The Tropes of Swamp Lagoon:
- Bland-Name Product: Big Al Gator plays a "Pineway" piano, a pun on the piano company "Steinway."
- Edutainment Show
- Religious Edutainment: Not the show itself necessarily, but there are some books, and other merchandise based on the show that have religious themes, possibly the reason why it can now be seen on various religions-based TV stations and networks.
- Punny Name: Ribbit E. Leenote , Ima Dilla, and Gumbo the "Fiddler" Crab, as well as recurring character "Melvis Weasley", and of course Big Al Gator. There's also "Bobby Q" Pig, the chef's son.
- The Runaway: One episode dealt with Bobby Q. Pig (the son of the chief cook at Big Al's) running away from home, and wanting to be a riverboat captain. like Ribbit E. Lee.
- Running Gag: Phineas Phatrat constantly calls Billy Bob Possum "Willy Bob". At least one episode has Billy Bob calling Phineas out on this.
- The Smurfette Principle: Ima Dilla is the only female member of the group, and the only one who is The Voiceless.
- Species Surname: Most of the cast, including some that double as punny names (see above). The only exception appears to Ribbit E. Lee.note
- Theme Tune Roll Call: Both the opening theme and the first ending theme.
- Verbal Tic: "SON!", This is practically Ribbit E. Lee's trademark.note
- "Uh", don't forget Joe Raccoon as well.
- Big Al Gator does it too. "Ohhhhh!"
- T-Bone Willy also does this, "boy!"
