* ICantHearYou: The RunningGag of Whirly's mistaking Oso's comments as a request to eject him is basically a continuous version of this. For example, in "Nobody Plays 'It' Better"...
-->'''Oso''': Hey, I see Alexander!
-->'''Whirly''': You want to land there? Okay. (''ejects Oso'')
-->'''Oso''': Whirly!

* BedsheetGhost: In "A View To a Mask," the boy that Oso is helping, Kevin, initially mistakes Oso for being dressed up as one of these when he lands in front of his doorway covered in his parachute. Admittedly, a very odd-looking one.

* StockFootage: Whenever Paw Pilot sings the song Three Special Steps, the music video is just shown over and over, with the steps changing, and not to mention there’s two segments so you will here the song 2 times, it’s easy to get an ear worm.

* PainToTheAss: In "Goldringer," Oso finds a boomerang and is told by a girl that "If you throw it, it comes back to you." He throws it and comes back... and bonks him on the butt.

* RuleOfThree: The show's conceit is that the problem a child is having in any particular story can be solved in "Three Simple Steps." That said, sometimes a particular step will have more than one thing in it, such as the second step of taking care of a cut from a thorn in "Redfinger" being to dry off your hands that you just washed and then dab antibiotic ointment on the cut.

** MagicCountdown: These scenes tend to take a fair bit longer than expected, even with Paw Pilot ''counting down'' throughout. The countdown is in sight, it just seems to work in magical molasses time in order for Oso to finish JustInTime.

** MagicCountdown: These scenes tend to take a fair bit longer than expected, even with Paw Pilot ''counting down'' throughout. The countdown is in sight, it just seems to work in magical molasses time in order for Oso to finish JustInTime. "License to Chill" plays with it when Oso helps a kid make juice pops to help his sick sister who has to take medicine and doesn't want it to take so yucky. Although the juice pops are placed in the freezer just as the countdown finishes, the sister points out that it ''takes time'' for juice pops to freeze. It's indicated as Oso leaves that the juice pops should be ready by the time she's next scheduled to take her medicine. Meanwhile, back at his training assignment, Oso learns from Paw Pilot that it will take 10,800 seconds, or three hours, in order for the paint on the car he's just finished spray-painting to dry.

* SeriousBusiness: No matter what problem Oso might be helping a little kid with, you can bet it will be treated as being of the the utmost urgency.
-->'''Mr. Dos''': It's a serious matter... Your special assignment: help Katie build a sandcastle.

* {{Crossover}}: "The Manny with the Golden Bear" had HandyManny and his tools show up to help out when Oso has to help a kid who has a broken bike. Presumably relatively easy to finagle, since not only do both shows air on Disney Junior, but both are produced by Disney Television Animation. They're also both CGI and have reasonably similar looks.

* FourFingeredHands: A curiosity with this one. The human characters on the series are normally depicted as having the normal number of fingers. In "The Manny With the Golden Bear," (''HandyManny'' {{crossover}}) however, they sport four-fingered hands. This is presumably because the human characters on ''Handy Manny'' have only four fingers and it would have been odd to have to draw Manny with five.
