** Averted with "Hot Salad Water"; although demonizing the United Kingdom as a resurgent power seeking to regain its old colonial empire and depicting Queen Elizabeth II as [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a wicked conqueror]] could upset British viewers [[note]] similar to what happened with several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' where the titular family visits another country, including "Blame It On Lisa", "Goo Goo Gai Pain" and "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo"[[/note]], it still airs reruns of the UK feed.

* RecursiveAdaptation: This comic was based on an [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans anime-styled show on TV]] that in turn takes its cues from another [[Comicbook/TeenTitans comic book]]. Then the cartoon gets a spin-off called, believe it or not, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' That cartoon would then get a tie-in digital-first comic, officially termed as Volume 2 of the ''Teen Titans Go!'' comic book series.

** Another rival to this show is ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', as both shows use a comic asthetic and are comedies. Like ''PAW Patrol'' above, Cartoon Network will also run ''Teen Titans Go!'' marathons against ''Loud House'' premieres. However, ''The Loud House'' gets better ratings than ''Teen Titans Go!'' and has a more positive reception than this show.

** The show is also this to ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', another popular children's show involving heroes, to the point where Cartoon Network has taken notice of this and scheduled most of the show's major marathons against new episodes of said series. While both shows get similar ratings, ''PAW Patrol'' seems to be more popular, thanks in part to the benefit of the show being MerchandiseDriven, while ''Teen Titans Go!'' barely has any merchandise.

** For a time, CN would use the show as the face of its anti-bullying campaign, because they're both superheroes as well as AdoredByTheNetwork. This is despite the fact that the Titans are downright misanthropic and mean spirited in their show, often using "justice" as an excuse to use excessive force or get what they want without care for the consequences. Surprisingly, the network actually pulled the Titans from the campaign, likely because the network did indeed see that the Titans themselves were bullies. And then brought them back for a short time in 2017.
** Similarly, they annually run marathons for Memorial Day because of the same two reasons as the aformentioned bullying campaign, and usually it's done to promote a new episode as well. The holiday in question celebrates those who died in war, but the earlier seasons of ''Teen Titans Go'' [[TheyKilledKennyAgain frequently killed off characters as a joke]].

** The episode "Serious Business" gets little airtime on Cartoon Network in the United States due to being (unintentionally) aired around the time other stations [[WeInterruptThisProgram broke into news reports about]] [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents shootings and bombings]] (the episode's plot involved a running gag where their bathroom explodes after 5 minutes). After this happened twice, Cartoon Network removed the episode out of regular rotation and it has only aired in marathons (though it occasionally appears in November, since its' sister episode was a Thanksgiving one) ever since, though it did air paired with a ''WesternAnimation/VictorAndValentino'' episode on May 22, 2019. In April 2020, it appeared in a recent "Meanwhile, on Cartoon Network..." promo before returning on August 21, 2020.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Several episodes have referenced pieces of pop culture that would later become outdated within months to years after being broadcast:
** "Friendship" is a spoof of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Brony phenomena,]] dating itself mainly to the early half of the decade, as the fandom started to decrease in size once Creator/TheHub became Creator/DiscoveryFamily.
** "Truth, Justice and What?" was created as a response to the resurgence in popularity of ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' due to [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 the 2012 cartoon]]. Like the above example, this is something that was a mostly a phenomenon in the earlier half of the decade, as newer shows such as ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' eventually took Nickelodeon's attention away from the franchise.[[note]]The franchise isn't completely dead, however, since it got [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles another reboot on Nickelodeon]] not long after.[[/note]]
** "[=BBBDay=]!" had a subplot about [[HappyBirthdayToYou how singing the "Happy Birthday" song will get you into legal trouble]]. Months after that episode aired, "Happy Birthday" was declared to be in the public domain.
** "Teen Titans Roar!" is a spoof of the ''WesternAnimation/ThundercatsRoar'' controversy that occurred in 2018 [[AnimationLeadTime and was dated]] [[ScheduleSlip even when it came out]] since the episode premiered in 2020, when the PeripheryHatedom for ''Thundercats Roar'' was beginning to die off.
** Several episodes reference then-popular dance moves like twerking (which also appears in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'') and flossing (during a musical number in "The Chaff").
