Trivia

 * Adored by the Network: Warner Bros. treats CtSB the same way it treats several of their other main franchises such as Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, DC Comics, The Matrix, Mad Max, Wizarding World and Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, often airing its shows on Cartoon Network, WB Kids and Boomerang in a regular basis, TBD.
 * Author Existence Failure: Oscar Hamilton passed away on December 1st, 2018, leaving the series without one of his co-creators.
 * Big Name Fan:
 * When Warner Bros. approached him to develop Full Speed, Greg Weisman revealed he was a big fan of the series and the fact they picked him to develop the series was something he wished for TBD.
 * On the other side, Oscar and Tadaki were both fans of Gargoyles and had Weisman as one of their top choices to develop the series.
 * Buffy the Vampire Slayer ' creator, Joss Whedon has revealed to be a big fan of the series.
 * [real-life cartoon creators, if you have ideas, Green]
 * Rebecca Sugar, before creating Steven Universe, was already a fan of the series and she often dreamed of working for the series.
 * She has also drawn R34 art of it, especially of Collin/Evelynn. Some examples included them making out next to a tree while the others are searching for them, TBD.
 * Ed Boon has admitted to liking CtSB despite the MK-CtSB rivalry.
 * Jacksepticeye, MatPat, Markiplier, JonTron, Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd have all revealed to be huge fans of Collin the Speedy Boy.
 * Cash Cow Franchise: since CtSB is by far one of the most popular WBIE franchises aside from Mortal Kombat, The Dinosaur Princess, Good Ol' Magic and Howler, it has been considered the cash cow for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, spawning a LOT of merchandise, two TV shows (Full Speed and The Chronicles of Collin the Speedy Boy), a theatrical film along with some direct-to-video films, and several spin-offs, including a non-canon spin-off series (Artificial Leagues). Not bad for Warner Bros.' first ever video game series.
 * Celebrity Voice Actor:
 * The series generally averts this for its main and supporting characters as the developers prefer to cast professional voice actors for those due to their longtime experience on that field and also due to budget issues.
 * Downplayed for some celebrity voices in supporting roles as most of them regularly have voice acting as their secondary career (most notably Mark Hamill as Sir Victor).
 * The CGI movie adaption naturally had this for the series' characters.
 * Channel Hop:
 * The game series had five developers during its run. Out of those five, three were external: Iguana Entertainment for the first two games, Infogrames for the early 3D games and Eurocom after 2005. With Eurocom's bankruptcy in 2012, future games' development started to be made in-house: first with WB Games Montréal and then with Avalanche Software shortly after Warner Bros. acquired it from Disney.
 * Streaming rights for both Full Speed and Chronicles moved from Hulu to HBO Max on May 27th, 2020.
 * Creator's Favorite: both Oscar and Tadaki regarded Collin as their favorite character on it.
 * Dawson Casting: Collin and his human friends, despite being teenagers, were always voiced by adults, even with their consequent recasts.
 * As an example, when Full Speed came out, Quinton Flynn (Collin and Zane) was 39, Scott Menville (Tommy) was 32, Carlos Alazraqui (Cooper and Ugly) was 41, James Arnold Taylor (Trent) was 34, Will Friedle (WesDragon) was 27 and Kath Soucie (Evelynn and Kelsie) was 36.
 * Same can be said to Aurelie, Maddie and Sara since, back in 2003, Jennifer Hale was 31, Tara Strong was 30 and Hynden Walch was 32.
 * Same for Matthew Mercer since he was 31 when he replaced Quinton Flynn as Collin and Zane in 2013.
 * Dueling Works: with Sonic the Hedgehog, naturally.
 * Executive Meddling: TBD
 * Fake American: although not necessarily set in the United States, it is worth to point out that main cast member Eric Bauza and supporting cast members Jennifer Hale, Tara Strong and Maurice LaMarche were all born in Canada.
 * Averted with main cast member Carlos Alazraqui and supporting cast members Alanna Ubach, Maria Canals-Barrera and Janice Kawaye, since, despite their ethnicity (Hispanic for the first three and Japanese for the latter), they were all born in the United States.
 * Fake Nationality: Kath Soucie falls on this since, despite Evelynn being of mixed ancestry (Hispanic and Caucasian), she is fully Caucasian.
 * Fan Nickname:
 * Some fans like to call Collin, "Sonic but he's human".
 * CollinBob SpeedyPants from some SpongeBob fans, due to its supposed popularity, humor and the memes they both spawn.
