"The Starry Awards":
Patrick hosts his own awards ceremony. Granny Tentacles, whose sleep is interrupted by the show, seeks revenge and tries to sabotage it.
Tropes:
- Award Show: Patrick throws his own awards ceremony. Most awards aren't given in the way you'd expect: for example, Patrick reveals the winner for "Best Song" after singing a short intro. The award is given to the sheet music for the song itself.
- Black Comedy Burst: The episode ends with Patrick, Squidina, and Granny Tentacles being blown up by a bomb and dying, and it's hilarious.
- Bookends: GrandPat trying to steal Cecil's mug happens at the start and end of the episode.
- Comically Missing the Point: Cecil accepts Patrick's gift, but tactfully reminds him that "Father's Day was last year!"
- "Eureka!" Moment: GrandPat saying that he deserves "all the awards!" is what gives Squidina the idea to host an awards show.
- Hypocritical Humor: Dr. Plankenstein dismisses awards shows as being lame. Then he likes them once it turns out he's up for an award.
- Obituary Montage: Parodied. At his awards show, Patrick gives an In Memoriam montage, mostly consisting of characters on the show who are already ghosts or zombies. The last one is a slide of a random background character, who is in the audience and points out he's still alive. He then gets hit in the head with a falling spotlight and dies.
- Stylistic Suck: The show's Medium Blending gets attention called to it, where Dr. Plankenstein tries to turn his minions 2D so that they can go on Patrick's show and get an award. Rather than just being animated normally, they are Squashed Flat by a hammer and come out as messy 3D puppets that are straight out of South Park.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Patrick's memorial service mostly consists of characters who are already undead... and then "some guy named Lenny", showing a picture of a random background character. In the audience, Lenny points out that he isn't actually dead yet. He promptly gets hit in the head with a falling spotlight and dies.
"Blorpsgiving":
Captain Quasar visits Pat-Tron's family for Thanksgiving, and struggles to adapt to their robotic lifestyle, while simultaneously trying to impress Pat-Tron's attractive female cousin.
Tropes:
- Affectionate Parody: Of traditional holiday movies where the protagonist visits their friend's family and cannot understand their customs, complete with a romance plot.
- Alternate Species Counterpart: Pat-Tron's family are meant to mirror Patrick's but as robots, down to having similar names and designs.
- Art Shift: The Quasar movie has a different background style featuring more jagged and sharp lines, and everything's coloring is slightly displaced from its lineart.
- Bait-and-Switch: We see Quasar and the Saladrian leader engaged in what appears to be intense negotiation over a peace treaty. Turns out they're just playing Rock–Paper–Scissors.
- Contrived Coincidence: Conversed and parodied. Watching the movie, Squidina complains about Inga-Tron's introduction with "they just suddenly have a gorgeous cousin who shows up outta nowhere!?" Zoom out to show Squidina's own gorgeous cousin also watching the movie, who points out how unrealistic it is.
- A Day in the Limelight: This is the only episode to focus entirely on Quasar and Pat-Tron.
- Disney Death: Inga-Tron almost dies after Grand-Tron squirts water on her. Quasar manages to save her with a bowl of space rice.
- Informed Attractiveness: Parodied. Inga-Tron is described as gorgeous and a Head-Turning Beauty for both Quasar and King Saladrian, who fall in love with her at first sight. This is despite Inga-Tron basically being Pat-Tron with hair and a dress, and often being shown with a wall-eyed and stupid expression to sell this.
- Losing Your Head: The wedding ceremony would involves both parties' heads being torn off their bodies to be refit into fancy clothes; harmless to Inga-Tron, but it would kill Quasar. Patrick, who can safely remove his head, casually comments, "I don't see what the big deal is."
- Name-Tron: Pat-Tron's home planet is called Tron-tron. This applies not only to Pat-Tron himself, but his grandfather Grand-Tron and cousin Inga-Tron.
- Robot Names: The residents of Tron-tron are all variants of Patrick's family. Their names are Pat-Tron, Bun-Bot, Cecil-5000, Robodina, and Grand-Tron.
- Thanksgiving Episode: Patrick and Squidina eat a giant Thanksgiving feast and then sleep it off while watching a movie. Said movie is a science-fiction story where Quasar visits Pat-Tron's family for the holidays, and struggles to adapt (such as eating a Thanksgiving dinner consisting of computing paper and RAM chips).
- Toilet Humor: Quasar hides inside a car that turns out to be a Pat-Tron-like robot. It spits him out between its legs, complete with a spray of brown oil.
- Trauma Button Ending: The movie that Patrick and Squidina are watching involves a race of salad aliens who try to hunt down Quasar. After they finish the movie, Bunny comes in and offers them salad. They run out of the room screaming, to Bunny's confusion.
- You Mean "Xmas": Zigzagged. The episode does name Thanksgiving as such, and starts on the day. However, in the Show Within a Show that Squidina and Patrick watch, it's called Blorpsgiving and is celebrated by robots. This is despite the traditions of "Blorpsgiving", being an extended family gathering and a feast, basically being Thanksgiving with a robot twist.
