Balloon Loons contains examples of:
- Aerith and Bob: The majority of the balloon characters are named after the animal they shape, besides Steve who is just a traditional round balloon.
- Affectionate Nickname: Steve calls Elephant "Ellie" and "E" in "Class of 1985 High School Reunion."
- Animal Stereotypes: Dinosaur goes extinct, Duck and his entourage have a taste for breadcrumbs, and Dog is overly loyal.
- Black Comedy
- Brick Joke: Whoopee Cushion.
- Cerebus Syndrome
- Chekhov's Gun: The karaoke machine.
- Class Reunion: The Balloon Loons perform at one in "Class of 1985 High School Reunion."
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Dinosaur can be an example of this.
- Foreshadowing: The sharpie written on Elephant's face in "Little Hewey's 10th Birthday Bash" is decidedly villainous.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode's title derives from whatever event the Balloons are at.
