* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: In "He Ain't Scary, He's My Brother", a punk named Roadkill threatens to tear of Frankentyke's head and spit down his neck. Humorous since as a Frankenstein's monster, this would probably only be a mild inconvenience for him.

* MeaningfulName: LoopholeAbuse: Used in "Monster on Trial", where Frankentyke and Reggie try to clear their teacher's name by spying on Miss Fresno after the trial where she falsely sued Mr. Schneider for injuring her in traffic. Neither of them can drive because Frankentyke can't reach the pedals without Schneider's platform shoes and Reggie is the only one of Schneider's class who hasn't earned his driver's license yet. When Reggie points out to Frankentyke that they need a licensed driver in the car, Frankentyke approaches a random man and asks if he has a license. After the man answers that he does, he is shocked that he is talking to a miniature Frankenstein monster and bumps his head. Frankentyke simply carries the unconscious man and puts him in the backseat, believing that having Reggie drive the car while taking a licensed driver for a ride is good enough.
