The Emperor's New School/YMMV
- Nightmare Fuel: Show of hands, who wasn't freaked out by the skeleton ant eater? On the bright side it came with a really catchy song.
- And the Fandom Rejoiced: Patrick Warburton and Eartha Kitt reprising their roles from the movies.
- And John Goodman reprising his role in Season 2.
- Canon Sue: Malina in the first few episodes. Later on, more episodes tended to give her faults.
- Ear Worm - Vacation Time. Vacaton Time. So much fun.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny: The series reused so many jokes from the movie so many times that they became more annoying than funny.
- This is Lampshaded in one episode in which the whole "Roller Coaster Inside The Lab" joke was used so many times that it actually couldn't come up with something witty to say that hadn't been said before.
- Another Lampshade Hanging comes when Yzma struggles to think of something new to turn Kuzco into and suggests a llama. Kronk asks, "You're kidding, right?"
- Yet another Lampshade Hanging in that episode comes when Yzma tells Kronk to pull the lever, and Kronk does, causing something they've seen before to come down. He then keeps pulling the lever saying "Seen that, seen that" until they flip in. If I remember correctly that was basically a whole Lampshade Hanging episode about Kronk feeling like they're in a rut.
- This is more of an It's Been Done thing if anything but how do they keep things so fresh and funny anymore.
- This is Lampshaded in one episode in which the whole "Roller Coaster Inside The Lab" joke was used so many times that it actually couldn't come up with something witty to say that hadn't been said before.
- Ugly Cute: Baby Yzma.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: Lampshaded in Yzmopolis.
