Gross-Up Close-Up: When Barnacle Boy shouts "It's not me, you old coot," the camera zooms in on his face, showing all his wrinkles and liver spots as well as his bloodshot eyes.

At least until Barnacle Boy yells about how it's supposed to be invisible.

When SpongeBob tells the duo that they're almost finished painting the Invisible Boatmobile, Mermaid Man seems to approve of this.

When Mermaid Man is attacking the water fountain, one of the other residents can be seen shaking his head in disapproval.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: While the "School Drop Out Rate Soars" headline on the rest home employee's newspaper is easily visible, you may have to pause to notice that the headline below it is "Global Ocean Warming".

Earn Your Happy Ending: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy finally come out of retirement thanks to SpongeBob and Patrick, though they are the ones who they fight, and with that, they start a new show.

Most future episodes show Bikini Bottomites as far smaller than humans, and often depict humans in live-action.

Cool Old Guy: SpongeBob's speech about old people being great as it regards to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

It's implied both at the end of this episode and in later ones that coming out of retirement ended up helping his mental health by getting him to end his previously sedentary lifestyle.

He's also much more antagonistic towards SpongeBob here than in later episodes (though to be fair, SpongeBob is repeatedly sneaking into his place of residence and trying to force him out of retirement, so perhaps he has reason to be). Characterization Marches On: Mermaid Man's portrayal here is much different than in later episodes, with his senility being far more overt and his character being closer to a Shell-Shocked Veteran than a wistful retiree.Later, when the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy finally come out of retirement solely to get rid of SpongeBob and Patrick, Mermaid Man initially mistakes their rings for donuts thanks to the shape of the box, gleefully shouting "donuts!" with the same cadence as Patrick. Brick Joke: At the start of the episode, SpongeBob and Patrick use donuts as makeshift rings during their roleplaying as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, with Patrick gleefully shouting "donuts!" when his friend opens the box.SpongeBob and Patrick learn that the hard way, though they don't actually mind. Mermaid Man goes absolutely bonkers whenever someone says "There's evil afoot!".Batman Parody: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, specifically the 1960s version of Batman and Robin (with an Aquaman twist, of course).Bad "Bad Acting": SpongeBob and Patrick, pretending to be a helpless young woman and a crook, respectively, to get their heroes back into crime fighting.
