* DrugsAreBad: In one episode Mona is pulled through a mirror into a Negaverse. In that universe the normally nice Charley and Lily are bullies. The animators decided to show this by having the Nega Lily replace the flower Lily normally wears in her hair, with a marijuana leaf.

** For not being made in Japan, this show certainly gets away with a lot of Panty Shots.



* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Through Mona's eyes--and also her friends'--there's always supernatural stuff going along. However, many of the episodes can be figured out through the evidence placed in the show. For example, an episode where lots of snakes are seen around town and a woman dressing up as Medusa is based on the warm weather and the fact that the woman is ''playing'' Medusa in a production.

* NoMereWindmill: While all the things Mona believes she's taking on aren't real, on some occasions, they ARE up to no good. For instance, in the episode "Would You Like Fries With That?", Mona believes that the new fast food restaurant that opened up in town, Bin Burgers, is actually a front for an AlienInvasion, and that the "special sauce" for their burgers is special [[MindRape Mind Control]] sauce. None of these assumptions are real, of course. However, it later turns out that Bin Burgers stole the recipe for their special sauce from a rival company that hadn't established itself in town yet.
