This episode contains examples of the following tropes.
- Abnormal Allergy: Papa Heffalump still has these. Besides his previously-shown allergy to deep holes, he also turns out to be allergic to furry woodland creatures and to his son messing up.
- Affably Evil: Papa Heffalump is a little more villainous in this episode due to him training Junior in "setting traps for woodland critters", but he's still very much a decent guy and a caring father, and a Graceful Loser when he's the one who ends up getting trapped, making him proud of Junior for accomplishing this.
- Correlation/Causation Gag: When Papa jumps into Gopher's hole, he remembers he's allergic to holes before sneezing, at the same time Gopher pushes his Plunger Detonator, resulting in Papa being sent into the air.Papa: Must be more allergic to holes than I thought.
- Running Gag: Like in his previous appearance, Papa Heffalump's allergies.
- Sequel Episode: To "There's No Camp Like Home".
- Stock Sound Effect: When Pooh and Piglet first hear Junior crying, a sound clip of Baby Kessie crying in "Find Her, Keep Her" is heard.
