Once upon a time, there once lived a [[Mad Scientist]] who spent his weary days on a secluded island in the middle of the Pacific. To occupy his time, he creates biological abominations that stood against all notions of sanity and common sense. But sadly, it was only a matter of time until the judicial system caught whiff of the whole situation and arrested him for crimes against nature and "good taste". With their master forever gone from their lives, the mutants, with only limited knowledge of the outside world and their customs, are left to construct a civilization of their own. Of course, this leads to [[Hilarity Ensues|ensuing hilarity.]]

----

** Peri in "Bowled Over": "But when I realized I was narrating, I knew it was time to take a break." He even tries to speak to Entrée in his [[Inner Monologue]] before correcting himself.

** Several of the [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]] address the audience.

** "The Couch Hates Me".

* [[Bring My Brown Pants]]: In the episodes "Cleaning Up" and "The Mutants Who Cried Monster".

* [[Buffy-Speak]]: "Look, a thingy thing thing!"

* [[Dance Party Ending]]: ''Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble''.

* [[Did You Die?]]: A variation is used in the episode ''One Joe Wingus'':

'''Entrée''': So what'cha do? Did you pull'em off? }}

* [[The Ditz|Ditz]]: Calcu-Pony. "Beige!"

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In the episode "Pink", Peri wakes up one day and finds out that he has turned the color pink (instead of his usual orange), and Entrée does not want to be his friend anymore because of this. The metaphor is heightened by the fact that Entrée thinks that being around Peri will turn him pink, and indeed has a nightmare in which this happens.

** The episode "Juice" and "Mo' Mayo Mo' Problems".

* [[Efficient Displacement]]: Several times. How Joe found out who stole his pretzel-maker. [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] when the hole Entree cuts open with a laser sword is shaped just like himself.

* [[Eye Scream]]: In both of the first two episodes, Entrée gets a forieign object in the eye: a wrench in "Bowled Over" and a book in "Stuck Together".

** Also the chair that [[A Clockwork Orange (film)|holds their eyes open]]. Interestingly though, while meant to be a torture device, Peri applies the holders to ''himself'', thinking they're for convenience.

* [[Fantastic Aesop]]: The "Knowing is Growing" shorts, which have included aesops like 'don't put antelopes up your nose', 'gravy isn't a vegetable; it's a fruit', and 'don't adopt samurai as pets'.

* [[Fur Is Clothing]]: In "Bowled Over", Peri pulls back his fur to reveal a tattoo.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Literally in the theme song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37MChWRo4kA listen at 0:09] (It was made in Canada after all).

** Also in the episode ''Two Arms Joe'' after Peri gives Two Legs Joe his arms for the day:

** In "Stupid Means Never Having To Say I'm Sorry", Peri, in a delusional state while being stranded on a marooned island, [[Companion Cube|befriends a tire]] who both do quite a questionable act on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DxQMCyZjNc 6:47]:

** There's also the title of the episode "Living Hellp" (Yes, it was spelt with two l's and everything)

* [[Gross-Out Show]]: It's not really as gross as you'd expect it to be, but there has been some instances where you get to see miles of snot, exposed brains, the sounds of stretched limbs slowly tearing apart, and the occasional inside-out bodies.

* [[Lilliputians]]: The mole-sters.

* [[Makeover Montage]]: Wunny Sharbit gets one.

* [[Medium Blending]]: Happens in several episodes, including "Pork Chop", "Bowled Over", "No Play for Princess", "Two Arms Joe", and "Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble".

* [[Me's a Crowd]]: "Clones Don't Care 'Bout Nothin' Either".

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted.

* [[Non Sequitur Thud]]: Entrée does it in "Amazon".

* [[Noodle Incident]]: In "No Play for Princess", Joe reminds Peri and Entrée about what happened the last time they played Bucket Stick Fruitball. We don't get the specifics, but it apparently involved a flight of planes crashing into a bridge, a car going off a ledge, a giant lizard, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|dancing.]]

* [[Not So Different]]: In the episode "Same Difference" Two Legs Joe and Mister Smarty Smarts develop a friendship over their mutual dislike of Peri and Entrée (though Mister Smarty Smarts downright despises them, while Joe just finds them annoying).

* [[Pinball Gag]]: The episodes "No Play for Princess" and "Same Difference".

* [[Planimal]]: The Swineapple. It's part pig, part pineapple.

* [[Relax-O-Vision]]: Used in the episode "Pork Chop", where Entree goes apeshit on everybody after obtaining Kung-Fu powers.

* [[Short Run in Peru]]: Premiered first in Latin America.

** Australia was the first English speaking country to air all known episodes.

* [[Stock Footage]]: Used repeatedly, mostly in the form of black-and-white, public domain movie footage.

* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]: In one episode, when Peri and Entree are about to fall, Peri reminds Entree he has chicken wings, but Entree objects because chickens live underwater. Then, at the end of the episode:

'''Mr. Smarty Smarts''': But don't chickens live underwater? }}

* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: Mister Smarty Smarts.

* [[Ultimate Authority Mayor]]: Two Legs Joe.

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Done with Peri's purpose in "Stuck Together".

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: In "Bowled Over", Peri makes a sandwich, fixes Patricia's car and does Pony Ape Hands' hair with a ''bowling ball''.

* [[Wheel-O-Feet]]: This shows up quite a bit. In Entrée's case, Wheel o' Udder Teats.
