** Due to the LighterAndSofter nature of the series compared to the books, the villains aren't quite as dangerous when compared to their literary counterparts. To give a simple example, the Great White Butt was responsible for killing Eleanor's mother in the books, whereas most of his schemes in the show are much simpler stuff like breaking apart Zack and Deuce's friendship.

** Eleanor has demonstrated shades of this, having developed in Season 1 a highly-experimental artificial butt re-oderizor which restores the stink shield of any butt whose human is stupid enough to wash them - albeit with nasty side-effects. Note that in the books, she was also the scientist of her dad's team (creating the prosthetic butts they all used instead), so this does have justification.

* MythologyGag:
** In the GrandFinale, "Bring Me the Butt of Silas Sterne", the evil plot of [[spoiler:Silas' butt]] to have all the world's butts switch places with their humans' heads is the exact same scheme that the butts were plotting in the very first book.
** The term "Zombie Butts from Uranus" is dropped several times throughout the series, referencing the title of the second book.
