* CreatorBacklash: Creator/JohnKricfalusi does not like talking about this show, as it did away with many of his most coveted practices, such as OffModel custom poses and strict avoidance of model sheets, often saying it "felt like someone else's cartoon altogether."
* CreativeDifferences: Many between John K. and his crew at Spümcø and both the animation studios and network. The short version is that Spümcø wanted this to be the SpiritualSuccessor to ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', with {{deranged|animation}}, OffModel animation, while both Creator/FunbagAnimation and Creator/FoxKids deliberately ignored him in favor of something more conventional.
* DescendedCreator: John K. provides some voices on the show, such as Citrocet.
* ExecutiveMeddling: John K. claims the show was so watered down and far removed from what he originally planned it to be that he can hardly watch it. Indeed, his famous OffModel style of animation was deliberately ignored by the directors at Creator/FunbagAnimation (who already despised Kricfalusi in the first place) and discouraged by the executives at Creator/FoxKids.
* HostilityOnTheSet: John Shaw had explicitly told his staff at Creator/FunbagAnimation to disregard John K.'s style guide and left it sitting on the front desk for weeks. When John K. came to the studio and found out, the two came dangerously close to stepping outside for "fistcuffs." Kricfalusi apologized, but was banned from the studio the next day.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: With the show last having aired on television in the early 2000’s, and without a modern streaming rerelease in sight (thanks in part to John K.'s allegations against him within the cartoon industry), the only way to see this series nowadays would be through either the Lionsgate USA VHS/DVD releases (both only containing the first 4 episodes) or through a region-locked Madman Australian DVD (which contains the complete series).
* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: The show was originally conceived as a feature film.
* MissingEpisode: The episodes "The Infernal Wedding" and "Jimmy Gets Kidnapped" were left out of the Creator/FoxKids broadcast of the series because [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents it was just after]] [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 9/11]] and the depiction of Citrocet as an evil foreign dictator who liked to blow up buildings was considered too controversial. (Oddly, they left in "Stinky Butt," which begins with Citrocet having already blown the Earth into multiple floating space chunks.) The episodes were added again during the Creator/AdultSwim airing.
* TheOtherDarrin: Crag was originally voiced by Creator/HarveyAtkin, but was replaced by Creator/MarkDailey.
* ReleaseDateChange: The show was going to premiere in September 2000, then to May 2001. It would finally premiere in September 2001.
* TroubledProduction: It wouldn't be a John K. production if it weren't one of these. Most egregiously was a lack of communication between Spümcø and Creator/RedRoverStudios. The animators were given simultaneously complex and poorly-explained directions like "draw close to Jim [Smith]'s boards, while emulating Creator/JackKirby." Because John K. was in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles, he couldn't supervise directly, and could only comment on drawings by having them faxed to him for corrections. When production moved to Creator/FunbagAnimation, he sent them a style guide which sat unopened on the front desk for the entire production by order of production manager John Shaw, whose relationship with Kricfalusi had already turned sour. Kricfalusi threatened to beat up Shaw when he came to the studio and was immediately banned from the premises, forcing him to do most as much revision as possible from a nearby hotel room. And in the case of Funbag and its blatant refusal to follow Kricfalusi's style, Creator/FoxKids was pretty happy to approve of Shaw's decision to keep the characters as on model.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** This show and a solo show about Jimmy, the idiot boy (then called ''Jimmy, The Retarded Boy'') were both pitched to Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in the same meeting as ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. The characters of Ren and Stimpy were background characters on Jimmy's show. John K. shifted the focus to two background characters because he didn't want to sign over the rights to Jimmy.
** Creator/PlaymatesToys planned to do an action figure line, but it never got past the prototype stage.
