"Scout's Dishonor": While Andy is scouting with the Badger Scouts, he and Rodney meet their rivals, Kyle Finkster and his parrot, Salty Mike.
"Andy Had a Little Squirrel": Andy attempts to teach Rodney tricks, following with Rodney making unsuccessful attempts at doing so.
"Scout's Dishonor" contains examples of:
- Adults Are Useless: Ranger Stu takes no action against Kyle bullying Andy. (See Misplaced Retribution below.)
- Big Bad Duumvirate: We are introduced to the duo of bullies, Kyle and Salty Mike, in this episode.
- Big "NO!": This is Andy's reaction to Ranger Stu telling him that he will be sent to "The Pit".
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Kyle and Salty Mike are not seen together until the end. In later episodes they're always together.
- Establishing Character Moment: The Bully Kyle is given one when he abruptly and unrepentantly grabs a poor kid and places him on the plane he arrived from.
- Misplaced Retribution: Andy is wrongfully accused by Ranger Stu of harassing Kyle when clearly it's the other way around.Kyle: Alright, listen up! After I've looked around, I'll decide your camp stinks. (to Andy) And you're the worst!
Andy: Me? What did I do?!
Kyle: (mocking) "Me? What did I do?!" If you have to ask, then you already know. And if you already know, then why did you ask?
Ranger Stu: Andy, stop intimidating Kyle. Kyle, get to work. - Mood Whiplash: Towards the end, Andy and Rodney are relieved to be back home and never have to deal with the Gang of Bullies Kyle and Salty Mike, only to be thrown balls at by the duo and be reminded that they are now their neighbors.
- Mustache Vandalism: Kyle doodles a mustache on Oscar's face on the TV screen.
- Pet the Dog: Kyle acts pretty nice to Andy when the two get lost, though only because Kyle needed someone to protect him.
"Andy Had a Little Squirrel" contains examples of:
- Ambiguously Bi: The fact that Rodney affectionately kisses Mr. J on the lips at the end leaves his sexuality up for interpretation. However, this would have to make him bi since he develops a crush on a female squirrel named Darlene later on in the series.
- Big Eater: Mr. J seems to be the most dedicated of the cheese log eaters. Too bad he didn't win.
- Department of Redundancy Department: Cheesy cheese logs.
- Eating Contest: A cheesy cheese log eating contest is held at the fair annually.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Oscar's extremely overprotective parents allow him to wander around the fair alone, hence how he attempts to develop a friendship with Rodney. This is especially weird because they wouldn't let him go to the Boy Scout's camp in the previous episode.
- Idiot Hero: Rodney is no doubt The Ditz, but he—although unintentionally—saves Mr. J from choking on a cheese log by crashing into his belly.
- Pun:Andy: I don't get why they call this a fair; they should call it an awesome!
- Skewed Priorities: Mr. J is still upset about never having won the cheesy cheese log Eating Contest despite how Rodney saved his life from choking on a cheese log. Sure, Mr. J's relationship with Rodney is... well, you know, but Bob should be thankful considering how he would have died had Rodney not done such a heroic act. Downplayed, as Mr. J thanks Rodney, albeit in a reluctant and muttered tone of voice.Mr. J: I learned one thing: Don't take Rodney if you want to win the annual cheese log eating contest.
Mrs. J: He saved your life, dear. You should thank him.
