1* FridgeBrilliance: Perhaps the reason Plex is the only puppet character who doesn't seem like a kid is because he's a robot and thus doesn't have any developing to do.
2* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
3** Creator/BradPitt once dressed up for Halloween as DJ Lance because his kids watch the show.
4** In universe, the song "Be Nice To Everyone" ends rather suddenly with DJ Lance, in a beam of light, repeating the chorus in a deep, dramatic voice.
5** According to an interview on ''The Late Show with David Letterman'', [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Bill Hader]] actually appeared on the show for the same reason Creator/BradPitt dressed up as DJ Lance for Halloween: [[SoMyKidsCanWatch to be in something G-rated for his children]]. Despite that his daughter was later embarrassed over it (Hader compared the embarrassment to if his father appeared in ''Franchise/StarWars''), it was still very funny [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments and very sweet]].
6** Everyone enjoys the Gabbaland Art Show, congratulating each other in turn. When everyone gets to Toodee's thing, they all just stare at it. ''No one knows what it is''. There is a comedic {{beat}} before Foofa finally speaks up, after which everything proceeds as normal. It's just the kind of thing that a good friend would do in real life (exhibiting tact to spare a friend's feelings):
7--> '''Foofa:''' Toodee! That is great art!
8** In the ''True Jackson, VP'' episode, "Trapped In Paris", Jimmy and Ryan find that DJ Lance and the Gabba Gang are trapped as hostages. However, despite their situation, DJ Lance manages to keep his Gabba Gang in a positive light. It’s both hilarious and disturbing.
9--> '''DJ Lance:''' We’re being held captive, but we don’t mind! Right, friends?!
10* MemeticMutation: Several, including Nathaniel (who likes to dance) and "Party In My Tummy".
11** Biz's beat of the day seems to be a popular subject for {{YouTube Poop}}s.
12** Because of the show's appearance on ''Series/WandaVision'', it was common to point out that ''Yo Gabba Gabba'' (and by extension Music/MyChemicalRomance due to their [[SesameStreetCred guest appearance]]) technically exists in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
13* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: A video shown at DJ Lance Rock's solo concert appearances reveals just how he became the protector of Gabbaland... [[http://vlog.seksuroba.com/?p=84 in the style of a 70's tokusatsu show]].
14* NightmareFuel: Plex manages to "die" ''three times''. He gets hit by a snowball, runs out of battery power, and gets knocked over by Brobee. While he is a robot, it could distress younger fans. Luckily, he comes back every time.
15* {{Squick}}: In one episode, a girl's "cool trick" was playing a recorder with her nose. It's not really worse than playing it with your mouth when you think about it, but it's still weird.
16* PeripheryDemographic: Come for the indie rock band cameos, stay for the surrealism! They're even marketing specifically to the periphery demographic, too. There are shoes, t-shirts and even designer toys intended solely for adults.
17* QuirkyWork: When ''[[UsefulNotes/AmericanNewspapers Time]]'' TV critic James Poniewozik reviewed the show, he stated that it would "convince you that someone slipped something into your Fruity Pebbles."[[note]]This is in a ''positive'' review. He named it the #8 best new TV series of 2007.[[/note]] However, co-creator Christan Jacobs is a conservative Mormon, and drugs are, quite literally, [[AgainstMyReligion against his religion]].
18* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: During "Bugs", the Gabbas' song "Follow The Oskie Bugs" has a melody and rhythm which are vastly similar to Bruno Mars' hit song "Treasure".
19* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The shortening of the theme song in the fourth season sorta sparked this review from fans.
20* ToyShip: Yes, people [[{{Shipping}} ship]] them. The most common are [[PortmanteauCoupleName Muffa, Broffa, Plexance]], and Brobee/[[WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan Kai-Lan]].
21* UglyCute: Muno & Brobee.
