* BrickJoke: The vial containing the genetically modified mosquito falls out of the helicopter without anyone noticing or commenting on it. We see the insect flying loose in the last shot.
* EvilHand: Pinky's hands gain a life of their own, and [[TheStarscream quickly begin plotting against Brain.]]
* InjuryBookend: Although Pinky's condition was caused by a laser to his amygdala, it gets fixed with a TapOnTheHead from a helicopter crash in the same manner as this trope.

!!Tropes found in "Wakkiver Twist":
* AdaptationalHeroism: TheArtfulDodger and Charley Bates were members of Fagin's gang, and unabashed criminals and pickpockets in the original. Here, the Artful Yakker and Dottie Bates are Wakkiver Twist's fellow orphans in the orphanage, and are kicked out along with him. They are very blatantly not thieves and even get really indignant when Faginsniff suggest they try pickpocketing.
-->'''The Artful Yakker''': Pickpocketing?! But we're ChaoticGood! It would go against our whole CharacterAlignment!
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** Mr. Brainble. The Mr. Bumble of the original was in no way a good guy, but he wasn't plotting to take over the British Empire using orphans to power a giant robotic elephant either.
** A curious version with Dr. Faginsniff. He's a total {{Jerkass}} who lies, manipulates and uses the children in his care, without caring one ounce about them, and is downright mean and abusive to the Warners. While he's not ''that'' off from the Fagin in the original book (just a lot more obvious about his villainy) this spoof is obviously based on the musical, where Fagin was an AdaptationalNiceGuy and was mostly presented as an AffablyEvil LovableRogue.
* AdaptedOut: As the cartoon really only adapts the first part of the story, characters like Bill Sikes, Nancy and Bet are nowhere to be seen.
* TheCameo: Thaddeus Plotz appears as a judge.
* CrosscastRole: Pinky as "Mrs. Brainble."
* GenderFlip: Charley Bates is here "Dottie Bates," played, of course, by Dot. Nora Rita Norita plays the Mr. Brownlow equivalent.
