* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Sort of. The last 3 sports Robert Vylan lists in his segment are "Brickity-Block", "Blockity-Brick", and "Brickity-Blockity-Blue-Ball".
* BrickJoke: No pun intended. As Zundar is listing the various types of Head Melons Legsharks like to eat, one of the last ones is a Brickity-Blockity-Blue-Ball (Though it notably uses a different piece than in Robert's segment).

** During Steve Deepsea's segment, a farmer he interviews mentions the "Horse Rebellion".
** Another civilian he interviews states that Malifios once tried to hypnotize muffins for something.



* RockPaperScissors: {{Parodied}} in "[=ROBOphelia=] vs. Grabbor" where the two robots' programs keep being in sync when they're trying to introduce themselves to one another, and so they play Nut-Bolt-Washer to decide who's going to start. Washer beats bolt.

* CommercialSwitcheroo: In "Robots! Robots! Robots!", a Belville doll wonders what to do with all the robots in her house until the announcer of the commercial asks "Got more robots than you know what to do with?", which makes her think the commercial is about a product that'll get rid of the robots. The commercial, however, isn't advertising such a product and instead suggests activities for the robots to do...that is, until the commercial suggests the robots fight in the Green Militia, revealing the commercial is actually a recruitment ad.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Orange and green have declared war on each other, all because a Figurian decided he preferred orange over green as his favorite color.
* {{Expy}}: [=K0P-3R=] is this to [=ROBOphelia=]. Not only do they share the exact same head and a similar model, but [=K0P-3R=] even interrogates one of the Cowboybots in the ''exact same manner'' as [=ROBOphelia=] did to a Pinchbot in "[=ROBOphelia=] vs. Grabbor":
-->'''[=K0P-3R=]''': "[[AC:Ha ha ha ha! Where is your leaderbot?]]"
-->'''Chuck Malarkey''': "And don't give us no malarkey!"
** This gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the next episode, in which Phil points out how similar the two are, even showing a comparison on both "interrogation" scenes to prove his point, in which Sherry brushes it off since many robots can be built similarly.

* NoodleImplements: At the end of a DeletedScene, [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Robert Vylan]] checks his to-do list regarding his evil plan, which reads "Escape Prison, Join NNN, '''Ice Blockey''', Destroy City." Robert then attempts to talk about Ice Blockey in "The End of Sports," only to be stopped by Sherry before we can learn anything about it, meaning we still have no idea what "Ice Blockey" is.

** Legsharks are also very fond of anything shaped like a minifigure head, except pumpkins, as they're allergic. [[spoiler:That is, unless you give them a green wizard hat. Then they basically go to town on those pumpkins with no reaction!]]

!!This show provides examples of:
* BuiltWithLego: The show is made using stop-motion animation with LEGO bricks.
** Characters are shown removing and reattaching limbs with ease.
** Characters refer to real-life LEGO product lines
--> '''Random guy''': Woo! Go Wolfpack!
* ComplexityAddiction: Malifios's schemes tend to be either [[InsaneTrollLogic something that clearly doesn't work]] (such as making a machine that spins Octopi without doing any noticeable damage to New Block City, seeming pretty sure that it will), or too needlessly complex to work (he plans on setting a fire to a farm... By having a cow kick it as opposed to starting the fire himself. Amusingly, [[ButtMonkey he gets kicked as soon as he gets initiative to start it on his own]]). [[LampshadeHanging Persephone Verada states that he could just get his degree in villainy if he just went for a more simple approach.]]
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: You can find a lot of wreckages or weird going-ons in the background of any given episode.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Malifios.
--> '''Persephone Verada''': Malifios' plans are always miraculous displays of failure.
* KentBrockmanNews: The show embodies this trope. Phil and Sherry bicker constantly and spend most of the show reporting on what matters to them personally.
--> '''Phil and Sherry''': Only on the Nightly News at Nine: Bringing you the stories that matter to us.
* OnlySaneMan: Jenny is the only one who thinks that it's a terrible idea to hire [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Robert Vylan]], as well as a Legshark that ''just ate their last reporter''.
* ParodyCommercial: Alternating with the fake news segments are fake commercials. They tend to be thematically or directly related to the top news stories.
* ShowWithinAShow: Police Show.
