I think some people don't understand the difference between a waddling head and a cephalothorax.


* FurryConfusion: This game revolves around a race of anthropomorphic pumpkins that grow (and presumably eat) non-anthropomorphic vegetables. There are also several animal characters that are capable of talking (The alligator, the crow, and the rabbit.) and others do not (the Barnyard Disco animals).

* BalloonBelly: A subtle version: Hungry Pumkin grows slightly larger with each item he eats. It might be hard to notice, until the end of the game, where, if he's big enough, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent he'll struggle to fit through the now-too-small door]].



* ExtremeOmnivore: See BigEater above.

* ExtremeOmnivore: See BigEater above.Hungry Pumkin's animation for eating is to take the food's sprite image, put it into his mouth, and chew it. Some foods, such as the salt, water, and soda are depicted in non-edible containers or dishes, but the still use the same animation, leading to Pumkin eating things like glass and metal.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the In-On-Over-Under game, there's an alligator sitting in the house. It talks and tells you where to put the objects, but exactly ''why'' there's an alligator in this house is never explained. While some of the items in the living room make sense, like a book and a backpack, there are some strange ones like a gecko and a mushroom.
