1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: At least Manny and Kelly demonstrated that they didn't ignore the signs of developing and eventually flourishing romance between them ([[EveryoneCanSeeIt which everybody else could see]]) and began to openly demonstrate their romantic interest in each other. Phew!
2* FandomRivalry: With ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'', but usually as a joke. Even ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' is in on it, doing a sketch where Bob has Manny deported back to Mexico because Bob is a stand-in for Creator/DonaldTrump who views Manny being a natural-born citizen as a problem and wants the monopoly on all contractor work, starting with building a new migrant detention center.
3* OlderThanTheDemographic: The titular character is a grown man who is the protagonist of a preschool cartoon.
4* NauseaFuel: In "Breakfast of Champions", the tools cooked breakfast, and believe it or not, Manny and the tools were actually eating it. Besides, it's considered contaminated.
5* SelfFanservice: A lot of fan artists make Manny attractive in their art. They also humanize the tools and make them attractive (except for the younger ones like Squeeze, Flicker, and Stretch).
6* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: While it's normally a light-hearted preschool cartoon, the episode "Felipe's New Job" had Felipe the screwdriver try to commit suicide, saying that Manny could melt him down and use him for scrap metal. We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.
