* LessonsInSophistication: Played straight and subverted in one episode. [[BearyFriendly Butterbear]] and [[BigBad Croc]] [[TheBet have a wager that she can teach his slovenly henchbeast, Brat, to be a proper gentleman for an important party]] and succeeds. The subversion comes when her friends (after getting scolded by Butterbear for their lack of good manners and are forced to learn classy behavior in time for the same party) go find a book on how to be more classy, Croc overhears them and thinks the book is for Butterbear in teaching Brat, and puts the title of a book on classy behavior on a book for "teaching 'bad manners'". Instead of learning how to be proper, they're taught to behave even worse.

* ShoutOut: In the episode "Bumblelion and the Terrified Forest", at one point, Bumblelion and Hoppo are confronted by a swarm of piranhakeets; chirping golden-scaled flying carnivorous fish-birds based on a mashup of parakeets and piranha. A man-eating fish-bird by the same name originally appeared in a 2nd season episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', and the concept would be reused decades later in ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods''.

Once there, [[GenreSavvy they would use their knowledge of the story to help the Wuzzles figure out a solution to their problem]].
