- Every Episode Ending: "This is the song that doesn't end...yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because" (repeat!) Shari: Oh no!, That's enough guys!, How will I turn you off?!, Okay okay I get the joke, I can't believe you guys! Oh ho ho! Okay I've had it That's It! That's It! What are you doing?! What?! What is this?! Hey! No no this is no no! This is the last time, right? This is it! This is it! This is it! Okay, if you guys are gonna keep this up, I want you to go far far away. Go! Go! Go! No! no! no! Keep on going! Charle Horse: This is the song that-- Shari: Charlie Horse?! No! no! Stop! Stop! Stop! Charlie Stop! I want you to go away. Go Away. And don't SLAM THE-- door.
- Friendly Tickle Torture: One song on Lamb Chop's Play-Along is about how, while you can't tickle yourself (which is true), it is very possible for others to tickle you, as is demonstrated.
- Knock-Knock Joke: Regularly featured as a segment, and honored with a song to boot.

- Made Myself Sad: Hush Puppy.
- Playground Song: "This Is The Song That Doesn't End".
- Punny Name / Theme Naming: Food, in this case. Lamb Chop is, of course, named after lamb chops, and Hush Puppy is named after a cornmeal-and-catfish snack made to keep dogs happy and quiet. However, Charlie Horse is the odd man out--a "charley horse" is a slang term for a pulled muscle.
- Shaggy Dog Story: During the song "It's Not Fair!", Shari buys a bag of jellybeans for Lamb Chop and Charlie Horse, divides the jellybeans so the two of them get the exact same number, then (at Lamb Chop's request) makes sure they also have the same number of red jellybeans. Near the end of the song, Lamb Chop and Charlie admit to Shari that they don't even like eating jellybeans.
- What Do You Mean Its Phlebotinum: In one episode, the alien Zarc needs "zappelmeis"* to fuel his rocketship and get back home to Yzarc. As it turns out, "zappelmeis" is apple juice.
