Main series: A - C | D - F | G - L | M - R | S - Z
Spin-offs: Dial M for Monkey | Justice Friends
- All Just a Dream: The episode where Krunk dreams of him meeting the Puppet Pals. Which turns out to be a Dream Within a Dream by Puppet Pal Mitch himself.
- Anti-Climactic Parent: Major Glory's Uncle Sam. Major Glory spends the episode featuring the latter doing everything he can to guarantee that his uncle will approve of his friends and their hotel room, but it turns out that Uncle Sam has mellowed out over the years and is no longer the strict parental figure he once was.
- Avengers Assemble: Justice Friends, Asssembllllle!.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: A rare all-male example. Val Hallen, who's an In-Universe Mr. Fanservice, is the Beauty; Major Glory, who's The Leader and comes up with the team's plans, is the Brains; and Krunk, who's essentially a Palette Swap of the Hulk, is the Brawn.
- Bee Afraid: The basis of the episode "Bee Where?", where a Bumblebee flies into the Justice Friends apartment, and they try and fail to get it out. The bee itself doesn't even do much harm, but Major Glory is terrified of it, and Krunk gets mad at it when he tries to catch it in his hands and it stings him. The episode ends with the bee interrupting The Justice Frenzy, causing the team to be forcibly thrown out of the building, they decide to live in the street until the bee dies .
- Bigger on the Inside: Val Hallen's room is a Pocket Dimension, as shown in the episode of the same name.Krunk: OOooo, much bigger than Krunk's room!Major Glory: That's why he pays extra [rent].
- Captain Geographic: The leader is a patriotic hero named Major Glory. He even has a red-and-white striped cape.
- Captain Obvious: Krunk, and to a lesser degree Major Glory, tend to state pretty obvious things.
- Catch-22 Dilemma: When trying to get rid of a bee that is in the apartment in "Bee Where?" Major Glory gets into one for one of his plans. He suggests to open all the windows for the Bee to fly out, but quickly changes his mind believing that this will just let more bees fly in and swarm them. Though he also realizes that with all the windows closed there is no way to get rid of the bee that is already in the apartment.
- Comic-Book Time: None of the main characters age at all; but this is Justified given that they are Ambiguously Human at that (although Val Hallen appears to be a Differently Powered Individual, so should age but doesn't). However, it is a Satire/Parody/Pastiche of the comic book, superhero and sitcom genre, so the idea of superheroes not aging is parodied, although Played for Laughs as with everything in this segment.
- Counting Sheep: Krunk does this in "Things That Go Bonk in the Night". He falls asleep after counting just one sheep.
- Disney Acid Sequence: Krunk's dream, which includes (among other things), a multi-eyed roller-skating zebra in a trenchcoat.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: One episode explains that Major Glory was trained into superheroics when he was young by his uncle, Uncle Sam, who treated him this way. When Mayor Glory meets Uncle Sam again as an adult, he finds out that the latter became a New-Age Retro Hippie.

- Freudian Trio: Major Glory is the Superego, Krunk is the Id, and Val Hallen is the Ego.
- Fun with Flushing: The episode "Ratman" begins with Krunk and Val Hallen flushing stuff down the toilet for fun, including objects that would logically be too big to fit, such as a couch, a refrigerator, and a television.
- Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Major Glory says this word for word to Val Hallen in one episode.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: In "Val Hallen's Room," the rock god's "mighty axe" guitar goes missing, causing him to lose his powers. He remembers having it during a feast of golden apples with the Valkyries and his pet goat Billy. Major Glory and Krunk search Val Hallen's room from top to bottom, but cannot find it...until Krunk realizes that Billy (who's been following them around for the whole episode) ate the instrument.
- Hulk Speak: Krunk talks this way, being a parody of the Hulk to begin with.
- Improbable Weapon User: Val Hallen fittingly used a guitar (or as he referred to it, his "Mighty Axe") as his weapon, and it was also the source of his powers; without it he becomes physically ill and reverts from a Viking-esque god of Rock to a scrawny, short-haired nerdy-looking guy, presumably his true form.
- Lampshade Hanging: Ratman's backstory don't seem to add up.Val Hallen: I don't get it. Weren't the rats the ones who scared your parents away? And what's the motivation? Are you trying to avenge your parents or something?
