* HoardingTheProfits: In "Stormy Weather", Kit joins Daring Dan Dawson's air circus show to show off his cloudsurfing stunts against Baloo's wishes. Dan makes a lot of money from his air show, but gives Kit a single dollar as his pay. When Kit asks Dan if that dollar is all he gets, Dan passes it off by saying that he needs most of the money to pay for Kit's dressing room and new uniform.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Thembrians, Sgt. Dunder, the High Marshall, and Col. Spigot have this respective dynamic. Dunder is gregarious and respectful to Baloo and his friends. The High Marshall is a BadBoss who threatens to shoot those who fail their task and disappoint him in any way, most commonly Spigot. Spigot is short and ill-tempered, but does everything he can to please the High Marshall and has a frenemy relationship with Baloo.

* NoWaterproofingInTheFuture: Martin Torque's Auto-Aviators may by decades ahead of their time, but one soda bottle's enough to put them down for the count.

** In "Gruel and Unusual Punishment", Baloo decides to visit a weight loss clinic so he can lose
enough weight to put them down escort Rebecca to the Pilot's Ball in a slimming tuxedo. However, due to having mistaken a guacamole stain on the map for the count.location, he ends up in a Thembrian prison, which he mistakes for the weight loss clinic.
** Invoked in "A Jolly Molly Christmas"; Baloo gets Louie to disguise his nightclub as Santa's workshop, himself as Santa Claus, and his employees as Santa's elves to trick Molly into thinking she's at the North Pole. For a while, this works, but once Louie's customers end up exposing his ruse, Molly runs out of the club crying.



* PovertyFood: The staple diet of Thembria is "gruel", it looks like something used as glue more than food. When Balou is trapped in a Thembrian prison camp, he's roped into a plot by one of the inmates to blow off Thembria's "Strategic Gruel Reserves".

** From "Plunder and Lightning":
--->'''Don Karnage''': To your posts, men! We will fight to the last man!\\
''[The Iron Vulture gets perforated by gunfire from the attacking fighter planes, including several rounds into the bridge.]''\\
'''Don Karnage''': Then again... RETREAT! RETREAT! FULL SPEED BEHIND!
** From "Jumping the Guns":
--->'''Don Karnage''': Today, Cape Suzette, tomorrow...! ''(anti-aircraft fire)'' Tomorrow's another day! RETREAT!

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Kit's history with Don Karnage and the Sky Pirates seems to be all but forgotten in episodes following the pilot, to the point the two seem rather inept about each other outside their connections with Baloo. Karnage rarely refers to Kit as anything outside the generic label of "Baloo's little friend".

Karnage rarely refers to Kit as anything outside the generic label of "Baloo's little friend". This is because the pilot was actually rather late in production order, with the creators brainstorming several planned backstories for Kit before sticking to that one (one being Rebecca's son).

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** The series is basically a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Furry]] version of the old TV series ''Series/TalesOfTheGoldMonkey'', which was itself inspired by ''Film/OnlyAngelsHaveWings'' and ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk.''
** The ScrewballComedy elements of the Baloo/Rebecca relationship owe much to Creator/SpencerTracy and Creator/KatharineHepburn comedies of TheForties.
** Any episode in which Baloo and Louie are flying the Sea Duck... anywhere... is liable to closely resemble one of the Creator/BobHope[=/=]Music/BingCrosby ''Film/RoadTo'' buddy films.
** The series has its own spiritual successor in the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Cloudscratcher}}''.



* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: One of the recurring background piece has a structure similar to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post_(march) the Washington Post March]].

* PandaingToTheAudience: Subverted; while the pandas of Panda-La are [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass cute-looking and seem too intellectual and isolated]], they're actually an AffablyEvil [[HordesFromTheEast Eastern Horde]] with heat-seeking rockets.
