* TeamRocketWins: This is one of the few times that Chuck manages to score a solid victory in an episode. He succeeds in stealing and crushing all of the pineapples in the city, as well as making his mom happy for her birthday. Downplayed, since Wordgirl manages to make the family coleslaw with a pineapple that wasn't crushed.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Baby Mr. Big's attention span leaves a bit to be desired, as he keeps getting distracted by shiny things.


Added DiffLines:

* BrainyBaby: Mr. Big mostly retains his adult intelligence after turning to a baby, but with childish impulses like crying and playing horsey.
* BrokenRecord: It takes almost 20 seconds of Becky repeating the word "dehydrated" and Mr. Newman responding in confusion before she finally defines the word.
* CoincidentalBroadcast: Right after Becky comments that plant-sitting is as easy as stealing candy from a baby, that exact phrase is used to lead into a news story about the babified Mr. Big and Leslie are stealing from people in the park.
* CutenessProximity: When Mr. Big gets turned into a baby, people keep getting captivated by his cuteness. Not even Leslie is immune.
* GirlishPigtails: [=WordGirl=] gets these when Mr. Big's rattle turns her into a baby.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: When Leslie suggests that the babified Mr. Big is so cute that he could be phase two of his own evil plan, Mr. Big ignores her and repeats the idea almost word for word, claiming it as his own.
* NotSoStoic: CutenessProximity hits Leslie hard in this episode, and she spends much of it cooing over all the babies around her.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: When Becky discovers that Rex the Chia Pet has wilted due to her ignoring him, Bob wordlessly suggests painting him green so Mr. Newman won't notice. When Becky confesses the truth to Mr. Newman, he says that he appreciates that she's honest to him instead of trying to paint Rex green or something like that.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: When baby Mr. Big orders Leslie to take him to the park so he can keep looking at a sparkly disco ball, she asks if it's to put phase two of his plan into action.
-->'''Mr. Big:''' Oh, yeah, uh... What? Uh, yeah. Phase two. Sure.
* VocalDissonance: Mr. Big keeps his adult voice after turning into a baby.
* WhyDontYouMarryIt: Inverted. Mr. Big himself says that he loves the unspecified phase two of his evil plan so much that he wants to marry it.
