** Boris too seems to have lost a couple of IQ points. He was always prone to BondVillainStupidity, but here he gets a lot more moments where he's an out-and-out [[TheDitz Ditz]]. It gets to the point where one of Natasha's recognized {{Catch-Phrase}}s is "Idiot Boris!"

The moon men Gidney and Cloyd reclaim the chapeau, as it was made for their ruling prince, who's otherwise a clueless goofball like Bullwinkle.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gordon Ramsay, which should come as no aurprise to anyone. Though he's a little toned down compared his regular persona (no swearing, for one), he's still very hard to please, quick to insult, and has an ego a mile wide... but he's also very understanding about others' personal issues like Rocky's stage fright and Boris's problems with his self-esteem. Though in the latter case he may just have been {{Troll}}ing Boris who was hoping to get some creative insults out of him.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Rocky, while still the smarter and more down-to-earth of the titular duo, grabs the IdiotBall far more often than in the original series. He swings between OnlySaneMan and straight-up {{Cloudcuckoolander}} depending on what's [[RuleOfFunny funnier]] at the moment.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Along with PlatonicLifePartners, this is Boris and Natasha's dynamic in this show. In the first episode they are ''not'' happy about being asked to work together, and spend a lot of time arguing over which of them should be in charge, but by the end of the first story arc they have firmly been established as a duo who stick together, even if they still bicker and there's no real romantic overtones.

In the midst of this, the rap section of the song is played, which is essentially telling the heroes how to save the world.

** In the second episode of the "Moosebumps" arc, after having arrived in London, Boris and Natasha disguise themselves as [[Film/MaryPoppins "affable yet free-wheeling chimney-sweep" and "uptight nanny who always carries umbrella."]] They end up having to take care of the son and daughter of a "very busy businessman" and on the kids' insistence spend most of the episode doing things like flying with an umbrella and jumping into magical paintings.
** The same episode sees a monsterized Bullwinkle re-enacts the iconic "Film/KingKong fighting planes on top of a skyscraper" scene, with Rocky taking the role of Ann Darrow, and the Big Ben tower standing in for the skyscraper. The narrator even comments that this reminds him an awful lot of a certain movie.
