* FridgeBrilliance: Why was Little Robot speaking perfect English in ''Made in Japan II'' when she only spoke Japanese in ''Made in Japan''? Given that Squishington had to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakingTheFourthWall read the subtitles]] in order to understand her, she probably learned English from him so they could communicate better when they wrote to each other. Also probably did her a world of good since she and her sister remained in America after ''II''.

* FridgeHorror: The "Comfort Schmumfort" song involves Molly being fed up with being the one everyone goes to lean on when they need medical attention or cheering up and wanting to have some free time for a change. Everyone else makes no effort to treat/cheer up themselves, and eventually Molly feels so bad for them that she treats the injured ones and cheers up the sad ones. This implies two things: one, that Molly will never have any free time, and two, that the others don't know how to treat or cheer up themselves, which has bad implications if Molly were to die or disappear or whatever.

* EarWorm:
** The show's theme song, as is the case with a lot of 1990's cartoons, is catchy and liable to get stuck in your head.
** Many of the Karaoke Cafe songs are quite catchy, the prime contenders being "Picking Up The Pieces When Your Whole World Falls Apart" and "Everybody Bump" (a slight reworking of the show's theme song).
** The song Mr. Bumpy sings to summon bottled water in "Water Way to Go".

Not YMMV.


* DespairEventHorizon: While it’s more PlayedForLaughs, Mr. Bumpy comes pretty close to this in “Hocus Dopus”, after trying (and failing) numerous times to pull a rabbit out of a hat to cheer up a sick Squishington. Bumpy thinks Squishy will never forgive him (despite Squishy saying to his face numerous times that he does), and starts to head towards the Closet Monster’s lair, fully intending to ''[[DrivenToSuicide feed himself to it]]''. Thankfully, Squishington was able to sneak a bunny slipper into the hat and convince Mr. Bumpy to try one more time before he did anything drastic.
