** Vlad Seximus: Vlad Plasimus. Hey, EvilIsSexy!
** Señor Seximus: Nickname used by English-speaking fans for Vlad in the Spanish language version of the show.
** In certain circles, once Jazz's father called her "Jazzypants", it stuck. As has "Jazzerincess".
** Amber [=McLain=]: Ember [=McLain=]'s "real" name.
** The unnamed ghost dog that alternates between [[PreciousPuppy a puppy]] and [[AngryGuardDog an angry adult form]] is often referred to as "Literature/{{Cujo}}".
** Danny's evil older self from The Ultimate Enemy is only addressed in-universe as Phantom and listed in the credits as Dark Danny. That hasn't stopped the fandom from almost universally calling him Dan. The Tie-in UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance with the same name [[AscendedFanon outright calls him Dan Phantom]], which doesn't help his case. Maybe the writer was a fan?
** College Trio: Collective name to refer to Vlad, Jack, and Maddie.
** CW: Because sometimes "Clockwork" is just too long to bother with.
** GW: Because sometimes "Ghost Writer" is just too long to bother with. (And his initials are written on the pediment of his mansion.)
** Frightmare: Nocturne's temporary name prior to the episode "Frightmare" airing.
** Jack Plasmius: Halfa Jack in "Masters Of All Time".
** Master of Longwinded Introductions: Technus.
** The Magnificent Nine: The first 9 episodes of Season 1.
** Halfa: The only character to use the word "halfa" (as in, "half a kid, half a ghost") was Sidney Poindexter, a student who died in TheFifties and is therefore stuck using fifties mannerisms and speech patterns. But it's not like the show writers ever came up with any ''other'' name for the concept, and "half human and half ghost" doesn't exactly roll of the tongue, so the fandom has decided that "halfa" is as good a word as any.

