* ThreatenAllToFindOne: In one episode, the Ghostbusters are accidentally signed up for a game show run by a literal demon named [[LouisCypher Dib Devlin]]. Naturally, their souls, and lives, are on the line. During one round, Dib puts the Ghostbusters on a roulette wheel and tells them that he knows one of them has a secret, and that he's willing to bet that the person who has that secret is so ashamed of it that he'd let his friends die and take it to his grave, but that the wheel will stop ''if'' the person with the secret confesses. Each Ghostbuster confesses something, which Dib says is ''not'' the secret, until...

Morganan is embarrassed by the request, and tries to talk Cubby into quite a few other ideas, but Cubby is firm. He wants rid of the chickens. Morganan offers to give him power to make things appear, and disappear at will. Morganan ends up enlisting the help of the Ghostbusters after word of the deal spreads through the underworld and ruins Morganan's reputation.

* MerchandiseDriven: Despite being a 1980s cartoon series, and despite the fact Creator/{{Kenner}} had a MASSIVE line of toys to tie in with the cartoon... not really. Early series toys were based mostly on the initial test pilot with some changes to match the final product, leading to oddities like a fat Ray and "Green Ghost" being evil instead of a toy of Slimer, as well as the only toy of Stay-Puft being a measly 6" tall. Very few toys made their way into the cartoon and not many toys based directly on the cartoon were produced. Furthermore, the toys relied on a lot of oddball gimmicks which the show never bothered with. The Ecto-2(a small helicopter) did show up a few times, although the animated version sat two people instead of one. Janine received a few toys though only one had a proper animation model face. Louis Tully got a few figures after ''Film/GhostbustersII'' and his introduction into the series. Slimer did not get a proper toy until later on when he was released with his own proton pack, and roughly twice the size he should've been to be to scale. Poor Samhain didn't get a toy until ''Extreme Ghostbusters'' (in which he never appeared) came around (and he was off-model).
