Go To

  • Acting for Two: Christina Cavanaugh as Valerina and the Annoying-a-Saurus in "Tiresome Twosome".
  • Fandom Life Cycle: Whatever stage the show achieved during its run, it's definitely cooled down to Stage 6(c) by now. There's barely much of a fanbase for the show, with only a very small handful of people dedicated to preserving its memory, and nowadays The Brothers Flub is considered one of the obscurest cartoons to have aired on Nickelodeon.
  • Irony As He Is Cast: Fraz is Guapo's older brother. But Guapo's voice actor Jerry Sroka is old enough to be Scott Menville's (Fraz's voice) dad.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Only two (out-of-print) VHS releases exist with only four episodes on each and for the longest time there was almost nothing online. The entire show was on Kidobi, an obscure video website, which removed the show some time ago. A few episodes are available are iTunes. However, the episodes finally became available in 2016 when all the episodes were released on YouTube by The Brothers Flub channel; even then, though, the channel forgot to upload one of the episodes (though the missing one is available on unofficial streaming sites), so 25 of the show's 26 episodes are accessible. Averted in Chile, where a kids channel called Funbox used to rerun the show.
  • Kids' Meal Toy: Kentucky Fried Chicken had six toys based on the series at one point in 1999.
  • Release Date Change: If the copyright date in the credits is anything to go by, it was meant to premiere in 1998. It ultimately premiered in January 1999 instead.
  • Rereleased for Free: The YouTube channel uploaded most of the episodes for free.
  • Screwed by the Network: Originally meant to have debuted in 1998, it showed up in January 1999... with new episodes on (mostly) Sundays and minimal promotion even by Nickelodeon standards; it was barely rerun after its cancellation.
  • Short Run in Peru: Zig-Zagged in Poland; The show's debuted on Canal+ (a premium TV channel in Poland) on September 20th, 1999 (about nine months after the US premiere), but unlike in the USA (where the new episodes premiered on Sundays), the show's new episodes premiered in Poland on weekdays at 6:30pm with the last (26th) episode premiering on October 25th, 1999 - about two months before the show's cancellation in the US! And also unlike in the US, the show has been rerun in Poland once; all 26 episodes were rerun on Canal+ from December 29th, 1999 to February 2nd, 2000 on weekdays at 2:30pm.
  • Unspecified Role Credit: The credits list the voice actors, but don't say who voiced which character.
