* {{Blackface}}: Bimbo masks the lower part of his head in dirt in order to disguise himself as one of the natives.
* BlackfaceStyleCaricature: While they are Samoan and not African, the natives (not counting Betty) greatly resemble this.
* CirclingBirdies: After Bimbo hits himself in the head, a pair of ringed planets appear over his head and he wears the rings as earrings as part of his Samoan disguise.
* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: A flower upon seeing Betty's lewd hula dance, covers it's own eyes and for added measure, buries it's head in the sand.
* CranialEruption: Bimbo purposely does this to himself by hitting himself in the head with a bone and then wearing the bone on the bump as part of his Samoan disguise.
