* [[Better On DVD]]: Thanks to the series consisting of 9 episodes (8 of which are only 10 minutes long) that follow directly on from one another, this is definitely the case. If it weren't for the opening and closing credits splitting the episodes up, you'd could watch it as a movie.

* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|Gibbs destroying the heat shield surrounding Mercury in order to kill a billion grandparents (including ''his own'') for the sole purpose of making people realise he's not dicking around.}}
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: A ski resort. On Neptune.<ref>Which is a gas giant, if you weren't aware</ref> [[Rule of Funny]] in effect, in short.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Obviously what Gibbs is trying at. Were it not for the middle fingers and rather uncharacteristic outburst in "Mercury Falling", he'd already be there. Still, it's worth noting that he's outplayed the heroes at every. Single. ''Turn.''

* [[Rooting for The Empire]]: It's pretty easy to start rooting for Gibbs, if not outright identifying with him, especially since most of the "good guys" are total jackasses and he basically always wins in the end. In fact it may very well be the intention of the show's creators/writers that you do.

* [[Too Good to Last]]: Despite being a ratings powerhouse during its initial run, beating out several of Adult Swim's most popular shows on simultaneous premiere nights (namely ''[[The Venture Bros]]'' and ''[[Metalocalypse]]''), Seth Green dropped several hints in interviews that he would be ceasing work on the show to focus on his self-admitted [[Cash Cow Franchise]], ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', before outright spelling out the show's cancellation in August 2011. Needless to say, the fans were pissed, although the notably low-quality (and appropriately declining ratings) of ''Chicken'''s fifth season is [[Laser Guided Karma|sweet vindication]] in their eyes.