 * However, this also annoyed some fans from both media due to their different tones, with some SpongeBob fans considering Howler a fairer SpongeBob of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and due to Looney Tunes already serving as its general Warner Bros. counterpart to the show due to their status as pop culture icons and mascots, while some CtSB fans prefer to be compared to Danny Phantom, Avatar or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles instead, considering they're more action-oriented Nicktoons.
 * [related with Guardians of the Galaxy, Futurama and Persona (because talking mascot) for Space Rangers]
 * God Does Not Own This World: one of the main reasons why the series kept going after Oscar Hamilton's death and Tadaki Fujiyama's departure, since despite creating the series' characters and concepts, Warner Bros. Entertainment is the copyright holder for it, allowing them to continue the series, although their successor was personally picked by them and not by the company.
 * Outlived Its Creator: unfortunely, this happened after Oscar Hamilton passing away in 2018.
 * Playing Against Type:
 * Some episodes of Full Speed and Chronicles are this for Greg Weisman since they are generally more comedic and more of a slice-of-life rather than the usual actiony TBD he usually does.
 * Playing Gertrude: Grey Griffin was this to Bryte until 2009 since she was 27 when she took that role over from the late Mary Kay Bergman.
 * Mary Kay Bergman herself was also this until 1997 since she was 34 by the time Collin the Speedy Boy 2 came out.
 * Promoted Fanboy: [KJ Apa]
 * Release Date Change: TBD
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions:
 * Oscar Hamilton was aware of CtSB porn and adult fanfics and he was not surprised with it, although still disturbed at it considering most of the series' human characters are underaged, and affirmed that "every fandom has its perverted fans, Collin ' ain't exception".
 * When he found out that Stella McDonnell made some, he had a little talk with her, saying "Would you like if they did the same with your characters?", with Stella jokingly replying "I already do that".
 * When Fujiyama discovered CtSB adult material and fics, including ones made by Stella, he was rather TBD about it, but much like Hamilton, he tolerates it, even if not necessarily supportive of it.
 * While not necessarily favorable to it, Oscar's widow Madison McDougal-Hamilton is tolerant about it, since she understands such things are also part of the fandom and they can't actually stop those fans from doing it.
 * Current developer Ryan Curcwald is more open-minded about it and he said to be okay with it, but warns that he doesn't support any kind of adult art or fanfiction where the characters are under 18, calling it "sick and disgusting"
 * Of course, Warner Bros. isn't fond of this and threatened to take down some websites that featured TBD.
 * Technology Marches On: TBD
 * The Character Ice Cream Bar: Blue Bunny released an ice of Collin's face with green gumball eyes.
 * The Other Darrin: over the run of the series, there were a few recasts:
 * Due to Mary Kay Bergman's unfortunate suicide in late 1999, Bryte was eventually recasted with Grey Griffin, who also inherited the role of Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo from her.
 * When Collin Returns was first released, the game was dedicated in loving memory of her. Most of Bryte's dialogue on it featured her voice, although some additional dialogue already featured Grey's voice.
 * In 2013, Quinton Flynn stepped down as the voice of Collin and Zane, with Matthew Mercer assuming his roles. Despite initial backlash from fans, they quickly warmed to the new voice.
 * The CGI film adaption counted with celebrity voices rather than their regular voices.
 * Voices in One Room: Warner Bros. has favored this standard since its creators and voice director (initially Andrea Romano and then ) believe it makes the characters' dialogue to sound more natural and realistic. This also allows the voice actors to ad-lib their lines, although also giving origin to a series of outtakes.
 * Grey Griffin once joked that "be glad that you only hear the finalized version. Because if we showed what happens behind the scenes, we'd be busted".
 * What Could Have Been:
 * Before settling on Collin, Oscar and Tadaki toyed with several concepts for the protagonist, including a British aviator who flies a WWI-styled plane, a feminine flower, an opossum (eventually became Tommy), a figure who looks like Abraham Lincoln with an axe, a female satyr and a little girl with a pet tiger frog hybrid.
 * After deciding on Collin, Oscar and Tadaki had a few concepts for the villain, including a parasitic hive mind, a vulture with flaming wings, a crazy jackal made out of bones, an evil black dragon, an elemental lion, a humanoid chameleon and a punk girl who has a mind controlling guitar. Eventually, they settled on a three-eyed bird who would become Bryte.
 * Some of these ended up to appear as different characters in other media.

