- God Save Us From the Queen: The queen is depicted as lazy and egotistical.
- Grim Reaper
- Hive Mind: The alien says he belongs to one.
- Medium Awareness: The ex-secret agent has "Secret Agent Man" playing wherever she goes and Mr. Smith asks her to make it stop for the interview.
- No Antagonist
- Rule of Funny: The intention behind a lot of the dialogue and situations.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: How Mr. Smith reacts to the characters he interviews.
- The Voiceless: The mime, though it turns out she's only silent during the interview because of a bet that she couldn't stay silent for the entire thing.
