take: Kitty does this after Dudley tells everyone not to drink from the water fountain, which he had earlier mistaken for the toilet.
Spot the Imposter: Kitty suspects something fishy about Bunny when she actually gives them ammo to aid in their rivalry.
Stuff Blowing Up: T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. destroy every building in Petropolis but one due to the Chameleon disguising himself as Agents Rodentski and Weaselman to trick them into destroying each other's headquarters. At the end of the episode, D.O.O.M. and T.U.F.F. blow the last building up after Dudley prank calls Snaptrap a second time.
Suck E. Cheese's: After T.U.F.F. Headquarters gets bombed, T.U.F.F. rents a children's restaurant/arcade called Peet-za Possum's Party Palace as a temporary headquarters. While there, the agents get pinkeye from the ball pit. Peet-za Possum's was later bombed by D.O.O.M..
Shout-Out: When T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. have to share a headquarters, Keswick is at one point seen working on a miniature version of the titular character from The Iron Giant.
Toilet-Drinking Dog Gag: At the beginning of this episode, Dudley drinks out of the toilet, having mistaken it for the water fountain (as well as vice-versa).
Dudley is revealed to have mistaken the water fountain for the toilet (and vice-versa when he drinks from the latter). He claims that nobody put a sign for either of them, and tells all of T.U.F.F. not to drink from the water fountain, at which point Kitty does a Spit Take.
One of D.O.O.M.'s temporary headquarters that gets destroyed by T.U.F.F. is a port-o-potty.
To prove to Dudley that his Agent Rodentski disguise is convincing, one of the things the Chameleon does is show realistic-looking mouse droppings. The Chameleon claims that he really uses raisins, though Larry insists otherwise.
Tricking the Shapeshifter: After it's revealed that the Chameleon disguised himself as Agents Weaselman and Rodentski to trick T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. into destroying each other, Dudley claims that he doubts the Chameleon was really Rodentski, saying it was too realistic for even him. The Chameleon takes offense to this and proves it was him by turning into Rodentski. Unfortunately for him, this resulted in Agent Jumbo stomping on him.
Chameleon:(dazed) See? it fooled the elephant.
Voice Changeling: The Chameleon can imitate the voice of Bunny, as well as Weaselman and Rodentski, quite perfectly.
Wicked Weasel: Subverted with Agent Weaselman; at first glance, he appears to be working for D.O.O.M. by informing them of T.U.F.F.'s plans to destroy their headquarters, but he's really the Chameleon in disguise, wanting revenge on D.O.O.M. for never inviting him to their weekly ice cream socials.
After the Chief declares that T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M. has to share the office, Snaptrap doesn't know how will that work. It segues into a parody to the intro of The Brady Bunch, but tweaks the lyrics and graphics to fit.
