- Incidental Multilingual Wordplay: A surprising amount of wordplay and euphemisms in ancient Greek have equivalents in modern English, including "rest in peace" as an inscription on tombstones, "No Longer with Us" to describe someone's death, "a clean fight" to describe fighting honestly, and "breaking wind" as a euphemism for farting.
- Recycled Script: A sizable amount of the jokes are reused for different subjects (e.g., changing jokes about dumb scholars into jokes about Cumaeans and Abderans), or are just slight variations on the same punchline.
