* BrilliantButLazy: Robotnik falls into this trope all too well in this episode. Wes Weasley sells him a variety of weapons that are surefire tools to catching Sonic, yet Robotnik passes them all off to Scratch and Grounder, who of course fail miserably, being too dumb to use the gadgets properly. Oddly enough, Robotnik [[NeverMyFault puts most of the blame on Weasley]], demanding refunds and accusing him of selling defective products. Weasley points out that if anything, his gadgets have worked too well, and are in incompetent hands. After three failures, Robotnik remedies this by...threatening Wes Weasley into going along with Scratch and Grounder to oversee Sonic's capture, despite clearly being ''the only one'' capable of effectively operating the weapons, or at least more capable than his minions "supervised" by an unwilling peddler. The good doctor doesn't seem to realize capturing his hated enemy may require ''physical effort on his part''. You'd think he would either step up his game or quit whining.

* BurningRubber: After Sonic tricks Scratch and Grounder into freezing themselves with the Freeze Banger, he runs around them to get the ice they're trapped in to melt. However, Sonic doesn't stop running around them, which cause them to melt along with the ice.
* CatchPhrase: Weasley has two; "Hey palzy!" and "How are ya', how are ya', how are ya'?"

'''Grounder:''' Oh yeah, I knew that!
* PopcornOnTheCob: Scratch accidentally clones Sonic with the De-Atomizer when he, Grounder, and Weasley hide out in a cornfield. The real Sonic makes a trail of fire, and each of his clones holds a cornstalk over the trail of fire. This results in a giant popcorn ball which chases Scratch and Grounder away.
* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: In this episode's "Sonic Says" segment, Tails watches a commercial for Robo Dude, a toy robot priced at $9.98, only to find out it actually costs $99.98 with all the bells and whistles thrown in.
