* ReusedCharacterDesign: Captain Caveman looks just like the Slag Brothers in ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'', with the same big nose, bare feet, and body covered entirely by his hair.

* TimeTravel: "Prehistoric Panic"

** "Lou Granite" is likely a reference to Lou Grant of ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'', as well as the ''Lou Grant'' spinoff series (''Lou Grant'' and ''The Flintstone Comedy Show'' both aired in [[TheEighties the early 1980s]], on CBS and NBC, respectively). In that spinoff, Grant was also the editor of a newspaper.

* ButtMonkey[=/=]: Brenda. Not only does she always get captured by the villains or ends up becoming the butt of a joke or a victim of Cavey's antics, but she's picked on by her so-called "friends".

''Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels'' was introduced as part of ''Scooby's All-Star WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' on Creator/{{ABC}} in 1977. When not competing on Franchise/ScoobyDoo's team, Cavey and his trio of beauties solved mysteries in yet another variation of the Scooby format. Cavey, a caveman SuperHero frozen in a block of ice until thawed in the 20th century by the Teen Angels, kept many gadgets and live dinosaurs inside his fur. He also possessed superhuman strength, and (thanks to his club) could even fly; those powers were prone to giving out at unwelcome occasions. The Teen Angels are: smarty pants leader Dee-Dee Sykes, scardey baby Brenda Chance, and Cavey's girlfriend seductive Taffy Dare.

* {{Adorakable}}: Brenda.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Brenda is frequently bullied and stepped on by the other angels.
* MsFanservice: The Teen Angels. One episode, "The Old Caveman and the Sea", featured them all in bikinis. Turning the eyes of the show's male audience, Taffy wore the biggest shade of green. That is one lucky caveman.
** Issue #13 of the ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' comic book featured a page of Taffy in a skimpy green bikini. Issue #9 of the Marvel run of ''ScoobyDoo'' had all three Teen Angels (making a guest appearance with Cavey) in bikinis.

* ScoobyDooHoax: Used many times, but sometimes averted in favor of run of the mill crook.
