Tropes found in "What is That?":

  • Title Drop: As expected at the very beginning of the episode.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Right when the narrator starts ranting, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot have had enough and walk away.

Tropes found in "Mouse Madness":

  • Not So Above It All: Pinky is surprised to find Brain actually invested in a sports game, and right as Brain tries to tell him he's not really that invested, he proceeds to complain about a bad referee call.
  • Running Gag: Pinky asking "Ooooh, what do you got there Brain?"

Tropes found in "Christopher Columbus-ted":

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Expecting a lot of nautical jokes and puns in this sketch, the Warners make use of a Pun Counter. Eventually, they regret their choice of implementing this and try to avoid making any more puns whenever possible.
  • Driving Question: If Christopher Columbus isn't as great as the old history books claim him to be, does he really deserve to have a holiday named after him?
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall:
    Yakko: We're so meta, the shark jumps us!
  • Take That!: The Warners spend all episode fact-checking Christopher Columbus's history and they definitely don't gloss over the atrocities he committed on the indigenous tribes.
