Line 15:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Like any 1990s kids' cartoon, this show had its share of sexually suggestive jokes (the ''first episode'' included Dr. Vic reading a book of pick-up lines to use on women and a scene of Igor, Dr. Vic, and Phil drooling over a [[Sexy Silhouette]] of a woman showering...until they draw back the curtain and find the Darla Doiley doll ready to kill him). Unlike any 1990s kids' cartoon, this cartoon also had a lot of dark humor and jokes about [[Amusing Injuries]] (again, the first episode had a scene of a previous customer wanting to return his Darla Doiley doll because she had put an axe through his head. Igor and the clerk laugh at the man before he angrily tosses the doll and leaves).
** Lampshaded in the episode with Doc's {{spoiler|natural}} werewolf grandmother. Phil suggests that they simply deal with her via the trademark silver bullet, and [[No Fourth Wall|Igor sharply reminds him]] [[Think of the Censors|this is a kids show]].
* [[Gross -Out Show]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] - [[Brad Garrett]] as Phil, [[Seinfeld|Wayne Knight]] as Igor, and [[Nancy Cartwright]] (using the voice she now uses for Nelson Muntz on ''[[The Simpsons]]'') as Melissa Screetch
** On the episode, "Darla Doiley: Demon Doll," the voice of the toy store clerk is the always-cast and always-versatile [[Billy West]] -- whose character sounds EXACTLY like Professor Farnsworth ([[Hilarious in Hindsight|even though "Futurama" didn't premiere until 1999 and Toonsylvania came out in 1998]]).
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Unlike Steven Spielberg's other cartoons (''Animaniacs'', ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', etc) this (and ''[[Histeria (Animation)|Histeria]]'') haven't been put on DVD nor have they appeared in reruns on cable TV or online on any video sites.
Line 25:
** On "Love Potion Number Nein!" Dr. Vic has his body and hair wrapped up in towels the way a woman would have it.
* [[Right Behind Me]]: From "Baby Human," Dr. Vic, Igor, and Phil are searching for the cannibal baby Igor created in the basement. The baby lands on Dr. Vic's head as Dr. Vic is yelling at Igor, then Dr. Vic panics until he realizes "The baby's on my head, isn't it?"
* [[Shout -Out]] - Igor once greets a rival mad scientist's assistant with a disgusted "Hello, Renfield." [[Seinfeld|A very familiar guitar strain plays]]. Wayne "Newman" Knight, of course, voiced Igor.
* [[Space Whale Aesop]] - The entire point of the Melissa Screech segments. Stay out past curfew? You get abducted and eaten by a monster! Make funny faces all the time? Your face will fuse permanetly into the funny face and you're forced to star in B horror flicks to get by! Disobey an instruction? ''You spark a cataclysmic war between Earth and an alien race!'' Spoil your appetite with sweets? You'll waste away to an atom or get blown like paper in the wind.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Phil Likes chili.
