- Birthday Episode: "Barbequor" takes place on Monkey's birthday. Then, the Silver Spooner (a homosexual parody of Marvel's Silver Surfer) introduces the planet Earth to his master Barbequor (parody of Galactus but as an apron-wearing chef) to eat. Monkey tries saving Earth, but the Justice Friends (especially Krunk) force Monkey to just enjoy his birthday party rather than let him save their home world, and try to resolve the issue themselves but are all too weak to fight Barbequor. Then it's up to Monkey to go and stop Barbequor.

- Dung Fu: In "Huntor", Monkey disables one of Huntor's guns by throwing poo at it.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: In "Magnamus," the character designs are more anatomically correct and Monkey transforms via a meditation pose, as opposed to simply powering up on command.

- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Monkey both in and out of costume is quite the adorable simian.
- Sacrificial Planet: Rasslor, the universe's greatest wrestler goes searching for worthy opponents on inhabited planets. If no one can beat him he destroys the planet."And so my quest has brought me to this timid little planet you call Earth, so, terrestrial heroes, can one of you quench my thirst for the divine conflict, the supreme struggle?
