* KingKongCopy: In the episode "The Lost World", Henry's Cat imagines himself as a Franchise/{{Tarzan}}-esque NatureHero defending the eponymous LostWorld's denizens, the largest and fiercest of which is a gigantic blue gorilla that the narrator calls "King Kongo" (though when the name appears on screen, it's spelled as "King Konga" instead). [[DastardlyWhiplash Rum Baa Baa]] plays a Carl Denham-esque role in the episode, trying to capture King Kongo to exhibit him in a theatre. In the climax of the episode, King Kongo [[KingKongClimb climbs a giant inflatable skyscraper]] while Rum Baa Baa fights him in a plane.

* AnimationBump: The final {{Uncancelled}} season uses cel animation. While it still emulates the original marker style authentically, it leads to slightly more detailed animation. The backgrounds also tend to be more fully realised instead of the usual blank white backdrops (and sometimes even with ArtShift gags like photographs).
