* LaboriousLaziness: A RunningGag has Thunk, who is the only Crood who doesn't find relaxation boring, ask someone to bring his drink to him, complaining that it would be too much work to get up to get it himself. As the episode goes on, he walks greater distances to ask this of them, it never occurring to him that it would be easier to get it himself.

!! Tropes for this episode include:
* FantasticFruitsAndVegetables: Bounceberries are the size of yoga-balls and leap off of their bushes to bounce when they are ripe. "Harvesting" them boils down to trying to catch them and, while delicious, freshly caught berry juice is as sticky as tar that can be dissolved in water.
* HappyEndingOverride: ''A New Age'' ended with the Croods and the Bettermans making peace with the Punch-Monkeys and knocking down the wall. Here, the series opens with the reveal that the Punch-Monkeys are ''so'' obnoxious as neighbors, they rebuilt the wall to keep them out. Considering Dawn is no longer forbidden from leaving, this can be considered a downplayed version.
