* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Bulk and Skull are together with Sharkie (the female punk from "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP3Teamwork Teamwork]]" played by StellaAngelova) and an unnamed black punk (played by stuntman Creator/ErikBetts) during their food fight plan. Sharkie will make one more appearance in a later episode but the black guy [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome never shows up again]].

** See {{Troll}}; Finster shows a mischievous side that doesn't come up at all in later episodes.

* FoodFight: Obviously.
** Doubles as a TitleDrop.

* MaleGaze: Bulk and Skull take time to oggle some hula-girls working for Ernie. He quickly snaps them out of it.

* [[SilentAntagonist Silent Mooks]]: Sharkie and the black thug have no dialogue in the episode.

* TheVoiceless: See [[SilentAntagonist Silent Mooks]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Pudgy Pig had a large fork and knife upon his creation. But doesn't use them through the rest of the episode, not even in the original ''Zyuranger'' episode.

* AbsenteeActor: Goldar isn't in this episode.

** A minor note, but when briefing the rangers about Pudgy Pig, Zordon does not refer to the monster by it's proper name calling him "a ravenous pig" instead. Somewhat interesting as Zordon usually calls most if not all monsters by their proper names. Though Zordon does calls it by its name in "A Pig Surprise".
** See {{Troll}}; Finster shows a mischevious side that doesn't come up at all in later episodes.

* HypocriticalHumor: When asked for a Pudgy Pig, Finster comments that it's not his best work. The moment that the creature gains the advantage over the rangers, he comments with pride that the pig is one of the best monsters he's ever made. One dead pig later, he's groveling to Rita about how he warned her that it wasn't his best creation.

The Youth Center is hosting Cultural Food Festival to raise money for playground equipment. Rita Repulsa who is very sick at the moment, sends the ravenous Pudgy Pig to eat everything in sight. Things get only worse when the monster eats the Rangers' weapons. Now the Power Rangers have to find a way to get their weapons back and destroy the Pudgy Pig before he consumes the world's food supply.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Pudgy Pig became extremely popular with fans pretty much immediately and over the years has pretty much become the quintessential ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' MonsterOfTheWeek, with the only ones even coming close being Eye Guy, King Sphinx, and Pumpkin Rapper.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: See MaleGaze below.

* BullyingTheDragon: Bulk and Skull tease Pudgy Pig, which only riles him up.

* EvilIsPetty: Rita decides to ruin the Food Festival due to the food making her feel ill.

* DevelopmentGag: Bulk and Skull hanging with other bullies. In the unaired pilot, Bulk is part of a gang who's leader resembles Skull.

* TheReveal: Sort of; since it wasn't at all hinted at during his first appearance in "Teamwork", the fact that Mr. Caplan wears a toupee can come off this way to newer viewers.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Bulk and Skull are together with Sharkie (the female punk from "Teamwork" played by StellaAngelova) and an unnamed black punk (played by stuntman Creator/ErikBetts) during their food fight plan. Sharkie will make one more appearance in a later episode but the black guy [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome never shows up again]].

* NoFourthWall: Pudgy Pig sniffs at the camera.

* AllAmericanFace: Jason and Kimberly serving the good ol' American food, like cheeseburgers and hot dogs.

* BigEater: Pudgy Pig. To give you an idea of just how big of an eater he is, Zordon figures that he could consume the entire world's supply of food in forty-eight hours.
