General tropes
- Three Shorts: The second of three episodes in the series that are just two shorter episodes combined into one.
“The Egg” contains examples of
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Jake is understandably freaked out after he sees the Griffin eat its hatchling, but Fu explains; baby Griffins have to spend a few weeks in its mother’s digestive tract after it’s born, after that, the mother will regurgitate it back up, completely unharmed.Fu Dog: Ain’t it beautiful?
Jake: I think I’m gonna hurl… - Balloon Belly: Happens to Jake and Fu when the egg gets lost among thousands of peanut butter covered eggs.
- Easter Special: This episode takes place during Easter, as at one point the egg gets lost during an Easter egg hunt.
- Egg Sitting: Jake, Trixie, and Spud have this as their health class project. Spud draws a smile on it and names it “Smiley”.
- Mood Whiplash: Played for Laughs. We get to see the baby Griffin hatch, and Jake muses that while being the American Dragon is a tough job, it’s moments like this that make it Worth It... only to see the mother Griffin eat the baby. Thankfully, the baby is fine due to Griffins’ Bizarre Alien Biology.
“The Heist” contains examples of
- Drives Like Crazy: Lao Shi. Makes sense when you remember that he doesn’t have a driver’s license.
- Gilligan Cut: We get one when Lao Shi advises Jake about keeping a cool head… only to see him immediately road raging.Lao Shi: HIT THE PEDAL, GRETEL! I’M NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER! (rants in Chinese)
