1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ''Psycho Math'' ("[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKTqlOFHPOo Boom]]" by Jan Cyrka) music has some nice punk/industrial feels to it.
2** The wonderfully jazzy, borderline Music/DannyElfman-esque music in the intro and transition segments.
3** The groovy jazz music that plays during the ''Sketch Pad'' segments. Makes you want to just snap your fingers in rhythm, doesn't it?
4** Let’s not forget the smooth reggae song that plays during the ''Think Tank'' segments. "Can you help Captain Bob? He's jamming in his sub!"
5* CantUnHearIt: People who discovered the show after 2003 can only think of [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Grim]] when they watch the Think Tank segments, since Greg Eagles used his Captain Bob voice there, and that show is ''much'' more well-known than ''Crashbox''.
6* CrossoverShip: Dora Smarmy has been shipped with the cardboard cut-out anchorperson from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' due to them both being just that (although the latter is more well-animated).
7* GameBreaker: Turning on closed-captioning makes it incredibly easy to pay attention to what Dora Smarmy is saying in Distraction News.
8* EnsembleDarkHorse: Jumpin' Johnny Jumble and Eddie Bull, namely, get a lot of attention from the show's small fanbase for their especially memorable segments and friendly and energetic personalities.
9* FountainOfMemes: Captain Bones shows up a ''lot'' in Youtube Poop and other joke-remix videos.
10* NauseaFuel: The Revolting Slob.
11* NightmareFuel: Now has its [[NightmareFuel/{{Crashbox}} own page]].
12* QuirkyWork: A rare edutainment variant -- complete with a [[ArtShift wide range of art-styles]], uncanny character designs, and SurrealHumor. The show could generously be described as an educational fever dream.
13* RetroactiveRecognition:
14** Any fan of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' will recognize Creator/GregEagles using his Grim voice as Captain Bob in “Think Tank”.
15** The APM music used in some of the segments is better known for being used in ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
16* RonTheDeathEater: YouTubePoop loves to portray Captain Bones as an ill-tempered JerkAss doubling as SirSwearsalot. In the show proper Captain Bones definitely berates the viewers a lot in his segments, but he is a gruff grump at worse.
17* TheScrappy: The Revolting Slob is extremely unpopular for being... well, just that, revolting. He's incredibly ugly, his set is disgusting, and he doesn't have much characterization beyond being a FatSlob. Even the narrator doesn't like him whenever it’s time to play his game.
18-->'''Crashbox voice:''' ''Eugh,'' Revolting Slob!
19* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Pretty much any ship is automatically this, since there's no interaction between the segments.
20* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''[=BrainGames=]'': Both were edutainment programs on HBO Family that were composed of a series of segments with different subjects and art styles, with a MindScrew-y FramingDevice.
21* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The Crashbox itself is incredibly detailed and intricate stop-motion and CGI melded into one.
