12!!''Bossy Bear'' contains examples of:
13* ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily: Bossy (boy), Bissy (girl), and Cindy (baby).
14* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. While Bossy was more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold in the books, especially the first one, in this show he's much kinder. Most of his stints are based off of obliviousness than actual malice.
15* BilingualBonus: Being based off of Korean heritage, the series contains many Korean phrases, one even being heard in the theme song.
16* EmbarrassmentPlot: One episode focuses on Bossy trying to cheer up his sister after she embarrasses herself in front of her favorite band, Super Flock.
17* ExtremeDoormat: Turtle, especially in Just Say No.
18* RaisedByGrandparents: Turtle is raised by his grandmother.
19* RedOniBlueOni: Bossy is the red oni to Turtle's blue oni.
20* ShoutOut: One episode is called, "Just Say No".
21* ThreeShorts
22* VocalDissonance: Despite being six years old, Bossy and Turtle sound more like pre-teen boys, voice cracks and all. Justified since their voice actors are around that age.
23* WakingNonSequitur: Gran-Gran in "Happy Bestie-versary".
