Accidentally-Correct Writing: A later episode has Johnny distracted by a Where's Waldo? spoof called Where’s Wally?. That’s actually the original UK title for the Where’s Waldo? series.
Acting for Two: The Danish dub had Lars Thiesgaard as the voice of both Scooby and Johnny in the Scooby-Doo crossover.
Adored by the Network: When the show was under Gary Hartle and Kirk Tingblad's direction, the show's audience expanded and as a result became one of the most aired shows during the Cartoon Cartoons block that it allowed the show to be carried on to another season.
Approval of God: Both William Hanna and Joseph Barbera liked the Scooby-Doo crossover episode "Bravo Dooby-Doo!" for being both funny as well as bringing out new ideas for a Scooby-Doo project with the intention of avoiding as many clichés as possible. It helps that Van Partible asked for Barbera's authenticity to make sure the episode was done right.
The episode "Bootman" was pulled from reruns after 9/11 due to it featuring a scene of a super-powered Johnny tossing an airplane and causing it to crash.
Similarly, episodes 9, 10 and 11 were not seen for a while after 9/11, for reasons probably related to that event. In later reruns, however, the episodes returned to air.
Creator Backlash: Van Partible disliked the changes that were made to the show's second and third seasons, where Gary Hartle and Kirk Tingblad replaced the fired Partible as the showrunners. In an article where he explained his disappearance after season 1, he compared his firing and having his show being taken over by another director as being forced to give up your baby for adoption and watching it go to parents who were making choices that you didn't agree with.
Creator's Favorite Episode: Van Partible has hinted that "Bravo-Dooby Doo" was his favorite episode due to the episode premise being one of his first ideas once he was got started on the first season since he's a huge Scooby-Doo fan, as well as the fun behind the production. Throughout his time working on the show, his favorite moment in the recording booth was directing Casey Kasem to voice Shaggy in the episode.
The Danza: An early episode featured TV talk show host/supermodel/superhero Vendela, voiced by Norweigan-Swedish model and actress Vendela Kirsebom. Like the other examples of Celebrity Star, this doubles a highly(?) fictionalized version of As Himself.
Executive Meddling: Van Partible's disappearance after the first season was long rumored to be because of his firing, which Partible finally did confirm. This took place during the very turbulent attempt at merging Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. Animation. Even though he was let go because of his lack of management skills in production, Partible to this day isn't entirely sure what made them decide to fire him.
Wendy's had a set of five toys in 1999. There was a toy of Johnny weightlifting, a bowling game, sunglasses, a wallet, and a watch.
Subway had a set of four toys in 2001. There was an articulated figure of Johnny, a microphone, a comb and mirror, and a spinning toy with film reels.
No Export for You: The TV movie Johnny Bravo Goes to Bollywood never aired in the US, despite the show being an American series. It aired in Asia, Latin America, and Europe, but the DVD release of it only made it to Germany, Spain and Thailand.
BJ Ward replaces Marla Frumkin as Velma in "Bravo Dooby Doo", due to her retirement from voice acting at that point.
Hadley Kay replaces Don Messick as Scooby Doo for "Bravo Dooby Doo" and "Twas the Night" due to Don's retirement a year prior to the start of the series after suffering a stroke and subsequent death the year the show premiered.
Frank Welker takes over as Speed Buggy starting with his appearance in "Bravo Dooby Doo" due to Mel Blanc's passing in 1989.
James Arnold Taylor replaces Greg Burson as Huckleberry Hound due to Burson's arrest and retirement from voice acting in 2003 (a year before "Back on Shaq" premiered).
Pop-Culture Urban Legends: There is a clip circulating around the internet from "The Man Who Cried "Clown!"" in which Johnny pulls out a female clown who honks at him seductively, and then takes her to the airplane bathroom where it is implied through squeaky sound effects that they're having sex. This is frequently posted as a Getting Crap Past the Radar moment. In actuality, this is a spliced clip of two separate scenes. The female clown was actually a decoy for an antagonistic male clown, and the bit involving the bathroom is actually Johnny taking said male clown to beat him up in a Battle Discretion Shot.
Real-Life Relative: In "The Unsinkable Johnny Bravo", the older Little Suzy is voiced by Pat Musick, the mother of her regular voice actress Mae Whitman.
Johnny Bravo Goes to Bollywood, an animated film produced years after the series ended its run and released exclusively overseas, had Jeff Bennett and Brenda Vaccaro reprise their respective roles as Johnny Bravo and his mother Bunny Bravo.
While the first season was very well received, it ended up doing poorly in the ratings next to shows in the Cartoon Cartoons block such as Cow and Chicken and Dexter's Laboratory, which caused the show to be put on hiatus for two years and it rarely ever aired, until it was renewed for a second season and went under the new direction of Gary Hartle and Kirk Tingblad due to the show's creator Van Partible being fired by Cartoon Network.
By the fourth season, the show was rarely aired unless there was a new episode and the show wasn't advertised as much as other Cartoon Network shows on at the time. The only other places you could catch the show were The Cartoon Cartoon Show and Top 5. There would sometimes be reruns in the wee-hours of the morning, but it would often be replaced with something else.
Boomerang decided to return the show to their schedule in 2018. If the fact that the show only aired in a very early morning graveyard slot wasn't bad enough, the channel skipped a ton of episodes and dropped it after 11 days.
Word of God: According to Van Partible, Johnny does occasionally have success with women, but since that wouldn't be as entertaining we only get to see his failures.
