* BalloonBelly: Happened several times to Bogus, whenever he ate a lot.lot:
** Bogus gains one after eating all of the food in the vending machine in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E3ADayAtTheOffice A Day at the Office]]".
** Happens to Brattus after eating a DagwoodSandwich in the kitchen in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E4EtTuBrattus Et Tu, Brattus?]]"
** Happens twice to Brattus in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E6BeachBlanketBogus Beach Blanket Bogus]]". The first time when Bogus allows him to eat the sausage link that they acquired from the dog. The second time was when he eats a cake.
** The third act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E12BogusInBogusLand Bogus In Bogus Land]]" had this happen to Bogus again. He hides at the bottom of an ice cream that a girl is about to have, when the girl wants 5 scoops of ice cream. Before the girl can eat the ice cream, however, all 5 scoops suddenly disappear into the cone (thanks to Bogus), which causes the girl to scream and drop the cone. Afterwards, Bogus then lifts up the cone while laying on the ground with an enlarged belly from eating the ice cream.
** The second claymation short shown before the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E1ComputerIntruder Computer Intruder]]" had this happen to Bogus again after eating a container of FoodPills and drinking the vial of water used for the rehydration process. This causes Bogus to become [[WeightTaller massively bloated]], making him look like a big fat blimp.
** Happens ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' times to Bogus in the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E2BabysittingBogus Babysitting Bogus]]". The first time in the first act, where Bogus dreams that he's eating ice cream cones that he's juggling, the second time at the end of the second act where he devours a cheeseburger, and the third time in the third act where he drinks a pitcher of fruit punch to cool off his mouth after inadvertently sucking up a bowlful of chili peppers, though it goes away after that's over.
** This happened twice in the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E5BadLuckBogus Bad Luck Bogus]]", the first time near the end of the first act when Bogus inflates himself like a balloon as a tactic to get rid of the ugly clone who was menacing him, and the second time in the second act, while he was eating a huge DagwoodSandwich, to which swallowing one layer of the sandwich (which was a single slice of cheese) caused Bogus's belly to become briefly bloated.
** A claymation short used near the end of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E6TotallyBogusVideo Totally Bogus Video]]" had Bogus wind up getting inflated like a balloon when trying to plug up a leaky tube with his finger.
** Another episode had Bogus and Brattus gorge themselves on a submarine sandwich after taking care of Ratty and Mole and a group of tough biker rats in the first act, which results in Bogus and Brattus both gaining full, big bellies, due to their overindulgence.
** Bogus gains another one after slurping up a strand of spaghetti that was dangling from Tommy's fork in front of him in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS3E1NightmareOnBogusStreet Nightmare On Bogus Street]]".
** The beginning of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS3E9TheBogusInvasion The Bogus Invasion]]" had Bogus gain another BalloonBelly, though he only gains it after he hiccup-burps after eating some food.

removing Rule Of Funny for zero context, adding Piggy Bank from a derelict ykttw \"Break the Bank\"


* PiggyBank: Third act of "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E7BogusPrivateEye Bogus Private Eye]]". After Bogus has set up a RubeGoldbergContraption to trap a thief that stole Mr. Anybody's watch, the thief ([[spoiler:who later turns out to be Ratty]]) manages to elude the trap by getting Bogus caught in it instead, which leads to the thief being free to smash open Tommy's piggy bank with a hammer so that he can get at the money inside.
