* AllJustAPrank: In "When Fools Rush In", on April Fools Day, Rutger shows Milo some pictures he shot with his camera, showing documented proof that a [[AttackOFThe50FootWhatever giant lizard]] is destroying Halverston and Area (specifically the Little Tokyo area), which scared the rest of the kids. Eventually, it was resolved when Milo used a three-headed-dragon caller for that titular dragon to fight with the lizard at its match out of the city. What they didn't know is that [[spoiler:the entire thing was just an April Fools prank between Milo and his dad all along]].

Deciding to take a stand for little kids everywhere, Milo decides to becomes a superhero. After staring at a lawn flamingo in his backyard, gives himself the identity of Captain Flamingo, which he transforms into any time a kid yells "Uh-oh! Flamingo!"

Together, they save kids from unusual situations in completely unusual ways.

* FaintInShock: In "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS2E6WhenGoodBirdsGoBadFaceTheMusic Face the Music]]", Rutger loses his glasses which is very expensive. The last time he lost it, his parents fainted over the ShockinglyExpensiveBill for the glasses.

** In "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS2E13FunAndGamesAdventuresInMilositting Fun and Games]]", Milo is getting prepared just in case if he's gonna run into Ruth. However, there is a piece of spinach stuck to his teeth. He tries to get it out, but Kirsten calls him to help. Milo hopes that her problem won't have Ruth involved.

* SuddenlyShouting: In "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS2E3HairdosAndDontsBabyYouCanDriveMyKarma Hairdos and Don'ts]]", because of the guard telling Milo and Lizbeth that they can't cross unless there's a third person (not even for a kid in trouble), Ruth Ann suddenly shouts her call for the Captain to help for the third time loudly.

** In "The Best Episode Ever!", Milo suggests his baby brother Thor to watch a video together, and he chose to watch ''The Singing Turnip'' again. However, the VCR wasn't working right due to Thor shoving over his raspberry toaster tart into the machine. As a result, Milo must get the VCR fixed before his parents find out about it. When the tart eventually pops out of the machine and fixes it near the end of the episode, his parents surprised him with a new DVD player and an ultra-sound version ''The Singing Turnip'', which makes Milo's plan on fixing the VCR pretty much pointless now.

* {{Wedgie}}: In "Beyond the Thundermonkey Dome", the Warrior Monkey spends the entire episode giving all the kids in the neighborhood wedgies.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The town Milo and his friends live in is almost always identified as Halverston and Area, but beyond that, it's hard to pin down specifically where it is -- it could be pretty much anywhere in North America. (Although "Gum Control" showed a Canadian flag hanging in the gym.) Averted when you realized that one of the two names that made up the town's name rhymes with Palmerston (a real neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario).

* {{Ventriloquism}}: In "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS1E18PlayOnWordsPresentTense Play on Words]", after Rutger forgets to memorize his lines for the play that he is starring in, Milo reads off the lines from a book containing them while throwing his voice to Rutger when he moves his lips.

** In "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS1E15FaceMoreProblemsTheEvenGreaterEscape Milo and the Gang Face More Problems]]", Avi was eating breakfast and was meant to pour some milk on his cereal. He accidentally misses, causing his spoon to hit a cup of grape juice which spills over his sister's Bubsy Bear plush. He then tries to put in the laundry to clean but he throws it so hard, it hits the washing machine which causes a lot detergent to spill in the machine which then caused a lot of suds to overflow the machine. He then took out the plush from the machine and throws it into the other washer, which does it thing but when it's finished, the plush became totally messed up and melted.

* HumanMail: Attempted in "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS1E15FaceMoreProblemsTheEvenGreaterEscape The Even Greater Escape]]". Milo mails Rutger as a package from his origami kit to get him away from his babysitter who keeps tabs on him in order to play in the hockey championship game. It backfires since the package sends him to a hockey game in Sweden.

* AnythingButThat: Shortly after Rutger was caught by Meghan, his babysitter in "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS1E15FaceMoreProblemsTheEvenGreaterEscape The Even Greater Escape]]", he was then forced to sit down and watch TV so she can keep an eye on him, in which there's nothing on TV except for soap-operas, which Rutger fears worse.

Another chain of events almost happened again later in the episode when he uses his mom's riding vacuum cleaner to clean up the glow-in-the-dark eyeballs scattered around the tent. Unfortunately, it was heading to the main tent pole. Milo imagines that if he crashes that pole, the tent will collapse, knocking down a power line which then causes a major power outage in Halverston and Area (and the Greater Toronto Area and Canada in general), which then a storm approaches, the sudden appearance of dragons, and finally, [[EarthShatteringKaboom the rest of Earth eventually explodes]]. When he did eventually hit the pole, none of these events actually happened and averted disaster this time.

* DoomedAutographedItem: "High and Flighty" has Rutger getting a baseball pitcher machine for his birthday, but doesn't have a baseball to put it in. He then decides to use his dad's one of a kind autographed baseball, which he winds up accidentally hitting onto the top of a very tall building. Milo and Lizbeth are then tasked with climbing said building to retrieve the ball before Rutger's dad finds out what happened to it.

* OverlyLongGag: "High and Flighty" has Milo using a paddleball to try to push the rooftop level button on a tall building elevator to get Rutger's autographed baseball back. Unfortunately, that plan failed as the paddleball hits all of the elevator buttons EXCEPT for the rooftop button so as a result, there was an overly long gag involving him and Lizbeth going up "gazillion" different floors in the building, which HilarityEnsues during the meantime such as them meditating, playing a game of go fish or them running around over the annoying elevator music.

* AlmostKiss: Milo almost (reluctantly) kisses Kirsten in "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS1E23BugOutPastaYourBedtime Bug Out!]]" and "Change of Heart", but Lizbeth drags him away in both times.

** In "[[Recap/CaptainFlamingoS1E7RunMiloRunBlizzardOfOoze Blizzard of Ooze]]", Avi was meant to get one cookie from a cookie jar. He tried using a chair to stand up to get it, but he accidentally misses causing the jar to fall, knocking over the sugar, the flour, the salt, the oatmeal and the baking soda, trips over the chair and accidentally turns on the fan, causing a "blizzard" substance to happen. He even mentions that his mom doesn't let him stand on chairs.
