* UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash: Used to animate the book-reading sequences.

** In "Snowbuddies", the "One Fine Stew" book is a LighterAndSofter version of the folktale "StoneSoup".

** After reading "The Sky is Falling", Ray [[ComicallyMissingThePoint misreads the moral of the story]] as "If you're afraid of something, tell a king about it". He then grabs a phone book and searches for a king in it, and the oly "King" names he finds are Music/BBKing, Film/KingKong and "Sky King". It doubles as ParentalBonus.

* OverlyLongGag: In the episode "Growing Pains", as Dasha is struggling to put her foot inside a rainboot, Ray tries to advice her by supposedly quoting stuff his grandpa Rocky once said. [[BlatantLies It's very obvious he's making those quotes up depending on what happens with Dasha]].
