* CanadaEh: Given the show is Canadian, a few references to typically Canadian sports have appeared in episodes; one episode had a scene with Doomageddon curling in a library, and an entire episode was based around street hockey! (Both are considered to be typically "Canadian" sports, although hockey isn't ''nearly'' as obscure as curling in the U.S.)

%%* * {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s: Do we ''really'' have to say it?it? This is the premise of the entire show. Voltar's idea of villainy? Hosting an eeeevil barbecue! What's evil about it? [[PokeThePoodle He's not going to invite his neighbours]]! Oh, the horror.



%%* NoRespectGuy: Doktor Frogg.

%%* * NoRespectGuy: Doktor Frogg.Frogg, despite easily being the most intelligent and competent of the League.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Unlike his teammates, Frogg is actually an EvilGenius and you get the impression he'd be a legitimate threat were it not for Voltar leading the group and making the plans.

''League of Super Evil''[[note]]sometimes called '''''The''' League of Super Evil''[[/note]] ([[FunWithAcronyms acronym L.O.S.E.]]) is a Canadian AllCGICartoon created by Creator/NerdCorpsEntertainment. A parody of the {{superhero}} genre, it differentiates itself from the studio's [[WesternAnimation/DragonBooster previous]] [[WesternAnimation/StormHawks works]] by being a straightforward comedy instead of an action-driven series with a lot of humor, using Nerd Corps' distinct style of CGI to pull off zany slapstick gags and other physical animation tropes rarely associated with comedic 3D cartoons. Also unlike Nerd Corps' previous works, it was the brainchild of Peter Ricq and Philippe Ivanusic-Vallee, with Asaph Fipke (creator of Nerd Corps' other shows and founder of the studio) instead only developing their concept for television.
