* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: An instance the heroes actually [[ATasteOfDefeat "lose" and suffer a comeuppance]] for acting more vindictive than the Urpneys could have made for a cathartic AuthorsSavingThrow concerning their DesignatedHero status in several early episodes. The final result, while still somewhat gratifying, seems diluted to [[PokeThePoodle it's lowest possible level however]], with all the AmusingInjuries (including the final gag) still directed solely to the Urpneys. It doesn't help the narrative can't quite decide whether the Noops have gone too far or not (see Narm above).

* TheWoobie: Frizz and Nug are once again dragged into a painful mission by Blob and Urpgor and get gratuitously punished by the heroes. When it seems they might have finally got the Noops to back off for once, [[YankTheDogsChain they still suffer a backfire after the Dream Maker destroys the dream bubble in response.]]

* IdiotPlot: The Dream Maker commits ThirdActStupidity by sending in the Noops to capture the Urpneys. [[ForgotAboutHisPowers His much easier method of magicking away the bubble is only used as a plan B]] after the Noops actually pull a VillainBall and their sadistic zeal causes them to fail.

* {{Narm}}: The overly dramatic build up and urgency to the Noops entering the dream seems gratuitous given that, 1. Frizz and Nug are blatantly stuck there dazed and defenseless, with the feud quickly devolving into a slapstick KickThemWhileTheyAreDown sequence afterwards and 2. The Dream Maker could have just gotten rid of the bubble the entire time.
