* ImStandingRightHere: In Howdy's Holiday Hullabaloo, Howdy's verse about his brother Latter is quite negative, with his focus being specifically on him being a bad poet. When Latter points out that he said that right in front of him, Howdy opts to ignore him in favor of greeting his sister Seeya.
* InteractiveNarrator: Happens in both the records Happy Haunting to Boo and Yours and Homewarming, though the Narrator is different between the two.

This was how they got the stills from the "Julie-Rella" episode, and later, twenty-two minutes' worth of commercials interspersed with brief intermissions from Eddie's point of view, which W guesses are from the show itself.]]

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In Howdy's Holiday Hullabaloo, Gam-Gam Sally Tations whacks Howdy over the head when he starts panicking over how many of his family members are coming to visit, to the point where he starts anticipating relatives who aren't confirmed to be coming. While it works, he does complain about her methods.
* AGoodOldFashionedPaintWatching: In the Homewarming record, after Barnaby insults him with a joke, Frank threatens to give Wally and Barnaby a lecture on how grass grows if they don't leave him and Julie alone.
* HibernationMigrationSituation: The main theme of Bug-a-Bye and Goodnight involves Frank wishing all the bugs goodnight as they settle in for the winter. During his rounds, he notes just how sad doing so is making him feel, but he continues anyway due to knowing just how important it is for them to hibernate.

* BinomiumRidiculus: In the Homewarming record, Frank shows Wally a bug sleeping in a nearby tree hollow, dubbing it Caninus Coccinellidae.[[note]]Translates to "dog-like ladybug".[[/note]] While Wally reacts in awe, Barnaby simply says "gesundheit", causing Frank to react in anger.
Added DiffLines:
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The Welcome Home Cookbook has a section completely devoted to different types of hot dogs – seven pages worth, to be exact. The first four listed are relatively normal dogs, but the more pages that are flipped, the weirder the dogs get, including the Hearth Dog (a dog with a ribbon threaded through the tip), the Half-Eaten Dog (ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin), and the Not Dog (no dog, just the bun). This becomes (somewhat) normal to see after a few pages, until the twenty-fourth dog (It's a Dog!) shows where the 'dog' from the Not Dog went: splattered on the wall with the mushed up remains lying on the ground, looking suspiciously like someone's intestines. Then the next page shows the Holly Jolly Dog.

* ChekhovsGag: A Single Pea on a Plate. Initially, it's used as the final punchline of weird food items in the Welcome Home Cookbook. [[spoiler:However, it returns three times in the commercial compilation on the hidden website: first as one of the dishes listed by the narrator in the Welcome Home Cookbook ad, then as one of the items sung about in "The Twelve Deals of Homewarming", and finally as Eddie's meal of choice in the final intermission. Specifically in the intermission, it's one of the few points of focus during Eddie's revelation, showing him changing between his storybook and puppet appearances while bathed in a RedFilterOfDoom.]]

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: In the Homewarming record, Poppy invites Wally and Barnaby to have a slice of Sunflower-seed ham, which is ham shaped like a sunflower-seed. Since Poppy's description mentions her being a vegetarian, it can also be assumed that the ham is made out of sunflower-seeds as well.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Welcome Home Wish Book has an advertisement featuring Santa reading out what each of the neighbors want for the holidays. When he gets to Eddie, however, the track dissolves into static and cuts out [[spoiler:...much like what happened in the hidden bug videos whenever someone called Wally's name. As such, he's the next character to realize the nature of their world.]].

** Happens again shortly after, this time between Barnaby and Frank:

* BizarreTasteInFood: If the Welcome Home Cookbook is any indication, none of the residents of Home have very... conventional tastes. Examples include the Macaroni Dog (a hotdog in a bun with macaroni and kiwi slices), the Queen's Game (a mug of hot cocoa encased in gelatin), and [[ChekhovsGag a Single Pea on a Plate]] ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin self-explanatory]]).

"Welcome Home primarily focused on the neighbors, the show's inhabitants, who were accompanied by a mixture of animated breaks and illustrated story book segments. The setting itself was a colorful and exaggeratedly designed town named 'Home' with unique elements like a post office and a bodega, as well as brightly colored creatures that lived within it."
"Episodes usually began with Wally introducing the focus or theme for the day before coming across other characters who would join him on his escapades until the end of the day, which would signify the end of the show. All of the characters had notable, recurring segments that were sprinkled throughout the entirety of the show's run, such as Eddie Dear creating arts and crafts, Sally Starlet performing plays, or Wally Darling painting a picture with the help of other members of the cast. The viewer was often regarded as an additional neighbor, with Wally speaking to them on a regular basis."
