* ThreateningShark: Magilla runs afoul of a man-eating shark at the local aquarium in "Deep Sea Doodle." He brings the fish back to the pet shop with him in a most painful manner -- by having the shark's jaws clamped onto his shorts.

Added DiffLines:

* SuicideAsComedy: One gag in "Bank Pranks" involves Mr. Peebles trying to kill himself. It just so happened that his revolver was switched with a water pistol.


Added DiffLines:

* UnfortunateItemSwap: In "Bank Pranks", there was a BlackComedy joke where Mr. Peebles was so depressed, he tried to kill himself with his revolver. Fortunately for him, it had somehow been switched with Magilla's water pistol, and squirting himself in the face made him come to his senses. ''Unfortunately'', he wondered why that happened, and when Magilla looked in his toy chest, he found that he had the real gun. (Which naturally went off; he missed, but ''really'' made Peebles mad.)

Added DiffLines:

* VitriolicBestBuds: Magilla obviously likes Mr. Peebles, but while Peebles does get constantly aggravated by his antics, he doesn't necessarily hate Magilla, and does show him bits of respect every once in a while, sometimes letting him and Magilla have bonding experiences.

Added DiffLines:

* DigitalDestruction: The complete series DVD release for this show and its backup segments lacks the opening and ending credits for absolutely no reason. Also, none of the cartoons were restored.

Indentation fix.


* RingAroundTheCollar: Uniquely averted in Magilla's case. While he wears a bowtie, it does not serve to facilitate animation shortcuts as is the case with most Hanna-Barbera characters from this time, as there's no accompanying collar or strap.
** Ironically enough, he's running an accessories shop in ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'', selling the collars and ties to his fellow funny animals.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Magilla's the wacky primate protagonist. In-universe, some characters (like Ogee) think it would be awesome to have a gorilla as a pet--but others, such as Ogee's parents, disagree with that sentiment.

The show ran in syndication up until December 1965 when ABC optioned it for their Saturday morning schedule. When that took place, ''Ricochet Rabbit'' was replaced with ''Breezly Bruin'' from the ''WesternAnimation/PeterPotamus'' show, which similarly originated in syndication in 1964 and got optioned to ABC (airing Sunday mornings). ''Ricochet Rabbit'' migrated to Peter's show.
