* PunnyName: Bonnie Appetit (“Bon Appetit”), Mr. Dairy Goodz (“Very Good”) and Mairzy Oats (a reference to the “Kids eat oats and mares eat oats” poem). On the band level, “Stars Of The Milky Way” is a double one, because not only are the performers dairy products (and thus “milky”), they’re also caricatures of movie ''stars''.
* RepriseMedley: The “Kabaret Finale” sees every character returning to give a brief reprise of their song.

[[DeadpanSnarker "Soarin’" can go get its own page.]])

''Kitchen Kabaret'' is presented as a cabaret hosted by a housewife, Bonnie Appetit, who introduces various acts, each performed by a different band of animate food items: A jazzy ragtime number by the Kitchen Krackpots (various condiment jars); a 1930s costume extravaganza-esque musical number sung by a quartet of dairy products; a parody of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” starring a bugle-playing slice of bread; a {{Vaudeville}} act by a grumpy piece of ham and an egg that can’t stop cracking bad jokes; and finally “Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit”, by far the attraction’s most popular song and a Latin-style number performed by, well, fruits and vegetables. It was “modernized” into ''Food Rocks'', a show that featured parodies of then-contemporary rock songs with the FramingDevice of a benefits concert for good nutrition.

* ParodyAssistance: Tone Loc, Neil Sedaka, Little Richard, Chubby Checker, and the Pointer Sisters all happily voiced the food versions of themselves for the show. The creators originally wanted Tina Turner to appear too (see NoCelebritiesWereHarmed), but both she and Cher (her replacement) turned the idea down, thus [[AvertedTrope averting]] the trope.

* ADogNamedDog: Miss Cheese, Miss Yogurt, and Miss Ice Cream, although it’s possible they all have a SpeciesSurname instead.
* AllThereInTheManual: The individual names of the Cereal Sisters.
* AnthropomorphicFood: Makes up the ''entire'' cast except for the hostess, Bonnie Appetit.
* AWeightyAesop: Good nutrition is important, folks!
* HurricaneOfPuns: Some of the acts, notably “Boogie Woogie Bakery Boy” and Hamm & Eggz’s performance.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Celebrity caricatures show up a few times: Miss Cheese sings like Creator/MaeWest, while her fellow Star Of The Milky Way Miss Ice Cream acts like a homogenized Creator/EarthaKitt. There’s also [[Music/TheAndrewsSisters The Cereal Sisters]].
* PunnyName: Bonnie Appetit (“Bon Appetit”), Mr. Dairy Goodz (“Very Good”) and Mairzy Oats (a reference to the “Kids eat oats and mares eat oats” poem). On the band level, “Stars Of The Milky Way” is a double one, because not only are the performers dairy products (and thus “milky”), they’re also caricatures of movie ''stars''.
* RepriseMedley: The “Kabaret Finale” sees every character returning to give a brief reprise of their song.
* {{Retraux}}: Most of the show’s music is styled like something from the first half of the 20th century: Bonnie sings the blues; the Kitchen Krackpots play a ragtime tune; Mr. Dairy Goodz acts like a 1930s crooner, holds an old-fashioned microphone, and introduces his Stars in what resembles an old “costume extravaganza”; the Cereal Sisters sing a parody of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”; and Hamm and Eggz perform a {{Vaudeville}} act.
* SongParody: “Boogie Woogie Bakery Boy”, of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”.
* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: IntendedAudienceReaction to Mr. Eggz’s jokes.
* SpeciesSurname: All over the place: Ronnie Rice, Connie Corn, and Mairzy Oats in the Cereal Sisters, Mr. Hamm and Mr. Eggz, and Mr. Broccoli of the Colander Combo.
* TokenHuman: Bonnie Appetit is a normal housewife, while the rest of the cast is composed of AnthropomorphicFood.
* VaudevilleHook: Mr. Hamm worries aloud that Mr. Eggz’s bad jokes will cause them to be on the receiving end of this, though the hook never actually appears.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Not as apparent as most instances, but Mr. Dairy Goodz and Mr. Eggz both have a “z” where an “s” should go. The attraction's name also has "k"s in the place of "c"s.

[[folder:''Food Rocks'']]
* AchillesPowerCord: The Excess are defeated when Fūd Wrapper unplugs their electric guitars.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Putting aside all of the AnthropomorphicFood (see below), you have the U-Tensils (cooking implements) and Fūd Wrapper (a “Nutritional Facts” label).
* AnthropomorphicFood: Just like its predecessor, ''Food Rocks'' has these making up a large proportion of the cast, this time mostly in the form of food-based caricatures of popular musicians (see NoCelebritiesWereHarmed below).
* AWeightyAesop: You betcha! This one is actually a bit more nuanced than ''Kitchen Kabaret''’s, saying that enjoying “unhealthy” food is fine ''as long as you do it in moderation''.
* BohemianParody: “We’ll Make It Count In The Kitchen” is one of the rock section. It opens the show and is reprised at its end.
* DiegeticMusical: In-universe, you’re attending a benefit concert for good nutrition, so the songs have good reason to be there. Still doesn’t explain their (lack of) length though.
* HarmlessVillain: The Excess don’t really do anything more “evil” than crashing a concert and just being jerks in general. Oh, and not caring about good nutrition.
* IAmTheNoun: Well, “we are the noun”, but the villainous candy bars have named themselves “The Excess”.
* InformedSpecies: Even ignoring her human features, The Sole Of Rock N’ Roll looks ''nothing'' like an actual sole fish.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The Excess are accompanied by an electric guitar riff that [[SourceMusic they’re implied to be playing themselves]].
* MassiveMultiplayerEnsembleNumber: The ending song, “Choose Before You Chew”, features everyone except The Excess, which makes sense since they’re the villains of the show.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: All ''over'' the place. You’ve got [[Music/TheBeachBoys The Peach Boys]], [[Music/ThePolice The Refrigerator Police]], [[Music/PeterGabriel Pita Gabriel]], [[Music/ToneLoc Fūd Wrapper]], [[Music/LittleRichard Richard the pineapple]], [[Music/NeilSedaka Neil Moussaka]], Chubby Cheddar (Chubby Checker), and the Get-To-The-Point Sisters (the Pointer Sisters).
** The Sole Of Rock N’ Roll is actually a special case of this: She was originally conceived as a Music/TinaTurner parody named “Tina Tuna”, before being reimagined into the “Music/{{Cher}}-accuda”. Since Disney couldn’t get Cher to voice her, she became just “The Sole Of Rock N’ Roll”.
* NonIndicativeName: Only one of the “Peach Boys” is actually a peach.
* NonMammalianHair: The Sole Of Rock N’ Roll has a full head of curly black hair, despite being a fish (and despite the attraction otherwise being very good about avoiding this).
* NutritionalNightmare: The Excess, a trio of heavy metal-playing candy bars and the villains of the attraction.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: The Sole Of Rock N’ Roll is (supposedly, see InformedSpecies above) a sole fish, which you don’t see much of.
* SongParody: Every song in the attraction, with the exception of “We Love Junk”.
* VillainSong: “We Love Junk”, the Excess’s anthem to ignoring good nutrition and the closest thing to heavy metal you’ll ever hear in a Disney attraction.
