Black Comedy: Groot, upon seeing the tiny alien civilization treating one of his leaves as a bountiful harvest, collects a whole bunch of trees and runs back towards the civilization... and then accidentally steps on them. He then awkwardly puts the rock back over and runs away. Subverted after the closing title card, as it's revealed that they survived.

Ambiguously Human: Or in this case, Ambiguously Plant. The tree in the first episode resembles a bonsai tree but has green colour elastic sap, bringing the question as to what it really is.

The Stinger
 I Am Groot / int_48081842
comment
The Stinger: Episode 2 - the tiny aliens survived the devastation of their tiny city after Groot stepped on it. Episode 5 - the picture Groot had been working on is still intact, it's just floating in space. Episode 3, Season 2 - Groot finally gets to drink his hot chocolate, but he knocks it off the table because it's too hot... and spills it all over Rocket offscreen.

Logo Joke: The Marvel Studios logo sequence has the same style from What If...?, except Baby Groot is fast-forwarding the video to the exact opening logo.

comment
No Animals Were Harmed: Each episode ends with a disclaimer that none of the alien species featured were harmed during the making of the episode, although the disclaimer at the end of "Magnum Opus" says that the same cannot be said for their handlers, which is a Call-Back to the credits in Vol.2.

Took a Level in Badass
 I Am Groot / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Groot in this series of shorts is very creative and resourceful in solving his problems, in sharp contrast to Vol. 2, which depicted him as largely unable to understand anything going on around him. Justified from the second short onward, which take place after Vol. 2.

Interquel: The first episode takes place at some point between the first and second movies; the others are apparently between the end of the second movie and the stingers.

comment
Alien Blood: A variation in that it's a plant instead of an animal. The bonsai tree who takes Groot's place as the pampered plant in "Groot's First Steps" looks like a bonsai tree from Earth, but when Groot breaks it, bright green elastic sap pours out.

Lighter and Softer: No Avengers level threats here! These shorts are more concerned with Baby Groot’s antics as he grows up, rather than the fate of the world/galaxy/universe/multiverse.

Pokémon Speak
 I Am Groot / int_e58e0124
comment
Pokémon Speak: As the title indicates, there is little spoken dialogue from anyone but Groot, and as always, Groot speaks a Starfish Language which sounds to outside observers as if he is just saying the phrase "I am Groot". In his confrontation with the shapeshifter Iwua in "Groot's Pursuit", we can surmise that on one or two occasions "I am Groot" is actually what he is saying, as Iwua is impersonating him.
