* BirthdayEpisode: "Barbequor" takes place on Monkey's birthday. Then, the Silver Spooner (a homosexual parody of Marvel's Silver Surfer) introduces the planet Earth to his master Barbequor (parody of Galactus but as an apron-wearing chef) to eat. Monkey tries saving Earth, but the Justice Friends (especially Krunk) [[SkewedPriorities force Monkey to just enjoy his birthday party rather than let him save their home world]], and try to resolve the issue themselves but are all too weak to fight Barbequor. Then it's up to Monkey to go and stop Barbequor.
* CampGay: The Silver Spooner in "Barbequor". He has homosexual romantic feelings for his master Barbequor and is an enthusiastic fan of Judy Garland, a gay icon.

* CruellaToAnimals: Peltra makes clothing out of animals and becomes obsessed with making a suit out of Monkey.

* DungFu: In "Huntor", Monkey disables one of Huntor's guns by throwing poo at it.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Magnamus," the character designs are more anatomically correct and Monkey transforms via a meditation pose, as opposed to simply powering up on commend.

* HeroicSpirit: Even though Monkey can't beat Rasslor, he never gives up, and that convinces Rasslor he has finally found a {{worthy opponent}}.
* HumanHeadOnTheWall: Monkey faces an alien EgomaniacHunter named Huntor who's favorite prey has always been "the mighty Hero!". While most of the trophies on his ship are standard alien monsters, one trophy is the stuffed body of a FlyingBrick hero, and another, whose head is mounted on the wall, is an Expy of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}.

* PunnyName: Peltra, who wears animal pelts.
** Most of his foes have this combined with their names ending in "-or" (Huntor, Rasslor, Barbequor, Organ Grindor...)
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Monkey both in and out of costume is quite the adorable simian.
* SacrificialPlanet: Rasslor, the universe's greatest wrestler goes searching for worthy opponents on inhabited planets. If no one can beat him he destroys the planet.
--> "And so my quest has brought me to this timid little planet you call Earth, so, terrestrial heroes, can one of you quench my thirst for the divine conflict, the supreme struggle? Or will your planet be doomed to the same fate, that has befallen so many."
** The short is a spoof of ''Marvel Two-In-One Annual'' #7, where the Champion of the Universe makes the very same threat to Earth's heroes.

* SpyCatsuit: Agent Honeydew wears a tight, form-fitting uniform.
* TalkingAnimal: Simion from the episode of the same name is a monkey capable of speech. Justified because he's evolved after exposure to cosmic rays.
