->''"Captaiiiinnnn...'' '''''CAAAAAAAVEMAAAAAANNNNN!!!'''''"

%%* ShesGotLegs: Taffy sure takes the cake.

Voice talent included Creator/MelBlanc, Laurel Page, Marilyn Schreffler and Vernée Watson-Johnson.

%%* HartmanHips: All the Teen Angels, but Taffy is the biggest example.%%Of what?
%%* HulkSpeak: Need you ask?%%You need answer.

* OneSteveLimit: Seemingly averted in "Cavey and the Kabuta Clue". The Teen Angels are meeting with one of their friends. His father's name is clearly Winston Downes and his uncle is Walton Downes. During the wrap up Taffy responds to the friend with "We sure do Win." Implying their friend is probably a Winston Downes Jr. Although this is a rare example where the friend of the YouMeddlingKids did not have their name dropped at the beginning of the episode.

* RapidAging: Happens to a man during "The Creepy Claw Caper" as ransom for a chest of gold coins. It later happens to the Teen Angels in the same episode. They get better at the end.

* TwinSwitch: An odd location example, in which there are Twin Lodges that the crook attempts to lead them to a staged scene in the second lodge to make them think a scepter was stolen.

-> ''"Set free by the Teen Angels from his prehistoric block of glacier ice, comes the world's first superhero... Captain Caveman! Now the constant companion to the Teen Angels, Brenda, Dee-Dee and Taffy, in their hilarious and sometimes scary mystery missions. Get ready for..."''

* OpeningNarration: Creator/GaryOwens' opening narration describes how Captain Caveman became an ally to the Teen Angels:
-->"Set free by the Teen Angels from his prehistoric block of glacier ice comes the world's first superhero, Captain Caveman! Now the constant companion to the Teen Angels Brenda, Dee Dee, and Taffy in their hilarious and sometimes scary mystery missions. Get ready for ''Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels''!"

Now the constant companion to the Teen Angels Brenda, Dee Dee, and Taffy in their hilarious, and sometimes scary mystery missions. Get ready for Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels!"

In later series, Captain Caveman was shown living alongside WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones. The early 1980s ''The Flintstone Comedy Show'' starred Cavey in his own segment, as Bedrock's resident superhero, often accompanied on adventures by newspaper reporters Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble. On ''[[SpinoffBabies The Flintstone Kids]]'', Captain Caveman and his son were the stars of a ShowWithinAShow.

** The Brazilian dub goes along, naming the Teen Angels as "As Panterinhas" (Charlie's Angels were named "Panteras") and they got a DubNameChange to match the original Angels: Dee Dee became Sabina (after Sabrina), Taffy became Nelly (after Kelly) and Brenda became Gilda (after Jill). Sabina's voice actress is the same of Sabrina, Sumara Louise.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Taffy Dare's design obviously was based on Creator/FarrahFawcett.

%%* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: An episode features a snow wolf monster that in all honestly resembles a yeti more than a werewolf.%%So how is it an example?
* PrimitiveClubs: Played with. Captain Caveman wields a big wooden club as his primary weapon, but it's also a SwissArmyWeapon that contains numerous tools that can be deployed to get him and the Teen Angels out of a jam.

* BambooTechnology: Cavey's various Stone Age gadgets in his club, plus the spinoffs set in the Flintstones' era.
* BeachEpisode: "The Old Caveman and the Sea" features the entire plot at a beach or in the ocean.

* TheDragAlong: Brenda Chance.

* GenkiGirl: Taffy Dare.
* HairyHammerspace: Captain Caveman's fur contains multitudes of random objects and multitudes of actually living dinosaurs.
* HartmanHips: All the Teen Angels. But Taffy is the biggest example.
* HulkSpeak: Need you ask?
* TheLeader: Dee Dee fills this role in this series.
* 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 brightest 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 ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' had all three Teen Angels (making a guest appearance with Cavey) in bikinis.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: An episode featuring a snow wolf monster that in all honestly resembles a yeti more than a werewolf.

* RapidAging: Happens to a man during the episode "The Creepy Claw Caper" as ransom for a chest of gold coins. Later happens to the Teen Angels in the same episode. They get better at the end.
* SayMyName: Captain's trademark yell of his own name before his heroics.
* ShesGotLegs: Taffy sure takes the cake.

* WhyAreWeWhispering: This happens in at least one episode.
* WouldYouDoItForAScoobySnack: Taffy can sweet talk Captain Caveman into just about any daffy Taffy Plan.

!!The Captain Caveman segments on ''The Flintstone Comedy Show'' provide examples of:

* ArchEnemy: Mr. Bad
* ChasteToons: Subverted.

* BigEater: He often eats large quantities of food and stuff that isn't supposed to be edible. The cartoon's intro shows him eating a safe box in a single bite.

* NaturalDisasterCascade: Considering that the weather-controlling villains want to conquer the world by gaining control of the global weather...

''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 Skyes, nervous wreck Brenda Chance, and flirtatious Taffy Dare.

* CowardlyLion: Brenda. Pretty as she may be, she's scared of everything.

* TheDragAlong: Brenda Chance

* GenkiGirl: Taffy Dare

* CoolCar: The motorhome with Cavey's own home on top of it. This in itself is also pretty much making them the only among their fellow meddling kids to actually live in their vehicle.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Taffy Dare's design obviously was based on Farrah Fawcett.

* MonsterClown: Clownfoot, a bank-robbing circus clown who, at his circus hideout, rigs a high-wire's bicycle that Betty and Wilma are on to fall apart over a pit of man-eating saber-toothed tigers.
* SecretIdentity: Cavey has one as Chester which is in itself kind of a parody of this trope.

** [[ClarkKenting Captain Caveman's secret identity of glasses-wearing Chester]]

* TimeTravelForFunAndProfit: The 20th century villain Futuro's goal was robbing Bedrock of random stuff to sell in his own era as valuable "antiques."

* PaperThinDisguise: The duo once disguised themselves as villains by donning domino masks. Since this was in an AmnesiaEpisode, the amnesiac Captain Caveman decides that since he's wearing such a mask, he must be a villain, and then proceeds to steal so much stuff that there's nothing left for all the other criminals to rob.

* BigEater[=/=]ExtremeOmnivore: He often eats large quantities of food and stuff that isn't supposed to be edible. The cartoon's intro shows him eating a safe box in a single bite.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: The Buffalo Man nearly runs the Teen Angel's motorhome off the road with his reckless driving of a stolen jeep.
