Tropes:

  • Green-Skinned Space Babe: Aiyanna dresses as an attractive alien with purple skin, who was apparently Devil Boner's first love.
  • Relationship Upgrade: The Chart Guys are confirmed onscreen to be a couple here, as they get engaged right before Critic calls them.
  • That's What She Said: Devil Boner and Hyper Fangirl turn some of Critic's remarks about the portal into sexual innuendo.
    Critic: Oh my god, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
    Hyper: Sounds like us last night! [Hyper and Devil Boner laugh]
    Critic: It looks like a portal to another world!
    Devil Boner: Also something heard last night. [Hyper and Devil Boner laugh again]
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plotinvoked: Parodied with the episode's sketches to illustrate how Critic finds Dark Phoenix to be full of wasted potential. It sets up a lot of interesting plots, such as exploring a portal filled with euphoric fillings, Devil Boner battling his alien ex-lover, Hyper Fangirl learning she's a descendant of a race hellbent on destroying fanfiction, and Bill's entire backstory. However, Critic is forced to instead look over Jubilee, who's just whining about being possessed the whole time, and never gets to explore these interesting plot points.
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Critic snarks about Devil Boner and Shitballs' names, "What are parents naming their kids?"
  • Who's on First?: Devil Boner's reaction to seeing the alien is to remark, "Oh, shitballs." Hyper asks what the alien's name is, and he clarifies that her name actually is Shitballs.
