* ExtremelyEasyExam: In "The Naked and the Dumb", the Action League's test to renew their action hero licenses is the First Grade Equivalency Test, given to them by Bill the Lab Guy. Most of the members of the Action League pass the test, but the only one who doesn't is [[DumbMuscle The Flesh]], who [[ScantronPicture marked his answers in the shape of a kitten]]. The only way The Flesh can stay in the league is to retake the test and pass, and since The Flesh is the only member with SuperStrength, the rest of the League take turns tutoring him, suffering a series of AmusingInjuries in the process. When The Flesh retakes the test, he gets every answer right, and reveals the secret to his success; this time, he marked his answers in the shape of a dog.

* {{Balloonacy}}:
** In "No Fly Zone", Thundergirl loses her ability to fly, and she needs it to rescue two kids, who are being held for ransom by the Mayor in a birdhouse. One of her attempts to fly up to the birdhouse is to tie herself to a bunch of balloons so they can carry her up. Unfortunately, they carry her up too high and Stinky has to use his spear gun to pop them.
** In "Meltman at Large", two kids holding on to some balloons get trapped in a tree at a birthday party. Meltman, who has become a giant from drinking Bill's secret formula, manages to rescue the kids by grabbing the balloons, but when the formula wears off, he shrinks back to his normal size and the balloons carry him away.
--->'''The Flesh:''' Well, at least Melty got his raise!\\
'''Thundergirl:''' Boy, I'm sure gonna miss him.\\
'''Stinky Diver:''' Me, too. Who's gonna get us donuts?

** "Testimony of Terror" has the League becoming this to a BrattyHalfPint.



* BrattyHalfPint: Just about every kid seen is a snarky, obnoxious brat from the kids who wind up terrorizing the Mayor in "No Fly Zone" to those same kids who chuck one of the eggs the League has to look after in "Where Pigeons Dare." The champion of them is the little kid from "Testimony of Terror" who makes life for the League, his bodyguards, a living hell to the point where they start rooting for the Mayor to do their worst to him.

When Stinky finds out about this from Justice, he comes to the Mayor's mansion to battle the Mayor and save the rest of the League.

Our heroes were The Flesh (a ''Series/ConanTheAdventurer'' doll modified to replace his hips/loincloth with a [[BarbieDollAnatomy Ken type bulge]] who was described as "super-strong and super-naked"), Thunder Girl (a superheroine with a [[=Sindy=]] doll head who just flew around and complained about how stupid her teammates were, even though she could be just as clueless as the others), Stinky Diver (a loose cannon with a thick British accent and perpetual body odor, made from a Franchise/GIJoe Shipwreck action figure) and Melt-Man (a not-too-bright melted Franchise/GIJoe-like figurine "with the power to... ''melt!''"). They tended to suffer horrible injuries. They were accompanied by The Chief, who would often shout "BLAST IT!" and berate the team for their screw-ups; Justice the Dog, and Bill the Lab Guy, who spoke in monotone, and often made strange inventions and devices to help the League, though these would often be stolen or otherwise used to harm the League.

* WeWantOurIdiotBack: Played with in the episode, "A Flesh of Brilliance". The Action League downloads the knowledge of the world into The Flesh's brain to keep it from getting in the hands of the evil genius, Smarty Pants, who wants to use said knowledge to take over the world. As a result of the download, The Flesh becomes smart. At first, the rest of the League likes the new smarter Flesh, but they start to dislike him when he programs a VCR to record nothing but the History Channel. The Flesh also gets on The Chief's nerves by [[YouMakeMeSic correcting his grammar]]. The Chief asks the rest of League if they want the old dumb Flesh back, and they all agree. When Smarty Pants captures the League as a result of The Chief getting aggravated by The Flesh's grammar corrections, The Flesh comes to rescue the League, challenging Smarty Pants to a game of chess. Smarty Pants knocks out all of The Flesh's knowledge, but The Flesh still wins the chess game anyway. After Smarty Pants is arrested, the League is glad to have the old dumb Flesh back, but when The Flesh causes the league to get crushed by some of Smarty Pants' stolen encyclopedias, the League wants the new smart Flesh back again.
