Go To

1* ActingForTwo: Jack and Tito are voiced by Rex Navarette in the first season, and Joey Guila in the second one.
2* AmateurCast: Almost every character in the show is voiced by one of the show's crew members while the three voice actors they did get were also inexperienced. One was a friend of the co-creators while the other was a local make up artist. The third was a stand up comedian who was trying to break into acting.
3* ApprovalOfGod: Jesse Hernandez loves the [[MemeticMutation "The Nutshack but..." memes]] and gushed about them on his Twitter, and he even released the original full version of the theme. NUMP, who performed the theme song, also voiced his approval.
4* [[CopiouslyCreditedCreator Copiously Credited Creators]]: The show's crew was made up of 5 people who were involved with nearly every aspect of production for the show; including voice acting, storyboarding, character designs, animation, writing, editing, sound mixing, music, direction, and any additional funds needed.
5* ColbertBump: The [[MemeticMutation memes]] surrounding the show's ThemeSong (thanks in part to Music/SiIvaGunner and WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter) and its quality (thanks to WebVideo/RebelTaxi, WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries, WebVideo/TheCartoonHero and WebVideo/{{Ralphthemoviemaker}}) have given this show far more notoriety than it ever got in its original run.
6* CreatorKiller:
7** ''The Nutshack'' is the first and only cartoon to be produced by ABS-CBN's animation division; since then they have remained dormant.
8** The cast and crew of this show haven't done anything noteworthy since its cancellation, with a few of them even quitting the TV industry all together.
9* DescendedCreator: Phil is voiced by series co-creator Ramon Lopez.
10* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
11** Only the first season was released on DVD, and even then, it had a very limited print run. Copies frequently get scooped up as soon as they appear due to the show's [[BileFascination reputation]]. The show is on Myx TV's Website/YouTube channel, but unlike the DVD version, it's censored.
12** A great portion of the meme videos produced in 2017 regarding the show's theme song have been taken down for copyright (despite Jesse Hernandez and NUMP [[ApprovalOfGod expressing admiration for said memes]]), with barely any archives of them seemingly existing.
13* NoBudget: It's quite obvious that the showrunners didn't have much in the way of one, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO_KxGlY62g based on the intro alone]].
14* TheOtherDarrin: Jack and Tito had their [[ActingForTwo shared voice actor]] changed in the second season.
15* ReclusiveArtist: With the exception of NUMP, Ramon and Jesse, the team behind this show is incredibly difficult to find online, with the voice actor for Jerome being the hardest as his name turns up next to nothing at all.
16* RereleasedForFree: The show was put up on Website/YouTube after it originally aired on Myx. Although, unlike the [=DVD=]s, the episodes are censored.
17* ScheduleSlip: The last few episodes of season 2 didn't air until 2011, and by that time, people forgot the show even existed.
18* ScrewedByTheLawyers: In late 2017/early 2018, long after the series aired, most videos on [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5YDD36gH2sZ6-kGaR3xeIw the show's official YouTube channel]] were blocked due to copyright claims from ABS-CBN Corporation.
19* ShortRunners: Only had 16 episodes.
20* TransCharacterCisActor: Cherry Pie the transgender woman is voiced by Rex Navarette, a cisgender man.
21* WordOfGod: On one of the commentaries of Season 1, Jesse explained that the reason the show is called "The Nutshack" is because the cast live in an area of "nutty" people, hence "Nutshack".[[note]]"Nutshack" is also a slang term used to describe mental hospitals and psych wards, alongside "nut house".[[/note]]
