  • Acting for Two:
    • Dana Snyder voices Principal Thunderbyte, Mr. Dreadnot, the janitor of Harry S. Apocalypse High, three news anchors (as seen in the episodes "Play Date," "Field of Screams," and "Nana's Run"), and several one-shot characters.
    • Gilbert Gottfried voiced all of the Tickle Me Psycho dolls in the fourth episode.
  • Invisible Advertising: It didn't get that much advertising when it aired, outside of being mentioned in commercials for the Monday night line-up, along with Adventure Time, MAD, and Regular Show.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Averted. Despite its obscurity, all the episodes are still available for viewing on a number of legal streaming sites, which is more than can be said for some of Cartoon Network's other short-lived series like Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?.
  • No Export for You: This series holds the dubious honor of being one of the very few CN originals to not be broadcast anywhere outside of the United States note  because of the heavy amount of violence featured.
  • Screwed by the Network: The series was basically dead on arrival due to Cartoon Network not seeing the point in pushing a show that no one outside the United States wanted to touch. The only reason this show did well in the ratings in its native country was from word-of-mouth, since the network rarely promoted the series outside of general Monday night line-up ads that mostly promoted Regular Show, Adventure Time, and MADnote . It's not as bad as other shows that have been screwed over for lesser reasons, but sadly, it wasn't enough to keep the show afloat. Cartoon Planet did air some episodes, and Netflix had the entire series uploaded for those who may have missed it the first time around.
