* OffModel:
** The episodes "Risky Beesness" and "Bearing Up Baby" definitely had moments of this.
** Not to mention "An Elephant Never Suspects" in its entirety with how it varies from looking decent to incredibly rough. In general, the Creator/WangFilmProductions episodes are widely inconsistent and have several instances of their trademark ThickLineAnimation on show.
** After Creator/{{TMS|Entertainment}} left the series, the animation became largely sub-par, save for Walt Disney Animation Japan's output (though it too had its fair share of episodes that were lesser in quality); it really went down the toilet whenever Creator/SunwooEntertainment was behind an episode, this being their first effort for Disney. While Creator/A1Productions would never work on a Disney cartoon again after this series.

* ThreeWishes: "A Lad in a Lamp" comes with just about all [[GenieInABottle genie]] clichés including the three wishes rule.

* ThreeWishes: "A Lad in a Lamp" comes with just about all [[GenieInABottle genie]] clichés including the three wishes rule. Fat Cat tries to get around this by having his minions make wishes once he's used up his own, but fortunately the Rangers (particularly Monterey, who is the new genie of the lamp) are able to trick the minions into making wishes that benefit them until they can get the lamp themselves and Chip and Dale [[ResetButton wish none of these events had ever happened]].

* TheComedyDrop: "Kiwi's Big Adventure", Chip, in an effort to prove that Dale is engaging in a MalingeringRomancePloy, after Gadget confirms he shouldn't be able to swim, unceremoniously dumps his fellow chipmunk into a river. This proves unfortunate, as it draws the attention of a hungry crocodile.

* MalingeringRomancePloy: Dale hurts his foot kicking the Ranger Plane, and spends the rest of the episode playing it up because Gadget is doting on him. Monterrey notes that a pretty face could drive a person to do strange things. When Chip proves to Gadget that Dale is faking, she is absolutely livid (which, if other examples of her [[BewareTheNiceOnes getting mad]] are any indication, would not have ended well for Dale, had the Rangers not been captured by the Kiwis). After he legitimately breaks his foot kicking a crocodile, Gadget tells him that it's no fun being truly injured.

* CaretakingIsFeminine: Subverted in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting". The Rangers babysit a teenage and toddler squirrel duo for the day, and while TokenGirl Gadget is the one who suggests that they do as a way to make up for accidentally wrecking their mother's room, she has almost no moments of caring for them. Instead, it's the guys who primarily care for the squirrels.

* AccidentalAstronaut: The Rescue Rangers are at Cape Canaveral to watch the launch of an experimental new space plane. However, due to a series of circumstances, Chip and Dale end up inside a space suit that is placed aboard the space plane just prior to launch. Initially, Monterey Jack points out to Gadget that they're perfectly fine aboard the ship, and they'll be back when the space plane lands. But then the space suit the two chipmunks are in is accidentally jettisoned into space, and while the crew plan to retrieve it, they don't plan to do so for two weeks, prompting Gadget to quickly build and launch a makeshift rocket to retrieve the boys.

* CreatorsCultureCarryover: While it is not explicitly stated that "The Pound of the Baskervilles" takes place in Britain, the setting is clearly meant to evoke a classic CampbellCountry manor house, with its inhabitant using the title "lord" and the previous, late master having been a mystery author whose protagonist was a blatant Literature/SherlockHolmes expy. Yet all the characters speak with American accents and the sheriff (which is not an LEO title in Britain) drives his truck on the right.
