- Accidental Innuendo:
- In the episode "Escape from Dino Island", one catchphrase the Silly-saurus says is "Hooty hooty hoo!" Looking up the meaning of "hooty hoo", the phrase is typically used in a not-appropriate-for-kids kind of way. Parents won't typically mind regardless, as the dinosaur doesn't use it in any suggestive way at all.
- And in the song "Birthday Birthday", the song mentions a "birthday suit", which shows Earl in a fancy suit, which may seem funny... until you realize the actual meaning of "birthday suit" in it's entirety, which could make you glad that Earl was in a fancy suit, rather than anything else.
- Adorkable: Walden's cute in appearance, as the main four and some other characters are already, and he's already shy with his secret fears.
- Awesome Music:
- The theme song, influenced by post-punk/new wave-influenced 1980s-style, is incredibly catchy and (shockingly) uplifting for such a quirky song.
- Every episode has a catchy song at the end. Some highlights include "Made by You", "Be Happy", "Mr. Cool", "Small Thing", "That's What Friends Are For", and "Beautiful World". The standout is "Sing a Song", which has the benefit of being performed by Beyoncé.
- Base-Breaking Character: Daizy. Created to increase the show's appeal, but lessened it for some.
- Bizarro Episode: "Call of the Mild", since everyone besides Wubbzy was out of character by continuously telling Wubbzy that "you should always be prepared", and Wubbzy constantly being treated like dirt.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: There's a ton of times this happens.
- For example, in "Bye Bye Wuzzleburg", Wubbzy almost gets run over by a steamroller, only for his friends to save him... and nobody even bats an eye at the fact a child almost brutally died.
- In one Jukebox Robot segment, Wubbzy guesses "Is it time to go potty!?" while doing a Potty Dance, and he doesn't even bother going to the bathroom when he says "Well, what time is it?"
- In "Happily Ever After", there's an over-the-top scene where Wubbzy and Daizy ride in a Hopperoo's pouch which is atop an alligator which is also atop an elephant riding 4 banana peels, with the Hopping Dipple Dop having several monkeys on his arms, eventually resulting in the latter crashing into a marshmallow castle, and after all that... nobody talks about it.
- Broken Aesop: Widget Gets the Blooey Blues tries to tell you It's Okay to Cry, but the song that accompanies it completely contradicts the episode. Exact lyrics of the song include; "be happy, not sad", as it's trying to tell you how bad negative emotion is. However, repressing your emotions is actually detrimental for your mental health.
- Broken Base: Fans are divided on whether or not the second season is better than the first.
- Fandom Rivalry: With Boj, as fans of WWW view the show as a rip-off, while fans of Boj claim WWW has more in common with SpongeBob SquarePants.
- Fridge Horror:
- Many wondered if Walden died from his sickness after the events of the series finale "Woozy Walden", as we never see him get better in the episode (not counting the post-episode short).
- In "Ty Ty The Tool Guy", Packy The Elephant's sneezes from having a cold is enough to power the Quackers' new house. But if it's just powered from the sneeze of the elephant, you just have to wonder what would happen if Packy's cold went away, meaning she couldn't sneeze anymore?
- Fridge Logic:
- If Wubbzy was concerned about his tail in "A Tale of Tails", why didn't he just try to tie it up or cover it with an accessory?
- Why didn't any of the gang (especially Walden, since he wears like several floaties in "Walden on the Beach") wear floaties to the pool at the end of "The Nasty Nose"? Maybe they learned how to swim without them?
- Funny Moments: See here.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: This wouldn't be the only Nick Jr. show to feature characters named Shimmer and Shine.
- Moe: Wubbzy and his friends are each precious in their own way.
- Nightmare Fuel:
- Sure, Wubbzy's Underwater Adventure may seem cutesy... that is, until you get to the last level, and see fish skeletons floating around in Wuzzlantis, implying that the Snappity-Snap Fish may have killed several fish, and all Wubbzy can do is just avoid the skeletons. What makes it worse is that you don't see the fish skeletons again in the ending, meaning that the fish actually died instead of being just reduced to skeletons. The entire premise of the game can be quite scary as well, as the entirety of Wuzzlantis was turned to stone for thousands of years, and considering that everyone is happy at the ending, it could be implied that they were consious this whole time without food or water, and are just overjoyed to be freed from eternal petrification.
- The scene where a steamroller slowly approaches Wubbzy who is stuck in cement in "Bye Bye Wuzzleburg". Sure, his friends save him, but that's really dark for a kids' show...
- Periphery Demographic: The show has a decent-sized following of teens and adults since it's so wholesome and quirky. It is especially popular with autistic people, due to Wubbzy's relatability to them.
- Retroactive Recognition: One of the writers involved in the series happens to be Suzanne Collins. Yes, really.
- Surprise Difficulty: The game Wubbzy's Amazing Adventure is this if you're going for all the bolts, since the game takes a few mechanics from Sonic the Hedgehog 1 such as when you are hit by an egg or chick, you lose a bolt.
- Sweet Dreams Fuel: The show is very adorable, silly and cutesy in tone.
- Ugly Cute: Despite the Sillysaurus' weird looking face, some people have gone to like him, hence his very silly personality.
- Unconventional Learning Experience: In some episodes, there's brief moments where a character tells Wubbzy the meaning of a word, like Daizy telling Wubbzy the meaning of the word "superstition" in "Mr. Unlucky" and the word "detective" in "Big Birthday Mystery". And it pretty much helps kids know the meaning to certain words.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Wubbzy. It doesn't help that Grey DeLisle is doing his voice, which sounds very feminine.
