These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
A dragon coming out of absolutely nowhere(pun not intended) and eating Eustace in the last five seconds of the episode.
Eustace getting mauled by a Siberian Tiger while deer hunting.
Seems as though animals are always coming out of nowhere to attack Eustace, as he got attacked by a giant squirrel in "Family Business".
Most of Courage's nightmares from the last episode could count, especially that blue thing. It really had no importance to the rest of the episode except to scare you straight and it really wasn't seen or mentioned again in those other nightmares.
The way Katz gets defeated in "Katz Under the Sea".
"Snowman's Revenge" has Snowman breaking out into a So Bad, It's Good musical number about... a chilly love story? Huh?
"Courage Meets The Mummy" opens with an archeologist dusting off a gem inside the Mayan temple, which then shoots out a beam of light which gets reflected off some things and causes a disco ball to come out of the ceiling while some music plays for a brief moment. Afterwards, the archeologist just shrugs it off and continues dusting off the gem stone.
Cargo Ship: In "The Gods Must Be Goosey", the Goose and Eustae's Truck are getting married at the end of the episode.
Katz. A startlingly straight example for a kid's show: most of the villains are sort of cartoonishly ineffectual, even if they are loaded with Nightmare Fuel, but Katz is a genuine psychopath.
"Care for a bit of sport before dying, dear boy?"
Mad Dog from "The Mask" also counts. He's a violently abusive and possessive gangleader who is hellbent on murdering someone just for being his girlfriend's best friend. When Bunny tries to escape him, he buries her alive as punishment and later attempts to run her down with his car for trying to escape with Courage. Yeah, at one point he "acts" like he cares, but given his other behavior, its easy to see this is just manipulating her emotions in order to keep her under his paw, a common tactic by real life abusers. Like Katz, he's also played startlingly straight with little comedy in his character at all.
There is also Benton Tarantella from "Everyone Wants to Direct". The sadist zombie who is actually a former serial killer who, with help from his partner Errol (who was pretty bad himself too), posed as an amateur filmmaker wanting to direct in his victims homes. After they let the two in, they would kill them. Now he plans to bring Errol back to life so they could continue their killing spree, starting with Muriel and Eustace, obviously.
The soundtrack to the episode "The Tower of Dr. Zalost".
Also the end of the Doc Gerbil episode during the boat chase scene.
the person who composed that disturbing yet awesome theme in "Windmill Vandals" deserves a medal.
The subtle organ music that plays during certain events. It plays quite a bit clearer in the quilt club episode, one place where it's really noticeable.
Fan Nickname: The "Perfect Trumpet Thingy" for the blue thing in the first of Courage's nightmares in "Perfect" and "Violin Girl" for the Demon Head in "Courage in the Big Stinkin' City".
Courage, Muriel, and Eustace together as a group is usually called "the Bagges" or "the Bagge family" by fans.
Seasonal Rot: a lot of season three and four episodes aren't nearly as memorable as pretty much every episode in season one and two. They're still considered pretty good, though.
The idea of on of the Valkyries falling in love with the incredibly disgusting Troll king, and soon the other Valkyries and the trolls falling in love is just, gross. Don't think about their Honeymoon to much...
That scene doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny because the as the Valkyrie and Troll King were singing about how much they love each other, they would not. Stop. Singing, Despite the fact that the rest of the Valkyries and Trolls were on their way to the cave. Added bonuses include going to the scene of the Valkyries and Trolls running their way over there, and cutting back to the Valkyrie and Troll King, STILL SINGING, and cutting back over and over, but also Courage Lampshading it.
In direct contrast to most "villains", Freaky Fred is a perfectly kind individual whose shaving... thing lost him his pet, his girlfriend, his job, and landed him in a mental institution.
The Snowman. The poor guy lost all of his friends and family because of global warming, is it really any wonder that he wanted to freeze everything in the entire world?
