* ChainedHeat: In preparation for their trip, Michellee gets [=EB=] and herself "friendship bracelets." These accessories are more like handcuffs that magnetically latch on to each other with a press of the button so her daughter can't get too far away from her.

** E. B. visits a Zookia cafe in which the flavours of toast include [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas roast beast]] and [[Literature/TheLorax truffula]].

* MouthCam: [[spoiler: The camera shows the inside of Pam's mouth when she eats Sam's green eggs and ham for the first time.]]]]

* DolledUpInstallment: The second season is an adaptation of an unrelated Seuss book titled The Butter Battle Book.

** In the climax of "The Second Serving", [[spoiler:the Goo-Laka-Goo is used to contain the explosion from the Moo-Laka-Moo rocket.]]

* MacGuffin: For the bulk of "The Second Serving", the Moo-laka-moo serves as this, as it's not mentioned until the very end what it does, only that getting it to Yookia is essential. [[spoiler:It's apparently an extremerly dangerous explosive.]]

* TropicalIslandAdventure: In "You Only Mom Twice", Agent Trouser, Pam and Sam all crash-land on a tropical island, where the [[MacGuffin Moo-Laka-Moo]] gets snatched by a [[MixAndMatchCritters kangarangutan]], and a chase ensues where the characters have to face both hostile wildlife and the island's [[PlaceBeyondTime unusual time flow]].

* AdaptationNameChange: The Moo-Laka-Moo is the equivalent of [[spoiler:the "Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo"]] from ''Literature/TheButterBattleBook'', but with a name that makes it less clear that [[spoiler:it's a dangerous explosive]].

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: Season 2 is this to ''Literature/TheButterBattleBook''. [[spoiler:Said book famously and poignantly has NoEnding, with the heavy implication that what amounts to nuclear annihilation will wipe out both sides. Here, the weaponsa re in fact fired, but they are contained and the two nations resolve their differences.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: Sometimes, it appears that Sam shows some signs of having a small crush on Guy, as he's constantly complimenting him and calling him by sweet nicknames, being comfortable of touching and being touched by him and even having a miniature doll of Guy in his backpack which he quickly kisses in the cheek before hiding it away from Guy himself.
** This was motivated even further by Netflix itself as an ad for the series compare them both to Ross and Rachel, from {{Series/Friends}}, and then adds a subtitle besides Sam [[spoiler: during the scene where Guy motivates Sam to keep looking for his mother]] saying "kiss me u fool".

* {{Retraux}}: The show seems to be set in a sort of Seussian version of the mid-20th century (the 1960s specifically, when the book was first published): character still regularly read newspapers and technology doesn't seem to have progressed since the early '70s, the most advanced devices being credit card readers and a handheld 16mm camera used by one of Snerz's cronies, without a cell phone, flat screen or even a personal computer in sight. Also, aside from Rivers Cuomo's theme song, most of the pop music is from either the '60s, slightly earlier (Bobby Darin's "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" from 1958) or slightly later (The O'Jays' "For The Love Of Money" from 1973).

* CrapsaccharineWorld: It's the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss full of quirkily bloodthirsty beasts, dangerously whimsical architecture, charmingly stupid or mischievous citizenry, and an almost Kafka-esque fixation on inane trivium.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Yooks tend to have cold colours (green, blue, purple) in their fur and clothing, whereas Zooks typically have warm colours (red, orange, yellow).

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Stress and depression have caused Guy to look vaguely middle-aged with prominent scowl lines. If his [[spoiler:high school classmates]] are of any indication, he's roughly in his late twenties or early thirties.

* GreyVersusGrayMorality: [[spoiler:Neither the Yooks nor the Zooks or their leaders are evil ''per se'', they are just both extremely bigoted toward the other and got stuck in an escalating conflict.]]

* ActionizedAdaptation: The series features the characters in greater peril than in their home book, complete with [[spoiler:a dangerous climactic battle between the heroes and villains]].

** Season 2: The search for Sam's MissingMom and preventing a war between the nations of Yookia and Zookia.
