* AnAesop: Every episode has a moral, most of which involve family dynamics.

* VagueAge: The monsters' ages are difficult to determine. They're giants who look and sound like adults, but are frequently shown to lack basic knowledge that an adult is unlikely to be ignorant of prior to their mother or another person informing them about the relevant subject, plus "The Whole Tooth" centers around Six losing a baby tooth when it is impossible for adults to have any baby teeth left. On the other hand, Three's personas tend to have him demonstrate knowledge and skills appropriate to his character that he'd realistically obtain through years of higher education, while the alternate timeline of the monsters not being related in "It's a Wonder-Four Life" shows the timeline's counterparts of One, Two, Three, Six and Seven to be working jobs that they'd only be eligible for hiring if they at least graduated high school (such as Six's counterpart being a dance instructor). Further complicating matters is that they are shown to have been significantly smaller as young children and Mama states in "Seven Monsters and a Baby" that she hasn't had much time to rest in 40 years, but doesn't state where in this time frame her children were born.

** The episode 'And Baby Makes Eight" revolves around Three wanting to be a baby again after being jealous of a neighbor's new baby, so he dresses up and acts like one.

* TuxedoAndMartini: "The Big Store" has Three pretend to be a secret agent, wearing a suit and speaking with a Sean Connery impression.

* WorldOfChaos: In "Dinner for Breakfast", the monsters aren't happy about having to go to bed instead of staying up late and wish upon the Plooky that everything was the opposite of how it's supposed to be. This leads to the monsters finding themselves in a world where night is day, dinner is eating at breakfasttime, fish fly in the sky and various other weird things happen. The monsters are eventually driven to wish things back to normal when [[MerlinSickness they start aging backwards]].

* AlasPoorYorick: When Three becomes a William Shakespeare pastiche named William Three in "April Fools", he at one point holds Seven's detachable head in a manner reminiscent of Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.

* CompetitionCouponMadness: In "Losing Sam", Three's efforts to rescue Sam the turtle from the plumbing releases several of the monster's belongings, with Seven's being a bronze statue of Johannes Stauss the Elder, which he remarks he sent a lot of box tops for.

* WorldOfChaos: In "Dinner for Breakfast."

* LostVoicePlot: "Gone But Not Four-Gotten" has Four lose his voice, with Six feeling responsible because she wished for her brother to be quiet before he became unable to speak. Mama later assures Six that her wishing isn't the cause of Four's predicament and that she simply strained his vocal cords and will be okay once he's made time to recover.
