* ExtraDigits: Corona's former King Robin the Eleventh is called that for having eleven fingers. When a thief steals his portrait and leaves a fake one, the switch is noticed because King Robin is portrayed as having only ten digits in the fake one.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Eugene fails bakery because of OvelLogic and it foreshadows how he eventually loses a later job as a palace guard. As per his dungeon duty, he's supposed to make one round every five minutes. When he makes two rounds in a row to have a ten-minute-break, the dungeon inmate under his watch takes advantage of this to escape.

* ShoutOut: A subtle one to ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''. The first job Eugene attempts is being a baker's assistant. King Roland the Second temporarily became a baker in "The Baker King". One of the other jobs he tries his hand at is being a cobbler. That used to be Queen Miranda's job before she married King Roland.
