1'''The Day'''
2[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wander_over_yonder_the_day_1832.jpg]]
3
4Sylvia has to escape Lord Hater's ship, hampered by a snoozing Wander who won't wake up for anything.
5
6!!Tropes appearing in "The Day":
7* BadBadActing: The second time Sylvia's used the "truly a dark day" line (first being in "The Little Guy"), though she does put a ''little'' more effort into it this round.
8* CurbStompBattle: Sylvia's fight with the Watchdogs in the locker room cuts from the two sides leaping at each other, screaming, to Sylvia having stuffed the dozens of mooks into the lockers.
9* DreadfulMusician: Sylvia plays a banjo in an effort to wake Wander up. She...is not that good at playing it.
10* FailureMontage: Sylvia's attempts to wake up Wander.
11* HeavySleeper: Wander gives new meaning to the trope, managing to snooze through the entire escape attempt.
12* HopeSpot: Sylvia and Wander finally make it out of Lord Hater's ship... only to be stopped by Hater's new ForceField.
13* ModestyTowel: When Sylvia has to fight a locker room full of Watchdogs, she is disgusted to see that the Watchdogs directly in front of her [[NakedPeopleAreFunny are butt naked]] and demands that they put towels on before they fight. The Watchdogs oblige, but Sylvia then has to clarify that the towels were to be worn around their waists when they instead wear the towels around their heads while doing nothing about their state of indecency.
14* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Sylvia is understandably skeeved when she accidentally charges into a Watchdog locker room and finds that the Watchdogs directly in front of her are nude, so she requests that they [[ModestyTowel put on some towels]] before they fight her. They do, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint on their heads]], leading to Sylvia exasperatedly having to clarify that she meant around their waists.
15* NeedleInAStackOfNeedles: Sylvia stashes Wander in a bin of dirty towels, only to lose him in a whole ''room'' full of towel bins being taken to laundry.
16* {{Sleepwalking}}: Wander walks in his sleep, which at first poses a problem, but later proves useful in fighting his way out of Hater's ship.
17* ShoutOut: Sylvia says "[[Franchise/StarWars boring conversation anyway]]!" after knocking out Peepers and coming out of the elevator.
18* TalkingInYourSleep: Wander eventually starts babbling food-related nonsense in his sleep.
19-->''Evil pineapple king!''
20-->''Glowing ... red... cookie!''
21* TrojanPrisoner: To get past the Watchdogs, Sylvia disguises the unconscious Wander as a Watchdog and pretends to be his prisoner. While in an elevator with another guard, she [[OfCorpseHesAlive manipulates Wander to pretend to make conversation]].

23'''The Night'''
24[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wander_over_yonder_the_night_6779.jpg]]
25
26After escaping Haters ship, a refreshed Wander tries to give Sylvia a peaceful nights sleep. Naturally, it's not an easy task.
27
28!!Tropes appearing in "The Night":
29* ButtMonkey: Providing a quiet night for Sylvia proves very hazardous for Wander.
30* FacialDialogue: We get to see Wander emote like crazy once he realizes just how badly Syliva needs a peaceful, quiet night.
31* HereWeGoAgain: The segment ends right where "The Day" started. In fact, both episodes end with the beginning of the other [[MindScrew despite neither one having any flashbacks.]]
32* ImmediateSequel: The segment begins right where "The Day" left off.
33* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Fairly closely adhered to once Sylvia asks Wander to let her have a quiet night.
34* MixAndMatchCritters: Those "centipedes" are also apparently mixed with black-widow spiders and ''scorpion'' if the...episode stinger is anything to go by.
35* MoodMotif:
36** PsychoStrings: PlayedForLaughs with the cricket violinists.
37** Strings of "aaah get it off me get it off me" as the centipedes walk across Wander's face while he's trapped beneath Sylvia.
38* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack: Right after Wander tells the river to quiet down, his reflection tips its hat at him.
39* TheQuietGame: Subverted. Sylvia and Wander are close enough friends that she is comfortable asking him directly and politely to keep quiet all night for her after her very rough day; she doesn't have to dodge and make a game out of it.
40* {{Squick}}: InUniverse, even Wander has his limits, and that limit is understandably getting his face walked over by a crew of partygoing centipedes repeatedly. It's even underscored by a snippet of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" before he goes looking for something to muffle his screams of disgust.
41* VisualPun: One of the forest animals is a frog shaped like a mushroom. A toadstool.
