- Captain Bones: The skeleton pirate Captain Bones uses his bones to make puzzles to save him 'from going stark ravin' mad.' Many puzzles consist of incorrect math problems that need to be solved (e.g. 1 + 1 = 3 changes to 1 + 1 = 2 by moving one bone on the 3) or puzzles that need to be arranged to make another image (e.g. 5 squares need to be changed to 4 squares).
- Dirty Pictures: Similar to Haunted House Party, the viewer must figure out who the most well-known person is by watching parts of a picture in a museum dusted off by a maid and reading the museum keeper's cue cards.
- Distraction News: In this recurring game of staying focused, Dora Smarmy, the cardboard cut-out anchorperson, tells the news of a particular topic while nonsensical distractions run amok onscreen. After talking about the topic, she asks the viewers five questions about the topic.
- Ear We Are: In this game, the viewers need to listen to sounds and figure out what thing or place two different disembodied human ears are thinking about. This game rarely appeared in the series. When it did, it would usually be the last game.
- Eddie Bull: At the Walla-Walla Washington Zoo, a boy named Eddie Bull (a pun on 'edible'), is swallowed whole by an unseen animal and gives the viewers clues (trivial facts about an animal) to have them figure out what animal swallowed him alive. After he tells the viewer what the animal is, he manages to come out alive in the end, usually due to 'going back the way (he) came'.
- Haunted House Party: At a haunted house party, a famous dead person is the special guest whose silhouette is seen through windows. The viewers have to listen to the person's historical facts and figure out who he/she is. Right before the person reveals who they are, the narrator stops him/her and recaps on the facts about that person.
- Lens McCracken: In order to figure out what happened in a crime scene, a bumbling, self-proclaimed 'ace' photo snoop named Lens McCracken shows the viewers three different things that are zoomed in very closely and has them figure out what those things are. Sometimes they close the episode with this game.
- Mug Shots: Verity Pins, a New Yorkish detective, gets four suspects pinned down for lying and allows the viewers to spot which three are guilty by listening to their lies. The suspect who says something truthful and trivial is innocent.
- Paige and Sage: In one minute, the viewers must find ten differences between two panels. Both panels have the same background, but both Barbie doll girls have the differences in their own panels. This game rarely appeared in the series. When it did, it was usually the last game.
- Poop or Scoop: A sideshow caller, whose arms and cane are only seen, shows four different animals and a fact that relates to each one. If one fact is true, viewers would choose 'SCOOP.' If false, they choose 'POOP.' This was the only game in the series that has rankings on how many questions the viewers answered correctly. If the viewers got only one answer right, the rank is 'Party Pooper', if they got two right, the rank is 'Pooper Scooper', if three, the rank is 'Super Pooper Scooper', if all four questions are answered correctly, the rank is 'Super Duper Pooper Scooper'.
- Psycho Math: Prof. Rocket, the robotic host with a crazy persona, lets viewers solve equations by showing pictures that represent a particular number (e.g. Number of letters of the alphabet = 26, Number of days in a week = 7). Three pictures are placed in the first three boxes with a question mark in the fourth box (e.g. # x # - # = ?). Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs are used randomly. Order of operations is not taken into consideration.
- Radio Scramble: At KBOX, 'Jumpin' Johnny Jumble', an anthropomorphic microphone and radio host, plays tunes to let the viewers figure out what words the jumbled letters really make. The music will always relate to the unscrambled word (for example, if the original, unscrambled word was 'mouse', the tune might be about how a 'soume' kept squeaking). The beginning and end always show off an example of mixing the word 'jumble' (e.g. meljub). In occasions, he disguises himself as another person to broadcast either sports, weather, or traffic.
- Revolting Slob: In every episode, an offscreen female narrator (on the episode when revolting slob gets sick, before the second question, she sneezes and revolting slob offers his germy tissue, that's when her hand is seen. Her skin is white, and she has red fingernails. Also, when revolting slob eats a lot of beans and the narrator want him to eat healthier and puts a box of full grain cereal, that is when her hand is seen again. Her skin is white and has non-colored fingernails.) teaches the viewers three new vocabulary words based on a revolting slob's (literally named the Revolting Slob) behaviors and actions. Multiple choices are given before the correct word is revealed. In the end, one word explained from the third multiple choice section has to do with the Revolting Slob exploding into nothingness, and the narrator closes the episode with 'No slobs (and any other living thing) were harmed in the filming of this show.' Usually, they begin the show with this game.
