* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The cartoon character retirement homes in "I am My Lifetime" mostly contain characters from classic Creator/HannaBarbera shows, with [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter]] being the only Creator/CartoonCartoons character outside of the WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken universe to make an appearance. This is because, at the time, Dexter's Laboratory was the only Cartoon Cartoons show that had officially aired when the episode was produced. Chances are, had the episode been made several years later, it would have included characters from other Cartoon Cartoons shows such as WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo, WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy, WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls and WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog in place of the Hanna Barbera characters.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Despite the show being named "I am Weasel", it's possible to see I. R. Baboon as the true main protagonist, with Weasel being more of a HeroAntagonist. The theme song seems to be written in Baboons favour, with Weasel interrupting. Also, on old Cartoon Network Game had the player helping Baboon out do Weasel.

** "I Am Franken-Weasel" features a tombstone with the engraving [[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1591/83/1591833150902.png "Cuck"]] on it while Baboon is searching for a body in the cemetery. This is a reference to producer Louis J. Cuck, but due to Cuck becoming a widespread insult decades later and short for {{Cuckold}}, this can easily be misinterpreted as an adult joke. [[note]] Not helped by the fact that Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel are known for having these kinds of jokes, with the first Weasel episode even having a similar joke.[[/note]]

** "I Are Gladiator" has Red Guy as the the Roman emperor Glutetus Maximus, named after the largest and outermost of the three gluteal muscles and makes up a large part of the shape and appearance of each side of the hips. Its thick fleshy mass, in a quadrilateral shape, forms the prominence of the buttocks.

** "I.R. Plant Life" in Season 1, where Baboon [[SickAndWrong marries a sapient thistle]] he created via [[ItMakesSenseInContext stealing from a museum]] who he has an InterspeciesRomance with, is pure ArtisticLicenseMajorBiology {{exaggerated}}, is a weird episode in itself. Although it was a SpaceWhaleAesop on conservation and environmentalism (and makes some valid points on how even the least flashiest or appreciated plants need conservation, outside of Scotland, that's what thistles are seen as); DontShootTheMessage applies on that, it's still ''full-on weird''. It was also the show's ninth episode in the first season, establishing a bizarro episode pretty early on, which doesn't always happen with a new series on launch.

** "The Legend of Big Butt" has Weasel and Baboon searching for the mythological creature Big Butt (who turns out to be Red Guy) at the Himalayas. When they reach the moutain top, Baboon starts freezing and takes his clothes off and gives it to a snow man as he feels bad for it. This has several parallels to [[https://www.totalhealth.co.uk/healthy-interests/top-10-symptoms-hypothermia real-life hypothermia]], as the symptoms include shivering, drop in energy, loss of reasoning, blue complexion and getting the idea of taking your clothes off, All of which Baboon showed traits of in the episode.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** In "The Sackless Games", the final event is a luging competition (where Weasel and Baboon ride brothers with Luge for a last name). At the end, the Red Guy says "I tried to warn them that the luge is the most dangerous event in sports, but they would not listen.". 11 years later, Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a luging accident hours before the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
** In "I Am Bush Pilot" I.R. almost crashes the airplane he and Weasel are piloting into a mountain. This would be far less funny years later after the Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps in 2015.
** "I Am Franken-Weasel" features a tombstone with the engraving [[https://img.fireden.net/co/image/1591/83/1591833150902.png "Cuck"]] on it while Baboon is searching for a body in the cemetery.

* DontShootTheMessage: "I.R. Plant Life" had a SpaceWhaleAesop but its message was pretty wholesome; even the smallest of plants should be conserved, even if they're weeds, which thistles are seen as. Not bad for an episode made in ''1997'' when climate change and conservation were not as big social issues as in UsefulNotes/TheNewTens.

** "I Am Cliched" in Season 4 is a SelfParody of Cartoon Network and toon physics, with cartoon cliches abounding in this episode.
** "The Magnificent Motorbikini" in Season 4 is totally bizarre, being about an invention that's half-motorcycle, half-bikini and features talking hams that are cosmic beings taking AFormYouAreComfortableWith; plus, Weasel wears a bikini that episode, [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdressing being something he's done occasionally]]. The episode gained notoriety for feeling like an acid trip, even though by the show's standards, it's had some pretty weird episodes.
