 Black Comedy: Many humans and two aliens in the end die throughout the short, be it by having a spear impale them by accident, getting flattened by meteors, being burnt to a pile of ashes, getting sent into space by Rex's Tail Slap, or in the aliens' case, getting stomped underfoot by an angry Rex who wants nothing more to do with anything civilized. In all cases, it's Played for Laughs.

 Cluster F-Bomb: The movie director in the modern day scene lets out something akin to this when Rex flubs his acting performance, ending it with a loud "OUT!" It's the last straw that causes Rex to finally lose his cool.

 Humans Are Bastards: The humans mistreated the dinosaurs ever since prehistoric times and continue to do so even after the latter save them from being obliterated by a meteor shower. It doesn't earn them any sympathy when they are wiped out by a second meteor shower.

comment
 Ungrateful Bastard: A species-wide example. Rex and company protect the prehistoric humans from a meteor shower at the start of the short. Come the historical and modern eras, however, the humans continue to treat the dinosaurs terribly. It's no wonder Rex decides to let a second meteor shower wipe the humans out towards the end.

 Freeze-Frame Bonus: When the movie director tears up Rex's acting contract in the modern day segment, pausing it at the right time shows that Rex actually signed said contract. The text on the contract also shows that Rex was playing the role of the Tyrannosaurus rex for the movie Mesozoic Park.

 Living Dinosaurs: The point of the short is to show off what would happen if dinosaurs lived to the present with humans constantly annoying them or clinging to them for help. The answer: the dinosaurs eventually get fed up and abandon the humans when an apocalypse occurs.

 Apocalypse How: Planetary level, Species Extinction severity. When a second meteor shower threatens humanity towards the end, Rex simply decides to let nature take its course. Considering that the humans were utter jerks to him and the other dinos despite their help across history, can you blame him?

 This Is Gonna Suck
 Mésozoïque Alternatif (Web Animation) / int_9dfb8296
comment
 This Is Gonna Suck: In the medieval scene, when the trumpet-carrying knight is about to start playing after his party shows up in Rex's treasure room (read: bedroom), the other dinosaurs have expressions that practically scream this. Sure enough, the knights' brazen activities (namely stealing treasure, playing the trumpet loudly, and hitting Rex's back with a sword) lead to him losing his temper and chasing them away.

 Reduced to Dust: After Rex roars at the knights in the medieval segment for disrupting his bedtime, the trumpet-carrying herald waves a torch at him to try and scare him off. Undeterred, Rex simply blows the flame back at him, reducing him to a pile of ash which flees shortly after the other knights do so.

 Tail Slap: In the ancient Egypt segment, two humans squabbling over a hammer cause it to sail straight into a pyramid the dinosaurs were building, resulting in its collapse. A less-than-amused Rex responds by using his tail to slam the guy who threw the hammer with enough force to send him into space.

 Rage Breaking Point: Rex reaches this in the middle-age scene after the knights' thoughtless raiding his treasure chamber becomes too much for him. After the movie director fires Rex in the modern-day segment, the tyrannosaur starts throwing a tantrum, roaring and smashing things on the set (while the director films enthusiastically). Then the meteors arrive again, and Rex decides to do nothing about them this time...

 Terrifying Tyrannosaur: Subverted with Rex, who just wants to live out his days in peace, only turning vicious when the humans and the aliens in the end push his buttons too much. The opening makes him look fierce, but it's a setup for a Bait-and-Switch for how he gets along just fine with the other dinosaurs.
