1	* FanPreferredCouple: Wendy/Middleman has about three times as many fanfics as both Wendy/Tyler and Middleman/Lacey on Platform/ArchiveOfOurOwn and Platform/FanFictionDotNet.
2	* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/KevinSorbo plays a guy from the '60s with some jokes about his outdated parochial attitudes. Sorbo would later get in hot water for his offensive comments about the Ferguson riots, calling the town's black population "animals."
3	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In ''the DVD liner notes'', of all places, as the creator admits that his goal was to create a show that took place in a fantasy world far to the 'idealism' end of the sliding scale, in the hopes that the viewers would be inspired to move a little closer to that end themselves.
4	%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * HilariousInHindsight: In "The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse," Manservant Neville is basically [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]].
5	* HilariousInHindsight:
6	** In "The Flying Fish Zombification", the Middleman is reading a book about zombies. The author's surname is [[Series/TheWalkingDead Dixon]].
7	** A recurring exchange in dialogue is: "It's like a (blank)-nado." "A tornado made of (blank)?" A few years later, [[Film/{{Sharknado}} this movie]] gets made.

9	* MentorShip: Between the Middleman and Wendy according to some parts of the fandom.
10	* MoralEventHorizon: In "The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse" [[spoiler: Manservant Neville manages to become a RealityWarper, with the entire populace, excepting the Middleman and Wendy, under his MindControl. To force them both to submit, he kills Tyler, sends out roving death squads, destroys the Middle Base and Ida, traps Noser in a giant crystal, and gives Lacey ''leukemia'' since he knows that is how MM's last true love died.]]
11	* RetroactiveRecognition:
12	** Cindy, the CreepyChild from "The Boy-Band Superfan Interrogation" is Creator/EdenSher (or Sue Heck on ''Series/TheMiddle'').
13	** Eleanor Draper, the villain of "The Ectoplasmic Panhellenic Investigation," is Creator/AshleyJohnson.
14	* TheWoobie: Ida calls Middleman '69 this when he gets his hand melted. It may be a coincidence, however.
