* {{Defictionalization}}: Brendon Small has done several live tours as Dethklok, not to mention released ''The Dethalbum'', which has the honor of being the highest-charting Death Metal album in Billboard's history. There have since been two more Dethalbums and a fourth for ''The Doomstar Requiem''.
** The Dethklok Minute is partially defictionalized, existing as a [[http://community.livejournal.com/dethklokminute/ news community on LiveJournal]] and a devoted thread on the Adult Swim boards.
** The Dethklok Fountain has now also been defictionalized, for those of you with $40,000 to drop on Adult Swim merchandise.
** Skwisgaar's signature guitar, the Gibson "Thunderhorse" Explorer, was available for sale for a limited time, then an Epiphone version was also released. Followed by Gibson "Snow Falcon" Flying V, which became Toki's signature guitar.

** Florida has since adopted Purple Alerts. When there is an active Purple Alert, special signs along Florida's highways will flash the words "Purple Alert"... and nothing else. [[note]]A Purple Alert notifies the public of a missing adult in the manner of an Amber Alert for a missing child or Silver Alert for a missing elder, but the marquees that deliver them often don't have room for additional information, or scroll to that information without the context of the alert unless you look it up yourself.[[/note]]

** [[http://i39.tinypic.com/i4n5ah.jpg The earliest designs from 2005]] show a ''much'' different look for Pickles as well. According to Brendon Small, Pickles' design had to be overhauled due to likeness issues involving Music/DevinTownsend (his basis).

* PropRecycling: All over the place and often PlayedForLaughs much like other Flash-animated Adult Swim shows of the era. Be prepared to recognize the same animation of a random bystander [[DeathByLookingUp looking up before suddenly dying brutally]].
** Also heavily present in the official animated music videos which often simply reuse animations, backgrounds, and other such assets from the show. While some of it is justified as they're reusing from the episode the video's song first appeared in, you sometimes have scenarios like the music video for "The Galaxy" reusing the giant SpiderTank stage from the episode "Dethecution" as an alien mothership, Offdensen's flying drones or "Dethspiders" from the episode "Dethrelease" as alien assault ships, and [[AIIsACrapshoot X2P1158]] from the episode "Rehabklok" as the alien robot who's had Nathan chained up and tortured.

* ActingForTwo: Brendon Small, Tommy Blacha, Creator/MarkHamill, up to eleven. Go ahead, check out Website/{{Wikipedia}}. See how many characters these people voice, not including background characters. Regular voices are more than double the regular voice actors. The entire band and [=CFO=] are voiced by '''''two people'''''.

** ''Metalocalypse'' was initially titled "Deathclock", which had to be changed to "Dethklok" to write around trademark issues. However, the title soon became "Dethklok Metalocalypse" and was then shortened to keep it from being too complicated.

* CelebrityVoiceActor: Aside from Creator/MarkHamill who voiced a lot of characters in the show, Metalocalypse had an impressive amount of guest celebrities, and was able to have the leads from other metal bands voice characters too. Most notable is ''George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher'' of Music/CannibalCorpse fame, Creator/JackBlack, Creator/JaneaneGarofalo and even ''Music/GunsNRoses' Music/{{Slash}}!''

** Because of the show's abrupt ending due to Adult Swim pulling the plug on the show, Brendon Small was forced to turn the originally planned ''Dethalbum IV'' into what became known as his new album ''GALAKITKON: Become the Storm'' and serves as audio GrandFinale to the series but without the names or references to ''Metalocalypse'' or Dethklok, as Adult Swim owns the rights to the name.

This however can be considered moot as Adult Swim has allowed Brendon to make the film that will close off the ''Metalocalypse'' story.

* FanNickname: [[spoiler: After Charles returns at the end of the third season premiere with his newly acquired hero scar, several fans dubbed this even more badass version of him "Scarles"]].
** ''Metal Lobster Tits''/''Metalobstertits'' or ''Metaloctopus'' for the show itself, due to the show's title being frequently misspelled.
** "Brandon/Brendan Smalls" for the show's creator, as his name gets butchered a lot in reviews.

* TheOtherDarrin: Tommy Blacha was unavailable for the Doomstar Requiem special, so Toki's singing was provided by Mike Keneally, with Brendon Small filling in for younger Toki. Murderface and Dr. Rockso also had their singing provided by Brendon Small. According to a Reddit AMA from Small, this was due to Blancha being unable to sing in key.

* TrollingCreator: Adult Swim were absolutely '''[[CatchPhrase brutal]]''' with taunting fans hoping for some kind of a revival, from [[https://www.thewrap.com/adult-swim-trolls-fan-petitions-to-bring-back-metalocalypse/ recording a livestream shredding fan comments]] asking about a new season or movie to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Metalocalypse/comments/gq64ix/adult_swim_is_trolling_us/ making a bumper]] that joked about how fans petitioning a company resulted in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''... But wouldn't work for ''Metalocalypse''. The trolling died down after they announced the movie.
