!!''Hold On!'' contains examples of:
* {{Fainting}}: Dudley hires three women to pretend to faint at the Hermits' concert. Lindquist faints for real. He does so again later on when fans mob a private concert.
* ImagineSpot: Herman sees a woman on television advising girls to wait for their knights in shining armor. A minute later, he hears Louisa singing on the beach. He imagines Dudley trying to drown her and two other girls, and himself as a knight rescuing them. Later, he imagines himself and Dudley in a space shuttle with his bandmates floating around it while they play a song.
* RunningGag: Lindquist has a drink dumped on him on four different occasions: twice because he fainted, once because Herman tripped while carrying water, and once because someone on the beach wanted to prank him.
