Line 36:
* [[Making Use of the Twin]]: When Ax morphs Jake so that Jake can be tied up while his Yeerk is starved. Shawn Ashmore's twin Aaron Ashmore appears in the one scene with two Jakes.
** It's also speculated that we're seeing Aaron in all the other scenes of Ax-as-Jake, but information is scarce.
* [[No Budget]]: Painfully obvious in some scenes. [[Call a Rabbit A Smeerp|The slug-like Yeerks were, well, slugs]], [[Off -the -Shelf FX|the Dracon beams were merely repainted flashlights]], and the Andalites were played by [[People in Rubber Suits]].
** It's also painfully obvious that there was only one Hork-Bajir costume, and the Taxxons never appear as they would clearly be impossible on the show's budget.
* [[Oxymoronic Being]]: Erek the Chee, who in the show is is allergic to ''his own hologram crystals''. To put it into perspective, that's like a computer being allergic to its own keyboard.
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: Jake still gets his tiger, but most of the other Animorphs have significantly weaker morphs than in the books. Rachel goes from her grizzly bear and elephant to a lion (stealing [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]] David's battle morph), Marco goes from his gorilla to a wolf, and Cassie loses her own wolf in favor of a horse.
** In Season 2, Erek the Chee gets to keep his durability and strength but loses the ability to project holograms around anyone but himself.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Of a sort. If somebody scratches at their ear in the show, it's a good sign that they're a Controller.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Rachel's dialog in the television adaptation of "The Stranger". After the Ellimist shows the kids what the future of Earth will be like if they continue to fight, Rachel asks a familiar question: [[A Christmas Carol|"What you showed us...is it the definite future or just a possible one"]]?
* [[Stupid Evil]]: The Yeerks always had elements of this, but it went into overdrive in the mercifully-brief second season.
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: In "Not My Problem". Too bad for the Yeerks it's just an [[It's a Wonderful Plot]] episode.
