George Jetson Job Security: Inverted. It's hard to fire someone with a Reset Button.
Groundhog Day Loop
Product Placement: Nestea Red Tea!
Magical Computer: Literally.
Magic A Is Magic A: If it's a shortcut, it can be done.
Mental Time Travel: With Ctrl Z, you travel to the time you were
Running Gag: Stuart always seems to pop up at the exact same place when he spams the Undo key.
Reset Button: Natch.
Shout-Out: To Back to The Future, of course.
Story-Breaker Power: Ctrl Z, temporarily Nerfed.
Where It All Began: Ctrl Home takes you back to your hometown.
