* HoYay: Papi has a tendency to get involved in this (the milk dance, anyone?).this, especially in episode 17, Poison, where he kisses Popee on the lips - even though it's only to get rid of the poison, the way it plays out can lead to other interpretations.

* MemeticMutation: [[spoiler:"[[SuddenlyVoiced MemeticMutation:
** "[[SuddenlyVoiced
KEDAMONO NO KAO WA!]]"]].WA!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An infamous scene from Episode 39, Face, where the Frog suddenly speaks up to tell the cast that Kedamono's face looks like his mother's. This, combined it with the fact that it's strange out of context, made the clip memetic, resulting in people parroting the phrase in videos or posts related to the Frog.[[/labelnote]]
** The facial expressions on Kedamono's masks have often been compared to [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] due to the way they're drawn.



* ViewerGenderConfusion: First-time viewers often mistake Popee for a girl because of him being somewhat androgynous, his wearing pink and red, as well as his name being similar to the usually feminine name Poppy.

** According to a WordOfGod in an interview, the creator never even made it with children in mind in the first place, and didn't didn't even know what kind of network Kids Station was because he couldn't afford the channel. The person in charge of the channel arbitrarily decided that it can be shown to children.

** In episode 17, Poison, Papi has an incredibly sexual scene where he deepthroats a knife and kisses Popee on the lips. Keep in mind, WordOfGod confirms Popee is his ''child''.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show has a sizable fanbase in the west, even though it [[NoExportForYou never aired outside of Japan (and isn't really commercially marketable in the West)]]. Case in point, Toby Fox (creator of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''), is a noted fan of the show, and in turn Popee's director Ryuji Masuda is an Undertale fan (itself a case of GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff in Japan), so much so that Ryuji's wife [[https://www.twitter.com/tobyfox/status/794826828120780800 drew fanart of Sans hanging out with Popee]].
* HarsherInHindsight: In the episode ''Mimic'', Popee puts on a gorilla mask that belongs to Kedamono and [[BecomingTheMask gets brainwashed into thinking he is a gorilla]], and Kedamono has to shoot him since he was acting too wild. 15 years later, Harambe is shot and killed for acting too wild next to a three-year-old boy.

* ValuesDissonance: The fact that [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids this show is intended for children]] might be initially very shocking, given the relatively constant blood and more-violent-than-usual AmusingInjuries, BlackComedy and elements of SurrealHorror. However, it's important to keep in mind that in Japan, the show's home, ''extremely stylized and [[SpecialEffectFailure unrealistic]]'' violence isn't typically treated the same way as graphic, realistic violence; in essence, the show's bizarre art direction and surreal elements [[DefangedHorrors defang]] the violence enough that in Japan, the show is seen as perfectly acceptable for children.

However this can be a double case of values dissonance, as a lot of viewers who grew up watching the show are shocked that it was aimed at children, not to mention graphic violence in Japanese children's media is a lot less common than it was in the past.
**Surprisingly enough, the only real problem the network had with the series was not the violence, but the fact that Popee had three fingers because they were getting complaints from viewers with disabilities. The episode "Knife Game" was created to show that Popee had five fingers all along, but ironically enough it got banned for imitable acts of violence.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Popee and Papi are {{Jerkass}}es alright and can do whatever to torture poor Kedamomo when he does nothing wrong, and many of the characters suffer a CruelAndUnusualDeath, to the point the show is unwatchable.
