1* CommonKnowledge: No, Huck's voice is not based on Creator/AndyGriffith. While both have rural UsefulNotes/NorthCarolina accents, Creator/DawsButler actually based Huck's voice on a neighbor he used to know in Albemarle. This misconception stems from the fact that Creator/HannaBarbera tended to base their characters' voices on celebrities.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse:
3** Huck himself was the real launcher for Hanna-Barbera, but he was rarely ever a leader in group shows. Still, Huck could easily be considered one of the faves in larger group crossover shows.
4** While Huck's cartoons were mostly about him, some of his minor characters might be this to some of the fans. Wee Willie even got referenced in a later show over it.
5* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In TheSixties, Huckleberry Hound (known in Hungarian as ''Foxi Maxi'') became popular in {{UsefulNotes/Hungary}}. The scriptwriter József Romhányi wrote dialogue with puns and humor, and the most popular actors of the day supplied the voices.
6* IronWoobie: Huck spends the majority of his appearances playing ExtremeDoormat and taking slapstick abuse from the universe around him, however his mellow, easy-going nature rarely fades, even when he's indented into a nearby wall.
7* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The show was the first animated program to win an Emmy (Outstanding Children's Animated Program). It was the first of five which the Hanna-Barbera studio would win.
8* PeripheryDemographic: One of the first examples in western animation. ''Huckleberry Hound'' was a huge hit with viewers of all ages, and a large chunk of its' 16 million viewers were [[https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/whatever-happened-to-huckleberry-hound/ college students]], who adored the witty dialogue. Compare that with the college audience of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', 42 years later.
9* SignatureSong: Of a sort, but chances are that anyone who's seen this show will come to associate the song "Oh My Darling, Clementine" with it.
