7!!Tropes:
8
9* AccidentalMisnaming: While sleep-deprived by her father's obnoxiously loud late night antics, Star briefly addresses Marco as Oskar, the name of the guy she has a crush on.
10* BaitAndSwitchComment: "If your mother were here, and knew you were using magic inappropriately, she would send you ''straight'' to St. Olga's… but ''I'm not your mother''!"
11* BigEater: Helios, who after eating all the food at the party, makes plans to eat [[PlanetEater the entire planet]] next.
12* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Marco asks Star if the King's behavior (showing up unannounced and causing chaos) sounds familiar, she only remarks that he does the same thing to the Queen.
13* CompressedHair: In the opening scene, Star has the entirety of her knee-length hair contained under a swimming cap (though she could have used magic to achieve that affect).
14* ContinuityNod:
15** The creatures seen in Star's room include the Flying Pig from [[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E10BrittneysParty "Brittney's Party"]] and the poodle-taur from [[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E14SleepSpells "Sleep Spells"]].
16** [[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E2PartyWithAPony King Pony Head]] is one of the guests at King Butterfly's party.
17* FunWithFlushing: King Butterfly's [[MundaneObjectAmazement fascination with the toilet]] leads him to throw everything inside to watch it go down, with Star egging him on.
18* HypocriticalHumor: When Star complains about her father showing up and causing chaos, Marco dryly remarks, “I can weirdly relate.” Star says the same thing to her father when he complains about Helios crashing his party.
19* IronicEchoCut: When Star turns the house into a water park, Marco says that his father is going to flip. Mr. Diaz then jumps into the pool, yelling "I'm doing a flip!"
20* JerkassRealization: Both Star and King Butterfly get this at the end of the episode when they finally notice how their shenanigans affect the people who have to put up with them.
21* MundaneObjectAmazement: Star and her father regard the Diazes' bathroom as "the most magical room in the house", especially the toilet.
22* RunningGag: Throughout the episode, Marco is trying (and failing) to keep his socks dry.
23* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: King Butterfly decides to make his visit permanent, much to Star's chagrin.
24* TrashOfTheTitans: It doesn't take long for King Butterfly to leave Star's room a mess of dirty laundry.
25* WeirdSun: One of King Butterfly's party guests is Helios, a miniature, sentient sun, who's been known to devour whole planets if his appetite isn't satisfied.
26* WildTeenParty: King Butterfly invites all his friends to a party at the Diazes' home while the parents are away.
