8
9!!Save Mojo provides examples of:
10* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Mojo even attacks the girls’ own home to steal some of the professors’ equipment.
11* AnAesop: If your views are opposing another side's views and it leads to nothing but bickering on both ends, the best solution is to compromise.
12* AnimalWrongsGroup: The animal activists; they actively prevent the girls from “harassing" Mojo Jojo”, not caring that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Mojo is clearly a villain committing crimes and the girls merely want to stop him.]] The girls eventually turn it against Mojo by helping the activists move Mojo into the wild.
13* ComicallyMissingThePoint The animal activists don't seem to see that Mojo is obviously plotting evil.
14* CrocodileTears: Mojo happily pretends to be a helpless animal in order to gain the sympathy, and thus protection, from the activists.
15-->'''Mojo:''' ''[cries]'' I'm being oppressed.
16* LastOnesPloy: Mojo gleefully exploits his status as an endangered animal to receive protection from the activists.
17* MamaBear: The episode ends with Mojo getting pummeled by a hulking KillerGorilla after harming her two babies.
18* NewAgeRetroHippie: The animal activists all look like these.
19* PaperThinDisguise: Mojo’s disguise at the beginning of the episode. The narrator even [[LampshadedTrope lampshades it]], calling it pathetic.
20* TakeThat This episode is one at [[AnimalWrongsGroup Animal Wrongs Groups]] and at the people who said PPG promotes animal abuse by having the girls beat up Mojo.
21* WalkingShirtlessScene: One of the activists wears an undone vest that barely covers any of his otherwise bare chest.
22* WavingSignsAround: The animal activists wave signs as a part of their protest.
23
24!!Substitute Creature provides examples of:
25* AnAesop: As Blossom said, don't judge people by their outward appearance.
26* DarkIsNotEvil: Mr. Green may look like a villain from a 70's anime with his fiery cape and his eyepatch, but he is actually a good substitute teacher.
27* ExpressiveAccessory: Blossom's bow droops when Mr. Green asks her to give the kids cookies.
28%% * EyepatchOfPower: Mr. Green has one.
29* ImagineSpot: The girls repeatedly imagine Mr. Green doing horrible things to Mrs. Keane and their classmates, but none of these fantasies ever come true.
30* HeelRealization: The girls realize they were the bad guys here for wrongfully assuming that Mr. Green was a threat.
31* ReluctantMonster: Mr. Green looks like a demon, but truly likes children and wants to be a good teacher.
32* RuleOfFunny: Mr. Green's explanation for looking scary is that all substitute teachers do.
33* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Mr. Green has white hair, but the Black Heart part is eventually averted as the girls learn he is not evil.
34* WhamLine: "Powerpuff Girls, no! Mr. Green is nice!"
