Brothers and Monsters is an American animated supernatural comedy television series created by Matt Youngberg, being produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios and aired on Nickelodeon from March 5th, 2004 until December 11th, 2009.

Tropes

 * Acrofatic: In various episodes, despite being overweight, Kurt has been shown to be pretty good at sports and is able to run pretty fast.
 * Actor Allusion:
 * The young witch Jennifer Hale played as is named Samantha. This isn't the she voiced someone with that name however.
 * Quinton Flynn and Jennifer Hale have also voiced as a potential couple throughout the show (Kurt and Samantha).
 * Big Beautiful Man: Despite Kurt being overweight, TBD
 * Black Bead Eyes: Squints has these.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The Closeted Skeleton's name is a pun on LGBT people who didn't reveal they are LGBT.

Trivia

 * Crossdressing Voices: Stan is voiced by Grey Griffin despite being a boy.
 * Playing Against Type: Rodger Bumpass plays Slim, who is rather TBD compared to other characters he voiced such as, , , ,.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * When Brothers and Monsters was first pitched, it was a LOT different. It was originally a magical girl show about a preteen girl in chibi-style who was beginning to learn magic, while Dave, Kurt, Stan, and Squints were all minor characters. However, due to noticing there were several girl-oriented shows airing at the time and TBD, Matt revamped the entire concept and made it what it is now.
 * However, Samantha eventually became a supporting character in the definitive pitch before it was greenlit by Nickelodeon.
