* SelfDeprecation: While the segments that feature parents and MoralGuardians are mainly examples of TakeThat, some of them also border on the cartoon making fun of itself.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Expy}}: Quite a few of the characters are based on other ones.
** Patty Putty may be one of Plastic Man due to having stretching abilities.
** It's hard to deny that Split Kit may have been inspired by the Batman villain Two-Face, since his face, hair, and clothes are asymmetrical and his left side is evil-looking.

* InNameOnly: The series actually uses very few of the characters from the card series. (They even seem to waste golden opportunities to insert them in. If we could list them all we'd need a new page...) It doesn't even use Adam Bomb, the most iconic of the card series. And when they do appear, they tend to only have one appearance. It doesn't help that their designs are often toyed with to make them less easy to recognize.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:
