'''Toy Palace'''

Tommy and Chuckie are accidentally left inside of a toy store after it closes.

'''Sand Ho!'''

The babies pretend to be pirates.

!!"Toy Palace" provides examples of:

* AdultsAreUseless: While Stu and Chas eventually find out that their children are locked in the Toy Palace and rush back to find them, the Security Guard assures them that he knows if any children are inside the store thanks to his security system. Unfortunately, he wasn’t watching any of the security monitors, and was instead watching a portable television.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: A downplayed example. After he gets launched off the train when he turns it off, Tommy inadvertently switches on a life-sized Thorg doll, which chases him and Chuckie throughout the store. They eventually stop him with the help of a life-sized Reptar doll.
* BroughtHomeTheWrongKid: Tommy and Chuckie switch themselves with a baby doll and a monkey doll so they can stay in the Toy Palace overnight. Stu and Chas don't even notice their kids are gone until after they arrive home.
* CoolTrain: The large model train that runs throughout the Toy Palace, which Tommy and Chuckie ride on at one point. At one point it even passes through an operating miniature railroad crossing and train station building with figures, both of which Thorg destroys during its rampage.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Toy [[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]] are briefly visible in one scene.
* MundaneUtility: The Toy Palace has, among its assorted toys intended for children being sold, a working time machine. And this isn't one of the babies' [[ImagineSpot imagine spots]].
* MyLittlePanzer: The Toy Palace is filled with these examples, all played for laughs. Avogadro the Alligator is powered by cold fusion, and there's the Wee Willy Warp Time Translator, which is explicitly labelled as being for kids.
* TimeMachine: The Wee Willy Warp Time Translator. It really works, as it sends Thorg back to the time period when Washington crossed the Delaware River.

!!"Sand Ho!" provides examples of:

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: This exchange when Angelica attacks the babies' pirate ship;
-->'''Phil:''' I think we're gonna be [[{{Malaproper}} drownded]]!\\
'''Lil:''' I think we're going to be captured!\\
'''Chuckie:''' I think I'm gonna be sick.
* ImagineSpot: This episode features the first of the many from the babies.
* LaserGuidedKarma: When Angelica forces Tommy to walk the plank, Didi catches her in the act and makes her clean the kitchen as punishment.
* LimitedWardrobe: Tommy wears an orange shirt with white stripes in this episode, as opposed to the light blue shirt he normally wears.
* SaveTheVillain: When Tommy and Angelica climb up to the crow's nest, Angelica slips and is about to fall, begging Tommy to save her. Tommy does so, then Angelica reveals that she did this on purpose to trick Tommy and get his treasure.
* SwordFight: Tommy and Angelica do this when they come face to face.
* ToiletHumor:
** This exchange when the babies dig for the treasure:
-->'''Chuckie:''' Is this the treasure?\\
'''Tommy:''' No, that's cat poop. Keep digging.
** Also, this exchange;
-->'''Tommy:''' Hoist the mistlemast! Pull up the anchor! Swab the poop deck!\\
'''Chuckie, Phil, and Lil''': Poop?\\
(''Lil checks her diaper.'')
* TreasureHuntEpisode: The babies pretend to be pirates and search for treasure in this episode.
* WalkThePlank: After Angelica captures Tommy and the other babies, she makes Tommy do this, but gets caught by Didi before Tommy can take the plunge.
* {{Wedgie}}: When Angelica forces Tommy to walk the plank, she carries him by the back of his diaper with her sword.
