* OverlyLongGag: The first season finale. The episode was about patience, and they made it to test your patience as much as possible. People talk as slowly as possible, there's Clarence trying to get an old guy to say "Patience" right, and to take it UpToEleven, halfway through, they run the first half of the episode ''backwards'' to "literally undo any damage [this episode] may have caused", with a few segments abridged, and with a few minor changes (including "Punctuation Marks with Punk Mark" not having music in the background). After that the episode turns into one on the topic of "Speed" for about five minutes, but THEN, at the end, a recap of the entire episode (including the recap itself) is played at warp speed during the credits.

* ContentWarnings: All of the episodes begin with a warning stating that the show contains content that is "too controversial and too awesome" for actual children to watch and that letting a child watch the show would make you a bad parent or guardian.

* ShallowParody: "Horse Apples" has next to nothing to do with any actual Southern-based TV show, instead being extremely tired Southern stereotypes (some of which make absolutely no sense, such as George W. Bush only being able to say "Texas").

* MaliciousMisnaming: Chauncey often calls Wordsworth insulting variants of his name, such as "Turdsworth" or "Nerdsworth".

** Two of the "Funny/Not Funny" segments end with the children's voices shouting "Not funny" in response to a depiction of the show's logo.

* YourHeadASplode: The "Celebrate Our Differences" sketch ends with the single Caucasian character (who is also the one character who isn't a racist stereotype) having his head blow up.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:God kills himself in "Space", after losing a battle over the fate of the world.]]

* ChessWithDeath: RockPaperScissors with God over the fate of the Earth.
