* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Given the show's steady stream of {{demographically inappropriate humour}} in only a matter of 26 episodes, no sane, competent network censor would dream of airing this series without [[ExecutiveMeddling making some adjustments]] -- but this show aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork, so any argument over whether or not it's for kids is invalid.

Crosswicking. Not part of the LGBT community myself, but figured the example was notable enough to list


* LGBTFanbase: Young LGBT fans have always been at the heart of the small fandom, often focusing their attention on Larry in particular due to his [[CampGay not so subtle mannerisms]] and the OddCouple type of HoYay vibes between him and Buck Tuddrussel. Then there's the fan reactions to how blatantly the writers wrote American explorers Lewis and Clark as being in a gay relationship and how they just needed to rekindle their love for each other by the end of the episode.



* ShipMates: It is not rare that Tuddrussel/Larry fans also like Lewis and Clark.

* CriticalResearchFailure: While the show isn't historically accurate and primarily runs on RuleOfFunny, several episodes have some rather glaring errors. For instance, they said Shakespeare was of Medieval England. The time he was writing (16th-17th century) is actually considered to be part of the English ''Renaissance'', long after the Medieval times.
** Another notable example is "Nutorious" wherein George Washington Carver must deal with his evil younger brother Todd sabotaging his peanut inventions. George actually did have a brother, but it was his OLDER BROTHER and he was named James.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The episode "Kubla Khan't" prortrays the 13th century emperor of China and grandson of UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan as a comic book Geek. Otto actually lampshades this saying he didn't even know comic books existed in the 13th century. While Kubla's comic books take an American inspiration, which wouldn't be around for another 600 years, the origin of the manga on the other hand has roots going back to the 12th century.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* TastesLikeDiabetes: Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's problem. Instead of writing horror stories, he writes insanely saccharine children's poetry in a house that makes the inside of Santa's workshop look tame.

Removing an entry that doesn't mention a creator preferred one, which is needed to count as a Fan Preferred Couple.


* FanPreferredCouple: The most popular is definitely Tuddrussel and Larry. Episodes such as "Larry Upgrade," "Ex Marks the Spot," "Hate and Let Hate," and "Horse of Horrors" can be used as evidence that the show writers were trying to make this pairing canon.

** One episode managed to make Al Capone into one. His particular "time mission" sees him forcing his gang to switch places with the clowns of Chicago: they'll commit the crimes, while he and his men become children's entertainers. It turns out that as a boy, he had an absolutely horrible clown named Ho-Ho come to his birthday party and ruin his special day, driving poor Little Al to tears, and determined to make sure no child (particularly his own son) ever has to go a similar ordeal again. This sets him apart from many of the other historical figures in the show, who had selfish or silly reasons for not fulfilling their particular role in space-time.

* ValuesResonance: The episode "Forget the Alamo" has Larry help Tuddrussell's ancestor Jeremiah plan a party for General Santa Anna and his men by presenting a [[SouthOfTheBorder theme-park version of Mexico.]] When the army arrives, General Santa Anna is ''appalled'' by their insensitive treatment of his country: "This is NOT Mexican! It is an ''insult to our culture!''"; his anger is what prompts the army to attack and set history right. As the years have passed, such stereotypical depictions of countries--particularly those with large BIPOC populations--have been found to be incredibly demeaning to the people who live there...just what this episode demonstrates.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The show gets a lot of flak from viewers for being similar to ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' with a robot and a [[TimePolice Time Cop]] instead of a talking dog.
