* BrickJoke: The trap.



* OneSteveLimit: PlayedForLaughs, as everyone -- including women -- is named Pierre (which is the French form of Peter). This is a play on the expression "L'Age de Pierre", which in French means either "The Stone Age" or "The Peter Age". They can still distinguish each other by name, as seen when the chief call his tribe's members one by one by name and they know which Pierre it is (they even notice when one of them is missing).

* RunningGag:
** Every time The Chief enters a scene, he asks if everyone knows his wife, and if they agree she is beautiful.
** Blond gets called by this name because of his hair, he doesn't like it.
** Curly insists that his hair is naturally... well, ''curly''.
