10
11	!!Tropes found in "Please, Submit":
12	* AssimilationPlot: When Wakko gives in to temptation and opens one of the spam emails, he gets "hacked", becoming digitized and talking like the spam.
13	* BigNo: PlayedForDrama as Yakko does it before he is BuriedAlive by the killer spam mail.
14	* TheCameo: Slappy Squirrel appears on the cover of a comic book that falls out of Wakko.
15	* DontCelebrateJustYet: The Warners spend the first half of the episode being stalked by a "please subscribe" message that stalks them into reality. When even its supposed death doesn't stop it, they begrudgingly submit their e-mail address, which causes it to go away...and as they celebrate, spam mail starts raining from the sky.
16	* DownerEnding: Zigzagged. It appears all three Warners were killed rather viciously, then it reveals that not only are the Warners alright, [[GainaxEnding they are trying to convince you to go to a website that's obviously virus-infested.]]
17	* GroupHug: Yakko and Dot embrace Wakko in one, upon saving him from being hacked.
18	-->'''Wakko:''' What happened? Did I get the cool looks and hot prices?
19	* UnexplainedRecovery: Despite all three siblings receiving gruesome deaths, they show up alive and well to deliver the episode’s final punchline. Considering the many ways some cartoon characters have died and came back as if nothing happened, it's justified.
20
21	!!Tropes found in "The Flawed Couple":
22	* TheCameo: Larry (from the episode "Pinky and The Brain... and Larry") appears in the credits sequence of "Narfs."
23	* CloneDegeneration: It's revealed that the beings Nora has been dealing with have in fact been clones. When Brain demonstrated this to Pinky, it's obvious that each new clone has been degenerating, with the last batch being particularly bad.
24	* ContrivedCoincidence: Parodied. In the ''Honeymooners'' spoof, Brain speculates that the restaurant Pinky wants to go to will just happen to be the one at which his employers are eating, despite the astronomical improbability of that in a large city.
25	* ParodyEpisode: Or, rather, four brief ones in one. The pilots depicted are parodies of ''Series/TheHoneymooners'', ''Series/TheBradyBunch'', ''Series/{{Cheers}}'', and ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''.
26	* TakeThat: ''WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain'' was the result of the studio wanting to see Pinky and the Brain in a more sitcom-style setting. This short is nothing more than a giant flashing neon sign announcing "THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!"
27
28	!!Tropes found in "Everyday Safety":
29	* CrazyPrepared: The way to survive the "completely ordinary scenario" of a flood of burning-hot syrup from an uphill syrup factory explosion is with a survival kit that includes the following: a raft (to throw at the syrup to buy yourself time), a giant block of ice (to carve into an igloo), pancake mix (to eat while trapped in the igloo), a spigot (so they can put some syrup from the flood outside on their pancakes), an ant farm (to eat any syrup that spills onto your hands when you don't have a napkin), a radio (for entertainment), and a baseball bat (to smash the radio when it gets stuck on a boring channel).
