* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: "Adventures in Squirrelstting" has the WeNeedADistraction BavarianFireDrill subverted. The squad's babysitting charges, Tammy and her younger sister Bink, end up at Fat Cat's casino. To rescue them, Monterey Jack brings in a piano and asks a disguised Chip and Dale to start a musical number, announcing them as a surprise for the bighead. Fat Cat notes that he didn't order any entertainment but watches as a CrowdSong starts about how awesome "Big Fat Daddy C" is. It almost seems to work, especially when he and his henchmen join in for the last verse as Gadget hides in the piano with Tammy and Bink. Before the squad can sneak out of the music hall, Fat Cat busts them with a SlasherSmile and a spotlight. It turns out he wasn't fooled at all by the disguises, and just wanted to see where their spontaneous show was going.

* BrokenAesop: Some of the episodes with AnAesop deliver mixed messages at best:
** "Dirty Rotten Diapers" focuses on Gadget's effort to get the rest of the team to focus on non-violent problem solving. Unfortunately, in the end they end up having to fight the criminal when he injures the team and angers Gadget. The moral one ends up with instead is 'non-violent methods aren't effective in some cases'.
** "Mind Your Cheese and Q's" focused on Monterey's cheese fixation, but Chip and Dale ended up deliberately exposing him to the stuff in order to use him to track down Gadget - although he then had to overcome his fixation to rescue her. The moral one ends up with instead is 'live with your addiction and count on being able to resist it when it really matters.'
** "The Case Of The Cola Cult" dealt with Gadget having a crisis of self-esteem and seeking new friends among a local cult. The episode ended with her happily reunited with the Rangers, but instead of warning about the peril of allowing a cult to determine your worth, one ends up with 'Stay loyal to your friends even if they don't seem to value you.' (The Rangers ''do'' value Gadget, but it's still an awkward message to send.)