YMMV

 * Abandon Shipping: when Courtnei and Jayden were first introduced, some fans started to play with the idea of pairing either with either Collin, Trent or Wes. However, that eventually was canned when the developers confirmed that there is indeed a thing going on between both of them.

 * Alternative Character Interpretation: TBD
 * Awesome, Dear Boy:

 * Awesome Music: TBD
 * Banned in China: The franchise was banned in some countries where LGBT is considered a crime, most notably in several African and Middle Eastern countries (excluding some cases like South Africa and Israel).
 * Ironically, the franchise was not banned in Russia, despite its laws.
 * Base-Breaking Character:
 * Tommy is this since some fans find him completely annoying.
 * While plenty of fans love Evelynn, some fans find her rather bitchy and TBD.
 * Aurelie tends to be loved by fans due to TBD, but some fans dislike her for her supposed stupidity.
 * Bryte tends to be hated by her sadistic and near psychopathic nature, but most fans love her due to being a competent and feared vilainess.
 * Fans (especially LGBT fans) loved Courtnei and Jayden due to being an example of a positive and natural same-sex relationship, yet there are fans who hate them since they think they're just added just to "push an agenda" and pandering to SJWs.
 * Both Hamilton and Fujiyama denied those accusations and even consulted LGBT people and organizations in order to make their relationship the most natural possible.
 * Best Known for the Fanservice: both fans and non-fans agree that most human females on it are pretty attractive, aside from occasionally featuring fetishes like TBD.
 * Broken Base:
 * [SJWs and politically correct/cancel culture trying to force "muh diversity" and take off violent stuff on it]
 * Cargo Ship: TBD
 * Complete Monster: TBD
 * Crack Pairing:
 * Tommy/Cooper. The less we talk about it, the better it is.

 * Crossover Ship:
 * There are some crossover pairings in the fandom like Collin/Ashton, Collin/Charlotte, Collin/Kitrina, Collin/Miranda, Collin/​Cassie Cage​, Collin/Jacqui Briggs, Trent/Kitrina, WesDragon/Gayle, TBD.
 * When asked about pairing Collin with either Cassie or Jacqui, Ed Boon replied that he'd better make Collin a DLC in Mortal Kombat 11 and implying that he might be frigthened for having two violet girls fighting over him.
 * For same-sex couples, there's Gurkha/​HueHue​, Aurelie/Kitrina, Evelynn/Charlotte, Collin/William Doxx, Collin/Tristan, Collin/Howler, WesDragon/Isiah, Aurelie/Cassie, TBD.
 * Ensemble Dark Horse:
 * Cooper and Tommy were one of the most popular characters in the franchise.
 * Gurkha became a very popular character thanks to Gurkha memes, especially to the meme community.
 * The Avians, especially Evelynn, became one of the most popular female characters in the franchise, mainly due to their appearances.
 * Jack Kanoff became popular, mainly because of his name being an adult joke.
 * Love Rectangle were by far the most popular comic-exclusive characters in the franchise aside from Jack Kanoff.
 * [Kristen]
 * [Space Rangers, mainly Triston, Alexis and Claudia]
 * [Moira]
 * [Sir Victor and Warden Cummer from the prison game]
 * The alternate reality Collins gained a large fanbase, especially Caitlin the Speedy Girl, [Collin the Speedy Gunslinger, Detective Collin, Collin the Speedy Rat, Collin the Speedy Werewolf, or Hikari-Speed. Can be more than one]
 * [Evangeline from Chronicles]
 * [Lady Lena]
 * [the Virtual Fantasy characters]

