  • Edited for Syndication: Reprints of TTT, after issues with DC Comics, featured less of the DC action figures. So some jokes going from "Oh no, I'm forced to join DC VILLAINS" (Joker, Penguin, and such) became "I'm forced to join... SPIDER-MAN VILLAINS" with Green Goblin, Electro and similar taking place of "lame" DC villains.
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: The series originally featured Marvel and DC characters, but DC Comics requested that their characters be removed from the series. The trades republishing the older stories replace the DC characters with various counterparts, with Batman and Robin making cameos in the form of Bat-Pumpkin and Squash. The writers also sometimes reference DC's cease-and-desist order in passing.
    • During the Matrix parody, the Oracle's receptionist notes that she's just the "web-savvy disabled secretary" because anything else would be too close to a DC copyright claim.
