 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: TBD
 * Movie-Theater Episode: Movie Mayhem had Kurt sneak into an R-rated movie that is said to have the scariest and most disturbing scenes yet, mainly because he thought because of the violent stuff he has seen in video games and other movies, he could handle it, but the movie turned out to be WAY more than he can handle.

Trivia

 * Crossdressing Voices: Stan is voiced by Grey Griffin despite being a boy.
 * Dawson Casting: TBD
 * 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 considering that the brothers and Squints would provide a more interesting concept to attract both male and female audiences, 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 since he felt she was a good concept that shouldn't be wasted and she would still be a good fit in the retooled project.

YMMV
