- Group Hug: The family shares one at the end of both installments.

- Parental Favoritism: Played for Laughs. Jetson is portrayed as Grandpa Bug's favorite of the two, with the latter even admitting it in the second installment.Grandpa Bug: See, that's why you're my favorite.
- Raised by Grandparents: Presumably, as we never see Jetson Bug and Flintstone Bug's real parents.
