** In the episode "Affairweather Friends", the title is just the beginning; the whole plot regarding Bloo hiding the fact that he's hanging out with another child plays out a lot like someone cheating on their spouse.

* CanadaEh: John Larry [=McGee=], Goofball John [=McGee=]'s creator, is a walking Canadian stereotype.

I'm not trying to defend the episode, but Disproportionate Retribution has to be intentional on the writer's part. If the audience thinks the punishment was too severe, that's Karmic Overkill (which I shall move this entry to).


* DisproportionateRetribution: Many times. One notable example is "Imposter's Home" where rather than stop Bloo from mixing dangerous chemicals, Frankie makes a bet with Bloo that it'll turn out badly. Immature, yes, but what she was put through afterwards (including being forced to miss a concert that she'd been dreaming about for months, with the final slap in the face being that everyone BUT HER got to go) would have been overkill even if she were the one playing with chemicals in the first place. Goofball was a complete {{Jerkass}} to Frankie and Mr. Herriman's treatment of her in this episode bordered on abusive.

* DistressedDrinkJitters: In "The Bloo Superdude and the Great Creator of Everything's Awesome Ceremony of Fun That He's Not Invited To", Bloo's jitteriness due to the overwhelming nature of him hallucinating himself as the titular superhero (the context being that [[FeverDreamEpisode he has a high fever]]) makes it difficult to drink the cough syrup given to him, which he briefly gripes about.

** In "Land of the Flea", Eduardo has a family of imaginary fleas living in his fur, and he's trying not to scratch. But everywhere he looks, there are people using scratch-and-sniff cards, monkeys scratching themselves in an inappropriate manner, etc.
** In "Crime After Crime", Mr. Herriman's carrot addiction leads to him punishing every friend in the house except Bloo so no one will suspect it, and when he ends up getting arrested for stealing diamonds (as he had earlier reported a theft of 100 carrots to the police, which [[FunWithHomophones they had mistaken for karats]]), he decides to quit carrots cold turkey. When Wilt gets himself arrested for standing on a rug (as Herriman had earlier punished Clumsy and Sam Burger for doing the same), he is put in the same cell as Herriman. The two are then served supper, and Herriman finds out from Wilt that they're having carrots for supper.
