Adaptation Displacement: It was a toyline first. Ironically, it lasted longer than the show, yet is somehow even more obscure.
Anti-Climax Boss: In "Bumblelion and the Terrified Forest", the Gorantula is built up as a horrific monster that could overrun all of Wuz. When we actually get to see it, Transylvia swoops in and shrinks it back down to normal.
Designated Hero: Rhinokey always picks on Hoppopotamus, either by pranking her or making jokes about how fat she is.
Epic Riff: That blast of bassy synthesizer that starts off the theme song. It's like being hit in the face with a Yamaha DX7.
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While the show only ran for a season in its native US and is not the most successful show of The Disney Afternoon timeslot, it was much more successful in the UK.note This is because, withsomeexceptions, shows with a toyetic DNA in their show since their conceptualization or have become major successes and spawn tons of merchandising and the shows used it to their advantage, are generally frowned upon in the United States, but have become much more favored in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Latin America, and Europe.
Values Dissonance: As mentioned on the main page, there are a lot of unflattering jokes about Hoppo's weight, up to and including making the ground shake just by walking. They were probably going for cartoonish exaggeration, but now feel like cruel fat-shaming.
Viewer Gender Confusion: Despite having a female kangaroo pouch (and eyelashes in some promotional artworks), Eleroo is male. Audiences easily mistook his character to be a female due to characteristics.
The Woobie: Moosel. Especially in the episodes "Horray For Hollywuz" and "Moosel's Monster". In the Hollywuz episode, Hoppo pretty much treats him as a doormat and in "Moosel's Monster", the other Wuzzles yell at him for his over active imagination causing him to slowly waddle home. With tears in his eyes, Moosel laments that no one would want to be his friend with his overactive imagination and that he's his only best friend. This scene just makes you want to reach into your screen and give the poor moose-seal hybrid a good cuddle.