** Paulina being essentially a Latina version of [[Franchise/SpiderMan Liz Allan]] when, in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', Liz was given a RaceLift and is Latina in the show... and interestingly she looks ''very'' similar to Paulina, as well.
** Kwan also seems to be based off Kenny [=McFarlane=], and Kenny was made Asian in Spectacular.
** The episode titled "Shades of Gray" can't get into some people's minds without thinking about ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'', which only gets better two seasons later in "D-Stabilized" when Valerie Gray has Danny tied up in her underground lair and tortures him with a cattle-prod-like weapon...
** During a battle with Vlad in the first episode of Season 3, Danny is shocked at how "rusty" he's apparently gotten and how easy it is to beat him, remarking throughout the fight how "you've really lost your edge." In context, it turns out Vlad's so weak because he's currently split himself into hundreds of duplicates that he's using to possess everyone in town, but considering the VillainDecay he suffered from this point onward, it sounds like Danny's LeaningOnTheFourthWall.
** So Danny's having trouble controlling his new ice powers due to lack of use and needs to learn to "let it out"... Just ''try'' to re-watch the Season 3 episode "Urban Jungle" without hearing [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 "Let It Go"]] in your head.
** The original idea for Danny was that he was an {{Expy}} of ComicBook/GhostRider. Now, in 2015, a Franchise/KamenRider [[Series/KamenRiderGhost with a Ghost Theme]] was announced using the exact same idea.
** Ember [=McClain=] is an evil musician from another dimension with a teal color scheme, has a pony tail, and uses her music to hypnotize people. Doesn't that remind you of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks another similar villainess?]] Even better, Ember is voiced by Creator/TaraStrong, who played a major character in that franchise.
** Look at the shapeshifting ghost Amorpho from "Forever Phantom". [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Doesn't his design remind you of a certain someone?]]
** In 2012, it took fangirls no time to notice that Danny looks just like a 2D-animated version of another [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians ghost boy with ice powers]], who has a very similar [[WeCanRuleTogether relationship]] with his story's BigBad.
** The episode, ''Teacher Of the Year'', may have been made 7 years before Literature/ReadyPlayerOne (14 years before [[Film/ReadyPlayerOne2018 the movie]]), but the similarity of the in-universe game's goal to win the ''internet'' (OASIS in the case of Literature/ReadyPlayerOne) made it feel like one.
** In "Infinite Realms", Tucker over-exaggerated how hungry he was and asks Sam to tell his PDA he loved her and the cell phone meant nothing to him. To show how this series became an UnintentionalPeriodPiece, cell phones have become more advanced to the point where they are capable of everything a PDA had done, making them obsolete. If this were made in more recent times or continued further, Tucker would be saying the opposite instead.
** "Reality Trip" showed the Reality Gauntlet, an object clearly based on the Infinity Gauntlet. At the time, few people outside of the diehard Marvel fans were aware of it and its significance. Years later came the start of the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', which make the Infinity Gauntlet a more recognizable object. Perhaps, had the show continued or be revived, we would have seen a ComicBook/{{Thanos}} {{Expy}}.
*** On the subject of Thanos, "The Ultimate Enemy" has Dark Danny say, "I'm inevitable," years before Thanos himself would say the same thing in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. Fittingly, in his "10 Years Later" videos, Butch Hartman drew one of his interpretations of Dark Danny as looking like Thanos.
** Freakshow would not be the last [[BaldOfEvil bald villain]] that Jon Cryer would play. His [[Series/Supergirl2015 next]] would be ComicBook/LexLuthor.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBCCndiXc7I Butch Hartman's drawings of a theoretical Danny Phantom toy]] from ''Toys/FunkoPop'' [[https://bleedingcool.com/collectibles/funko-nycc-reveals-2020-danny-phantom/ would ultimately come true]].
** A blonde, blue-eyed caucasian girl named "Star" would be a more prominent character [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil years later.]]
** In "Pirate Radio", when Mr. Lancer reveals an "anonymous donor" sent Casper High a vinyl album causing Tucker to bemoan, "What is this, the stone age?" After the series ended, Vinyl would see a resurgence that lasted well over a decade. Meanwhile, PDA's which the technology-crazed Tucker obsessed over, would become obsolete.
** In “Life Lessons”, Skulker hunts Danny and [[DatingCatwoman Valerie]] on a booby-trapped island, and a child (in their case it’s a [[EggSitting floursack baby]]) is thrown into the mix. Not long after that episode premiered, [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman another green-haired villain voiced by]] Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson [[Recap/TheBatmanS3E7TheLaughingCats would do something incredibly similar]].
** The Guys in White, expies of TheMenInBlack, seen most in the series are called Agent O and Agent K. While the franchise that inspired them already had an Agent K, ''Film/MenInBlack3'' in 2012 would introduce it's own Agent O, who had a romantic attachment to Agent K. And then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z_CVcfp4YM this scene]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Danielle, for those who don't consider her TheScrappy. Had the series continued along with her subplot given more than two episodes, [[spoiler:she was to eventually be accepted by the Fentons and become Danny's little sister]]. Considering the episode she debuted in featured Sam and Tucker tired of being sidekicks, Danielle could have easily filled this role too. Doing this might have also developed Danny's character further as [[BigBrotherInstinct a big brother]] and [[BigBrotherMentor a mentor]].
** Remember [[spoiler:Dark Danny]]? Danny's evil counterpart who was more powerful than him, had a complete lack of any sense of good in him and, considering he exists outside of time now, no longer needs Danny alive so he can easily kill the ghost boy? Did you know he was supposed to be the main villain of the season finale? Apparently, Butch Hartman and the new co-producer, Kevin Sullivan, decided that we needed more reminders that Danny liked Sam in Season 3 instead of bringing [[spoiler:Dark Danny]] back.
