* EverythingIsBigInTexas: This show featured a parody of the story about a nameless Dutch boy who plugged a hole in a dike with his finger, which first appeared as "The Hero of Haarlem," a story being read aloud within Mary Mapes Dodge's 1865 novel, ''HansBrinkerOrTheSilverSkates''. There was a fat tourist from Texas waltzing about, taking pictures of windmills and tulips, while making comments about how everything was bigger in Texas. When the hole in the dike turned out to be too big to be filled with just Hans' finger, he and his friends save the day by stuffing said tourist into the hole.

* BarefootCartoonAnimals: Everyone except Lowly Worm, the one member of the cast who ''doesn't have feet''--[[TheOneWhoWearsShoes but wears a shoe anyway]].
* CarnivoreConfusion: The problem of who eats who is ignored. In fact one can find a family of jolly pigs at the supermarket checking out the butcher's selection. Yes, they are selling bacon, pork and ham.
** And let's not forget the ''[[AnimalFarm farmer pigs raising pigs]]'' in one of the books!
* CuteKitten: Huckle, an anthropomorphic kitten.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Hilda, an anthropomorphic hippo child, accidentally rips a door off its hinges when she is told to open the door so the students can go out to play. Later, when the door is fixed, she ''rips out the door along with part of the wall'' when she attempts the same thing.
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when she states, "Oh dear, I'm as strong as ten average little girls." Which [[FridgeLogic causes one]] to wonder, how strong are the girls in this universe?
*** Perhaps Hilda doesn't really know how strong an average little girl is?
* ExposedAnimalBellybutton: Huckle has one in the last page[[hottip:*:which is basically an anatomy picture]] of ''Best Little Word Book Ever''.

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: The brothers Pig Will and Pig Won't, who somehow manage to embody this [[AnAesop Aesop]] using only two people. As their names suggest, one agrees to ''every'' request or offer, and the other refuses every offer. No matter what their giggly hippo babysitter asks them to do, Pig Won't's refusal ends up making him miserable... somehow. Even when it's a simple preference not to play a certain game. One wonders how, exactly, Pig Will would cope with being so "agreeable"/mentally pliable in the outside world, without the protection of a benign authority figure.
** In the original book Pig Won't would always say "I won't", without even thinking about it. So one day when their father asks who wants to go with him to visit the fire station, Pig Won't declares "I won't". At the fire station, Pig Will gets to play with the dalmatian, wear a fire suit, play with the fire hose (with adult supervision), and it all ends with an all-you-can-eat hot fudge sundae orgy! When Pig Won't sees all the fun Pig Will had, he immediately becomes Pig Me Too. The moral's supposed to be: "Don't just blindly disobey your folks, because you might miss out on some pretty cool stuff!", but reeks more of "Obey all orders without question, and you'll get a treat! You know, a ''treat'', like a dog gets for not shitting on the carpet!". When Pig Me Too enters the real world and stops getting treats for obeying, he's going to feel like a dumbass.

* BananaPeel / EpicFail: After Freddie finishes his song about numbers in ''The Best Learning Songs Video Ever'', he slips on a banana peel and grabs onto the curtain, accidentally pulling it down and ruining the stage.
