** Also the [[spoiler: bleach nut, which has a terrible smell that "clears your mind"]]

* ConvenientComa: When Gobo, Red, and Mokey arrive at the Caves of Boredom to rescue Boober and Wembley, not only do the three of them fall victim to the amnesia-inducing flowers, but they all go catatonic, while standing up. Wembley revives them by [[spoiler:holding a piece of bleach-nut scented laundry under their noses]].

** Early on, Red accidentally breaks one of Boober's bleach nuts, which emits a gas that, in Red's words, "clears your brain." [[spoiler:Later, at the Caves of Boredom, Boober breaks another bleach nut when tossing it into his washtub with twigs and rock soap and dirty scarves, trying to remember how to make a meal for Wembley. The gas the bleach turns out to be the antidote for the spell of forgetfulness.]]

* SongOfCourage: Subverted, when Boober and Wembley want to leave the Caves of Boredom but can't remember the way out. Wembley suggests they sing the "Remembering Song" to keep their spirits up. But as they sing, their memory gets progressively worse, until most of the lyrics have been reduced to "something" and "na-na." Meanwhile, the [[ManEatingPlant killer plants]] in the caves keep reaching out and trying to grab them.

-->'''Storyteller:''' He was such a romantic Fraggle in his youth! Oh, I remember the time...!

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Caves of Boredom, as the Storyteller reveals to Gobo, Red, and Mokey.
-->'''Storyteller:''' Nowadays, they're called the Caves of Boredom. But once upon a time, those caves were called the Caves of Forgetfulness. Except everybody forgot that that's what they were called... because, of course, that's what they do. They make you forget things!

* SceneryPorn: The lighting and imagery in Boober's FantasySequence of multiple Boobers dancing around a maypole, doing laundry, dancing some more while another Boober plays the harp, myriads of bubbles floating around them...

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:Mokey's poem (see {{Foreshadowing}} below).]]

* ReminderFailure: Before leaving to save Boober and Wembley from the Caves of Boredom, Gobo, Red, and Mokey, on the advice of the Storyteller, make [[NoteToSelf lists of their agenda]]. They even tape them to one another's backs, to make them easier to look at. [[DidntSeeThatComing What they hadn't counted on was the flowers in the caves making them forget how to read.]]

* RescueReversal: Gobo, Red, and Mokey go to the Caves of Boredom to rescue Boober and Wembley. Instead, they almost immediately fall victim to the [[FoulFlowers amnesia-inducing flowers]], and Boober ends up saving them.

[[caption-width-right:350:Alone at last!]]

-->'''Storyteller:''' Oh, nobody wants to hear the whole story anymore. Ohhhh, [[UnusualEuphemism bulldoozers]]! ''[Goes into her cave and slams the door.]''

* FantasySequence: Boober has one while singing "I'm Never Alone," a song about preferring his own company to that of others. In it, multiple Boobers dance around a Maypole and do laundry.

* MesACrowd: Boober's fantasy sequence in the song "I'm Never Alone" features multiple Boobers.

* PlankGag: Boober carries a pole over his shoulders, with a bag at either end, when leaving for the Caves of Boredom. Wembley starts to follow him, almost getting hit whenever Boober turns. He ducks out of the way the first three times, but the fourth time's the charm.

* TitleThemeDrop: Red sings a portion of the show's actual theme song, and then makes up [[SongParody joke lyrics]] to poke fun at Boober. Boober is not amused, especially when Red shoves him playfully and he ends up dirtying his favorite scarf.
-->'''Red:''' ''[singing]'' Dance your pants away/Worries will be here to stay/If you spend your day/Down at Boober Rock!
