* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The Yeti in this episode are rather different from the usual portrayal as white, fluffy snow monsters. The Yeti live in the Enlish woods, and are large, long-haired, brown creatures with a magical, hypnotic siren song that turns people into hippies, and they have a colonial social structure with a queen. Normally they hibernate for decades on end, but they periodically emerge to mate with humans.

In "Call of the Yeti", Vince and Howard have moved into an apartment with Naboo and Bollo, and they're going on a nice camping trip in the woods. They arrive at their destination, a cabin, and are greeted by a MountainMan who owns the place. He takes an immediate shine to Vince, and gets Howard to trade him some "alone time" with Vince in exchange for tipping him off about the location of a elusive and rare creature in the woods. This creature is the Yeti, and Howard sets off in pursuit of it.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: The owner of the cabin, a grizzled, bearded, overweight, crude redneck-type takes a fancy to Vince and won't take no for an answer. Vince is horrified by this.

Added DiffLines:

* InstantlyProvenWrong:
** Kodiak Jack asks Howard how a book could possibly help him against a grizzly bear out in the wild, and tosses his book out the window. The book immediately comes into contact with a bear's head, knocking it out.
** When Vince, Naboo, and Bollo first encounter the Yetis, Bollo quickly gets hippified. Naboo pulls Vince aside and tells him he has to concentrate on being a punk to resist the Yeti's hypnotic power, but reassures him that he'll be fine, because, as a shaman, his mind is a fortress. Cue immediate cut to Naboo wearing the white robes and flower crown and singing the Yeti's song.
* MountainMan: Kodiak Jack, a grizzled, bearded man dressed in a makeshift assortment of furs and flannel. He lives in a cabin in the woods by himself, speaks in a vaguely Southern accent, and claims to know the


Added DiffLines:

* OrbitalShot: Used hand in hand with RoundTableShot when the characters get caught in the song of the Yeti. The camera spins round and round Howard, and then various other characters cycle through the shot to give a trippy effect.

Meanwhile, Naboo and Bollo set out to pick up shaman supplies in the woods, and Vince fights off the mountain man's advances. While Naboo checks out shaman supplies, he learns that Howard is in grave danger, as the Yeti is a fearsome beast, and tonight they are extra aggressive as their queen hunts for someone to mate with. Naboo graps Vince and they all set out to rescue Howard.

At the grove of the Yeti, they find that Howard has turned into a hippie, singing a hypnotic song about abandoning all your friends and letting it go. The rest manage to grab Howard, but they are pursued back into the cabin by the Yeti queen, who wants them for mates. Due to a fortunately overstuffed suitcase, they are able to defeat the Yeti queen, but they all get transformed by the hypnotic song of the Yeti by the time they return home.

* BigfootSasquachAndYeti: The Yeti in this episode are rather different from the usual portrayal as white, fluffy snow monsters. The Yeti live in the Enlish woods, and are large, long-haired, brown creatures with a magical, hypnotic siren song that turns people into hippies, and they have a colonial social structure with a queen.

* BlackComedyRape: Threatened:
** Vince ends up alone in the cabin with its amorous owner, who seems determined to have him whether he likes it or not. Vince manages to fight him off with a hair straightener.
** The Yeti queen is looking for a mate. The fact that all the cast are terrified by this makes it clear what this involves, but they manage to escape.
* ChekhovsGag: The first bit in the episode involves Vince and Bollo struggling to cram a ceiling-high stack of clothes into a suitcase. Later on, this becomes key to defeating the Yeti Queen, as she steps on the suitcase, which explodes and catapults her through the roof.
* FleetingPassionateHobbies: In this episode, Howard is convinced he's an expert outdoorsman.
* RuggedScar: The owner of the cabin, a rugged MountainMan, mentions his many scars and asks Howard how many scars he has after Howard brags about his many "adventures".

* WeirdMoon: This episode introduces the Moon, who has a face, talks, and is sentient. He's a very strange guy who talks with a silly accent and rambles on about things that don't make much sense.
