There's one where he says "...so what do you want me to say now?", one where he calls for line, one where he says his name in Spanish (with a mustache!), and one where he doesn't appear at all (with a single "huh?" heard in the background).

* "One of Us". Especially the ending. As the grandmother boards the mothership, it seems like the episode will only end on a peculiar "WTF" note. Instead, she turns around, lifts her glasses to reveal [[BlackEyesOfEvil completely black eyes]], and says "WE'LL BE BACK." in a [[EvilSoundsDeep terrifyingly deep voice]]. And to matters worse she returned in a later episode.

* The Halloween special starts off with some pretty creepy music.

to:

* The Halloween special "Nightmare in Retroville", appropriately enough for a Hollywood special, has plenty of this:
** Carl cuts his finger,
starts off with sucking on his blood and actually ''enjoying'' this (because he's just starting to become a real Dracula), much to Jimmy and Sheen's disgust and confusion.
** Sheen the werewolf stalks Libby for
some pretty time before approaching her, which we can see from his creepy music.first person perspective.
** While it's not shown on screen and we never see any bite marks, both boys actually end up biting Cindy and Libby. Before that happens, we can see Carl's mouth slowly approaching Cindy's neck, and Libby screams for her life (definitely ''not'' in a G-rated manner) once Sheen jumps onto her. You could imagine a RealLife sexual assault playing out similar to these two encounters.

* The episode where Jimmy, Sheen and Carl have a sleepover with a machine that cranks out scary stories, pillows, and pizzas. The climax is when Carl accidentally creates a flesh-eating pizza that chases them around the house, and a pack of flesh eating pillow go after the
parents. At the end after disaster seems to be averted, the pizza monster strikes back - "Haven't you ever heard of sequels?" Then it spirals into a series of nightmares from each of the characters. While most of them are funny, one ends when Carl tries to hide under the parents' bed, but gets stuck and is eaten by the pizzas. ''Yikes''.

* The animation in this show. I know that doesn't make as much sense now, but growing up in the early 2000s back when most cartoons used 2d animation, the style seemed creepy and off-putting to some children. Especially the Jimmy-Timmy Power Hours, where characters who had always lived in a 2d world suddenly became computer-generated big-headed kids.
