* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Averted ''heavily'' in "Mr. Moth," which manages to go over the common differences between a butterfly and a moth. The titular moth is even based off a real-life North American moth specimen (the Polyphemus moth, which is a very large one), and two of the butterflies Little Bill's classmates hatch include a Tiger Swallowtail and a Monarch butterfly, along with a exotic-looking blue butterfly that doesn't appear to be based off an actual North American specimen.

* ADogNamedCat: Little Bill's pet hamster is named Elephant. The reason for this is because Little Bill originally wanted an actual pet elephant but settled on a hamster.

* FirstNameUltimatum: Bobby gets them a lot, and usually because he has spoken out of turn.

--> '''Valencia''': Now, how do we behave at the hair salon?
--> '''Dorado''': Like a clown?
--> '''Valencia''': *Sternly* Dorado...
--> '''Dorado''': *Contritely* Like a good boy.

* ShoutOut: Captain Brainstorm is a fairly obvious send up of Captain Video.

* ToiletHumor: Michael calls Little Bill a poo-poo diaper baby in "The Meanest Thing to Say."

* TheUnapologetic: Little Bill is this in "When Friends Get Mad." Kiku accidentally spills water on Little Bill's picture.
