Go To

1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The "good" beetles in the second episode really did want to help Toast Boy, however, their poor knowledge of human anatomy and psyche betrayed them.
2** This also happens with the supposed DownerEnding, where Toast Boy [[spoiler:goes to get his brain fixed]]. One wonders if he actually went there [[spoiler:thinking that's what it was (as in, really getting his brain fixed) or if he knew what it really entailed and, due the previous events, was DrivenToSuicide]].
3* FridgeHorror: The beetles are actually us - adults and all they do is a metaphor of how society is ''turning children into "adults"''.
4* IAmNotShazam: Though "Toast Boy" is the main character's given name, "Spoilsbury" is never mentioned.
5* MemeticMolester: In the final short, a beetle in the walls has this small conversation with Toast Boy:
6-->'''Beetle in the walls:''' ''I've been watching you, little toast slave... In the shower, yes? Becoming quite the young gentleman, aren't we, [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre if you know what I mean.]]''
7* NauseaFuel: Anything having to do with the grandma. Particularly [[spoiler:"Give [[UnusualEuphemism granny's gash]] a moisten with that cream. Mind out, there might be a few loose kernels down there." The "kernels" turn out to be ''beetles''.]]
8* NightmareFuel: The {{Freak Out}}s. All of them.
9* {{Squick}}: Almost everything, particularly the grandma and some of Toast Boy's nightmares. [[spoiler:Especially the one where he watches two human-size beetles have sex, and then as two beetles ''rape his grandma''.]]
10** According to WordOfGod, the [[spoiler:aforementioned rape scene]] is one of the reasons [[OldShame why he has been put off from continuing the series]].
11* UglyCute: Toast Boy and Liache count, mostly because both are on the verge of [[TheWoobie woobie]] status.
