Nightmare Fuel / Green Eggs and Ham (2019)

Go To

Here

  • Snerz's collection of animals are chained to a wall for all their lives, with their heads peeking out through small windows so that they look like living trophies. They don't seem to have any means of escape.

Car

  • The celebrating inventors are so enthralled in their partying that they claim not to hear Guy screaming. Had the Chickeraffe actually been as terrifying as the news claimed, Guy would have lived his last day.
  • Guy's Imagine Spot where he is assaulted by floating green eggs and ham, complete with superimposed human lips singing at him. It's a style shift with unsettling imagery and music, all to indicate just how close to heat stroke Guy was. The little Evil Laugh the narrator gives when he tells Guy that he's going insane doesn't help either.

Fox

  • Michael's emotional outbursts, which just come out of nowhere and feature him snarling and running around viciously with his teeth and fangs showing. His adoration of one of the farm's hens can also get unsettling considering that it's one of his triggers for freaking out and he has more than one Stalker Shrine dedicated to her.
    Guy: Our lips are sealed!
    Sam: Yes, we swear. We will not tell Sandra.
    Michael: Sandra?! She could never hear about this! (Guy and Sam slowly start to get freaked out) Because if she did... (two of his claws unsheathe as his voice becomes menacing) I don't know what I'll do...
  • The farmer's wife can also be concidered as this trope to some, the first time the audience see her. As Guy, Mr. Jenkins and Sam are slowly approaching the farm's kitchen, she's seen standing there with her back turned to the camera. She then turns around fast, holding a cleaver, and a rather scary and hostile expression. Granted, however, as she felt someone looking at her, and was probably ready to defend herself and her family against what could likely be dangerous intruders, or just scare them off. A caring parent would do anything to protect their family from danger, and the thought alone of their child being in potentional danger, is nightmare fuel for any caring parent. But her facial expression and the cleaver are still scary.

Dark

  • The idea of being trapped in a landfill is horrific, especially after Sam and Guy assumed there was a working motel to spend the night in just over the hill.
    • It gets even worse when Sam opens what he thinks is an exit chute, only to find that it is a dump for toxic waste that floods the entire gulley and starts to melt every support structure.
  • Sam positions himself under the kiddy ride he is working on. If Guy hadn't noticed the cinder blocks supporting the ride crumbling in time Sam would have been crushed.
Narrator: Guy knew that thing a-ma bob wouldn't bob, Sam wasn't cut out for this sort of a job... and if that thing falls -he'll go kur-splooit!
Guy-Am-I: Step aside and let a master do it.

Rain

  • Guy and E.B. seemingly find a nest of chickeraffes, but it turns out they're giroosters, the violent cousins of chickeraffes. What follows is a fight for their very survival. It's made worse by E.B. clarifying that they don't eat people, technically, but chew them up and blow bubbles with their remains like chewing gum. It's meant as a joke, but the mental image this can conjure up (and the fact that this very nearly does happen to E.B.) is pretty horrifying.

Goat

  • The Goat is both extremely aggressive and very difficult to stop. Plus his appearance is really unsettling with his unfocused, horizontal pupils.
    • He manages to terrify SAM-I-AM! Whether if it's because he genuinely cares for Mr. Jenkins at that point or if he knows he's being replaced as Snerz's animal poacher, his terror of the Goat proves how dangerous he is.

Anywhere

  • As Snerz grabs onto the heroes' hot-air balloon, he doesn't realize his dangling legs are ever so closer to a moving, unprotected wind turbine. Had Michellee and E.B. not used their friendship bracelets to incapacitate him to the top of the airport, Snerz would've died right then and there, possibly taking the four protagonists and Mr. Jenkins with him. He is that committed to adding the Chickaraffe to his collection.

Goldenguy

  • The Zookian investigator threatens to cut off E.B.'s face with a chainsaw to remove her "little girl disguise" while laughing maniacally.

On Her Dookess' Secret Service

The Mom Who Loved Me

  • The episode's climax includes the two nations of Yookia and Zookia shooting weapons of mass destruction at one another and getting very close to wiping off each other from the surface of the world.
