- Accidental Innuendo: H.R.'s explanation for why the witch tried to capture Jimmy in the first episode: "You must have something she wants, and she can be pretty grabby."
- Harsher in Hindsight: After being in such a drug-associated series, Jack Wild became a serious alcoholic which destroyed his career and contributed to his death at 53.
- Les Yay: Not least, perhaps, between Witchiepoo and Witch Hazel (Cass Elliot) in the movie.
- Love to Hate: Like most Krofft series, the villain Witchipoo and her Quirky Miniboss Squad of assistants is the real draw of the series (as a Big Ham more than anything else), with the nominal heroes only mildly of interest.
- Periphery Demographic: Guess which one. That's right. Stoners.
- This Is Your Premise on Drugs: It's just a question of which one, really.
- Viewer Species Confusion: Judging from the Wikipedia page, some people mistook the Ants for "crustaceans". More bizarrely, they class them as a separate species to the Hippie Ants.
