** Raphael is either a comic relief character, much like Michelangelo, or retains his HairTriggerTemper that many other his other incarnations have.

** The Turtles' fondness for pizza ranges from simply being their favorite food, to an unhealthy obsession, adding all sorts of bizarre toppings. Michelangelo displays the latter behavior most often.

*** His intelligence can vary a lot too. He can be portrayed as a brilliant but eccentric man, a once-great scientist who has now gone senile, or a second-rate scientist who was never capable of inventing anything truly useful.

** The levels of acceptance with nudity in 31st century vary a lot. Some jokes suggest that future society has overcome its discomfort with bare bodies, and people are free to be naked with little interest generated. Other times, characters find nudity embarrassing or awkward much like someone in the present day would.

** Dr. Zoidberg's medical competence also varies a lot from episode to episode. Sometimes he lacks even the most basic of knowledge about human biology, but other times he is capable of performing complex surgeries with a little bit of guidance.

** Toki is the member who most often displays any kind of moral compass, but how seriously said moral compass should be taken can change quite a bit. Sometimes, he comes off as genuine (if only in a DumbIsGood kind of way), but other times, he's just as bad as his bandmates. "Dethgov" splits the difference a bit by depicting a Toki who claims to be involved in Nathan's new government to help people, but the moment he gets into his office, he spends the whole day ordering around and verbally abusing his assistants and even gets a boner out of it--suggesting that while Toki may have a sense of right and wrong, he's no less self-centered and immature than his fellows.

** The general stupidity of Dethklok can shoot up and down depending on the needs of the scene and the joke. Most of the time, they're in the typical IdiotHero or {{Manchild}} range, but they regularly dip into the point where you wonder how they can chew their own food. Meanwhile, when one of them needs to act as a StraightMan, his intelligence will shoot up to borderline-average levels, and there are occasional times where they grab the SmartBall and become downright intelligent or even genius (one episode has them demonstrate savant-like skills at contract negotiation). Additionally, some episodes play them as BrilliantButLazy due to the learned helplessness of their lifestyle, while others just treat them as naturally dumb.

** The Penguins's (and to a lesser degree, the rest of the animals minus [[IdiotHero the Lemurs]]) understanding of the human world can go from being as savy of their behavior as they are of the behavior from their fellow animals, to being EntertaininglyWrong most of the time and confusing relatively small or unimportant information, believing to be more important that it actually is.
** The animals tend to interchange between using money among their fellow animals to just changing services for food, related to that, one later episode reveals that for wild animals (particulary squirels), nuts is their currency, while "The Lost Treasure of the Golden Squirrel" involves the squirels having a treasure of gold.
*** The Penguins can go from [[ProtagonistCentredMorality stealing from humans constantly without remorse]] to refusing to take something that's isn't theirs without paying.
** Marlene has being established as going feral every time she goes outside of the zoo out of being born in captivity, except of course, in all the times that's not important to the plot of that particular episode, and she can go outside just fine. One of the final episodes reveals she no longer goes feral.
