* AnAesop: Many episodes end with a lesson to the audience.
** "Max's Many Birthdays" gives us a lesson to enjoy your childhood while it lasts.
** "Society of the Treasure Trackers": Not everyone can stay "best friends forever". Someday, one of your friends will move far away for a long time.
** "Pinks and Blues": Enjoying what the opposite gender likes can be a part of who you are
** "Eternity Forever 4Ever": The person you idolize might not be the greatest person you thought they were.
** "Panic Flip Pinball": The consequences of cheating and HonestyIsTheBestPolicy. And [[SpoofAesop something about ice cream...]]
** "Childhood's End": Why the concept of childhood should not be disregarded.

Added DiffLines:

* ButtMonkey: Various characters will have this role at one point.
** Whenever Autumn gets the short end of the stick, it is because of her apathy towards what children like. She gets a little better each time.
** Max is proof that the apple doesn't seem to fall far enough from the tree. He has bad things happen to him on his extra birthdays despite Sally's good intentions, was forced to play her henchman in a game of superheroes, mocked by Steve for liking something girly, and puts up with his employees' antics on a near-daily basis.
** Sally also seems to inherited some of Autumn's misfortune. She has been accused of being an alien thanks to [[ConspiracyTheorist Niall]], lost [[CompanionCube Charmichael]] while trying to retrieve a frisbee, and found herself pet-sitting animals that would be considered more dangerous than a puppy, kitten, or pony.
** Molly is an unusual case in "Jinxed". Despite having ''several'' mishaps occur like not being allowed to talk for a week, [[ZigZaggedTrope it's balanced out with stuff like an overnight spa stay and a mountain of ice cream]].

* BeigeProse: The original ''Party Panic'' book was criticized for its bland prose, almost never describing the physical appearance of the supporting characters.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Boy or girl (and kid or adult), comedic misery is equal opportunity. If Gumdrops is any indication, ponies aren't immune, either.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: The kids.
-->'''Random Kid:''' Hey crazy! Where did you learn to drive?!
-->'''Linda:''' ''[Nervously looking outside]'' You know, that's a good question that I don't think you've ever answered. Where did you learn to drive?
-->'''Sally:''' ''[turns head around, but is still moving wheel like crazy]'' Learn? You don't learn how to drive. It's like walking or talking. One day, you just know how.