 * Collin/Stacie.
 * Collin/Jaidynn (post-redeemal).
 * Collin/Kristen.
 * Collin/Moira.
 * Bryte/Eli.
 * Bryte/Fang.
 * Fandom Rivalry:
 * Initially with Looney Tunes since the game series became popular around the same time as Warner Bros.' flagship franchise was being revitalized with modern takes and spin-offs such as Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs as some fans feared that it would have Collin be more recognizable to children than Bugs Bunny, therefore being a lot more popular than him.
 * Looney Tunes fans also disagree that CtSB can be considered "Warner Bros.' counterpart to SpongeBob SquarePants", especially since both Looney Tunes and SpongeBob are comedic works while CtSB, despite having some comedic moments, is more serious and dramatic, being more accurate if compared with a more action-oriented Nicktoon such as Danny Phantom, and since Bugs Bunny is the mascot of Warner Bros. as a whole, including Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, much like how SpongeBob is the mascot of Nickelodeon and, at some extent, Paramount Pictures and Viacom as a whole.
 * The CtSB fandom has a rather complicated relationship with the Sonic the Hedgehog one due to their similar premises and some even accusing of being a rip-off due to it as both sides often argue about TBD.
 * Good Ol' Magic, The Dinosaur Princess, Bailey the Face Paint Hero, Howler, Fluke, Veronica, and The Sea Legend fanbases all initially had a rivalry with the CtSB fanbase.
 * After Warner Bros. acquired most of Midway Games' assets, a new rivalry showed up, this time with Mortal Kombat as fans ofter bashed each other for having different targets and TBD.
 * One Mortal Kombat fan even drew fanart of Scorpion tearing Collin in half.
 * CtSB fans didn't get along well with SpongeBob fans, especially those who keep calling the former "CollinBob SpeedyPants".
 * This seemed to annoy Looney Tunes fans as well, considering the former is more similar in content to SpongeBob rather than CtSB.
 * Some insane fans of CtSB hated Sajoedri, USA, mainly due to the Craig the Shitty Boy episode, therefore arguing with the Sajoedri fanbase.
 * [Birds of Prey for the Avians]
 * The CtSB fanbase has had feuds with the Steven Universe fanbase, mainly due to TBD and the fact that they're both known to be toxic makes it worse.
 * Fanfic Fuel: TBD
 * Fetish Fuel: several installments in the series involve scenarios that can invoke a fetish.
 * Foe Yay Shipping:
 * Collin/Zane.
 * Collin/Sheila.
 * Collin/Jaidynn (pre-redeemal).
 * [other hero/villain ships]
 * Fountain of Memes: TBD
 * Friendly Fandoms:
 * The rivalry with the Looney Tunes fandom didn't last that long since its fans eventually embraced Collin's potential and believed he's a great addition to the Warner Bros. catalog, especially since the company didn't have too much family-friendly franchises back then. That until Time Warner's merger with Turner in 1996 allowed Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network to join their family as well.
 * When Space Jam first came out, CtSB fans noticed the similarities between Looney Tunes newcomer Lola Bunny and Evelynn due to sharing the same voice actress and their tomboyish traits as fans usually draw fanart of them together and picturing them as TBD.
 * [GOM, TDP, Bailey, Howler, Fluke, Veronica and TSL after the initial rivalry]
 * Despite their long-standing rivalry, Sonic the Hedgehog fans regard CtSB as a worthy rival and vice-versa as their fans usually tend to go along and even share TBD.
 * It also helps that some of CtSB ' s voice actors also had voice roles in the Sonic series and vice-versa (most notably Kath Soucie as Sally Acorn in SatAM, Quinton Flynn as Silver the Hedgehog from 2010 until 2019, Matthew Mercer as Espio the Chameleon since 2016 and Nika Futterman as Sticks the Badger in Sonic Boom).

 * One example of a Gurkha meme was a Moto Moto parody video, with Gurkha as Gloria and HueHue from Victor and Valentino as Moto Moto.
 * Another example was a video with Gurkha acting like Swiper from Dora the Explorer, with Collin and Tommy saying "Gurkha no eating!", but before they could finish saying it the third and last time, Gurkha eats their heads off.

 * Collin's creepy face from Girls of a Feather became a meme around the late 2000s to early 2010s, with some members of the meme community comparing it to SpongeBob's ugly face in Whatever Happened to SpongeBob?. In 2019, memes about it have been revived.

 * In 2018, after Warner Bros. announced a partnership with Wendy's to promote Beyond Magnum City, several artists started making and publishing drawings of Evelynn cosplaying as Wendy for laughs on platforms like DeviantArt and Pixiv, with some of them being published on hentai websites due to those being NSFW.
 * Shortly after #SailorMoonRedraw became an online trend, some CtSB fans drew a version of it with Evelynn replacing Usagi, but soon noticed a scene from the Full Speed episode Girls of a Feather where Evelynn is [ideas for a pose/expression] as they started a challenge named #DrawEvie with a similar purpose, NSFW ones included.
 * A user created a reanimated version of this clip, except Wander and Lord Hater are replaced with Collin and Bryte, which became pretty popular among the meme community.

 * Vocal Minority: [unfortunely, SJWs/PC/cancel culture]
 * We're Still Relevant, Dammit!: The series is sometimes criticized by its fans for cashing on modern trends to keep "hip" for newer generations. Notable examples include:
 * An episode of Chronicles had Tommy doing the infamous floss.

 * What Do You Mean, It's Not Made on Drugs?: TBD
 * What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: some people accused The Magnum City Elections for having a political bias towards the Democratic Party, since some of Bryte's political actions on the episode resembled a stereotypical portrait of a Republican Party candidate in some media.

WMG

 * The whole franchise was a whole story made up by Collin himself. While people like Evelynn, Tommy, Cooper, Trent and Wesley do exist in real life, others like Flappy, Voodoo, Bryte, Gurkha and Sharp are entirely fictional.
 * Everything that happened in the franchise is a result of a coma Collin Brady is in.
 * Zane is actually Collin from a dimension where everything is the opposite from the Prime dimension.
 * By extension, Kelsie would be this for Evelynn.

Funny

 * Tommy, Goof, and occasionally Trent and WesDragon are often seen as comic relieves of this franchise.

Nightmare Fuel

 * Ziles' appearance can be terrifying to viewers.
