* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Seven of the nine lives of ''Fraidy Cat'' have costumes that apply to this trope: #2 Kitty Wizard; #3 Captain Kitt, a pirate; #4 Sir Walter Cat, a noble cat; #5 Billy the Kit, a cowboy; #6 Jasper Catdaver, an undertaker; #7 Captain Eddie Cattenbakker, a pilot; #8 Hep Cat, a cat in a zoot suit. The only one who doesn’t is #1, Tinker Elephunt Cat, a caveman who isn’t dressed enough to count.

* TalkingAnimal: Fraidy Cat, Packy the woolly mammoth and the entire cast of "M-U-S-H".

* ArmedFarces: "M-U-S-H"

Creator/CharlesNelsonReilly, already a fixture on the Creator/{{CBS}} version of ''Series/MatchGame'', was the crocodile-suited star of this three-month Creator/{{Filmation}} series on Creator/{{ABC}}, a parody of the AnimatedAnthology programs with live presenters that were in nearly every major TV market in the 1950s and 1960s. Reilly's co-stars were Alfie Wise as Uncle Croc's sidekick, Rabbit Ears, and [[Series/LostInSpace Jonathan Harris]] as [[PrimaDonnaDirector the director, Basil Bitterbottom]]. Due to competition with ''Series/{{Shazam}}'', also a Filmation production, the show was such a flop that ABC told Filmation to never sell them another show. Ironically, after ABC canceled ''Uncle Croc's Block'', they replaced it with reruns of Filmation's 1970 show ''[[WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies The Groovie Goolies]]''.

* "Fraidy Cat", about a nervous alley cat visited by the ghosts of his eight previous lives;

* DepravedKidsShowHost: Uncle Croc on-camera is an overly exuberant [[LargeHam ham]] while off-camera he's an egotistical [[ThePrimaDonna prima donna]] eagerly awaiting the first opportunity to leave the show and become [[SmallNameBigEgo the big star he believes he really is.]]
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Fraidy Cat shorts were mistakenly believed to be public domain, and have appeared on a lot of public domain compilation dvds. This is because Filmation forgot to put the copyright on them, including the Wacky and Packy shorts.
