History WesternAnimation / UncleGrandpa

** In "Uncle Grandpa Sitter", Pizza Steve says that his favorite ice cream flavors are strawberry, chocolate, double chocolate, fudge, chocolate fudge, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick gorgon]][[BizarreTasteInFood zola]].

** An old man yells [[Music/TheRollingStones "Hey, you, get]] [[Disney/{{Hercules}} off of]] [[VideoGame/HotelMario my cloud!"]] to Uncle Grandpa and the others, [[ItMakesSenseInContext who are standing upside-down on a cloud near his house.]]

** In "The Box", the titular box turns out to hold duplicates of Uncle Grandpa, Belly Bag, Mr. Gus and Pizza Steve, who are now infuriated that they spent all that time trying to open the box only to find themselves in it. The new ones shove the old ones into the box to cool down and tape it shut before they notice the box and the cycle restarts.

%% * ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: The UGRV is sometimes rendered like this.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventureszOfBillyAndMandy'' in terms of NoFourthWall and frequent references to other Cartoon Network shows. They even shared the same joke of the show's writing staff being literal babies and monkeys.

** When Belly Bag is [[ItMakesSenseInContext sent to Garbage Land]], he yells out "Please don't go through my web history!"

** In "Uncle Grandpa Sitter", Pizza Steve states that his ice cream will be strawberry, chocolate, double chocolate, fudge, chocolate fudge, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick gorgonzola]].

** In the short after "Prison Break", Belly Bag gets mauled by a werewolf and the ending parodies the ending of Music/{{Thriller}}.

** In "Prison Break", Pizza Steve claims that he got his plan for him and Mr. Gus to hide in a prison laundry cart from ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'', before Mr. Gus points out that that isn't a prison break movie.

** "The Grampies" at the end of "Pizza Eve" could be seen as a Take That toward Nickelodeon and their Kids' Choice Awards, with Uncle Grandpa managing to sweep every single category (like ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants'' often does, leading to rumors of rigging), including "Best ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' Episode", as well as how Nickelodeon often treats their shows that aren't [=SpongeBob=] or some other CashCowFranchise, as Uncle Grandpa informs all the characters in the audience (all of them existing CN characters) that their shows have been cancelled.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Uncle Grandpa is Sanguine, Giant Realistic Flying Tiger is Choleric, Mr. Gus is Melancholic, Pizza Steve is Phlegmatic and Belly Bag is Leukine.

* FurryDenial: Parodied in "Prison Break" when the aliens keep referring to Mr. Gus and Pizza Steve as humans, even when highlighting their decidedly inhuman features. Even Uncle Grandpa later says that the two look an awful lot like humans when they return to Earth.
