  • Hilarious in Hindsight: One segment from the show featured Mark Hamill as a guest. In the skit, Goriddle has opened a business called "Change Your Image (Cheap)", and Hamill is his customer. Goriddle, who boasts previous success with Mickey Mouse (who went from being a simple rodent to a business tycoon overseeing a movie company and two amusement parks, apparently thanks to Goriddle), argues that Hamill's image, who people think he is, is Luke Skywalker, not Mark Hamill. Trying to change that image, Goriddle assists Hamill in his attempted endeavors as a comedian and a cowboy. Considering Mark Hamill would eventually become equally famous as the voice of The Joker, it's safe to say that Goriddle really did change his image!
  • Retroactive Recognition: Chris Gifford, who played Danny, would go on to co-create Dora the Explorer.
    • Kevin Clash, performer of Goriddle Gorilla, would achieve TV stardom as Elmo on Sesame Street.
    • Noel MacNeal and Pam Arciero, who performed on the show during its later years (the former taking over Knock-Knock from John Lovelady, and the latter performing two of the Huggles), would also earn roles on Sesame Street. MacNeal would go on to puppeteer on Eureeka's Castle, The Puzzle Place, and eventually, Bear in the Big Blue House.
  • Spiritual Successor: To the works of Jim Henson.
