** How Fraz and Guapo treat each other in "A Courier's Carol". They hardly argue and their favorite part of the holiday is "brotherly love". As kids, they get each other the perfect gifts and hug.

** In "Guapo's Funhouse" it is Guapo's fault for releasing the clowns into Retrograde and Fraz knows it. However when one of the clowns makes Guapo cry after eating his guacamole, Fraz says "Aww there there, little brother." In a sweet tone.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the episode "Double Feature", Fraz mentions the movie stars of Movieland having swimming pools in swimming pools. ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', which airs on the same channel, used a similar joke a few years after ''The Brothers Flub'' had run its course ("This guy's so rich, he has a swimming pool in a swimming pool!").
** Fraz is very paranoid and a bit of a control freak and is voiced by Scott Menville. Who else is? Teen Titans Go's version of Robin.

very first episode "Scared Stiff", Fraz is constantly scared of being doomed and the fortune cookie seems to confirm it. However Fraz jumps into a dangerous pinball machine to save Guapo from getting hurt.
** In "Double Feature" Guapo has everything he wants. But he is not happy because he misses Fraz. He says no matter how huge his ego is he will always care about Fraz because he's his brother. He eventually quits after the movie director insults his brother. At the end, Guapo apologizes to Fraz, who admits his job wasn't the same without him either.

* EarWorm: The theme song is considered the most memorable part of the show... but not in a good way. It's literally just ear-grating voices repeatedly singing "na na na na" and "flub" off-key for about a minute. One Website/YouTube commenter thinks that the reason that the show faded into obscurity is because so many people turned off the show during the intro, and most people who've actually seen this show hate it simply because of its intro.

I should probably mention that I've seen a small handful of folks on YouTube who are genuine fans of the show, hence me adding this trope to the list.


* CultClassic: It came and went in the late 90's before quickly escaping the minds of many a viewer to the point of becoming extremely obscure, but at best, it has a very, ''very'' small but dedicated fanbase.

** Both the titular Brothers, Guapo and Fraz, are seen as this due to [[SiblingRivalry their constant arguing]]. Guapo is mainly disliked due to his [[TheDitz ditzy]] Cloudcuckoolander personality. Fraz is just as hated, as many people find his [[CowardlyLion whiny and cowardly nature]] annoying, and they don't like his self-proclaimed bragging when he isn't being a whiny coward ("It's all part of my master plan."), simply due to a lot of things go wrong when he acts like that.

** Tarara Boomdeyay is the biggest one because of her BadBoss personality towards her workers. (Even though Guapo and Fraz somehow see her as "nice" and "special", despite often getting abused by her.)
