Tropes:
- Abhorrent Admirer: Endive to Shnitzel, as usual. At first he doesn’t seem to mind as she treats him better than Mung Daal does, however he draws the line when she tries to marry him.
- Bad Vibrations: Endive walking to the front door causes vibrations so strong that they knock Shnitzel off her front porch.
- Bait-and-Switch: While Shnitzel is being attacked by a fire-breathing broccoli dish, Mung Daal calls for a glass of ice cold Frapple juice - implying that he’ll use it to help Shnitzel. The drink ends up being for him though, as he was apparently parched.

- Creator Cameo: In a Medium Blending example, a puppet version of C.H. Greenblatt appears as Shnitzel's "creator," saving him from falling to his death and telling him he needs to go back to Mung’s.
- Double Entendre: Most of what Endive says to Shnitzel can be considered this.
- Edible Ammunition: Endive tells Panini to “toss her cookies” and she does so, flinging chocolate chip cookies like throwing stars. Unfortunately for her, Chowder promptly eats them.
- Exactly What I Aimed At: Mung Daal happily thinks Endive missed when she threw a cake at him, but she was actually intending it to hit a panic button on the wall behind him which locked down her whole restaurant.
- Fire-Breathing Diner: After tasting the broccoli dish he made, Chowder burps a blast of flames.Chowder: Okay, maybe it was too much hot sauce.
- Frying Pan of Doom: Truffles asks Shnitzel if her dress makes her look fat and when all he does is shrug, she hits him on the head with a frying pan.
- Funny Bruce Lee Noises: Mung Daal makes these while getting ready to fight Endive. She’s less than impressed.
- I Can't Hear You: Truffles pretends she can’t hear Shnitzel asking for a raise even though he’s right in front of her.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Endive when she loses Shnitzel to Mung Daal, Truffles, and Chowder.Endive: Panini, go get me a Hot Smudge Sundae.Panini: Yes, Miss Endive.Endive: Make it a double!

- Kiss of Life: Endive pretends to drown so that she can get this from Shnitzel.
- Lohengrin and Mendelssohn: Endive has Shnitzel close his eyes to calm down after he tells off Mung Daal. When he opens them, Endive is walking towards him in a wedding dress as her personal organist plays the classic “Here Comes the Bride” tune.
- Modesty Towel: Trying to seduce Shnitzel after finding out he wants to work for her, Endive changes into just a towel as if she got interrupted while bathing.
- Noodle Incident: The pictures C. H. Greenblatt shows Shnitzel to convince him to go back to Mung’s show the following never-before-seen events: Mung and Chowder nursing him back to health when he had plague pox, the two of them giving him money to pay off his student loans, and Shnitzel running through a bad part of town after a crazy birthday party.
- Ow, My Body Part!: Endive exclaims, “Ow, my eye!” when Shnitzel spits the Frapple she had used to gag him back at her.
- Pass the Popcorn: While Shnitzel is telling off Mung Daal and refusing to go back to work for him, Endive pulls up a chair and starts eating popcorn.
- Rejected Marriage Proposal: Endive thinks Shnitzel came back to work for her because he’s in love with her and tries to marry him immediately. When he sets her straight, she’s disappointed to say the least.

- Undesirable Prize: Mung Daal says that while he can’t give Shnitzel a raise, he can give him something even better: a used pocket comb, made even worse by the fact that Shnitzel doesn’t have hair.
- We Need a Distraction: Chowder distracts Endive by touching his nose with his tongue so Mung Daal and Truffles can carry Shnitzel out of the restaurant.Mung Daal: That, my dear Endive, is what’s known as a distraction!
