* BalefulPolymorph: an evil magic kit turns two characters into toasters, who both say "I feel peculiar" upon this happening.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: happens often in-universe, with the TV executives changing their minds about things ''in the middle of filming an episode'' of Mr. Potato Head's ShowWithinAShow, such as telling them that their superhero episode needs to be educational or a musical.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Godfrey Daniels! Not the censors again!"

Somewhat infuriatingly The Movie is just The Last Two Episodes back to back with 20 Minutes of {{Padding}} [[StockFootage that were nothing but little skits]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment taken from other episodes that have nothing whatsoever to do with the plot at hand.]]

[[SarcasmMode The Movie]] is somewhat redeemed by the fact that theres a little Production documentary with in-character commentary at The End

* NeverLiveItDown: [[invoked]] Feeling both guilty and desperate for something to show his audience after his original plan for a reality show spectacularly blows up in his face, Mr. Potato Head films himself doing a dance that embarasses him called the "Fluffy Pookie-Poo" and submits that to his network executives for the show. To his dismay, both the executives and the [=TV=]-watching public love it, and it becomes extremely popular. He swears he'll escape the embarrassment if he has to move to South America to do it...only to find that it's also popular in South America.

* BulletholeDoor: In the superhero episode, Mr. Potato Head's "[[ShowWithinAShow Spudman]]" character uses EyeBeams to create a door to enter the BigBad's lair.
