** Numerous moments in the episode "Crimes of Passion Fruit". The scene in which Fergy looses it resulting in him destroying the fruit bowl of the Big Boss in certain frames is cut to look like something reminiscent of a slasher film. He then panics, ingesting the "remains" but not before conversing with himself in a manner made to look like he's lost his mind and is talking to another side of a split personality. The entirety of the episode is then Fergy attempting to hide what he had done, not realizing that there was a speaker in the fruit he ate to channel the voice of "The Big Boss", convinced he's possessed by the vengeful spirit of the man who he'd done in. He runs to the Bonboon, who suggests an ''exorcism'' of all things! This Troper had to admit- for a 4kids production cartoon, this was pretty dark...
** And then of course- "What's with all the heavy breathing? Are you some kind of sicko?"

** The subject is explored in the appropriately titled episode "Candibalism" where Fergy receives his order chocolate bunnycomb and poses it as his "cousin [[IncrediblyLamePun Candice]]" so he can selfishly keep others from eating the treat. When he finally gives in and devours the chocolate bunnycomb, everyone assumes that Fergy just committed an act of cannibalism, complete with him being muzzled and wheeled on a straitjacketed handcar a la [[TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]].
