Handy Manny: Difference between revisions

* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Averted with Mrs. Portillo's pet chameleon, Maurice.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: Some of the backgrounds are ridiculously pretty for the animation style, particularly snow scenes and sunsets.

* [[Special Guest]]: Guest stars, some with recurring characters, include [[Happy Days|Marion Ross]], [[According to Jim|Jim Belushi]], Lauren Tom, Giada DeLaurentis, and Lance Bass. Yes, ''that'' [[N Sync|Lance Bass]].

* [[Squeaky Eyes]]: Played straight, used exclusively with the tools when they're all confused about something.

* [[Stock Sound Effects]]: Played with once by Dusty the saw, who used herself to imitate the sound of thunder by sharply warping her body.

* [[Strictly Formula]]: The earlier episodes, particularly in the first season, had Manny being called over by a resident to fix something while the tools learn a lesson. Recent episodes still have shades of the same formula, but they're beginning to break out of it.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Mrs. Portillo manipulates Manny into taking a needed day off in one episode.

* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: An early episode ends with Manny playing the theme song's melody on a guitar.
