* SuddenEyeColor: While most of the stock art and animation of Chuck E. and his friends do not give them eye colors, they receive such for their animatronics and 2012 redesign. Chuck E.'s and Helen's eyes became blue, Munch and Jasper's became green, and Pasqually's became brown. Chuck E.'s eyes were changed to green in 2012 while Jasper's were changed to brown.

** Originally Chuck E. had a stereotypical and snarky tone, which became higher and more friendly-sounding when Duncan Brannan stepped in, to give him the ''Barney''-esque tone known by everyone. Jaret Reddick gives him a more teenaged voice with a husky tone, and completely drops the "New Jersey" accent he had for years.

** Munch originally had a scratchy monster voice, but got a more smooth-talking voice in 1990. Then when Chris Hill took over, Munchy regained the scratchy voice and sounded more Hulk-like.

* TheDentistEpisode: The "[[Music/TearsForFears Shout]]" cover from January 2009 features a video of Chuck E. going to the dentist.

* TheArtifact: Starting with CU they introduced a winking head of Chuck E. on the center stage valance. It orginally had its own music as a cue into intermission but by 1994 the music has all but been dropped (despite briefly coming back in 2011, and in 2017 for a remake of 1989's "Together We've Got It"). The Wink is still programmed in however making it more random than a cue into intermission. Interestingly, The Wink is somewhat acknowledged in the 2017 remake of "Together We've Got It", where, in the 3-stage version, all the band members look up at it after the song.

** Similar to Pizzacam is Munch Jr, who was created to replace Choo-Choo. If you’re curious, he isn’t actually related to Munch- he’s just from the same planet as him. Due to rampant vandalism, you’ll rarely find a location that still has him.

* GunsAkimbo: ICE's ''Johnny Nero Action Hero''; while it's considered to be a copy of Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'' game series, one player uses both guns for "Guns of Fury" mode to blast aliens, mummies, or wild west zombies/ghosts.

* FunWithSubtiles: "El Rey Guitarrista" is almost entirely in Spanish, which is subtitled in English. Likewise, the bits of GratuitousEnglish are subtitled in Spanish.

* TheBigRace: Segment 1 of the May 2011 show had Chuck E. and friends have a footrace against one another to see who would win a free pizza, set to "[[Music/AFlockOfSeagulls I Ran (So Far Away)]]". Munch ends up winning, with Pasqually in second, and Chuck E., Jasper, and Helen tying for third.

** From mid-1995 to early 1996, Chuck E. suddenly gets a deeper, more manly-sounding voice without his signature New Jersey accent when singing,

* LazyBum: In the April 2002 show, Pasqually prefers to be lazy and not do anything, which leads into the song "[[OdeToApathy I Don't Wanna Work]]" where he sings about his apathy and Chuck E. and the others provide the aesop that he always has to be in action no matter what.

** "Where is Chuck E.?" from the Just for Kids Show starts in F major, modulates up to G&#9837 for Munch's part, then to G for Pasqually's part to the end.

-->''My watch has stopped now more turning hands/Little green neon haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaands!''

* TheTwelveSpoofsOfChristmas: In the "Chuck E.'s Holiday Party" showtape, Chuck E. and the gang sing their version of the song which is about them wanting various gifts, starting with "A trip to Chuck E. Cheese's" and consisting of normal gifts like "Two tokens" and "Six little green army guys", as well as some licensed products such as "Three Franchise/Barbie dolls", "Four Franchise/HotWheels", and "Five [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Batmobiles]]". On the final day, Chuck E. gives an increasingly long request for internet access.

-->'''Chuck E.:''' ''Twelve months of internet access with free unlimited email and a complimentary 56k x2 modem that is only slightly used and has been reconditioned...''

* FurryConfusion: Despite the existence of anthropomorphic dogs (Jasper) and cats (Crusty), Chuck E. owned a non-sentient dog (Pepperoni) in the Avenger era, and a non-sentient cat (Copernicus) in the Rockstar era.

* MotorMouth: Jasper's performance of "[[Music/JohnnyCash I've Been Everywhere]]" for the April 2007 show has long, wordy lists of the [[ListingCities cities he has been to]], true to the original. When Chuck E. attempts a verse, he couldn't keep up with it and screws up.

* TruckDriversGearChange:
** The song "Possibilities" starts in G major, then modulates down to F major beginning with Chuck E.'s verse onward.
** Jasper's song "That's a Deal" starts in G major then modulates up to A♭ toward the end.
** The original version of "Every Boy, Every Girl" starts in B♭ major, shifts to B major at the third verse, then to C major for the fourth verse. The 2007 version adds a shift to D♭ major for the final verse and chorus. For the 2017 remake, it starts in D♭, shifts to D major for Jasper's part, to E♭ for Helen and Munch's part, and last to E major for the final verse and chorus.
** In all versions of the song "Chuck E.'s Place", each verse begins in G major, then shifts to B♭, back to G major for the pre-choruses, then to A major for the choruses.

* TruckDriversGearChange: Lampshaded during Helen's performance of "[[Creator/IreneCara Fame]]" for the January 2007 showtape when Munch notices the song modulates up one whole step before the final chorus.
-->'''Munch:''' Hey, who put this key change in here? I don't remember that!

* IncrediblyLongNote: Chuck E. manages to sustain a ''super'' long note during the band's cover of "[[Music/{{Squeeze}} Hourglass]]".

* GunsAkimbo: ICE's ''Johnny Nero Action Hero''; while it's considered to be a copy of Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'' game series, one player use both guns for "Guns of Fury" mode to blast aliens, mummies, or wild west zombies/ghosts.
