1* CultClassic: Notably, it really only started to gain popularity after reruns aired.
2* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: The first season of the show was a hit. The second season though was not as well-received. While new segments were done, nothing else changed, such as the sets. Some argued that kids would turn it on and notice it was still the same show.
3* MemeticMutation: "Uh oh, Chongo!"
4* PeripheryDemographic: The series has been gaining a fandom consisting of young Gen Z kids, with many of them carrying over from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''. Despite the similarities between FNAF and the 2019 film, they hate the 2019 movie for making the Splits evil. They only like the original series.
5* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Most of Pop Cop sounds a lot like certain parts of Cliff Nobles and Co.'s ''The Horse''.
6* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: It's so [[TheSixties sixties]] it hurts.
7* ValuesDissonance:
8** In one episode the Splits enthusiastically celebrate the delights of a parade...of Confederate soldier re-enactors. Nowadays, with the controversy over displaying Confederate flags and statues of Confederate soldiers, this episode would never be made.
9** The costumes and dancing of the "Sour Grapes" girls (young girls who wear miniskirts and go-go boots) now seem hugely inappropriate with increasing awareness of child sexual exploitation.
10** The three cannibal tribes from the ''Danger Island'' segments were pretty racist, even for 1969. They've only aged more poorly from there.
