* DontExplainTheJoke: This episode ended off with Jake making a stupid joke about his butt. It doesn't help that he needs to make it more and more obvious, just so that his friends will laugh.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At the beginning of the episode, a team of faculty members teamed up to take down Adam. This team consisted of Principal Pixiefrog, Nurse Gazelle, Coach Gills, Horace Ferret, Mr. Hornbill, Miss Chameleon, Mr. Mandrill, and Mrs. Tusk. However, starting with the scene, where they were in the bathroom, the latter half of that list were absent from all scenes from then on, with no explanation.

* BlowYouAway: Monkey-ified Adam screams loud enough to create a gust of air, which blows the entire school faculty, and a number of students down the hallway.



* IWillFindYou: Principal Pixiefrog does a variant of this stock phrase.
-->'''Pixiefrog:''' Today is inoculation day. All students must be given inoculation darts. And don't worry. If you can't find us, we'll find you.



** It's also notable that Mr. Hornbill, Mr. Mandrill, Mrs. Tusk, and Miss Chameleon all appear in the group of teachers, but none of them have lines. In fact, right after the introduction of the established team, they are completely absent in all future scenes, with no explanation as to why they left.



* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Jake assumes this will happen to him if he gets a shot. As it turns out, this is actually the way Principal Pixiefrog reacted to getting captured by Adam.
