* ArtEvolution: The early strips resemble little of what they are today in terms of character design. Not only are the eyes bigger, they are also more rounded. The reissued first book displays this by having the front cover be a remake of the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pb1_old_big original, now back cover.]]

* Parodying an old Pizza Hut TV ad, the kids see Tiny in one with a full spread of various pizzas on the table. They happily rush in, but the pizza is all gone by the next panel and Tiny chides them for being slowpokes.

** Bab and Tiny order snacks at the movie theater, with Tiny ordering two of several different items. Then she asks Bab what he wants.
** Eat-all-you-can restaurants are at their mercy with the managers panicking and screaming mayday at even just their approach. Though justified in one story
arc has where they went to a bobcat named Bobcat. Also country resort and they were especially hungry and exhausted from just hiking to get there for much of the day, but then they demolished the entire buffet.

* BigFun: Downplayed since ''everyone'' who's a main recurring character tends to be fat, chubby and big-bellied, including Polgas the dog, but in general they're an easygoing bunch who happily get along with each other.

Added DiffLines:

* FatComicRelief: Well, pretty much ''[[PlanetOfHats every]]'' major character is fat for endearing purposes (particularly in a Third World/Philippine context where some degree of fatness is seen as akin to prosperity vs. poverty, thus this means they're mostly relatively comfortably middle-class) but from time to time there are still standard "fat jokes", especially early on, like:
** A pedicab driver begging
Bab and Tiny in full kow-tow mode not to ride in his (pedal-powered) vehicle.
** Foreign books and international news reports mentioning the Pugad Baboy community itself, like the residents being barred from climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or likening an earthquake to the impact of their annual marathon race.

Trivia, huh


* AccentDepundent: Some jokes hinge on this, for instance:
** Tomas is trying to distract and calm down Paltik as he's going to be circumcised, so he brings a copy of ''WesternAnimation/Anastasia'' for him to watch. When Paltik asks what "Anastasya" means, Doc Sebo says it's what he'll inject into him before the operation, causing Paltik to flee.
* Dagul is backing up and trying to park his car while a man keeps saying "kasya" ("there's room"). But Dagul hits a tree, and the man scolds him because he kept telling him about the ''acacia'' while unknowingly dropping his As, as he also says "atras" (Spanish for "go back/reverse" as "'tras".

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Done by Tomas and Polgas to a man who wanted to buy marijuana-spiked purple yam (ube) jam in ''The Baguio Connection''. After the poor sod was forced to watch hours of ''The 700 Club'' and dramas from ''That's Entertainment'' (an afternoon teen variety show in Philippine television in the late 80s to the 90s), the man became a stool pigeon and told them the location of the marijuana operation.
