* MicroDieting: Subverted when Richard, attempting to diet, says he read that he'll eat less if he uses tiny plates. He sits down to dinner with a single lettuce leaf on a tiny plate...only to reveal that the entire dinner table is covered in tiny plates holding all sorts of food.

* DroolHello: Richard drools on Darwin during a CeilingCling which freaks him out. He calms down upon realizing it's just saliva, before freaking out even harder because of how gross that is.

* AbsenteeActor: Neither Nicole or Anais appear in the episode. Ben Bocquelet (the show creator) actually explained why Nicole wasn't in this episode and how'd she react to Richard being muscular if she were in this episode (to paraphrase, she wouldn't have found Richard attractive because she likes him "squishy")

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: How Richard goes about dieting. He reads that using tiny plates helps you eat less, but doesn't get that he's only supposed to eat one tiny plate per meal. Along with that he tries multiple single-food diets at the same time which makes him eat even ''more'' than he usually does ''and'' orders a pizza as a reward for dieting.