- Riddle-Snake: After the Riddle-Snake plays a tune which brings up a riddle, viewers are given time to figure out the riddle before a man who never opens his eyes appears and gives the answer. When seen, usually it is the last game they play before the episode ends.
- Sketch Pad: On his sketch pad, an artist named Sketch draws pictures that tell a story and omits a picture so the viewers try to figure out what really happened before the final picture of the story is revealed. The story is usually in the form of a lateral thinking puzzle.
- Ten Seconds: A game where viewers must figure out the answers to a series of Rebus puzzles each within ten seconds. (2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd = Ten Seconds. Hence, the title). Sometimes they close the episode with this game.
- Think Tank: Captain Bob, a Jamaican submarine driver, is stuck in a large fish tank. Before all the water in the tank goes down the drain and the sub reaches the ground, the viewers need to figure out what three given things have in common. Each episode consists of two rounds. This game was played in almost every episode in the series.
- Word Shake: In this game similar to Mad Gab, a French chef takes two to three words together and forms them into another word that sounds like the two to three words (or letters) said together. This game rarely appeared in the series, when it did, they almost always close the episode with this game.

In the late 90's, HBO broadcast an Edutainment Show from Canada called Crashbox. The show was a bunch of skits held together by the game console (the titular Crashbox). Most of the skits were in Stop Motion (with a few exceptions). The show lasted for 2 years and 2 seasons, totaling 39 episodes. It is still shown on HBO Family in reruns.
This series provides examples of:
- Alliterative Name: Jumpin' Johnny Jumble of Radio Scramble.
- Always Identical Twins: Paige and Sage.
- And I Must Scream: Captain Bones is cursed to sail the seven seas forever, even after his body has rotted away. And he'll tell ya', he's bored stiff. The only thing that saves him from going stark-raving mad is making up math puzzles using nothing but his own bones.
- Animals Hate Him: Eddie Bull will always get eaten by the resident of whatever cage he's standing next to. According to them, it's because he's just so damn delicious.
- Animate Body Parts: The ears of 'Ear We Are'.
- Attention Deficit.. Ooh, Shiny!: The whole point of Distraction News.
- Artistic License – Biology: Eddie Bull, where all animals eat their prey by shrinking them whole and carrying them through in one piece. Or maybe it's just Eddie that who that happens to, the show isn't clear.
- Artsy Beret: Sketch Pad, whose segment revolves around, well, sketching pictures on his sketch pad, has one.
- Art Shift: While some of the games are of stop motion, Sketch Pad, Like Totally Paige and Sage, Ear We Are, Haunted House Party, Mug Shots, Lens McCracken, Revolting Slob, and Word Shake have their own styles.
- Badass Longcoat: Lens presumably has one of these; one hangs outside his office along with a fedora.
- Beatnik: Sketch Pad, ya dig?
- Big Boo's Haunt: Haunted House Party is set outside of a haunted house.
- Butt-Monkey: He's pretty chipper in spite of it, but Eddie Bull's simply too appetizing for animals to resist. The poor fella gets eaten and (presumably) spat back out every episode.
- Character Title: Some of the segments: Eddie Bull, Lens McCracken, Paige and Sage, Sketch Pad, Captain Bones, Revolting Slob..
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Some of the segments vanished in Season 2. Somewhat Justified in that the characters never interact anyway, meaning it'd be impossible to acknowledge their disappearances.
- Conviction by Contradiction: The whole premise of 'Mug Shots'. The criminals who state a fact correctly have a solid alibi and go home free. The ones who mess up are guilty.
- Cool Teacher: Professor Rocket from Psycho Math.
- Darker and Edgier: In comparison to other edutainment shows. Being on HBO, a premium service, meant they could get away with a lot more.
- Dem Bones: Cptn. Bones, which he uses to create Math Puzzles.
- Department of Redundancy Department: Something of a Running Gag with Lens McCracken; he loves naming his cases 'Case of the Broken Teapot Case' and the like.
- Disco Dan: Jumpin' Johnny Jumble, radio host of KBOX, of Radio Scramble. Possibly 1950s Rock & Roll.
- Eaten Alive: Eddie Bull, and his game, run around this.
