* GreaterScopeVillain: The main antagonist of season 5 is Rules, a personification of the concept of rules who keeps harassing the residents of Smileyland and messing with their games by forcing them to comply with strict rules and handing out {{Cool and Unusual Punishment}}s whenever they disobeyed.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Stumpy and Quack-Quack are inseparably close friends to the point where one episode showed that their friendship could quite literally transcend the boundaries of space and time, and another stated that they regularly hang out for more than twelve hours at a stretch.

In one episode he got jealous of Quack-Quack spending more time with Eugly than with him, but it is repeatedly made clear that Stumpy's feelings for Quack-Quack are only platonic.

* MultipleChoicePast: Mr. Cat's early childhood. All the choices are horrible, but there are many different ones.

* MultipleChoiceFuture: There are multiple episodes that show the futures the main four could have, and each one is different because it's based on what the characters are doing in the present. The trope is even lampshaded in Episode 30, where witnessing a BadFuture makes them promise to actively take steps to avoid what caused it.
* MultipleChoicePast: Subverted with Mr. Cat's early childhood. All In the choices are horrible, but there are many earlier seasons he would constantly rattle off a different ones. For version of what happened to him (for example, one version says that he was tied up in a sack and thrown into a river, then subsequently [[RaisedByWolves rescued and raised by a salmon]]. Another salmon]] while another one says he ran away from home to escape from a very abusive family and wound up in Smileyland.Smileyland), until season 5 explained that the abusive family backstory is the only true one and [[UnreliableNarrator Mr. Cat is prone to lying about his past to avoid having to talk to his friends about the abuse he faced.]]

** Invoked in Episode 218. This being a series with NoFourthWall, Kaeloo deliberately reduces the quality of the first half of the episode so the animation budget can go towards a fight scene between Mr. Cat and Quack-Quack near the end of the episode. The ensuing fight scene has some of the most fluid animation in the entire series.
