** In one of the karaoke segments, they even appear together in a yin-yang.

* CulturalCrossReference: Inverted. The episodes "Made in Japan" and "Made in Japan II" feature a cute toy robot shipped from Japan, who speaks Japanese and doubles in size not unlike a Transformer.

** Goes into NoFourthWall territory in "Night of the Loving Bread," when Bumpy finds out the show's started after hearing the title card's music cue.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: The silverfish, who has no jewish characteristics besides a heavy yiddish accent. Later, it becomes not-so-ambiguous as he gets the only Hanukkah-themed song in the Christmas special, where he sings about his turbo-powered dreidel.

* CallBack: Oh so many. Every character in the first season gets at least one re-appearence in season 2. The cast of the entire run of the show appears as audience members in the karaoke segments. Also, every character gets a small part in the Christmas special as part of Molly's Christmas pageant. Possibly this was as a result of the need to re-use puppets for budget reasons.

* MrViceGuy: Bumpy is ruled by greed. Greed over what? That changes from episode to episode.

** There was also a particular love of Alice Cooper's "School's Cut" song. It was used in two episodes and a Karaoke segment.

!!''BumpInTheNight'' provides examples of:

* ThinkOfTheCensors: In "Adventures in Microbia," when Squishington gets kissed by the Microbe Princess, Bumpy [[SceneryCensor blocks them from the viewers' eyes]] and says, "Hey, you can't do that on TV."

* ChristmasEpisode: An hour-long Christmas special entitled Twas the Night Before Bumpy was made at the end of the series' run.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "I Got Needs", after encountering a trio of rhyming vikings, Squishington asks them if they "knew the one about the man from Nantucket". There were also some occasions where Mr. Bumpy would use the word "bump" as an expletive.

* LivingToys

* TakeThat: In one episode, Squishington loses his face. While drawing a new face as a temporary replacement, Mr. Bumpy says to him that if he makes one small mistake, he'll look like Ross Perot. Incidentally, the replacement face drawn is a simple smiley face. Let that sink in.

* ShoutOut: The episode "Night of the Living Bread", whose title is a ShoutOut to ''NightOfTheLivingDead''. At the end of the episode, they list a number of sequels, all of which are bread-based puns on other horror film titles. There were also many other nods in the series, mainly to politicians and movies.

* FountainOfYouth: not good for a [[ChildHater baby hater]].

* LoadsandLoadsofCharacters: Aside from the main cast of Mr. Bumpy, Squishington, and Molly Coddle, there's also Destructo, the Closet Monster, the Cute Dolls, Germ Girl, aliens Sleemoth and Gloog, Little Robot, Phil Silverfish, Odiferous J. Stench, etc.

* BigBadEnsemble: Destructo and the Closet Monster are both threats to Mr. Bumpy and his friends, but they seldom work together and have different methods - Destructo only harms those that break the rules and the Closet Monster is just a mindless beast.

* PaperThinDisguise: Mr. Bumpy has used a few of these before. He once messed with Destructo by disguising himself as Molly Coddle(who Destructo had a crush on at the time). On another occasion, Bumpy tried to avoid being punished for allegedly stealing Molly's feet by disguising himself as Squishington's "Cousin Bela".

* TalkingToHimself: Jim Cummings.