- Eccentric Mentor: Professor Rocket from Psycho Math.
- Every Episode Ending: All the Revolting Slob segments end with one word related to explosions or mortality being described and the Slob blowing up. The announcer then says, 'No slobs were harmed in the making of this program.'
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Almost all of the games have names that are part of the game.
- Fat Slob: The Revolting Slob. Slob's in his name, but he is also fat.
- Framing Device: The actual Crashbox is a Framing Device for the games.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: The criminals' descriptions under their photos in 'Mug Shots' are hardly ever straightforward.
- Gasshole: The Revolting Slob.
- Ghost Pirate: Captain Bones.
- Gratuitous French: The French Chef in Word Shake.
- Great Detective: Verity from Mug Shots and Lens McCracken from the game with the same name view themselves as this.
- They each might be considered a Defective Detective, particularly Lens because his close-ups are so obnoxious. Verity is less so, but really, if a grown woman can't figure out that, say, 'influenza' is not a flower, she's been hitting the police station sludge too hard.
- Grossout Show: To a small extent. Most parts of the show are tame, but there's still some cheap humor obviously geared to boys. Especially apparent in 'Revolting Slob' and the title 'Poop or Scoop'.
- Has Two Thumbs and..: In Haunted House Party, you're given clues to guess which famous person is at the party. In Dirty Pictures, you're given clues to guess whose painting is being cleaned.
- Insane Troll Logic: Lens McCracken makes heavy use of this when solving his cases. Once he figures out what his photos are of, he'll figure out something zany and farfetched as to how they relate to the crime at hand.Lens: I should have known it from the start. It seems that our client got caught in the classic mushroom-manhole cover-toothbrush scam.
- Instrumental Theme Tune: And a very spooky one at that. Subverted in Eddie Bull's segment, which opens with a little song about how he's just so edible.
- Made of Explodium: The Revolting Slob always gets blown up at the end of each segment.
- Mad Scientist: Professor Rocket is strongly implied to be not entirely there.
- Meaningful Name: Captain Bones, Eddie Bull, The Revolting Slob, Lens McCracken, Verity, The Riddle Snake, and Dora Smarmy.
- Mindscrew: The distractions of the game Distraction News.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Captain Bones is a Pirate, and a Skeleton!
- No-Dialogue Episode: Dirty Pictures as a whole is one for Crashbox.
- No OSHA Compliance: Okay, what kind of zoo would let a person named Eddie Bull get swallowed by animals of any kind? Even animals possibly smaller than him might not be able to eat him at all. Also the entire box in general, which might look a bit crowded with all the metallic machinery.
- Nose Nuggets: In one of the Revolting Slob skits, the Slob 'sneezes into his hand and dines on the contents'
- Not in Front of the Kid: Julius Caesar references it in a Haunted House Party sketch. The butler asks if he can take Julius' toga; the response is, 'You do and we'll be rated.'
- Once per Episode: Every episode, no matter how the segments fall, the power will always go out in the Crashbox, and the operator with have to restart the system. This also happens before the first segment.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Jumpin' Johnny Jumble's 'other staff' which he dresses up as to do the sports and weather segments on KBOX. He often forgets which voice he's supposed to talk in.
- Pungeon Master:
- Lens McCracken, who always makes obvious puns about the close-ups he's examining despite having no idea what they're close-ups of.
- The Riddle Snake, whose riddles are more often than not simply puns.
- Punny Name: Eddie Bull specifically.
- Puzzle Game: Captain Bones (Who's literally nothing but Bones) uses his bones to make Math Puzzles.
- Riddle Me This: The Riddle Snake game is this.
- Rogues Gallery: Parodied with the outrageous criminals Verity interrogates in 'Mug Shots'.
- Running Gag: In every episode of 'Revolting Slob', Revolting Slob always explodes at the end of the segment.
- Shout-Out: The 'Ten Seconds' game seems a bit similar to the game show Catch Phrase, in that they both relay on animated, rebus-style word puzzles.
- Squiggle Vision: Sketch Pad.
- Swallowed Whole: This happens to Eddie Bull all the time. He's used to it by now.
- Talking with Signs: How the man in Dirty Pictures administers his hints.
- Talk Like a Pirate: Captain Bones, of course.
- Third-Person Person: Professor Rocket occasionally lapses into this.
