-->'''Cutter:''' ''[[TheStinger Davey! Whoo! Davey, Davey, Davey!]] Dave-aliciousssss!''

* {{Workaholic}}: This is how the other [=MIFTers=] describe David, Cutter even saying that he once 368 hours straight in a week without taking a break. Tylor points out how there aren't that many hours in a week and the others excuse it by saying it was a Leap Week.

* {{Improv}}: The subject of Mike’s Comedy Class this episode. Mike claims to be an expert, but all his improvisations are of him pretending to be a ball. He’s completely stumped when his students suggest cubes.

* InTheStyleOf: The Monsters, Inc. theme in the credits is performed by a chior. Humorously, this version specifically expouses about David and his hair.
* JerkassBall: The events of the episode only get kicked off because Roto (Duncan's therapy pet) ate David's hair. He only spits it out when everyone realizes that the hair isn't David's, and his smug expression immediately after confirms that he could have done that at any time - He just wanted to put Tylor on the spot ForTheLulz.

* RememberTheDead: The entire episode shows M.I. has dedicated an entire day to David's memory, as he was that beloved amongst their staff. Monsters go to the factory’s salon to ''not'' get their hair cut, since David never cut his, MIFT eats where David used to for their lunch break, and they hold a vigil for him in the afternoon.

* YouRemindMeOfMyself: Roze gives Tylor a piece of her hair by saying that he reminds of herself.

* NearDeathExperience: Tylor, in a desperate attempt to replace David's hair after Rotto eats it, almost gets killed in the same shredder shaft where David met his end.
