* GilliganCut: While trying to research PC Principal, the boys become mesmerized by the ads, culminating with them taking an interest in an ice cream ad, with the scene abruptly switching to them hanging out at an ice cream parlor. Later on, when Principal Victoria and her group enter the mysteriously abandoned PC frat house and find Leslie and PC Principal's State Farm ad, their attempt to investigate the ad immediately switches to them at the same shoe store the boys were at earlier on.

* NotMeThisTime: It's implied that the PC Fraternity was up to nothing in this episode due to mysteriously disappearing, with Randy even pointing out there's always someone there. Making everything the news said about their intent to be propaganda.

* NeverMyFault: Near the beginning of the episode, Randy tries blaming TheMan for all the changes around town despite the fact he was responsible for a majority of it. It's not until his interrogation by Mr. Garrison, Principal Victoria, and Caitlyn Jenner that he's forced to admit his involvement in South Park's gentrification, though he still insists that he thought it could be contained.
