10	!!The show includes examples of:
11	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife:
12	** All of the Shark family are in a variety of bright colors that real sharks don't come in: Baby Shark is yellow, Mommy Shark is pink, Daddy Shark is blue, Grandma Shark is orange, and Grandpa Shark is green.
13	** William is a pilot fish, but is bright orange, instead of the standard black-and-white stripes of the real species.
14	** This also extends to the rest of the fish folk. Chucks is purple, Hank is blue, Vola is green, the minnows are blue while their leader Marty is mint green, and Rayna is violet. Shadow is an exception, being a shark's natural blue-grey.
15	* AnimatedAdaptation: Of a sort. The show is adapted from already animated music videos, with a new style compared to those.
16	* {{Animesque}}: The show looks very much like a Korean Chibi show.
17	* ArtisticLicenseMarineBiology: Chucks the seahorse is often depicted as the fastest swimmer of Baby Shark's friends. Real-life seahorses are extremely weak swimmers.
18	* ArtShift: The theme song starts in the traditional lineless Pinkfong art style, before shifting to the show design.
19	* AudienceParticipation: The "Get Your Game On!" special is a game show, and in turn, [[FakeInteractivity encourages viewers to play along]].

23	* ChristmasEpisode: The episode "All I Want For Fishmas" takes place during "Fishmas", the undersea equivalent of Christmas. All of the children in Carnivore Cove want the Burpin’ Bubz, the hottest toy of season. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:this puts a toll on Santa Jaws, nearly shutting down Fishmas for good.]]
24	* ClipShow: The special "Live From the Shark House", combining clips from the first couple episodes and the shorts, including some that weren't fully released at the time.
25	* CompanionCube: In "Slobber Slug", Hank has a rock named "Rocky" for a best friend.
26	* {{Crossover}}:

28	** The actual show had one with ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'' called "The Jaw-some Sharkventure!". In it, the guppies become sharks themselves by singing the Baby Shark song, but replacing their names where the song says "Baby".
29	* {{Cyclops}}: Ernie Urchin only has one eye.
30	* DebutQueue: "All I Want For Fishmas" only introduced the Sharks and William. "Fish Friends Forever" introduced Vola, Walter, Shadow, Bait and Switch, while "Slobber Slug" introduced Chucks and Goldie.

32	** In "All I Want For Fishmas", William wakes up Baby Shark by singing the first part of the classic song.
33	--->'''William:''' ''Baby Shark''...\

35	** Baby Shark also requests the Tooth Fish Fairy to sing the song with him at the end of "Baby Tooth".
36	* DIYDentistry: The episode "Baby Tooth" has Baby Shark's tooth go loose, causing him to be desperate to pull it out when it's not ready. After attempts from William tackling it fail, the two of them tie it to an anchor and throw it in the Water Warps [[spoiler:where it does pull out, but also is dragged through with the anchor]].
37	* DontGoIntoTheWoods: The Kelp Woods in "William vs. Wild". William lies about being a brave fish and that he's friends with the legendary creature Bigfin to avoid being embarrassed, but his fears are eventually put to the test when he is forced to go in with Baby.
38	* ExpressiveAccessory: In "Fish Friends Forever", Baby forms a band with William and Vola with him using Grandpa Fish's electric guitar. The face of the guitar changes its expression based on how Baby is feeling.

46	* TheGadfly: Grandma Shark. In "All I Want For Fishmas", she wraps a sleeping Grandpa Shark up in wrapping paper, and she places a whoopie cushion on his chair in "Baby Tooth". She insists that "pranking is a virtue", as it teaches spontaneity.
47	* {{Gasshole}}: The "Burpin' Bubz" toys in "All I Want For Fishmas" are bubble-shaped objects that belch when they're squeezed.

70	* MultigenerationalHousehold: Baby Shark lives with both his parents and his grandparents.
71	* MusicalWorldHypotheses: The show tends to flip back and forth between Alternate Universe, Diegetic and All In Their Head, depending on the episode. Usually it's the first one which comes out of nowhere, though other times the third would be used in an appropriate montage sequence. The second is used when someone puts on a show or does a performance for someone.

81	* ShoutOut:
82	** Baby Shark replicates Kevin's scream from ''Film/HomeAlone'' in "All I Want For Fishmas" when he learns that [[spoiler:Santa Jaws has gone missing]].
83	** "Baby Tooth" has the Tooth Fish Fairy asking [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk "Why did it have to be sea snakes?"]].
84	** The episode "Slobber Slug" takes a lot from ''Film/TheSandlot'' in terms of plot, featuring a baseball-esque game hampered by a large dog-like creature.
85	** In the short "Time Out", the imaginary William says [[Film/DirtyDancing "Nofishy puts Baby in a corner"]].
86	* SitcomArchNemesis: Shadow is this to Baby Shark.
87	* StockFootage: Background example. The quiz show setup in "Get Your Game On!" was originally used in a web series called "Know Your Nick Jr.", which tasked various Nick Jr. characters to answer questions based on the shows currently on at that time.
88	* SubbingForSanta: Downplayed, in "All I Want For Fishmas", Baby Shark and William are ''helping'' Santa Jaws, rather than fully subbing for him.
89	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The seabird in "All I Want For Fishmas" is unable to give information on [[spoiler:the missing Santa Jaws]], as not being able to breathe underwater means he's unable to waste his time talking.
90	* SynchronizedSwarming: The minnows do this in "Shark-Off" to help Baby take on a challenge against giant shark Mariana.

93	* TrueMeaningOfChristmas: The episode "All I Want For Fishmas" has Baby Shark and William [[spoiler:and later Santa Jaws himself]] learn that it's better to give than to receive during the holidays.
94	* TwoShorts: The show's format. However, it usually airs as QuarterHourShort on original airdates.
95	* VocalDissonance: Goldie, who's supposedly a kid like the rest of Baby's friends, sounds like a grown woman.
96	* WaterIsAir: While the sea creatures do swim, they are mostly seen hovering over the seafloor as if they were walking. They also actually fall into holes when they can just swim right over them.
97	* WingdingEyes: Baby's eyes get stars or hearts in them when amazed over something.
98	* YouMeanXmas: Under the sea it's "Fishmas". Instead of Santa Claus, Santa Jaws is the one to deliver presents, with a sleigh pulled by reindeer-seahorses.
99	* HappyBirthdayToYou: Sung during William's birthday party in "Baby Shark's Big Movie!", although only the last two lines are heard.
