* NonGameplayElimination: Several of the toon contestants have quit the show in the middle of a game of various reasons. The Canadian version ins notable in that one of these is [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Harold]].

* {{Gainaxing}}: Chudd's female dinosaur disguise in "Dinosaur". Oddly, in the UK the NonMammalMammaries only bounced when he jumped, which was about twice, but in the Canadian version, they bounced with every movement he made.

* CelebrityParadox: In the Canadian version, Chudd occasionally asks questions regarding ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' in round 1...while characters from said show also appear during the show itself.

* ManOfAThousandVoices: All the voices in the UK version are done by just two guys (specifically, [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0533914/ Lewis Macleod]] and [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0214661/ Rupert Degas]]), often resulting in TalkingToYourself.

** In the North American version, [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Mike]] replaces a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde inspired character because they both have multiple personalities.

* ForegoneConclusion: None of the toon contestants ever win for obvious reasons.

''Skatoony'' is an British children's animation/live-action hybrid GameShow in which [[RogerRabbitEffect real child contestants compete against]] [[{{Toon}} animated characters]]. The brainchild of James Fox and Brian Boyle, it was originally developed in 2001 as a competition microsite on Creator/CartoonNetwork UK's website (in co-production with [=FremantleMedia=] Animation), but became its own series in 2006 that ran for 3 seasons of 39 episodes.

* FunnyAfro: The Earl sports one.