** Valerie almost completely stopped appearing outside of cameos midway through Season 2. Though she had one major role in Season 3, otherwise it seemed as though the writers didn't know what to do with her. Even during "Reality Trip" where everyone in Amity Park found out that Danny was a ghost, we never see Valerie's reaction. Let's not forget "Phantom Planet," where Valerie was shown to have a generic reaction (clapping and smiling) along with everyone else.
** Several new villains like Undergrowth and Nocturn had interesting looks but botched by typical "rule the world" plots and more Danny and Sam shipping. To be fair, Undergrowth had an excuse.
** Bullet had a cool design and would've made a good {{Foil}} and [[TheDragon dragon]] to Walker. However, he only worked with him in one of his episodes and barely got any attention.
** The final episode featured a team of ghost hunters hired by Vlad called "The Masters Blasters," giving Danny a hard time and making people love them instead of him. The idea of Vlad having a team of ghost hunters working for him might have made them a decent QuirkyMinibossSquad and rivals to Danny...if they didn't appear in the very last episode.
** Freakshow, the only villain in the series who is human (the other human villains are either a half-ghost or just amoral ghost hunters who [[FantasticRacism see ghosts only as monsters]]), could've been a cool re-occurring villain, especially since (unlike the other humans, including Vlad) he doesn't use technology but magical items. Also, he's shown having "ghost envy" and feeling everyone cares more about ghosts than him, which made an interesting foil to Jazz, who noted the same feeling at times. He's only used in the Season 1 finale and in the third two-parter of the series...and that was it.
** Alicia is Maddie's sister and the only known member of the Fentons' extended family. Yet, she only appears in "Prisoners of Love" and has not made any more appearances in the series. Somewhat frustrating since we have yet to see her exact relationship with Danny and Jazz, too.
** Kwan. A few episodes showed that he's a NiceGuy when Dash isn't around to influence him, and he even befriended Sam and Tucker after getting kicked out of his clique in "Lucky in Love." By the end of the episode, StatusQuoIsGod kicks in, and Kwan goes back to being a JerkJock. It would've been interesting to see him be the TokenGoodTeammate of the popular kids and even be an occasional acquaintance of Danny's group.
** Harriet Chin. An old college classmate of Jack, Maddie and Vlad and was introduced in Vlad's introductory episode as a reporter who finds out that ghosts are real and is fired for being a "crackpot." Outside of a cameo appearance, she never shows up again.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: To be fair, Season 3 had some good ideas. However, it was all botched due to rushing some subplots, as well as forgetting others or not giving them proper conclusion, Vlad's VillainDecay making him less impressive as a villain as well as appearing when not needed, constant ShipTease between Danny and Sam that even shippers felt was unnecessary and unneeded episodes (one example is Livin' Large, where Danny suddenly changes his opinion on being rich in the middle of the episode and becomes greedy for no reason).
** Danny finally frees Wulf, but the episode this occurs in only features this in the second half of it, the first half is more of an unrelated summer camp story.
** Danielle's subplot of being unstable was going to end differently, [[spoiler:with the Fentons adopting her]], instead she's stabilized by a miracle "Fenton gadget of the day" and goes off on her own again... in only her second appearance.
** Valerie learns the existence of half ghosts and that her hate for them made her a pawn of Vlad Plasmius, vowing to make him pay... right before the series finale.
** Also, in the episode Valerie becomes a ghost hunter, Tucker attempts to establish a relationship with her. Although she at first dates him because of his knowledge on ghosts, the end of "Shades of Grey" implies she started to reciprocate those feelings. However, by her next appearance, not only is Tucker over Valerie, he's outright rude to her. This route could've granted Tucker some much needed character development with dueling loyalties, but was removed in favor of Valerie becoming Danny's love interest.
** Several people felt "Reality Trip" would've gone better if Danny didn't erase his secret identity from his parents' memory. If they still knew, Danny wouldn't have to worry about them hunting him like in "Forever Phantom" and they would have been much more helpful if they were aware, from stabilizing Dani to knowing not to trust Vlad. If anything, erasing their memory, especially when they made it clear they loved their son no matter what, wasn't [[StatusQuoIsGod restoring the status quo]] so much as not letting characters develop and keep plots repetitive.
*** Many were also disappointed that we didn't get to see Valerie's reaction to Danny's identity being revealed.
** Thanks to [[ExecutiveMeddling Steve Marmel not being a part of the show anymore]], many story arcs from the first two seasons were dropped. The above-mentioned Danielle and Valerie stories were among them. Other examples being the return of [[spoiler:Dark Danny]] and Vlad's deal with the Fright Knight. These could have been explored in Season 3, instead of an episode devoted to...the Box Ghost.
** "The Ultimate Enemy" set up the possibility that Vlad might see the error of his ways one day and reform. Sadly, he never did.
** Vlad attempting to clone Danny really didn't go past the first episode it's brought up in. If his plan had actually succeeded, we could've had some interesting plots and encounters with a clone of Danny, possibly on the level of "The Ultimate Enemy" in terms of how they could've been done.
** We never really get to see Jack and Maddie in action against a ghost threat, which has the side effect of making them look incompetent as ghost hunters. Around half the episodes in season 1 are based around the Fentons inventing a new gadget and then Danny being the one to actually use it. This could've been helped if an episode or two had the parents more involved in fighting instead of conveniently missing all the excitement.
** Danielle, for those who don't consider her TheScrappy. Had the series continued along with her subplot given more than two episodes, [[spoiler:she was to eventually be accepted by the Fentons and become Danny's little sister]]. Considering the episode she debuted in featured Sam and Tucker tired of being sidekicks, Danielle could have easily filled this role too.

