* [[Straw Character]]: Ollie, whether it was deliberate or not. In one memorable episode, Ollie gloats about how he can solve the problem of the week by himself, only to wind up making the situation worse as a result of attempting the mission solo. Cue the trio gloating at his expense.

* [[Super Hero Speciation]]: To a ridiculous degree. You know as well as we do that baby ducks are born swimmers, but because Tuck Turtle is already the Designated Swimmer, Ming-Ming is the team's resident... flyer. Because ducklings can fly. Before they know how to swim. Sure.

* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: An aversion, which is where the [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] comes from. Baseball caps are the usual "male" signifier, but Linny is female and has one.

* [[The Load]]: Ollie the Rabbit, who is guaranteed to either screw up the rescue when he comes along and/or require rescuing himself. He's also a [[Jerkass]]. Notably, Ollie tends to attempt things on his own ''before'' he screws things up and/or requires rescuing. One wonders if he was deliberately thrown in to reinforce the show's Aesop.
