  • Dancing Bear: The NFTs of each episode are the main reason anyone would be interested in this show, rather than the actual episodes themselves. For anti-NFT people, this also makes the show Overshadowed by Controversy.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Among detractors of the show and fans of Saberspark, Saber Fart is this, in part due to him being Adorkable, and a fine example of Take That, Critics! backfiring, since Saberspark himself thought his appearance was Actually Pretty Funny.
  • Overshadowed by Controversy: Because the show associates itself so closely with the cryptocurrency and NFT movements, it's impossible to discuss without getting into the many controversies surrounding them.
  • Special Effects Failure: The pilot episode uses very primitive puppet animation, with characters having rather odd movements and obvious joints either from the rotation points being misplaced or the joints being poorly designed to begin with (any character with a gradient would have the gradient go through their joint that wouldn't be adjusted properly when their limbs were bent). There's also a strange dissonance between the puppet animation and animation drawn frame-by-frame, where for instance, limbs with puppet movement have a higher frame rate compared to mouth movements consisting of multiple drawings. The second episode was given some much-needed Art Evolution to avoid this.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: NFTs as a major cryptocurrency barely lasted longer than this cartoon did, with many of them being worth as little as $30 by late 2023.
