History YMMV / StevenUniverseS2E4SayUncle

* GeniusBonus: Despite not being canon, this episode included one odd bit of foreshadowing regarding Steven's mother. While examining Steven's gem, Uncle Grandpa tells him "You should make sure to get this thing polished at least twice a year." Rose quartz doesn't need regular cleaning unless soiled -- but ''diamonds'' require regular cleaning to maintain brilliance. It becomes even more HilariousInHindsight when you notice that Pearl covers her mouth after Uncle Grandpa says this, just as she often did when running into her geas against discussing Rose's past.

* HarsherInHindsight:
** Sadie and Lars being on a sinking ship as Lars cries out "[[ShipSinking Our Ship!]]" is a fun little meta joke initially. Come ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'' however, [[spoiler:and their ship would sink for real.]]
** Steven receives a faux doctor’s physical from Uncle Grandpa, with special focus given to Steven’s gem being examined with a stethoscope and responding with an odd noise. In ''Future'', Steven also undergoes a physical, canonically his first ever in fact, and an odd noise emanating from his gem when examined by a stethoscope [[spoiler:turns out to be a symptom of Steven’s post-traumatic stress disorder.]]

* BizarroEpisode: The entire episode has a multitude of over-the-top and nonsensical events, since it's a CanonDiscontinuity episode. Fan reception to this was...''mixed'', to say the least.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Not physically present, but when UG runs down his checklist of Cartoon Network worlds he's dropped by, he lists most of the main characters that are children and human, including ones from [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory about half]] [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls the original]] [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Cartoon Cartoons]], [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy some of]] [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends the]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee mid-2000s]] [[WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack series]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime and the]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}} current series]]. In the middle, he's got ''WesternAnimation/SwatKats'', whose main characters are adult [[FunnyAnimal non-humans]] and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking was created for]] Creator/{{TBS}} before even the Cartoon Cartoons, though reruns have aired on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. (Rebecca Sugar [[http://www.laweekly.com/arts/steven-universe-the-first-cartoon-network-show-created-solely-by-a-woman-4184413 stated this was a favorite show of hers when she was growing up]], and some of the other Crewniverse staffers have made reference to it, which may explain it.)
