24	* MythologyGag:
25	** Kong, like in ''WesternAnimation/KongTheAnimatedSeries'', is pitted against an evil cyborg scientist who he fights with the help of his human "bro."
26	** The second episode features a giant anaconda that Kong fights as a possible reference to [[Film/KingKong1976 the 1976 film]].
27	** While in New York City, the protagonists take a moment to gawk at the Empire State Building.
28	---> '''Danny:''' What's that little building down there?\
29	'''Franciska:''' I dunno, some kind of historical monument? I guess it was the biggest skyscraper around, like, a million years ago.
30	* NeverMyFault: Richard blames Kong for the lab accident when he brought it upon himself by using the laser his father warned him never to use. Kong burst into the lab to save his life, but Richard [[UngratefulBastard refuses to thank him]].

36	* UngratefulBastard: In the first episode, Kong saves Richard from the explosion in his father's lab, but instead of thanking him, Richard ''[[NeverMyFault blames]]'' Kong for getting him hurt.
37	* VillainDecay:
38	** Richard spends the first half of Season Two as Lukas and Co.'s whiny and annoying ButtMonkey drag-along in the LostWorld, his position as the BigBad having been usurped by Botila. [[spoiler:He regains his standing in the final two episodes "Rise of Evil" and "Battle Royale"]].
