Line 42:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Drat and double drat!" for Dick Dastardly; "And the wacky beat goes on" for the [[Narrator]]
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Muttley, most notably in "Race to Racine", where he's supposed to sabotage the Ant Hill Mob within, but ends up sabotaging Dastardly.
* [[Comic Book Adaptation]]: Seven issues by [[Gold Key Comics]], plus an appearance in ''Golden Comics Digest'' #2 and ''Hanna-Barbera Fun-In'' #5. Also two issues by [[Archie Comics]] and a few by [[DC Comics]].
** In the Gold Key issues, the cars are shown running from left to right as where they go right to left on the TV show. Also, a running gag on some stories loosely adapted from TV episodes has Penelope Pitstop managing to eliminate Peter Perfect and Red Max by getting them to fight over her. Peter's car in the Gold Key series was called the Varoom Roadster (its working name) and the Ant Hill Mob's car was the Roaring Plenty (identified in the show as such once).
* [[Contemporary Caveman]]: The Slag Brothers.
Line 81:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Naturally, Daws Butler, who is near half the headline cast of Hanna-Barbera's cartoons. Also, [[Winnie the Pooh|Tigger]] is Dick Dastardly, and [[Scooby Doo]] is Muttley.
** The Japanese dub voice of Dick Dastardly ("Black Maou" in that version) eventually went on to voice none other than [[One Piece|Gold Roger]], not to mention [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Dr. Eggman]], and even (at least in the commercials) [[Wario Land|Wario]].
** "Milk-chan" (Penelope Pitstop), would later go on to be the voices of [[Captain Harlock|Miime]], [[Doraemon|Nobita Nobi]], and [[Macross|Claudia LaSalle]].
* [[Honour Before Reason]]: Peter Perfect tends to help out anyone who's been sabotaged. Especially Penelope.
** He even helps Dastardly in "The Super Silly Swamp Sprint," albeit after pulling him and Muttley out of the alligator-filled swamp he throws them and their car in the back of the pack (only to be catapulted from a tree into the front).
Line 90:
* [[Leitmotif]]: Dick Dastardly had a very prominent theme, which played in pretty much every episode whenever he pulled a trick on the other racers. Penelope Pitstop also had a far less played motif as well.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]
* [[Literal
** Muttley was also prone to this from time to time; when Dick Dastardly is trapped on the spray from a whale's blowhole in "Eeny Miney, Missouri Go!", he tells Muttley, "Do something! Anything!" Whereupon Muttley proceeds to do a tap dance... which does qualify as doing something, just not something relevant.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
