** Madalena in "Bewitched, Bothered and Belitted," where she learns the pair of {{Alpha Bitch}}es she turned herself into such a monster to gain the acceptance of still have nothing but cruel contempt for her. She ends up singing a rare completely earnest and joke-free song about how painful it is.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Before the second season premiered, the producers announced that they'd decided not to tempt the cancellation gods again, and while the season would leave the door open for more stories, it wouldn't be as absurdly open-ended as the first and allow the audience some level of closure in case this turned out to be it.

* HollywoodPudgy:
** Gareth makes several jokes at the expense of Isabella's weight. This is lampshaded by King Richard, who points out that she's a hundred pounds soaking wet. It's then subverted when Gareth mentions that the "really skinny" women he likes are "really, really unhealthy." In fact, he also likes really fat women. He is just not fond of anything in-between.
** Relatedly, there's not much difference between Galavant in-shape and Galavant out-of-shape. Basically his shirt is looser.

* HarsherInHindsight: The numerous jokes about Richard's lack of physical prowess became pretty wince-inducing when a couple years later Timothy Omundson suffered a major stroke that left him physically disabled.

* TheScrappy: Kingsley, with critics noting that Rutger Hauer didn't seem to quite get the show's tone and plays the whole thing completely seriously. Plus, he's the primary reason we don't get any closure in the first season.

** The AngryMobSong "Today We Rise" is very similar to "One Day More" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables''. {{Lampshaded}} when Sid starts waving a giant red flag out of nowhere halfway through.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: "It's a fairy tale spoof with upbeat musical numbers made by the man who composed the songs for ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and]] ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''? [[TemptingFate Surely, it will be a fun romp for the whole family to enjoy!]]" Or so thought many subsequently surprised parents prior to the show's first airing. This despite half the theme song being devoted to all the sex Madalena and Galavant were having during their relationship.

** Both the show's major actresses were given roles on other ABC shows after the cancellation, with some striking similarities to their ''Galavant'' characters. Karen David plays a princess who's lost her kingdom and searches for outside help to get it back on ''Series/OnceUponATime'', and Mallory Jansen plays a coldly unemotional android who gains access to dark magic on ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''.

* GeniusBonus: Richard is conned into buying a lizard, thinking it's a dragon that will soon grow to full size. Thing is, he's actually right, as it's a Pogona, whose common name is the bearded dragon. [[spoiler: It turns out not to be a con at all in the end.]]

** The prop used for the Sword of the One True King is, appropriately enough, a replica of Charlemagne's sword.

* EarWorm: The SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, ''especially'' the opening number. Just listen to it once, and suddenly you'll want to start singing along any time you hear it again. Or even just see the lyrics.
** Hell, ALL the music qualifies in one way or another. One particular example: "Do The D'Dew" is so naggingly catchy that Wormwood still has it stuck in his head in the ''next episode.''
