* AlliterativeTitle: '''M'''ermaid '''M'''indy.
* ChasingAButterfly: Mindy chasing a jellyfish is what sets off this episode's plot.
* ClamTrap: A giant clam has a pearl necklace on its tongue to lure unsuspecting sea creatures to it. It first catches and eats a small fish, then when Mindy tries to take its necklace, Buttons pushes her out of the way just in time, resulting in him getting eaten (fortunately, the clam spits him out).
* PsychoElectricEel: When Mindy comes to a polluted part of the sea, an electric eel pops out of a barrel and chases her. Buttons saves Mindy from the eel, but gets electrocuted by it in the process.
* ShoutOut: This episode is set to calypso music, a reference to the song, "Under the Sea" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989''. In addition, Buttons encounters an electric eel who resembles Flotsam and Jetsam.

Fortunately, the shark spits him out, along with the other fish it ate earlier. Said shark also chases Buttons through Mindy's Parents' kelp bed, which results in Buttons getting punished.
* UnderTheSea: The entirety of the cartoon takes place underwater, not unlike the 1989 Disney film, ''The Little Mermaid'', whose famous song is the TropeNamer.
* XRaySparks: Happens to Buttons when he gets electrocuted by the electric eel.
