* FaceYourFears: Parodied. Mung Daal refuses to harvest the queen meach due to his fear of the meaches guarding her whilst Chowder keeps trying to encourage him to face his fears. This would be considered playing the trope straight, except for the fact that meaches are vicious bloodthirsty living fruits with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily that maul anything that gets within 100 yards of them en masse. He has good reason to be afraid of them. Lampshaded at the end of the episode.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: After a few failed attempts to get past the meach guards, Chowder asks Mung if he ever tried asking nicely. Mung admits he never actually thought of that, having been too afraid of being attacked by the meaches to remember his manners. It surprisingly works, and they probably would have gotten out of there without further trouble... [[TooDumbToLive if Chowder hadn't foolishly gloated that the meaches fell for it]].

* DisguisedInDrag: Another way that Chowder and Shnitzel try to get past the Meaches is by dressing up as girl scouts.

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Mung acknowledges how much of a grudge Meaches possess when their queen is taken. They are so enraged, they constantly attack him everywhere he goes for ''25 years''.



* TraumaButton: Meaches are savage fruit creatures that Mung is deathly afraid of, and for good reason. After taking their queen and creating Meach Pie, the other meaches began attacking him for ''25 years straight''! He claims he was bald because of it. He has since stayed clear of them and has Chowder and Schnitzel retrieve one for him.

* {{Flashback}}: Double subverted. When Chowder asks Mung about making the mince meach pie, the scene is apparently about to start a flashback regarding Mung's past with the dish, [[BreakingTheFourthWall only for Mung to put a stop to it]] because he doesn't want to relive his TraumaButton. It's only when Chowder asks if the pie tastes bad and wants to eat it after hearing how delicious it is that Mung finally explains why he doesn't make the dish, with flashback happening as he does so (to Chowder's delight).
