* BabiesEverAfter: The book ends with Billy Bottom and his wife Millie having a baby boy, who takes after his father in being a passionate streaker.
* BlandNameProduct: Zig-zagged. A viral video of Billy when he was a kid is shown on a website named "[=YouNude=]" instead of "[=YouTube=]", but other social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and [=TikTok=] and the publication Time Magazine are mentioned by their actual names.
* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: At church, a father tries to cover his daughter's eyes when Billy [[ToiletHumour urinates in the holy water from atop the crucifix]].
* TheFunInFuneral: A funeral is listed as one of the inappropriate places Billy chose to strut around in his birthday suit.
* GodivaHair: Most of the pages depicting Millie naked rely on covering her breasts with her long hair.
* HappilyMarried: In adulthood, Billy meets and falls in love with a woman named Millie, who becomes his wife and turns out to be supportive of his nudist lifestyle, even joining him in going nude.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The whole premise of the book is that it's about a boy who enjoys running around completely starkers.
* SceneryCensor: Billy's crotch is obscured from view by the hand of his sentient toy robot and a "Censored" label with a backwards R hastily held over Billy's groin by the robot. At the end of the book, the pelvic regions of himself and Millie are obscured by microphones held by interviewing news reporters and font on the cover of Time Magazine covering their relationship, with Millie's breasts covered up by a book on one page and GodivaHair elsewhere.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: Billy's baby son at the end of the book shares his father's love of running around naked.
* TheEndOrIsIt: These five exact words constitute the book's final statement, [[SequelHook hinting at a sequel focusing on the nudie antics of Billy's son]].
