* AdaptationalHeroism: In this version of Hansel and Gretel, the Witch is actually good. She took Hansel and Gretel in after their parents died. But...
* AdaptationalVillainy: Hansel and Gretel killed and ate their parents, then when Gwen adopted them, cursed her, tied her to a sink and turned her gingerbread house into a slaughter house, where they cook and eat anyone who passes by.



* BaitAndSwitch: After everything, it looks like Zog is going to give Bean some kind of praise for her actions... nope, he praises ''himself'' for his hands-off parenting skills.
* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: After being freed, Gwen declares she's going to go back to her sister, who lived in the attic of her gingerbread house. Which Bean blew up. Everyone suggests she go do something else instead (fortunately, it later turns out her sister is still alive).
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment:
** Among the many torture implements available is a very large book of [[SuckinessIsPainful golf jokes]]. Luci decides to read a few of them.
** Bean does this accidentally, trying to skip actually torturing someone. She offers to cook the guy a last meal, but passes and dithers on every option just because she can't or won't cook them, reducing the victim to screaming agony.
* EarWorm: In-universe, Bean mutters that the nuns' holy chant is going to get stuck in her head.
* EpicFail: Bean's every attempt at a job ends miserably.



* GainingTheWillToKill: An odd one, since Bean is mentioned to have already killed people (attempt on Merkimer and dumping Sven into the ocean notwithstanding), but still has problems executing people, until she kills Gretel by accident.



* NotHelpingYourCase: Bean is desperate for any kind of reason to not execute Gwen for being a WickedWitch, but Gwen won't speak in her defense or indeed do anything but [[LaughingMad cackle madly.]] It eventually turns out that she's under a curse that prevents her from speaking.
* ShoutOut: The episode title references the {{Cult|Classic}} ExploitationFilm ''Film/FasterPussycatKillKill''.

* NotHelpingYourCase: HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Stan and Bunty make their children work, and even tell a newborn that if it can cry, it can work.
* InsistentTerminology: It's Hansel und Gretel, not Gretel and Hansel!
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Stan makes a beheading joke when he gives Bean a job as an executioner, and tells her that she'll hear the rest in the first fifteen minutes. "Then it's basically just human tragedy."

* TooDumbToLive: Elfo not only doesn't suspect the blatantly shifty Hansel and Gretel, he gorges on their sleep-powder dosed candy, lies down in a pan and ''butters himself''.
