* CreatorsPet: Videoman
* HarsherInHindsight: The opening to "The Origin of the Spider-Friends" has StanLee explain that this episode will answer viewers' questions about the series, saying, "Well, at good old Marvel, we listen to our fans." Not all the time, especially with [[OneMoreDay one particular example]].
* HilariousInHindsight: Wolverine is Canadian, but in his only speaking appearance on this series, actor Neil Ross used an Australian accent. Fans reacted badly to the very idea of this, but twenty years later [[HughJackman a bona fide Australian]] [[{{Film/X-Men}} would play]] [[XMenOriginsWolverine the mutant hero]].
** Norman Osborn physically transforming into the Green Goblin in the first episode. Stark contrast to 616-Marvel, but fits in much better with ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' a couple decades later. Perhaps Creator/BrianMichaelBendis was watching back in the day.
* MorePopularSpinoff - On purpose. ''Amazing Friends'' came about after a 26-episode ''Spider-Man'' series (which was actually quite good, for what it's worth) produced largely to get the big networks' attention. It worked.
* NarmCharm - Makes the "Swarm" episode one of the greatest things produced by man. "SWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRMMMMMMMM!"
* NightmareFuel: The imposter Spider-Man's InvoluntaryTransformation into the Arachnoid.
* VillainDecay: Dr. Doom, especially in comparison to the previous Spider-Man cartoon in which he was the BigBad.
