* InjuredSelfDrag: After Donna gets run over by her evil doppelganger, she's in horrible pain, bleeding in the street. For the duration of the short, we see her painfully dragging herself to her house, where the doppelganger is now tormenting her kids. She makes it to the front steps [[FromBadToWorse before the cops show up]] and arrest her, seemingly for something that happened to her kids in the meantime.

* BaitAndSwitchComparison: The initial commercial for Claridryl portrays a mother suffering from seasonal allergies, intentionally giving one the impression that Claridryl is a medication for the springtime sniffles. At no point during the commercial, however, is it stated that it's allergy medication. The side effects, instead, make it very clear that Claridryl is intended as an anti-depressant medication of some sort. Reading between the lines to see the mother's true, stress-related symptoms makes this clearer.

* ShownTheirWork: Some of those horrifying side effects that can occur when taking Claridryl? They're ''real''. Anti depressants can cause heart problems, and in people with bipolar disorder, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other antidepressants can cause mania and suicidal thoughts. The kicker? Mania can happen with certain ''allergy meds'', too. The Donnelli Twins are psychologists themselves, and the short is an AuthorTract against the overprescription and abuse of [=SSRIs=], particularly the type used to "help along" an already prescribed antidepressant.
