* OlderThanTheyThink: A sketch show based on ''MAD'' magazine's parodies, cartoons, and random doodles is nothing new (besides ''MADtv'', there exists an unsold pilot/TV Special of a ''MAD''-based sketch show in the 1970s that included parodies of ''Columbo'' and ''Film/TheGodfather''; the pilot was never picked up and made into a series)
* ShallowParody: Most of the time this is averted (See Above) Manga/{{Naru|to}}[[BeverlyHills90210 210]] is an example. The writers apparently only saw the first three episodes of ''Naruto''. "Why do all these ''Naruto'' fights happen off-screen?" The relationship between the Genin, which is similar to a group of high school students' interacting, is also skimmed over.
* TheyJustDidntCare:
** As expected for a parody of ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'', "The Clawfice" ends with a ThatsWhatSheSaid joke. However, it doesn't contain a DoubleEntendre.
-->Oh my God, it's Magneto!
** The [=DVDs=] don't have 16X9 enhancement.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Much like most of Cartoon Network's past and present offerings, this show is packed to the brim with a lot of ParentalBonus and GettingCrapPastTheRadar moments that confirm that Cartoon Network's censors are terrible at their job, and even if they were, it's doubtful that many kids would understand a lot of the things the show references.
** Which was lampshaded in the ThanksgivingEpisode

* Complete Monster: Both of {{Monroe}}'s parents fall under this. Even though everything that everyone does to Monroe is PlayedForLaughs, they (and Dylan, the bully) fulfill all criteria required. Let's see: insisting on chaperoning him on a plane trip to Hawaii, just so they could humiliate him (causing him to leave the plane before it takes off)? Check. Shutting him outside the house in the eye of a hurricane, demanding that he sing something before he be let in? Check. Forcing him to push their broken down car up a hill, when Dad could have called a tow truck? Check. Sending him off to Survivor Jr. against his will? Check. Leaving him to fend for himself and his baby cousin at home while they go to a water park? Check. A list of their atrocities would go on ''forever''. The only reason they're not in jail is because Monroe is the titular ButtMonkey in a SadistShow. Seriously, I can't imagine any redemption coming from them and, non-canonically, one would hope this boy would [[CallingTheOldManOut give them a good speech about thinking about what they've done]] at some point and just never take care of them in their old age or attend their funeral. (And we thought the MoralEventHorizon ''couldn't'' be played for laughs!)
