* AllThereInTheManual: The timeline on the official Fleemco website revealed that the company's previous owner was Conrad's brother Chauncey, a stubborn man who refused to listen to other people or try to understand them, nearly running the company into the ground as a result (he supported ''UsefulNotes/{{Betamax}}'', for crying out loud). Conrad inherited the company after Chauncey disappeared during an ill-advised rafting expedition. [[spoiler:This serves as the only foreshadowing to the reveal that Conrad is Todd and Riley's uncle, explaining how they wound up in the orphanage and why Conrad wanted to teach them about understanding other people before revealing their heritage and birthright.]]

As the ExpositoryThemeTune goes, one day while cleaning the sleeping area in their rundown orphanage, orphaned siblings named Todd and Riley stumble across a [[AcmeProducts Fleemco comic book]] and an ad that promises a low-cost "replacement service." Mailing the ad back for $1.98, the kids get new parents: a British secret agent named K (along with her sarcastic talking car) and a none-too-bright professional daredevil named Dick Daring. In addition to this, they also receive a pair of Fleemco phones that allows them to dial the company's CEO, Conrad Fleem, and request for any person/animal they want to be replaced with something more to their liking.

* ChekhovsGag: In "Tasumi Unmasked", we learn that Riley sometimes watches a show called ''General Giraffe and the Goofy Gamehouse Gang'' whenever she feels sad. This is treated as a throwaway gag at first, but [[spoiler:Riley later finds out that Tasumi hosted the Japanese version of the show during her career as an idol singer.]]

When Riley sees C.A.R., she calls out to him, only to be chided for making a scene. She asks Todd why he would do that, only for Todd to block her from his view and act like he doesn't know her.
