* CreatorBacklash: Jan switches through these depending on his mood, since the series caused him problems with Hasbro's lawyers. As a growing animator, it's understandable why.
* FakeAmerican: Both Button Mash and his mother are voiced by British actors.
* ReferencedBy:
** Button's Adventures and the controversy surrounding the cease and desist were referenced in ''WebVideo/PoniesTheAnthology 7''. Namely, a skit showing a 'lost episode' in which Button knocks over a glass of milk, Button being stalked by Hasbro, and finally [[spoiler: Button dying of a heart attack.]]
** Button's hat appears a backer-funded cosmetic in ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' as the "C&D", with its single stat being "+1 lawsuit", a reference to how both ''Button's Adventures'' and the original game, ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' were popular fan projects that [[ScrewedByTheLawyers met the same fate]].
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Hasbro issued a cease and desist on the series which forced Jan Animations to take it down. This has put a huge delay on the next episode as they essentially create new designs and Flash puppets for every single character. Although recently, Hasbro ''did'' allow Jan to re-work on his animations again, but it's unknown for ''sure'' of Button will stay the same.
** [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/04/dont-mine-at-night-approved-for-posting.html Negotiations appear to be going well since Jan has been allowed to repost ''Don't Mine at Night''.]]
** Jan later on posted a video explaining that in all actuality, Hasbro ''themselves'' didn't know about the C&D, that it was rather their ''lawyers'' that issued it. Never the less, Jan and Hasbro have been recently talking through emails, and from what he said, they're striking a deal that will "satisfy both parties".
** Tragically, Hasbro sadly declined Jan to allow him to continue Button's Adventures, although Jan is still thankful for the fans who supported him through and through.
* StillbornFranchise: Thanks to the C&D, plans for a second episode never got off the ground. Jan wanted to do as many as ''ten'' episodes before Hasbro's lawyers got involved.
* WordOfGod: Jan confirmed that Button's mom's name is Cream Heart.
