History WesternAnimation / VillainousCartoonNetwork

* DubInducedPlotHole: In "BH's Bizarre Bad-Venture", there's a CutawayGag to the Black Hat lawyers accusing several other Cartoon Network characters of plagiarism. Frankie from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' gives an angry retort, voiced by her Latin American actress in the original Spanish dub, but the studio was unable to get Frankie's English actress, Creator/GreyDeLisle, to voice the part, resulting in an awkward silence while Frankie mouths the words.

* ActuallyADoombot: According to Flug, the Black Hat that was turned to stone in "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS2E18CrossoverNexus Crossover Nexus]]" was actually the Black Hat clone created in ''The Perception of Evil'' short.

* SoftSpokenSadist: Flug rarely raises his voice and is generally a nervous wreck, but he's still very much a villain, as seen at the end of WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Orientation Files episode; when he has Mojo Jojo strapped to an exam table in his lab, he's clearly having an ''amazing'' time calmly and quietly explaining how [[ColdBloodedTorture the toxin he's about to inject him with]] [[FateWorseThanDeath won't kill him, but it'll be so agonizing that he'll wish that it would.]]

** The inner security system in Black Hat's mansion utilize weapons such a [[VideoGame/AngryBirds bird in a slingshot]], [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 a flamethrower]], and a [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe piranha gun]] among the weapons.

* ActorAllusion: In "The Foul Flower," Flug mentions that 5.0.5 [[LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} makes reaction videos on the internet. He also does lets plays.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Black Hat winds up having no sympathy for Lemongrab's various dysfunctions and ends his Orientation video by [[spoiler:murdering him to make lemonade.]]
** This is the fate of pretty much every villain that angers Black Hat with their ineptitude.

* FrivolousLawsuit: Conducted by the Black Hat Organization against anyone who has even a passing resemblance to the team - [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Nergal]] for Black Hat, [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack The Creature]] for 5.0.5., [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor the Villains' Coffee Shop Employee]] for Flug, and [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Frankie Foster]] for Demencia.
