1* AccidentalInnuendo: "Darren checks the goalie! [[HoYay He likes what he sees.]]"
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ''entire soundtrack'', largely courtesy of Music/TenCc's Graham Gouldman.
3* EnsembleDarkhorse:
4** Dean Wilson the otter, [[MemeticMutation for suure]].
5** Tatyana Tushenko is probably one of the most well known competitors in the show.
6** Bolt Jenkins is being treated like this due to his backstory, achieving what he dreamed of, being a proper sportsman towards Kip Ngogo, and for being a {{expy}}/parody of [[Film/{{Rocky}} Rocky Balboa]] and Creator/JohnTravolta and it shows in the Noah's Ark Disco scene.
7** Brenda Springer is seen as this for her {{Fanservice}}.
8* FairForItsDay: The film has a metric ton of ethnic stereotypes, good ''and'' bad, so it avoids being offensive.
9* FanPreferredCouple: Many fans ship Bruce Kwakimoto and Tatyana Tushenko. Some theorize that they'd even receive a lot less controversy than Kitt and Renee since they were in different divisions in their event so they never competed against each other.
10* HarsherInHindsight: At one point in Kurt Wuffner's introductory sequence, he is seen skiing down [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror "the Animal Trade Center"]].
11* HilariousInHindsight:
12** A track & field athlete called Bolt, who did exceptionally well in the 100m? IronicEcho doesn't even '''''begin''''' to cover it!
13** Speaking of Bolt, who is a parody of Creator/JohnTravolta, in 2008 the real John Travolta would later go onto to voice another {{WesternAnimation/Bolt}}.
14** Creator/HarryShearer essentially doing Kent Brockman seven years before ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' debuted.
15*** This wouldn’t even be the [[WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle last time]] Shearer would voice a dog sports announcer in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals.
16** You can't watch the Calimari Brothers and not think of ''Film/CoolRunnings''.
17** During the fashion show segment, the athletes are showing off pieces from a fashion designer named Enrico Pucci... [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Now where have we heard that name before? ]]
18* OlderThanTheyThink: Some people assume Henry Hummell is an [[{{Expy}} expy]] of Ben Stein rather than Henry Kissinger.
19* NightmareFuel: The scene spoofing ''Film/TheSeventhSeal'' features a [[ArtShift scene in a different art style]] of a horse lying with a shocked expression. Let's just say, if you watched ''Film/TheGodfather'', this scene might [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything trigger some memories]]...
20* PopularWithFurries: One of the most well-known {{closet key}}s into the fandom.
21* TearJerker: "Love's Not for Me"...
22-->''So when the race is won\
23And there's nothing left to do\
24[[LonelyAtTheTop Alone again,]]\
25But where are you?''
26** René's expression at that moment is ''heartbreaking''.
27* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Being made in 1980, most of the characters and some of the jokes are references to the pop culture of the late 70s. For example, if it was remade in the 2020s, the ex-champion swim star with a zillion gold medals would likely be an expy of Michael Phelps rather than Mark Spitz.
28* UnintentionallySympathetic: Some viewers saw Joey Gongolong’s boxing opponent Janos Brushteckel as this. Not only did Joey berate him before dishing out a brutal CurbStompBattle, but afterwards anchor Rugs Turkell wastes no time delivering him a brutal [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech recap on why he lost]], forcing him to relive his humiliating defeat, saying that he let down his coach, country, [[YourMom mother]], and himself, to the point where Janos is in tears. To add insult to injury, [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown Rugs then finishes his rant by telling Janos that he can now let him down, before proceeding to jump up and down on top of the crestfallen Janos’ head]].
29* ViewerSpeciesConfusion:
30** Most viewers mistake Tatyana Tushenko to be a ferret, mink, otter, or weasel, when she is actually stated to be a sable, a species of mustelid that’s usually overshadowed by the other mustelid species mentioned.
31** Bruce Kwokimoto is a puffin, but is usually mistaken to be a duck or penguin by viewers.
