Poor Communication Kills | |
| Kratts' Creatures / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Played for laughs. Chris and Martin are in Canada investigating beavers and agree to “meet back at the lodge”, then start snorkeling. Cut to Martin shivering inside the beaver lodge they built earlier in the episode and wondering where Chris is. Cut to Chris kicking back in front of a fire in a hunting lodge-styled inn and wondering where Martin got to. | |

Stock Footage: Most of the cutout animated cutaway shots, not to mention the more exotic animal footage in general. This is a PBS show, after all. | |

Wham Line: The Tasmanian Tiger episode has one for viewers that don't know Australian history. Alison finds the journals she was using of Kratt Australian explorers ended mid-sentence. After searching through the Kratts books, she finds another journal...which makes her go Oh, Crap!. She types something into the computer and announces the Tasmanian Tiger went extinct one hundred years ago. Cue Mass "Oh, Crap!" from Ttark and the Kratt brothers. | |

Amusing Injuries | |
| Kratts' Creatures / int_78c895c8 | comment |
Amusing Injuries: Usually happens to the brothers. The most notable episode to involve this trope is "The Great Defenders". Martin gets stung by bees, skunked, bitten by an alligator snapping turtle, and hit by a porcupine. Then Alison and Chris walk into poison ivy, are stung by bees and skunked in turn. And then there was the one where Allison is trying to fix her computer system, gets it working, and bangs her head on the underside of the desk. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| Kratts' Creatures / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: The boys spend the cheetah episode trying to reach the sprint speed of a cheetah. Martin manages to get to about 40 mph riding a bicycle downhill before crashing in a thicket, but they decide they can't do it with person power so Chris outfits an off-road vehicle. They get up to 70 mph (Maximum Cheetah Velocity!) on a dirt road... and then run out of gas and are stuck pushing their 4x4 back home. Oh, and Chris messed up the alignment when he was working on it, too. | |

Voice with an Internet Connection | |
| Kratts' Creatures / int_8e81e57f | comment |
Voice with an Internet Connection: Basically the purpose of Allison, except she had an Omniscient Database rather than the Internet. And she could somehow follow the brothers' adventures on a monitor even though they were explicitly not being followed by a camera crew in-universe. And the footage was edited in spite of it supposedly being live. | |

Shout-Out: Some episode titles are these to movie titles, for example, "Around Australia in Eight Days" and "Around Africa in Eighty Hours". At one point, in "Weird Creatures", Chris imitates Scotty from Star Trek. | |

Pantomime Animal: Both parodied and deconstructed in "Wild Ponies!". The brothers dress up as a zebra stallion in order to go and meet the horses, but it gets worse when a real one neighs at them ferociously making them run away and destroy their horse costume. | |

Running Gag: One of the Kratts, Allison or Ttark would often say "Wait a minute" or "Hold on" whenever something comes to inspiration or goes too far. | |
