* CreatorKiller: The show is cited by many as contributing to Hammer's decline in popularity, as the hip hop community at the time saw this as an act of Hammer selling out. It definitely didn't do anything to help, at the very least.
* GenreKiller: This show, along with the equally short-lived ''Little Rosey'' series from the previous (1990-91) season, effectively brought the curtain down on the CelebrityToons genre, which had been popular on Saturday mornings dating back to the [[TheSeventies mid 1970s]].
* KidsMealToy: White Castle gave out toothpaste and sponges to promote this show. [[SincerityMode Yes,]] [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer really]].
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: You have to look fairly hard to find all 13 episodes of the series online, though some are heavily available on [=YouTube=], and others are available on VHS. The [[Creator/DHXMedia current rights holders]] have no plans for a DVD release of the series any time soon, and it's not even listed in their catalogue, though certainly [[CreatorBacklash not without reason]].
* NoBudget: If the amateur editing and animation weren't enough of an indicator.
* NotQuiteStarring: Hammerman is not voiced by MC Hammer himself, but by Clark Johnson.
* ReferencedBy: Hammerman is one of the [=DiC=] characters that appears in the ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch "Welcome to the Golf Jam".
