Opening Line: "Uhh..."- Yakko
The Tiger Prince: Yakko stars in a parody of "The Lion King", which makes Yakko highly confused at the end.
All the Words In The English Language - Part 1: In a sequel to "Yakko's World", Yakko attempts to sing all the words in the English language, with Dot Warner and guest star Dick Button providing commentary as a skating routine.
The Kid In the Lid: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot star in a parody of a famous Seuss book.
All the Words In The English Language - Part 2: By the second act, Yakko begins to get tired as he makes his halfway point into successfully singing all the words. Dot is assured that Yakko will make it.

All the Words In The English Language - Part 3: An overly-exhausted Yakko manages to scrape through the final sets of words in the English Language but is shocked to find out that tomorrow he'll have to sing all the numbers above zero, causing Yakko to faint.
"The Tiger Prince" contains examples of:
- Affectionate Parody: of the "Circle of Life" scene from the beginning of The Lion King (1994).
- Black Comedy: After Yakko accidentally drops the cub, his line suggests the cub didn't survive.Yakko: Oooh. I thought they were supposed to land on their feet.
- "Lion King" Lift: With Yakko as Rafiki lifting up the tiger cub. Which he then drops.
"All The Words In The English Language" contains examples of:
- As Himself: Skating analyst Dick Button provided his own voice, analyzing Yakko's performance like a figure skating routine. At one point, Button mispronounces Yakko's name just as he does with actual skaters.
- Here We Go Again!: While Yakko, who is overly exhausted in the final act of the episode, manages to scrape through all the words, the episode ends with him finding out he'll have to sing all the numbers above zero. The episode ends as Yakko faints to the floor.
- Take Our Word for It: We are only seen Yakko singing some words from the A's, the F's (briefly, in a "costly error"), the L's, and the Z's, because if he actually sang all the words in the English language, the short would be too long.
"The Kid in the Lid" contains examples of:
- Extreme Omnivore: Wakko eats cans of vegetables and a bag of flour (yes, this includes the containers), then he eats the dishes, the sink, and the refrigerator.
- Fun with Flushing: After Yakko gives Scooter and Mary's pet woodchuck a bath, he pulls the plug to drain the water. The woodchuck goes down the drain and ironically ends up in the toilet.
- Heat Wave: In contrast to the source material, Scooter and Mary are inside because it's too hot to play outside instead of too rainy.
- Parental Abandonment: Scooter and Mary's parents have been gone for 90 days, spending a vacation in the Bahamas. They do return home near the end of the short.
- Product Placement: Two references are made to Rice-a-Roni.Dot: The San Francisco Treat.
- Rhymes on a Dime: Much like the source material, all of the dialogue is done in rhyme.
- Shout-Out: At the end of the short, the family is seen eating Green Ham.
- Something We Forgot: Yakko traps the woodchuck in the toilet. At the end of the short, the woodchuck can be heard saying "Hello? Hello? Anyone? Anybody? Can anyone hear me? I'm still in the potty!"
- Sticky Situation: One of Yakko's ideas on how to have fun is to glue things together.Yakko: Lots of wet glue, we'll make a big mess! We'll glue things together! Your parents will stress!
- Toilet Humor:
- When the two kids are bored from doing nothing but watching television, Scooter spills some soda on his crotch, making it look like he wet his pants. Mary sees this and giggles.
- When the woodchuck objects to Yakko visiting, one of the things he describes about him is that "His pants have a real funny smell." as he holds his nose.
- A literal example after Yakko gives the woodchuck a bath. When he pulls the plug, the woodchuck goes down the drain and ends up in the toilet. The toilet then explodes and its water floods the house and splashes into the street, where the children swim in it.Scooter: Kids came from all over to splash in the lake, not knowing the source was our potty break.
Mary: They're swimming in water straight out of our toilet!
Scooter: Think we should tell them?
Yakko: Nah, that'd just spoil it.
- Trash the Set: The Warners' antics end up destroying Scooter and Mary's house. However, they do rebuild it so as not to get the two kids in trouble with their parents when they return home.
- Whole-Plot Reference: To The Cat in the Hat.
"Method To Her Madness" contains examples of:
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: The actors Slappy and Skippy encounter are caricatures of famous 1950s movie stars like Marlon Brando, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. The teacher, Lee Stressbird, is a parody of Lee Strasberg, a teacher of the Stanislavski method at the Actor's Studio in New York.
- Totally Radical: Invoked. Skippy in this short speaks like a beatnik, Daddy-o.
