** The coconuts hanging from the palmtree in ''The Jungle'' are colored [[StockObjectColors brown]], when they should be either green or yellow. The in-game encyclopedia also states coconuts have fuzzy outer coverings, even though in real life coconut husks are smooth on the outside.

** The crow in ''The Farm'' has an orange beak like a blackbird. Real crows have black beaks.

''BuzzyTheKnowledgeBug'' is a series of children's computer games made by HumongousEntertainment. Each game played out like a visual encyclopedia, where you would be going through the farm, the airport, or the jungle (depending on the game). You would be able to trigger the many [[PopUpVideoGames click points]] to see all the random inanimate objects come to life, as well as use the "What is this?" command to click on anything in the scenery and be taken to its definition in the index. Each game also included five mini-games, three which were always a coloring book, an "I Spy" styled Find It game, and Trivia. Two of them, on the other hand, changed from game to game. One of them was a puzzle game (Hangman in ''The Farm'', "What is It?" in ''The Airport'', and an unscramble-the-word game in ''The Jungle''), but the other was an arcade-styled game.

The series didn't last very long before falling to the wayside, mostly because they didn't quite live up to the popularity of Humongous' other games. Indeed, they are not as well remembered as the point-and-click AdventureGames or the BackyardSports. That said, they still have their own following in the Humongous fanbase.

!!Tropes in the ''BuzzyTheKnowledgeBug'' games:

** Former developer Richard Moe later admitted he did this because he was tired of working on the game when he made Level 99 and just wanted to get it shipped, so he decided to be a sadist and make it UnwinnableByDesign.

* MisplacedWildlife: It's bizarre that an educational game series would exhibit this trope, but nonetheless in ''The Jungle'', some wildlife is not found in the proper location. For instance, a tarsier is seen in the Amazon when in real life they are only found in Southeast Asia. Likewise an antbird is seen in the African jungle when in actuality they only live in the Amazon.
