** When the narrator puts the speaker icon into a metal box to keep the player out, he says "Call ''ComicBooks/{{Superman}}'' for that one" and then adds a bit of Kryptonite to it "just in case". He then adds that he knows Superman does not exist but "as we are in a ga...no, we're not!"

** When the game starts glitching out, one of the solutions the narrator thinks of to salvage the not-game is [[VideoGame/GoatSimulator a goat]]. The goat being locked in the middle of a dungeon-looking area could also be a reference to ''VideoGame/EscapeGoat''.

->''Hello, user. I...I have bad news. Actually, there is no game. So, I hope you're not too much disappointed. You can still watch TV, go outside, read a book, ask for a refund...uh, no refund. That game is free..this is not a game, it has nothing to do with a game, it's just a massive package of boredom...There is nothing to do in here....you can quit and leave me alone...thank you...goodbye?..Oh, and please, don't touch the title. It's not quite dry yet, especially the letter 'o'''

* ChekhovsGun: The trophy you win from the game, the big box that the speaker icon ends up in, and the letters that make up the title are all used at some point.

* ElSpanishO: The narrator when you delay. There are a few legitimate words in there, but most of it are just garbled attempts at languages.

** When the narrator is trying to speak Spanish, he says "Señor ''Literature/{{Zorro}}''."

* WaterIsBlue: The goat is next to a lake of blue water. [[spoiler:You use this water to water the tree, and it even shows through the trophee when you carry it in it.]]
* YouNoTakeCandle: The narrator mostly speaks in normal English, but sometimes has this.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The narrator. He can be a bit mean to the player but at the end, it is shown he means well.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The narrator says "sexy girls and zombies, I understand, it's attractive...in a way, but goats?! I will never understand how a goat can attract users. It's probably a voodoo thing or something". In actuality, voodoo is about voodoo dolls, not goats or users.

* [[spoiler:FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Zigzagged. You can't stop the glitches, even with the goat, however, upon using the goat, the glitches, while not exactly "stopped", fill up the screen and then disappear, making everything return to normal. You can even forgive the narrator.]]
