* [[Eat the Dog]]: It's a running gag. First, Mimi wants to eat Charlotte's cat, but [[Squick|he settles for the cat food instead]]. Then he kills a pigeon with an arrow and gives it to a homeless man to eat. Finally, he steals the Kempsters' exotic fish and roasts them over a campfire in the backyard. |

* [[The Family for the Whole Family]]: Subverted, then played straight. Jovanovic and his goons are more than sufficiently menacing (nearly slicing off Richard Kempster's fingers), but then they are humiliatingly trounced by Mimi-Siku and [[Let's Get Dangerous|the surprisingly competent Kempster family]]. |

* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Played with, but ultimately repudiated. Mimi-Siku ''is'' quite adept at tribal customs, but that is only because he has been explicitly raised as an native, and among native children. At one point the chief assigns him a task in order to "become a man," but due to Michael's refusal to cooperate it at first doesn't look as if Mimi will succeed. Michael himself is noticeably squeamish around the various jungle animals and Mimi's pets - as are other Anglo-American characters when Mimi is brought to New York. |
