* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: This bit from "Braklet":
-->'''Brak:''' Well, I'm not supposed to kill you, but I ''might''. How do you know I haven't already killed you? Are you even allowed to hear this, because here's a question: ''I'm gonna kill you!''\\
'''Clarence:''' Ah! Ah! Did the- Ah! [[ItMakesSenseInContext Did the park ranger put you up to this]]?
-->'''Brak:''' Maybe he did, or maybe I'm just CRAZY! AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH! Come forth, my precious! ''(voice suddenly goes deep)'' '''TIME TO DIE!'''
-->'''Clarence:''' ''(runs away screaming)''
** Zorak fails to get his booth back from Butchy, resulting in two [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomp Battles]], and takes up forceful residence in Brak's room. Fed up with Zorak's refusal to leave, Mom goes out to set Butchy straight. And, boy, does she whoop Butchy's ass. (Although due to the limited animation, the actual fight is obscured, technically making this an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome.)
** During the rap contest of "Brak Street", Brak manages to please the crowd, but it seems like he's on the verge of losing to Prime Cut. [[http://youtu.be/f5mVNRsedbY?t=2m55s Cue Dad coming in and breaking it all down]].
** Seeing Thundercleese return to full power to destroy the meteor threatening the planet is pretty awesome in itself. Even better, he ensures his abilities are back by blasting Zorak to smithereens, after spending the episode dealing with Zorak taking advantage of his deactivation to wreck his stuff.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: A common occurrence in the show, due to the style of random humor employed in the series. Such moments include a tiny robot appearing out of nowhere to mimic Brak, the underground chamber containing Roblox-esque automatons of the family, and a small alien popping out of thin air to kick Thundercleese's head before running away.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Dad. There are entire websites dedicated to his quotes.
* FridgeBrilliance: The final line of the Hamlet episode may seem out of place in the context of the episode itself (Zorak declaring to "Watch ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' on DVD") but previously, Brak had starred in [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLybxoAK6grIfeHMDMkMtfuSu2aYLs2sxi a series of special commercial spots promoting The Powerpuff Girls movie, leading up to the day it came to theaters.]]
* HarsherInHindsight:
** The ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' episode "Sweet for Brak" revolved around ''The Brak Show'' being extremely popular and Space Ghost being jealous of his former co-worker. ''Brak'' ended up being the first Adult Swim original to be canceled at three seasons in 2003 (In comparison, ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'' would get a total of four seasons, ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' got eleven and a feature film, ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', while also only having three seasons, would last until 2007, and ''Space Ghost'' saw sporadic new episodes until 2004, with some new segments made after the fact too.).
** [[https://youtu.be/yizuPav8E_E?si=Z0qDsuOOEUCQ1GcB This promo for the show airing in reruns]] has Brak living in a dump and begging Adult Swim to take him back. This is sad upon learning how Andy Merrill and C. Martin Crocker were laid off from Williams Street and didn't get paid residuals. Crocker spent his final years in poverty, and Merrill became a delivery truck driver for Amazon to make ends meet.
* HilariousInHindsight: ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'' would also show a goldfish with a love for ham, though with a far less tragic result than Mr. Tickles.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Despite Zorak being well, Zorak; Brak and his parents clearly care about him and see him as another member of the family. Brak's mom even calls him "dear." This gives Zorak people who care for him deeply despite being who he is, something he can't get anywhere else.
* FanPreferredCouple: [[HoYay Brak/Zorak.]] Yes, really.
* PeripheryDemographic: The show might have aired on [adult swim], but Brak seems to be popular with younger audiences. It helps that he also appeared on the kid-oriented ''WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet'', and that ''The Brak Show'' itself is one of [adult swim]'s less raunchy programs.
* RetroactiveRecognition: A pre-superstar Music/CeeLoGreen, then known as a member of Goodie Mob, voices Prime Cut Miggity-Mo' Macdaddy Gizzabang Doggy Dog Dog in "Brakstreet".
* TheScrappy: Clarence. He was a replacement for Sisto in Season 2, and spent most of his time being annoying and taking up large chunks of the plot doing nothing. However, he did get better in the GrandFinale.
* SeasonalRot: Suffered rot near the end of Season 2 after the episode "Brak Street". The writing continued to deteriorate in Season 3 with impossible-to-follow plots, Thundercleese being turned into an [[TookALevelInDumbass utter buffoon]], [[DemotedToExtra Mom just wandering around]], Dad becoming [[{{Flanderization}} more of a jerk than before]] and somewhat of a CreatorsPet, and Zorak appearing sporadically, leading to the show's cancellation and [[EndOfSeriesAwareness having the show be aware of it.]]
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Season two compared to season one. Looser restrictions helped open up the plots and what the writers could do with Brak and friends.
* TakeThatScrappy: Clarence gets [[ChewToy victimized quite a bit]]. His final scene in the series has him spontaneously combusting.
