1* BetterOnDVD: The show is best viewed in order instead of randomized reruns; both seasons are divided into 5-episode arcs relating to a specific science topic (for example, the first five episodes together comprise an arc about measurement). The end of each arc is a recap of that week's topic. Thus, watching on DVD or streaming services offers the more complete experience.
2* BizarroEpisode: The entirety of the web-exclusive episode "Where Did I Come From?". After asking his parents [[TheTalk the titular question]], they instruct him to "go right through that wall", whereupon [[spoiler:Sid phases through the walls of reality itself and ends up in the Jim Henson Company's real-life LA studio, where the animators explain to him (and the audience) how Sid is animated and that his existence is as a fictional creation. Sid is so horrified that he rushes back through to his parents, who promptly [[Film/MenInBlack zap him with a neuralyzer]] and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erase his memory of the whole episode]].]] This is never brought up again in the show.
3* FridgeHorror: In the episode "Where Did I Come From?", after Sid [[spoiler:returns from the real world, and is disturbed by what he had seen there, his parents [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erase his memory of the episode]] using a [[Film/MenInBlack neuralyzer]]. While this episode likely isn't intended to be canon, the fact that they own a device they can use to erase his memories definitely raises some questions about how many times they may have done this before. The fact that they both act rather casual about the whole thing really doesn't help much…]]
4* MemeticMutation:
5** Sid goes through the wall [[labelnote:Explanation]]The scene at the beginning of "Where Did I Come From?" where Sid clips through the FourthWall to meet the showrunners has become a very popular source of edits since.[[/labelnote]]
6** "I love my mom, my mom is cool!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] The song Sid sings when his mom takes him to school has also become a meme on Website/YouTube.[[/labelnote]]
7** "BREAKFAAAAAAST!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the opening of every episode, Sid yells said line while running to the kitchen and [[EatTheCamera directly into the camera]]. It's sometimes used as a joke JumpScare online.[[/labelnote]]
8** "I'm looking for my friends." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The song Sid sings on the playground in each episode is a popular source of remixes.[[/labelnote]]
9** "Ask me if I'm a truck-"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In "I Have Muscles Where?", Mort's impromptu comedy routine is to tell Sid to ask if he's a truck. Sid asks if he's a truck. Mort saying 'no' is often replaced with a truck picture put on his face, along with a truck horn.[[/labelnote]]
