Bleep

  • Alien Episode: This episode is about Bleep coming back to Jellystone.
  • An Aesop:
    • Just because you like something, doesn't mean everyone else will.
    • Always make sure to include your friends.
  • Big "NO!": Space Ghost says "NOOOOOOO!" when the Bleeps invade his spaceship.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: The aliens cannot eat spicy things, otherwise they will turn evil.
  • Call-Back: Cindy says that she remembers Bleep from a previous encounter.
  • The Cameo:
  • Companion Cube: Peter Potamus' dakimakura (revealed to be named Ayako) is treated as a real person.
  • Cucumber Facial: Snagglepuss and Squiddly Diddly are shown getting facials together.
  • Dr. Jerk: When Wally is being attacked by piranhas, Cindy doesn't bother to help him because it's her day off.
  • Engrish: Invoked by Peter, who points out that Ayako hasn't eaten her "grilled cheesu".
  • Face on a Milk Carton: In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, Scrappy-Doo can be seen on Cindy's milk carton.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: At the pottery place, you can see Mr. Jinks making a teapot for Huck that says "#1 Boss". Also, Choo-Choo is making a coffee mug for Top Cat and Brain is making a Spooky figurine.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: The good Bleep makes a (presumably) non-fatal one in order to help send the evil Bleeps into space.
  • Insane Troll Logic: Subverted. Cindy decides that the only way to turn the evil Bleeps normal (as regular milk only works temporarily) is to send them into space. The “Milky Way”, as she rationalizes. Considering they are normal when we see them again at the very end, she might have been right.
  • Insert Song: Two. One is a sad keyboard song by Cindy, and another one about the friendship between Cindy and Bleep.
  • Lonely Among People: Cindy is sad because no one will hang out with her. Not even Peter will hang out with her, as he's hanging out with his anime body pillow.
  • Musicalis Interruptus: Cindy's Melancholy Musical Number is interrupted by Bleep crashing into her house.
  • Never My Fault: Surprisingly, Cindy takes responsibility for cloning Bleep. It's Yogi who doesn't take responsibility for the hot sauce hose.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Yogi tries to get rid of the aliens by spraying hot sauce on them, causing them to turn evil, even though Cindy told him not to feed them spicy things.
  • Photo-Booth Montage: During the insert song, Cindy and Bleep go into a photo booth, and we get to see the photos they took together.
  • Piranha Problem: Wally is shown being bitten by piranhas.
  • Shout-Out: Both Cindy and Bleep are shown doing pottery together, much to the confusion and slight disgust of Choo-Choo, Brain, and even Mr. Jinks.
  • Swan Boats: Peter rides with his body pillow Ayako-chan in a swan boat. When they fall off, Peter cannot swim and asks the pillow for help.
  • Take That!: Towards Scrappy. He is apparently missing, according to the Face on a Milk Carton gag described above.

Yogi's Midlife Crisis

  • A Day in the Limelight: Besides Yogi, Squiddly also gets a lot of focus in the episode.
  • Band Episode: Yogi starts his own band with Doggie Daddy, Captain Caveman, Chopper, and Squiddly Diddly. However, Squiddly ends up outshining him.
  • Battle of the Bands: The climax of the episode is a battle of the bands between Squiddly and the Diddlys and the one-man band Yogi's Midlife Crisis.
  • Birthday Episode: Lambsy has his birthday in this episode. Yogi's band performs there.
  • Garage Band: Yogi performed in a garage band in his youth. To solve his midlife crisis, he forms a garage band in the present day. Bobbie Looey is rather annoyed that they are performing in her garage.
  • A Good Name for a Rock Band: Yogi gets the idea for the name of his band when Boo-Boo says that the former must be having a midlife crisis.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Yogi says he wanted to be "hecking cool".
  • Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis: Yogi goes through a midlife crisis when he finds that he peaked in his youth. To relive his glory days, he forms a rock band aptly titled 'Yogi's Midlife Crisis'.
  • Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Yogi is revealed to be a horrible singer.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: Squiddly inadvertently ends up outshining Yogi with her great music skills.
