* The Snoozatron is an elaborate machine dedicated to helping someone get to sleep. Its only problem is that it requires a second person -- in this case, Gromit -- to play the role of [[CountingSheep a sheep]], thereby depriving ''him'' of sleep. And worse, Wallace nods off only six sheep in; the machine continues operating its cycle, leaving Gromit to resignedly read a newspaper as he bounces in the air.

* Shortly after the rocket is complete, there is an absolutely brilliant use of Wallace's [[BlatantLies "everything's under control"]] catchphrase - he puts on a pair of headphones that Gromit was wearing previously, makes an adjustment on the control panel, pats Gromit's head, and walks away with the headphones still on. What follows is a ''golden'' example of a TemptingFate - Wallace is saying, "Everything seems to be under control", but when he gets to the second half of "control" there is a sudden loud offscreen crash, followed by Gromit looking casually towards where it happened and then showing a very startled look as the headphones go '''SPROING''' over his head and back into their place. Cut to the next scene, and Wallace is lying on his back and giving a few small groans in pain.

* "Shopper 13" revolves around Wallace sending a robotic shopping cart with arms to do his cheese shopping. The entire thing is treated like an Apollo mission, down to the "launch". And as expected, Shopper 13 encounters a problem much like Apollo 13, in this case losing one of its wheels. Yet it manages to almost make it home using a baguette as a crutch, falling short when it tips over in the yard. And Wallace, being a LazyBum, deploys a "rescue probe" to retrieve the cheese, which fell out of the Shopper 13. The "probe" is Shaun the Sheep. Take a guess at how this ends...

* Wallace originally gave Gromit the Techno-Trousers to take him for walkies. Problem is, they move so stiffly that they just end up jerking him along, and Gromit escapes halfway through the walk to go play on a playground, having replaced himself on the leash with a stuffed dog toy on wheels.
