6!!''[=PangPond=]'' contains the following tropes:
7* AbductionIsLove: In "[=PangPond=] in Love 2", Mei's crush on [=PangPond=] reaches the point where she tries to haul him away to China to be with her. The boy, unsurprisingly, isn't pleased and would rather stay in Mahasanook Village.
8* AllCGICartoon: Certain iterations of the series are animated in CGI.
9* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: In "Krai-Pond", Cha-Manow the crocodile has nephews who are light blue and red in color.
10* AnimatedAdaptation: Of the [[ComicBook/PangPond original comics]].
11* ArtShift: The various seasons each have different art styles. Some of them are 2D animation while others are CGI.
12* BirthdayEpisode: ''[=PangPond=] the Series 2'' episode 26, "[=PangPond=] Birthday", takes place during you-know-who's birthday.
13* BlindIdiotTranslation: The subtitles for the [=YouTube=] uploads of the episodes are in broken English.
14* BrickJoke: In "Super Mama", [=PangPond=]'s mother throws his dog Big into the washing machine to clean some dirt off of him and then hangs him up to dry (apparently she didn't think giving him a bath would work just as well?). By the end of the episode, he's still hanging on the clothesline.
15* CharlieBrownBaldness: [=PangPond=] has three little strands of hair on his head.
16* ChristmasEpisode: In "Santa Pond", [=PangPond=] gets the chance to deliver presents like Santa.
17* TheFaceOfTheSun: The sun is often depicted with a face.
18* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The twins Leng and Hong wear clothes with the same design on them and have the same hair color, but they are of different genders, so the difference is in the way their clothes are shaped and their hair styles.
19* KidHero: The main character, [=PangPond=], is a little boy.
20* LoveAtFirstSight:
21** In "[=PangPond=] in Love", [=PangPond=] falls in love with a green-haired girl upon seeing her for the first time.
22** The same thing happens to Mei, the Chinese girl who appears in the episode "[=PangPond=] in Love 2". She falls in love with [=PangPond=] himself upon seeing him for the first time.
23* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: In "Krai-Pond", Cha-Manow the crocodile tries to get his dignity back from the humans due to a man harming one of his ancestors. Predictably, the citizens of a flooded Mahasanook Village panic when they see him swimming in the flood waters.
24* NeverTrustATitle: "[=PangPond=] in Love" does indeed have [=PangPond=] fall in love. "[=PangPond=] in Love 2", on the other hand, has the roles reversed - this time, [=PangPond=] is the one who's being admired.
25* ShoutOut: In "Babysitter", [=PangPond=] plays a pretend [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]] duel with [=LhinPing=], his younger sister.
26* SolidClouds: In episode 2 of ''[=PangPond=] the Series 2'', [=PangPond=] plants a beanstalk that grows so big it reaches the sky. He climbs the plant and reaches Heaven, which has a bunch of clouds in it as ground to walk on.
27* StalkerWithACrush: Leng and Hong's Chinese cousin Mei from the episode "[=PangPond=] in Love 2" goes as far as to try to ''kidnap [=PangPond=] and take him back to China with her'', all because she has a massive crush on him.
28* StockForeignName: "[=PangPond=] in Love 2" introduces Leng and Hong's Chinese cousin, who is named Mei.
29* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: At the beginning of the episode "Fairy Tales Deceive Kids", [=PangPond=] fantasizes that he's actually a prince and he's been cursed by a witch into his normal kid form. To revert himself to his Prince Charming form, he has to be kissed by a princess... but then the realization is broken in that doing that could get the princess arrested for potential child abuse. ''Whoops.''
