* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: It's only fitting that a show made by the same people who did ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' would have some catchy tunes.
** The opening theme, while short and mostly just involving [[ThemeTuneRollCall the penguins saying their names]] and [[TitleThemeTune then the show name]], has a nice combination of stereotypical alien movie music and classic surfer rock, finished off by a cool guitar riff.
** The musical numbers that the penguins performed from ''The Cheating Scales of Bullamanka'' to ''The Moon Menace on Planet Tell-A-Lie'' at the end of each episode are all catchy in their own right. The stand outs include "The Shinin' Star Swing" from ''The Amazing Carnival of Complaining'', an energetic and fun carnival/rock/swing GenreMashup and "The Legend of Galaxy Gus" from ''The Moon Menace on Planet Tell-A-Lie'', a country ballad about the titular Galaxy Gus, a FakeUltimateHero cowboy potrayed by Zidgel who ultimately saves the day anyway after admitting to his lie.

** In "Git Along Little Doggies", after Zidgel and Wild Bill apologize to each other, they do a ManHug, which makes Midgel a bit uncomfortable. After Wild Bill pulls away from Zidgel to talk to Michelle, Zidgel is shown reaching out for Bill as if he was trying to kiss him

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The "ombudsmen" gag in ''The Cheating Scales of Bullamanka'', involving a definition for the word being displayed on the screen after Fidgel uses it, after which Kevin "fixes" it to read "ombudspenguins" by [[BreakingTheFourthWall drawing on the screen]]. It's a completely ([[Administrivia/TropesAreTools yet hilariously]]) random gag that is never repeated again throughout the whole show, nor is it noticed or commented on by anybody else except Kevin (and maybe Zidgel).

There's gonna be an overhaul of this trope, and this example may not qualify in the future


* EvilIsSexy:
** The Lizard King, depending on if the viewer has a thing for alien lizards who speak with fast-paced Australian accents and cheat in games.
** Baron von Cavitus, again, depending on if the viewer has a thing for alien hamsters in robot suits. Hell, he even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it in one episode.
--->'''Bert Bertman:''' Preposterous! Maybe in my suit of armor, I meet the proportional requirements to be considered handsome, but inside, I'm still only a small pudgy vermin!

** The first episode came out five years before ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'', which would introduce us to ''another'' quartet of adventurous penguins.

Added DiffLines:

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: When the series came back, quite a few fans weren't really pleased with the changes.
** Some of the voice changes such as Fidgel and Jason sound more annoying than how they were depicted in the original videos.
** The lack of music videos.

Its 20th anniversary was in 2020, if I'm not mistaken.

* HoYay: Yup, not even a Christian children's series about the adventures of four anthropomorphic alien penguins is free from this, as this dialogue in ''Invasion of the Body Swappers'' shows.

* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Zidgel X Midgel has been named "Gay Space Penguins", as homosexuality is observed in penguins often.

** Apparently, in ''In the Big House'', Zidgel likes the smell of Fidgel's ass being burned.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Take these lyrics from "Fair and Square" out of context and try to see how it doesn't sound like it's referring to a [[YourCheatingHeart different kind of cheating]].

* MyRealDaddy: Despite being created by Jeff Parker, Nathan Carlson and Phil Lollar, the show itself is seen more of Mike Nawrocki and Ron Smith's creative input as they worked a lot on the jokes and stories. Not helping that Ron Smith is interviewed a lot on the features.
