War and Pizza

  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The robots go nuts after Donnie reprograms them.
  • Failed a Spot Check: April's boss fails to notice the absolute armageddon taking place in his restaurant, despite one of the combatants getting flung against his office's window hard enough to crack the walls. He only takes note when the entire place finally breaks down.
  • Heel–Face Door-Slam: For a brief moment it looks like Alberto might calm down when the turtles start to celebrate his birthday, making him cry tears of joy. Enter April with a Whack-a-Vole hammer.
  • Hostile Animatronics: Not initially, but after Donnie's upgrades to Alberto predictably go horribly, horribly wrong, Alberto starts rampaging through the restaurant, then brings his band-mates to life to do the same when the turtles try to stop him.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Donnie tries to fix the Alberto animatronic so that April can successfully complete her job. Alberto starts malfunctioning during the song and he brings the other animatronics to life.
  • Never My Fault: Donnie tries to claim it's nobody's fault that the robots have gone out of control despite the fact that Alberto malfunctioning is his fault.
  • Shout-Out: Alberto's glasses are similar to Kamina's from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Alberto’s blows up, the turtles bail on April before her supervisor arrives.

Newsworthy

  • Black Comedy: Warren getting cut in half by Leo. The turtles are freaked out at first, but then Warren shows that he’s still alive. Not only that, but he’s also able to slowly regenerate, meaning this must have happened before for him to learn this information.
  • Near-Villain Victory: Hypnopotamus gets the turtles under his spell. He's only stopped because Warren Stone saves them.
  • Noodle Incident: Raph is apparently not allowed to wear the hippo costume again due to ruining a 95-year-old woman's birthday.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Warren Stone saves the turtles because he considers himself to be the turtles’ greatest archenemy who is to defeat them.
