* SimpleYetAwesome: Ball-in-cup is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, but it manages to enrapture the [[ThrillSeeker adrenaline junkie]] teens and Crood-parents for ''days''. Even Hope, who spends most of the episode lambasting it, winds up obsessing over it.

* TheNewRockAndRoll: Hope quickly loses her patient when everyone else becomes enraptured by Ball-in-Cup when everyone is more invested in playing it than catering to dinner-table etiquette. After Dawn nearly walks into the exposed volcanic vent while playing Ball-in-Cup, Hope starts conspiring to make them hate it before eventually stealing it from everyone.

* TakeThat: Hope's MoralGuardian shenanigans towards Ball-in-Cup can be read as analogous to people blaming video games ([[TheNewRockAndRoll or whatever else the kids are into]]) for the world's problems. She blames the game for endangering Dawn when she's wandering near the volcanic vent out of fear that she was going to walk into it (though to her credit, she actually does try to get Phil to fix the vent to no avail), she tries fabricating evidence to prove her point with Gran's help and eventually she just bans the game all-together.

Phil invents an exciting (and very addicting) new game for the teens to try to keep them out of danger. Unfortunately, it works a little ''too'' well.
