* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the episode "How Do Flowers Grow", the [=StoryBots=] visit Bang's friend Moonbeam to ask for his help on the titular question. Moonbeam then goes on a tangent about how flowers are grown in your mind and while he is rambling the screen slowly morphs into a psychedelic mess.

!! ''Ask the [=StoryBots=]'' provides examples of:
* ArtShift:
** Heading to the Outer World turns the traditionally animated [=StoryBots=] into CGI-animated ones.
** The songs that are included from the original website have wildly varying art styles from the show itself.
*BigFun: Bo is a rare female. The tallest and widest of the [=StoryBots=], she’s also ridiculously heartfelt and loves just about everything.
*BigOlUnibrow:
** Boop is the only member of the team to have a unibrow instead of two separate eyebrows, to heighten his grumpy nature.
** Hap also has a thick black unibrow, also to heighten his grumpiness. He’s one of the few characters to have eyebrows that aren’t the same color as he is, which makes his stand out more.
* ChristmasEpisode: “A [=StoryBots=] Christmas”, which was released as a separate video from the show in itself.
* CutenessProximity: Twice the things that drop down the transfer tubes have caused Hap to devolve into squeeing. Once it was baby bunnies, the other time it was baby birds.
* DifferentInEveryEpisode:
** The material that falls out with Answer Team 341B to mess up Hap’s office is different every episode.
** The hat that Bo wears before being sucked up the transport tube is a different one each time.
* DrivingQuestion: Each episode is themed around a specific question that needs to be answered, such as “why is the sky blue?” or “how does night happen?”. The episode then finds the elements to answer that question, and recaps it in the end with a song.
* EruditeStoner: Bang is ridiculously chill and calm, while speaking in the stereotypical “stoner voice”, but also admits to “having his moments” on the proper place to search for an answer.
* FourthWallMailSlot: The series takes questions from real children as the subjects of the episodes.
* GenderFlip: Beep was originally a male [=StoryBot=] in the “Beep & Boop” app, but was made female in the show.
* GrumpyBear:
** Boop, in contrast to the other members of his team, is dour and pessimistic. He sometimes cracks smiles, but this is often when he’s alone.
** Hap, in the sense of an “overworked boss”, is ultra-shouty and strict towards his workers.
* TheHyena: Hub and Bub are almost always giggling, often at their own mischievous handiwork.
* {{Keet}}: Bing, he’s the smallest, but he’s a ridiculous livewire that is always running around and acting on impulse.
* MeanBoss: Hap is ridiculously short-tempered, shouting at his workers and demanding them around.
* MediumBlending: The show uses a variety of animation styles, from traditional to CGI to stop motion, depending on the character. This often leads to the [=StoryBots=] interacting with characters in a different art style than they are.
* NoodleImplements: We never learn the questions that Hap’s answers are for.
* OnlySaneWoman: Beep is the logical and serious member of the team, and the one that stays focused on the mission at hand.
* PieEyed: [=StoryBots=] in their “in computer” designs have pupils with a slice cut out for highlights. Their designs in the Outer World change them into standard pupils with light highlights instead.
* PokemonSpeak: Boop only speaks by saying “Boop”, a holdover from the “Beep & Boop” app, where both Beep and Boop only said their names, in the sense of a “correct answer, wrong answer” way.
* RefugeeFromTVLand: [=StoryBots=] live inside computers, and heading to the Outer World brings them into reality.
* RogerRabbitEffect: Going to the Outer World has the [=StoryBots=] interacting with live action humans.
* ShiftedToCGI: This happens in-show. The traditionally animated characters turn into CGI ones when they leave the computer.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Hub and Bub, two [=StoryBots=] that are constantly together, constantly giggling, and constantly pulling mischief. Their scenes preface the song breaks of the episodes, with small vignettes at their station that relate to the song in question.
