* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Believe it or not, [[UrbanLegend it wasn't]], according to [[WordOfGod Sid and Marty Krofft themselves]]. At one point they even ''fired'' a crew member for showing up stoned.
** After decades of being goaded for a definitive answer on whether the show was one giant pot reference, Marty Krofft ''did'' finally admit that ''Pufnstuf'''s title was a reference to reefer smoking. However, the title was apparently born out of a childish sense of humour rather than an active interest in drug culture, as he was seeing if he could pass it by the NBC executives without being called out on it.
* WidgetSeries: Most definitely.

* ViewerSpeciesConfusion: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.R._Pufnstuf#Others Judging from the Wikipedia page]], some people mistook the Ants for "crustaceans". More bizarrely, they class them as a separate species to the Hippie Ants.

* UnfortunateImplications: During the movie, Witch Hazel performs a song about the importance of being different. While nothing wrong with that in and of itself, because it's sung by a witch (and from her perspective), and because witches (at least in this movie [[note]] and by extension, the TV show[[/note]]) are evil, some viewers may have thought that the movie implies that being different is evil.

* LoveToHate: Like most Krofft series, the villain Witchipoo and her QuirkyMinibossSquad of assistants is the real draw of the series (as a BigHam more than anything else), with the nominal heroes only mildly of interest.
