!!It's troping time!:
* AlliterativeName: Most of the character's names begin with the first letter of what kind of vehicle/machine they are, such as Paulie Police Car, Robbie Robot, Harry Hotrod, and Tilly Train among others.
* BuddyCopShow: A variant which involves a police car and fire truck duo.
* CleverCrows: Inverted; While Calamity Crow isn't "dumb" dumb, he constantly gets himself and most of the time, others into danger.
* EnlightenedSelfInterest: In "One Hundred Cats", after Fiona rescues her 99th cat from a tree, the mayor tells her that once she rescues her 100th cat, a party will be held on her behalf, along with a trophy. This leads to Fiona getting so worked up about the party and trophy to the point where she nearly rescues a cat over Hotdog Herbie, whose apartment is on fire.
* FourLeafClover: Calamity Crow bears one in "Luck Be a Crow", and when he starts to notice he's protected from bad luck, he 'deliberately puts himself into danger' because he has his four-leaf clover.
* FunnyAnimal: Among the sentient vehicles, a race of anthropomorphic birds exist such as Calamity Crow, Hotdog Herbie, and [=MC=] Squawk.
* FurryConfusion: While sapient avians do exist in the show, non-sapient ducks, 'geese', and ''crows'' exist in the show. Take into account that Calamity is a crow.
** It gets even weirder in an episode where Hotdog Herbie is seen ''chasing a flock of geese''.
* IdenticalTwinMistake: In "Walking the Prank", Harry Hotrod gets framed by the whole town for pranks he didn't commit, which were actually pulled by his cousin Wayne, who almost bears a striking resemblance to him.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [=MC=] Squawk is a parody of Creator/MCHammer.
* PaletteSwap: Any OneShotCharacter will simply be a recolor of a main character with an added or removed accessory:
** All of the background cars who serve little importance are simply recolors of Paulie Police Car and Harry Hotrod.
** Roberta Robot is a recolor of Robby Robot, only with hair and glasses.
** Larry Locomotive is a multicolored Tilly Train with a moustache and tophat.
* PlotAllergy: After Alice eats a "shushberry" cake in "Alice's Alarm", she quickly develops a reaction to the cake, which leads to Calamity Crow translating her muffled dialogue over to Paulie and Fiona, albeit very off.
* SentientVehicle: Every. Single. Vehicle (although other objects who aren't vehicles apply, such as a pair of fixed binoculars named Lookout Luke, and Alice Alarm, a loudspeaker).
* SteamNeverDies: Despite being set in a time with fully functional robots and computers, Tilly Train and Larry Locomotive are both steam trains.
* TalentShow: One episode involves Calamity Crow trying out for a talent show, but during his performance he accidentally sets the stage on fire.
