The series follows the eponymous kind-hearted fellow who is always happy to lend a hand — but often causes disasters instead, as without his glasses he makes all kinds of chaotic mix-ups. Despite this, his only enemy is Fizz, a megalomaniacal hamster who is somehow always accidentally thwarted by Magoo. As usual, most of the humor in Mr. Magoo's cartoons come from his [[BlindMistake visual handicap]] and his staunch refusal to acknowledge it.

* TheAce: The President is depicted as this, being well-loved by the public, and winning several contests over the course of the series.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: A lot of Fizz's plans suffer from this, due to being rooted in his egotiscal narcissism. He's convinced simple accomplishments like winning a cooking contest or changing a statue's head to resemble his own will earn him the adoration and worship of the entire world. In "Lost in the Subway", he makes a fake cave painting to try and trick people into thinking he was once worshipped by humans, unaware that science has ways of identifying the age of cave drawings (thereby proving his is a fake).

* FriendlyEnemy: There are times when Weasel can be quite civil to Magoo and even ''help'' him.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Fizz tries to succeed, but fails every so often that it's probably easy to root for him.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the 1959-1977 originals, this is more focused on {{Slapstick}} and outright comedy.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Weasel isn't ''that'' evil compared to Fizz, although he is sometimes subservient to him.
* ProWrestlingEpisode: Parodied. In fact, it ends up being more like [[MistakenForIndex Mistaken For Magician]] when Mr. Magoo assumes the wrestling ring is actually a magician's arena!
* PunchClockVillain: Weasel, Fizz's assistant, isn't really ''that'' evil and seems to be good off the clock.
