  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • Perhaps the reason Plex is the only puppet character who doesn't seem like a kid is because he's a robot and thus doesn't have any developing to do.
    • Muno is possibly supposed to resemble a red cactus, due to his land being a purple desert.
  • Funny Moments: Has its own page.
  • Memetic Mutation:
  • Moment of Awesome: A video shown at DJ Lance Rock's solo concert appearances reveals just how he became the protector of Gabbaland... in the style of a 70's tokusatsu show.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Plex manages to "die" three times. He gets hit by a snowball in "Careful", runs out of battery power in "Robot", and gets knocked over by Brobee in "Friends". While he is a robot, it could distress younger fans. He comes back every time.
  • Periphery Demographic: Come for the indie rock band cameos, stay for the surrealism! They've marketed specifically to the periphery demographic; there are shoes, t-shirts and designer toys intended solely for adults.
  • Quirky Work: When Time TV critic James Poniewozik reviewed the show, he stated that it would "convince you that someone slipped something into your Fruity Pebbles."note  Co-creator Christan Jacobs is a conservative Mormon, and drugs are, quite literally, against his religion.
  • Squick: In one episode, a girl's "cool trick" was playing a recorder with her nose. It's not really worse than playing it with your mouth when you think about it, but it's still weird.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The shortening of the theme song in the fourth season sorta sparked this review from some fans. While most fans liked the shortened version, there were others that didn't.
  • Unfortunate Character Design: It has been noted among several viewers that Muno looks a lot like a giant dildo. Gooble has also been said to resemble a tampon.
