* FamousAncestor: Discussed. When Brandy believes that being a mongrel means she has no chance in the modeling competition, Whiskers reveals that he's descended from a long line of rabbits who did famous and amazing things. One grew the world's largest carrot, another (allegedly) signed the Declaration of Independence alongside America's forefathers. He points out that despite being descended from these great heroes and historical figures, Whiskers is still [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon basically a nobody]] in comparison. He uses this to teach Brandy that [[AnAesop your ancestry shouldn't determine your self-worth]].

These Getting Crap Past The Radar examples need more "radar".


%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: In "Two Heads are Not Better Than One", Brandy, dressed in only a grass skirt together with her traditional pink shirt, is getting the treehouse ready for a party when Whiskers comes back having grown a second head. Upon thinking she 'should be more freaked out' she learns the second head can talk which causes Brandy to go into a WildTake. During this, we see the underside of Brandy's grass skirt (she's wearing panties underneath, but still one wonders how that got past Standards and Practices)!
%% ** In another episode, Mr. Whiskers' brain throws a party and everyone is dancing. Everyone except Ed who appears to be passed out over a piano.
%% ** In "Where Everybody Knows Your Shame", while desperately looking for something useful that can help Brandy with her hair troubles, Whiskers manages to bring back a ''lemur's heart''. Said heart is ''dripping with blood'' when he presents it to Brandy.

* ApesInSpace: "To the Moon Whiskers" features Boris, a Russian chimp formerly from a circus who was sent into space until his capsule crashed down in the jungle. He butts heads with Brandy because she wants to push the emergency rescue button inside his capsule to get home, but Boris doesn't want to be found and sent back into space. [[spoiler: In the end, the whole conflict turns out to be AllForNothing because the scientist who built the rocket made the rescue button just a box containing a peanut, [[YankTheDogsChain in case Boris needed rescue]].]]
