Blind Without 'Em: In "Where's Grandfather?", Grandfather loses his glasses, can't tell which Flump is which, wanders into Father's workshop, and falls asleep while leaning against a bench. | |

Signature Instrument: Grandfather often plays the flumpet, an instrument that vaguely resembles a cross between a tuba and a trumpet. | |

Cheesy Moon | |
| The Flumps / int_c6757e31 | comment |
Cheesy Moon: Played with in "Moon Shot." Pootle dreams that he travels to the moon, where he meets a pair of familiar looking aliens who have come to the moon for a picnic. They're having green-cheese sandwiches, they explain, which they had to bring with them because there's no green cheese on the moon. | |

And You Were There | |
| The Flumps / int_c8db76f6 | comment |
And You Were There: In the episode "Moon Shot," Pootle falls asleep while Perkin and Posie are off fetching a picnic, and dreams of traveling to the moon. There he meets a pair of aliens who are having a picnic, and notes that they seem familiar somehow: they have the same character models as his brother and sister, only with alien headgear instead of their usual. | |

Literal-Minded: Pootle, who is prone to getting mixed up, is always taking idioms literally, invariably leading one of the others to say, "Oh, Pootle!" | |
