sounds. When he spoke, he would hum the first line of The Alphabet Song and then sing his phrase to the tune of the next line. A high pitched, accelerated voice similar to the Chipmunks was used for the character and the words he sang/spoke appeared as a rebus in a word balloon over his head. He appeared in the episodes Ain't I a Little Stinger? and Strange Objects. Hopalong Catskill – a frog wearing a cowboy hat who walked with a limp similar to that of Dennis Weaver's "Chester" on the TV show Gunsmoke and spoke with a Yiddish accent. His catchphrase was "Hey Shmendrick! Would you like a cup of coffee?" The character was voiced by Yiddish comedy singer Mickey Katz. Peking Tom – a Siamese alley cat who sang about being a "very hungry guy; I've got to get some food 'cause I'm too egg-foo-young to die".

She appeared in the episodes Wildman From Wildsville and Capture of the Three-Headed Threep. Venus the Meanest and Venice the Menace – two space robots from Venus who at first were reported to be invading Earth but came down for a picnic.

Their catchphrase was "Whyyyy not?" Edgar Allen Po's Shadow – a shadow man who owns the Haunted Retreat Mansion in the episode Beany and Cecil meets the Invisible Man.