Ratman: What do you mean? I got the costume, and the belt! What's not to get? - Large Ham: Major Glory takes this up to eleven.
- Laugh Track: Used to resemble the sitcoms it parodies. It was removed after the first season.
- Mad Mathematician: An Ad Bumper has Major Glory fighting the Evil Math-Magician with "Justice Fruit Pies, the delicious treat you'd have to be crazy to hate".
- "Miss X" Pun: The only female member of the Justice Friends is a magic wielder named Miss Spell.
- Multilayer Façade: Krunk tries to take off the mask of Major Glory, only to reveal several layers of masks beneath it.Major Glory: When I say Secret Identity, I mean secret identity!
- Mundane Made Awesome: The entire series is built on this. The opening theme shows just how epic changing a lightbulb can be, and at least once they give Death Note a run for its money in the chip-eating stakes.
- "Krunk stop Kat's reign of terror! Here kitty-kitty-kitty!"
- Only Sane Man: Val Hallen, especially in 'Pain in the Mouth'.
- Parody Product Placement: An Ad Bumper features Major Glory saving Dexter and Dee Dee from the Evil Math-Magician with his "Justice Fruit Pies". For bonus points, this is a parody of a real-life product placement: Marvel Comics really did promote Hostess Fruit Pies, often with comics in which the Marvel heroes used the snacks to subdue supervillains.Evil Math-Magician: Not Justice Fruit Pies! The delicious treat you'd have to be crazy to hate! Oooh, I give up!
- Post-Treatment Lollipop: The segment "Pain in the Mouth" sees Krunk visit the dentist, who offers him candy afterward.
- The Power of Rock: Val Hallen is basically a rock star with super powers.
- Punny Name: Val Hallen is both a pun on Valhalla and rock group Van Halen.
- Roommate Com: A spoof. Three superheroes - Major Glory, Valhallen and the Infraggable Krunk - live together in an apartment, engaging in typical sitcom hijinks in between crime fighting. The shorts even employ the same vapid laugh track that disfigured so many seventies sitcoms...
- Shout-Out: In "Can't Nap", after Major Glory gets locked out of the apartment by White Tiger...
- Major Glory: WIIIIIIIILLLMAAAAAAA!!! I mean, KRUUUUUUNK!!!
(Flies off. Krunk walks out dressed as Wilma, accompanied by a snatch of "Meet The Flintstones")
- So Unfunny, It's Funny: TV Puppet Pals. All it consists of his a pair of puppets bonking each other on the head while making cheesy jokes involving the word "bonk", but the delivery and monotonous nature of the jokes are what make it so funny.
- Spectacular Spinning: The cyclone-producing Justice Frenzy attack.
- Stealth Pun: The title itself is one. The group is called the "Justice Friends," presumably a reference to both the Justice League of America and Superfriends. The pun? Both of those are DC titles, and pretty much everyone in the show (with the exception of Ratman) is an Expy of a Marvel character.
- Super Hero: The titular trio's day job. A good portion of the episodes do show their crime fighting escapades to juxtapose them with their more mundane problems.
- Stating the Simple Solution: In "Pain in the Mouth," Krunk suffers a toothache as a result of getting a tortilla chip stuck in his tooth, and Major Glory chooses to go through all manner of elaborate, overly complicated schemes to try to either remove the chip or the tooth; after every failure, Valhallen suggests that they simply take Krunk to the dentist, and every time, Major Glory blows him off on the grounds that he's The Leader, so they do what he says. Eventually, Krunk, recalling what his favorite TV show said to do when one has a toothache, goes to the dentist on his own, and said dentist is able to remove the chip quickly and painlessly. It's also revealed that Major Glory is overdue for some extensive (and presumably painful) dental work, which explains why he was so against the dentist in the first place.
- The Tooth Hurts: Subverted in one episode where Krunk gets a bit of tortilla chip stick in his tooth. Major Glory insists on a series of idiotic, illogical methods to cure him rather than simply taking him to the dentist. When Krunk finally goes there, the extraction is simple and painless. The moral of the story: Go to the dentist, or it'll hurt more.Valhallen: Right, Major Glory?
Major Glory: (getting his teeth cleaned with a scrapper) YE-E-E-E-E-ESSS!! - Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Major Glory's cape.
