"Snapnapped" provides examples of:

  • Accidental Misnaming: Keswick corrects Snaptrap the first couple of times he says his name incorrectly, but quickly gives up. Keswick does it with his own name at the end of the episode, as well as Snaptrap's, with Snaptrap correcting him.
  • Bland-Name Product:
    • When Keswick presents his Donut-omic Atomizer to T.U.F.F., Dudley is seen playing a Game Pup.
    • The donut store that Keswick goes to for his jelly donut run is called Dumpin' Donuts.
  • The Cameo: Among the villains that Snaptrap invites to D.O.O.M. HQ for a party to celebrate its new technology are the Chameleon, Bird Brain, and Zippy.
  • Chekhov's Gag: Near the beginning of this episode, Keswick invents the Dount-omic Atomizer, which not only creates delectable donuts out of thin air, but also captures a baker's dozen of villains in one fell swoop. Near the end of the episode, he uses it to capture Snaptrap and his henchmen to prove to T.U.F.F. that he is still on their side.
  • *Crack!* "Ow, My Back!": Keswick does this after revealing to T.U.F.F. that he was loyal to them all along.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Keswick, by far. He's made a machine that makes donuts out of thin air and redesigned D.O.O.M.'s lair using soup cans and a shark tank.
  • Growling Gut: Dudley's stomach growls, then howls like a wolf when Dudley becomes impatient waiting for Keswick returns with the jelly-filled donuts.
  • Short-Distance Phone Call: When Snaptrap gets a phone call from the Mole, he says that the connection sounds so great, it's as if he's right next to him. In the next shot, the Mole really is standing right next to him.
  • Tin-Can Telephone: Prior to Keswick upgrading their technology, D.O.O.M. communicates through telephones made from soup cans.
  • Tongue Twister: The password to disable Keswick's security system is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers". The T.U.F.F. agents have a hard time saying the password when the security system is activated, and after they finally do, Dudley ends up saying "T.U.F.F. the tooth mobile!", and Kitty has to correct him.
  • True Companions: Near the end of the episode, Keswick reveals to T.U.F.F. that he would never betray them, no matter how much they mistreat him, because he considers them his family.
  • The Walls Are Closing In: Keswick installs a security system in T.U.F.F. HQ that has these walls, complete with Spikes of Doom. The only way to disable it is by saying the password, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
  • You, Get Me Coffee: The Chief makes Keswick get him a box of jelly-filled donuts when Keswick reveals that his Donut-omic Atomizer only makes glazed donuts. As he does this, Keswick complains about T.U.F.F. not appreciating his Gadgeteer Genius talents. At the end of the episode, after Keswick uses his Donut-omic Atomizer to capture every villain in Petropolis, the Chief decides to have Dudley get the donuts from now on so Keswick can focus more on his inventions.

"Mom-a-Geddon" provides examples of:

  • Accidental Misnaming: Peg constantly misnames Kitty "Mitzi".
  • Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: This exchange when Dudley is about to save Peg from Bird Brain while all three are in bumper cars (It Makes Sense in Context):
    Dudley: I got you, mom!
    (Zippy runs on the steering wheel of Dudley's bumper car, causing it to spin out of control)
    Dudley: I don't got you, mom!
  • Big "WHAT?!": This episode has three examples:
    • First, when everyone finds out that Bird Brain's bracelet, which is under Dudley's possession, is really a deadly toilet laser.
    • Peg reacts like this when she is not pleased to find out about Dudley's job as a T.U.F.F. agent.
    • Finally, everyone's reaction of her deciding not to make Dudley quit his job.
  • Bird-Poop Gag: When Dudley and Kitty arrive at Bird Brain's lair, disguised as his minions, Dudley tells Bird Brain he needs to have Desiree, his maid come twice a week, since his lair is covered in bird droppings.
  • Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Averted; Zippy tells Bird Brain, a flightless bird, that he can fly if he only believes. Brain Brain tries it and promptly falls to the ground.
  • Evil Duo: This episode marks the debut appearances of Professor Bird Brain and Zippy, who cameoed in the previous segment.
  • Fur Is Clothing: This episode reveals that Dudley wears underpants underneath pants that look like naked animal legs when Peg says she put a tracking device in them.
  • Grappling-Hook Pistol: Dudley uses one to latch onto T.U.F.F. HQ as he rescues Peg.
  • Handbag of Hurt: Peg hits Keswick with her purse when he tries to take Bird Brain's bracelet from her.
  • Hat of Flight: Bird Brain wears a helmet with a propeller on it to allow him to fly.
  • Human Cannonball: Bird Brain launches himself from a cannon as one of his ways of infiltrating T.U.F.F. Headquarters.
  • I Am Not Weasel: When Peg starts to suspect that Dudley is lying to her, she mistakes Bird Brain, a blue-bottomed booby, for a penguin. Later, when Bird Brain captures her to reclaim his toilet laser, she calls him a woodpecker, and Bird Brain has to correct her.
  • Instantly Defeathered Bird: When Peg gets ahold of Bird Brain's bracelet, Kitty worries that it might be as deadly as Bird Brain's electric money clip, which is now in the possession of one of T.U.F.F.'s chicken agents. When he tries to purchase something from the nearby vending machine, the money clip explodes, turning him into a roast chicken.
  • Kite Riding: One of the ways Bird Brain tries to fly is by riding a $4.00 kite.
  • My Beloved Smother: Peg doesn't know that Dudley is a T.U.F.F. agent, and if she finds out that Dudley has a dangerous job, she'll make him quit it. Dudley lies to Peg that he works at a retirement home for moose, but she soon finds out the truth. Fortunately, she lets Dudley keep his job after he saves her from Bird Brain.
  • Rump Roast: Dudley's butt gets zapped by Agent Nuts when he shoots at his reflection in a mirror.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Dudley blindfolds Peg and pretends to drive her to an airplane-themed restaurant to keep her from finding out he's a T.U.F.F. agent. When Peg asks Dudley if they're really in a car, Dudley tells her "Well, it's not like I blindfolded you and put you in an office chair in the hallway!"
