Added DiffLines:

* LibraryEpisode: In "But That is My Book", Charlie takes Lola to the library to rent a book she wants to read, ''Beatles, Bugs, and Butterflies''. When she cannot find the book anywhere, Charlie suggests ''Cheetahs and Chimpanzees'' as an alternate option, but Lola isn't interested and insists they find what she wants. Lola is devastated when another girl finds the only copy of the book she wanted and checks it out, so she checks out Charlie's suggestion and finds herself liking it.

Added DiffLines:

* TitleReadingGag:
** Because "I'm Really Ever So Not Well" involves Lola with a cold, she reads the title in a groggy voice and sneezes before reading it.
** The title card for "Yes I Am, No You're Not" has Lola read the first three words in a PunctuatedForEmphasis voice, and Charlie read the last three words in a frustrated voice, because the episode is about their SiblingRivalry.

Added DiffLines:

* RightForTheWrongReasons: In one episode, Lola is right that [[YourTomcatIsPregnant Bert the guinea pig is actually a girl]], but she thinks it's because [[LongHairIsFeminine her fur is long]]. Actually, fur length doesn't determine the sex of a guinea pig, Bert just happened to be a girl.


Added DiffLines:

* TrojanVeggies: In "I Will Not Ever, Never, Eat a Tomato", Lola refuses to eat any of the foods on her plate, so Charlie tricks her into eating it by pretending it comes from silly places like outer space or the clouds and giving it wacky names.

Added DiffLines:

* HatedItemMakeover: In "This is Actually My Party", Lola takes down her older brother Charlie's decorations for [[BirthdayEpisode his birthday party]] and changes it from a monster theme to a ballet theme. This annoys him to no end, partly because he doesn't like the change, partly because a lot of the decorations were pink and he hates pink, and partly because he feels Lola is acting as though it's her party instead of his.