* CultClassic: While it was fairly popular when it aired, compared to its fellow "kid hero" shows from its era, namely ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'', ''Danny Phantom'' didn't see as much mainstream success. [[note]]''Kim Possible'', unlike ''Danny Phantom'', was UnCancelled for a fourth season and would get a live-action movie adaptation a decade later. Meanwhile, ''Ben 10'' became a franchise with several sequels, movies, and a reboot.[[/note]] Nor did it get as much attention as Hartman's other series, ''The Fairly [=OddParents=]''. However, despite this, ''Danny Phantom'' is still highly regarded by its viewers as one of Nickelodeon's best shows of the 2000's that was mistreated by the channel.

'''Instead:''' He grabs the JerkassBall and tells the Ghost Writer ''to his face'' that he was proud of destroying the book. In retaliation, the Ghost Writer traps him in his new Christmas poem.
*** At the beginning of the episode, we find out Jack and Maddie's bickering over Santa Claus, inadvertently ruining every Christmas Danny's had so far, is the reason Danny hates Christmas so much.

'''You'd Expect:''' Mr. Lancer, the vice-principal of a high school, as well as an administrator of education, would be rational, if not sensible, about the whole situation and therefore conduct a thorough, and public, investigation as to how some teenager, if not any student in general, would be able to steal the answer sheet right from under his nose, when he had the only key to his briefcase and had said briefcase handcuffed to his wrist the whole time.\\

Identity Crisis came before the ultimate enemy, so the latter is the contradiction, besides it's Vlad's evil half that corrupted Phantom, not to mention the recent trauma from losing all his friends and family. Second of all we barely see how Phantom split off from Danny acts like in "What you want" given it immediately joined back with Danny, for all we know they would have been the same as in identity crisis except there they wanted to be split while here the split was an accident and Phantom immediately wanted to rejoin with Danny. And also, Phantom is not a separate version of Danny, whenever he's split off from Danny, Phantom identifies himself as Danny and refers to "our family" when talking to Fun Danny. Even Dan usually refers himself as Danny when talking about the past, he doesn't act like his human self is a completely different person, he just got rid of his humanity. Whenever Danny gets separated from Phantom it's splitting himself in half, not actually a different person.

This would have been a ''fascinating'' concept to explore, a way to build on the nature of half-ghosts and what the transformation might signify. Not only is such a concept never acknowledged, when the Ghost Catcher ''does'' return in "Identity Crisis" its function has completely changed and merely splits Danny into two exaggerated versions of his usual persona.

* NightmareRetardant: Depending on how you view it, Vlad's primary obsession with the concept of killing Jack for marrying Maddie so that he can have Maddie and having Danny as his son isn't disturbing, but all to himself is either highly disturbing or laughably pathetic, considering that Jack, her husband, Jack isn't even aware of how much Vlad hates him and how it's repeatedly demonstrated that Jack and Maddie are completely happy with eachother and that Maddie is also unaware of Vlad's his feelings towards her. The fact that her, as well as Danny wants repeatedly demonstrates that he has nothing but disdain and disrespect towards Vlad, which can ''really'' make him look pathetic. It doesn't help that it's shown in ''Masters of All Time'' that Maddie is unhappy with being married to Vlad due to him forbidding her from pursuing her interest in ghosts and ghost-hunting, something that she can freely do with Jack, meaning that Vlad and holds no respect for him whatsoever also makes him couldn't even more arguably pathetic.be a good husband to her even if he married her.
