4!!Tropes:
5* AllForNothing: Despite all the efforts the group went through, the ending scene implies that Howard's repairs didn't work and the space toilet still failed.
6* BrickJoke: The meat loaf stuck on the ceiling. It finally falls off in the penultimate scene, with Leonard and Penny confused why it was there in the first place.
7* DontExplainTheJoke: Sheldon keeps explaining all the jokes about Howard's space toilet.
8* LiteralMetaphor: Howard has to find a way to fix the space toilet or the waste material is going to get into the power turbines on the ISS.
9-->'''Raj:''' You mean so it doesn't hit the fan?
10* ObjectCeilingCling: When Howard first tests the modifications he made for the space toilet, he tests it with a chunk of his mother's meat loaf. Instead of going down, the toilet shoots it up, and the meat loaf gets stuck to the ceiling.
11* RelationshipSabotage: Leonard gives Stuart bad advice for his date with Penny. However, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he later comes to regret it]].
12* ToiletHumor: A lot of it regarding the fact Howard's zero gravity waste disposal system is on the verge of failing.
