* MemeticMutation: The hall closet seems to be the only element of the entire show that anybody actually knows about or remembers. Jim Jordan himself in later years often remarked that "people think ''Fibber [=McGee=] and Molly'' was a closet." And even today, the phrase "Fibber [=McGee=]'s closet" is still occasionally used in the vernacular to denote any place that's cluttered or disorganized.
* ParodyDisplacement: This show is by and large survived by the numerous [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Warner Bros.]] and [[Creator/TexAvery MGM]] cartoons which referenced it and, in some cases, co-opted its catchphrases as their own.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Bill Thompson is best known as the voice of WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}}, the [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland White Rabbit]], [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Mr. Smee]], [[WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp Jock]], and [[WesternAnimation/HumphreyTheBear J. Audubon Woodlore]]. But this show is where he first rose to fame.
