- Continuity Lock-Out: Just like Mark and Carlo's first show, you really need to keep track of the continuity in this show, or else the plots and jokes will make little sense.
- Crosses the Line Twice: The Traintop Battle scene in Episode 9. Henchman Kyle getting beheaded? Disturbing. The fact that he got beheaded by a pigeon? Ridiculously funny.
- Genius Bonus: Just like The Most Popular Girls in School, a good portion of this series isn't as funny if you don't have an above-average knowledge of pop-culture stuff.
- Jerkass Woobie: The titular character. His ideas to Take Over the World constantly go down in flames, his wife frequently cheats on him (and eventually divorces him), his daughter is both ditsy and dismissive, and his arch-enemy is a womanizing Hero Antagonist. But of course, Havoc is still quite a bit of a dick himself, being the Villain Protagonist not above killing many of his own henchman and other innocent people and all.
- Moral Event Horizon: Von Duct crosses it in Episode 30 when he wipes Houston off the map with the giant space laser.
- One-Scene Wonder: The Living Art Exhibit (voiced by Mitchell Davis), as seen in "Black Superhero".
- Signature Scene: Dr. Havoc writing in his diary.
- Spiritual Antithesis: To The Most Popular Girls in School. Despite the fact that both Matthew Derringer and Brock Mason are quite popular with women, only the former is genuinely gentlemanly (and black) while the latter is a white perverted douchebag. While Mackenzie Zales is an Alpha Bitch with high standards who is successful in high school domination and almost always wins in her (relatively) typical world, Dr. Havoc is an actual (albeit Affably Evil) supervillain hellbent on world domination who always gets struck by Failure Is the Only Option thanks to his family and/or superheroes; and despite both being Determinators, only Dr. Havoc is fully aware that villains never win because they're always going to be stopped.
- They Copied It, So It Sucks!: This series is sometimes accused of being a Robot Chicken rip-off.
