* HomoeroticSubtext: One episode, "Saturday Night Shirt Tales" was particularly notorious for this, with the episode ending with the two VillainOfTheWeek characters dancing with each other on the disco floor, this despite it being TheEighties when homophobia and AIDS were big things in October 1983. Although PlayedForLaughs, it's blatantly obvious and one of the characters [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade on things]].

* OvertOperative: Possible subversion. No one is supposed to know who the Shirt Tales really are, let alone that they are five (later six) talking animals. The mere fact that they '''are''' talking animals is the perfect cover since most humans would assume that the Shirt Tales were also humans. So, they aren't as "overt" as the trope would imply.

* CatsAreMean: Averted in Tyg's case. However, in "Figby, the Spoiled Brat Cat", the commissioner's wife asks Mr. Dinkel to babysit her kitten, Figby, and Dinkel immediately dumps the cat on the Shirt Tales. At first Figby [[BitchInSheepsClothing appears to put cute, friendly, and harmless, but turns out to be a sneaky, spoiled-rotten, mischievous troublemaker]]. He runs off to an amusement park and plays dirty pranks on the Shirt Tales throughout the episode. He then teases a dog who follows him back to Oak Tree Park and chases him all over, causing a huge mess. When Mr. Dinkel returns, the Shirt Tales are scolded, the dog is sent away, and Figby gets off scot-free. Fortunately, Figby gets his just desserts when his owner returns and reveals she had [[LaserGuidedKarma adopted the dog he was teasing earlier]] ([[IronicName now named Precious]]) to keep Figby company.
