• Awesome Music: Mark Mothersbaugh (who did music for the Klasky-Csupo cartoons on Nickelodeon, particularly Rugrats), Todd Rundgren, Danny Elfman (who worked on music for The Simpsons in its early years), The Residents, Dweezil Zappa, George Clinton, and Van Dyke Parks provided music for the show, while k.d. lang, Little Richard, and Grace Jones sang in the Christmas special.
• Non Sequitur Scene: When someone says the secret word, EVERYBODY SCREAM!
• Ho Yay: All over, but particularly Jambi, who John Paragon said he played as a "dishy gay man."
• Mind Screw
• Nightmare Fuel: If you caught it on Adult Swim, you might find it less pleasant than expected.
  • Pee-wee got his very own talking doll when the show was in its heyday. It wasn't the usual Creepy Doll, but it took a turn for the worse when you pulled the string: his trademark scream was rendered as the doll roaring at you.
• Special Effect Failure: The show had some very painful Chroma Key throughout its run. It's most obvious in "Luau for Two," when Pee-Wee does a limbo move—he literally becomes a 2-dimensional figure!
