Tropes seen in the episode:
- Basement-Dweller: Elmer Marmelman, the Crimson Chin author, lives in the basement of his own home, if him hoping he gets his new addition of the "Nerds Who Live with Their Mothers" monthly magazine wasn't obvious.
- I Want Grandkids: As the Crimson Chin author is dragged out by the Nega-Chin from his home, his mother yells out "Don't come back unless you bring me grandchildren!".
- Sequel Episode: To, “The Crimson Chin meet Mighty Mom and Dyno-Dad.”
- The Real Heroes: Seems to be parodied in this episode.
- Wolverine Wannabe: The comic book version of Vicky is this.
