* NightmareFuel: A lot of the emergencies are this in general due to how frequent they are and the fact that many involve young children at the forefront. But here are just some examples:
** "Case of the Liquoride Shoelaces" has Dilys come very to suffocating from smoke due to her forgetting to change the smoke alarm's batteries and placing newspapers beside a heater while sleeping.
** "Deepwater" has Norman and Mandy search for treasure in Pontypandy, and while hunting, a sinkhole suddenly devours Mandy, causing her to not only be trapped in a cave but also break her arm from the fall. And to make matters worse? The hole starts filling up with water. Thank goodness [[BigDamnHeroes Sam came when he did.]]
** "Froggy Fantasy" has Norman at his worst as he locks James into a changing room so he can be the star of the Froggy Fantasy. Things get much worse when a fire starts, and it's right next to the door where Norman locked James earlier. If not for Sam, things would've turned out much differently, thanks to Norman's selfish actions.
** Everything to do with the fire in "The Great Fire of Pontypandy." Thanks to Norman and Derek getting the [[SarcasmMode utterly brilliant]] idea to bring and cook sausages in a forest, they start the biggest fire in the show. By the time Sam and his crew get to the scene, [[spoiler: the fire has already spread to the point where the only feasible thing to do is to evacuate the town.]] Luckily, [[spoiler: rainfall is able to put out the fire just in time.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Two portable games consoles used by James and Sarah are rectangular-shaped with the controls on the sides and the screen in the middle. Given the period of the episode airing, it was likely meant to be an {{Expy}} of the UsefulNotes/WiiU and the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS. Still, there's also a small slot at the top, which resembles a cartridge slot. This description nearly matches one for the portable mode of the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. This became even more hilarious following the Nintendo Switch Mini's release, where both consoles match the solid non-detachable controller sides and the pastel colours.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: In the classic series, Sarah and James looked older than they should be due to the crude nature of the models. From the fifth season onward, they look as young as they should.

** In "Magic Norman", the portraits of the firefighters on Boyce's sheet is clearly taken from their default pose in animation testing. This is especially noticeable in Sam and Elvis, whose models are rather wall-eyed.
