Tropes found in Puppies and Guppies:
- Big "WHAT?!": Laura says this when she and Larry discover that they only made a dollar working at Pa's store for a week, after failing to care for Pa's guppies.
- Everything's Better with Sparkles: Laura notices that one of the guppies is sparkly near the end of the episode.
- Noodle Incident: This exchange:Bob: Larry, remember the last pet I got you?Larry: [sadly] Yeah, poor thing. I'll never forget the day I flushed him down the toilet.

Tropes found in Sorry, We're Closed Today:
- Ate It All: Larry and Jerry eat half of the food in Pa's store, right after Bob tries to assure the others that there's enough food to last them several months.
- Battering Ram: Jimmy and Jerry both use Larry as a battering ram in an attempt to break out of Pa's store, but it does not work as it only results in Larry getting flung all around the room instead.
- Flashback: We learn in a flashback that the reason Larry does not like to play with Jimmy and Jerry is because they never cooperate, as well as the fact that Larry and Jerry got into an argument about who gets to be Plantasaurus.

- Gasp!: Larry as Plantasaurus actually says "Gasp!" out loud, instead of just gasping, when he sees Bob as Ultra-Veggie show up. Most of the other veggies also do this later on, after they all discover that they've been locked in Pa's store by accident.
- Human Ladder: Or rather, a Veggie Ladder, which Bob, Larry, and the others do in order to escape from Pa's store.

- Noodle Incident: We learn, via a Flashback, that Larry and Jerry got into an argument over who gets to be Plantasaurus, which is the reason why Larry doesn't like to play with Jimmy and Jerry.
