* BeliefMakesYouStupid: The first episode introducing Under-Under and the You-Yous centers on a simple dilemma: the You-Yous worship a sacred pair of fuzzy dice and won't do ''anything'' without consulting them first. Not even seemingly obvious choices, like moving out of a palace that is underneath a gigantic stalactite that is '''clearly''' going to collapse at any moment. Russell spends the entire episode trying and failing to convince them to move, ultimately resorting to rigging the dice so they'll give the result to move when next consulted. He does this just in time, as the You-Yous leave their former palace barely ''seconds'' before the stalactite breaks free and crushes it. As King Hue of the You-Yous praises the fuzzy dice for speaking up when they did, Russell loses his patience and reveals that he tinkered with the dice. King Hue promptly declares war on Under for daring to tamper with the sacred fuzzy dice.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Loopy is normally just the goofy CourtJester of Under, with his signature gimmick being that he wears a little bell on a string tied to his nose. In one of the last episodes, however, it turns out that Loopy is actually the heir to a dynasty of powerful magical guardians who can use those nose-bells to warp reality. When a giant monster sealed by one of Loopy's ancestors breaks free and starts rampaging across the countryside, nobody seems able to stop it... until Loopy shows up and uses his nose-bell on it. He initially suggests that they trap the creature back under a mountain, which was where his ancestor put it, but a sympathetic Russell instead requests Loopy transport it to a nice but deserted island far away.
