- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In "Cosmic Catastrophe", the heroes tell Haddy Collider she could have just asked people to perform a dance for Galactoslug's birthday instead of inventing a way to force them.
- Forgotten Birthday: Subverted when Primadonna thought everyone forgot her birthday. She forgot to tell her driver to send the invitations.

- In "Stealing the Spotlight", when Bra Jabu needs help with something and asks if Kiya can help, she responds with "Do ballerinas twirl?".
- In "We Heart Art", Kiya asks a question to Jay and Motsie. Jay replies with "Do eagles fly?" and Motsie with "Do cheetahs run?".
