Recurring sketches

 * What If... - A collection of animated sketches which series alternate (non-canon) scenarios.
 * Commercials - Episodes usually begin with a parody advertisement for an absurd product. Some examples include Toybay.com, an eBay.com-type website where people sell their toys.
 * Draw with Kally and Lotta - A tutorial sketch starring Kally and Lotta series as they learn how to draw various pictures. This sketch was discontinued at the end of the fifth season.
 * Kids' in Live - A parody and spoof of Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, which debuted in season 11. This live-action sketch stars Joshua, Samuel and Averie and their friends (played by live-action child stars) starting their relationships in school.
 * Judge Riley - A parody of the courtroom show Judge Judy, as well as Judge Trudy from The Amanda Show. the sketch stars Judge Riley (played by Riley), a 18-year-old judge, and the Bailiff (played by Jarek), and features a plaintiff "suing" a defendant for petty grievances, such as receiving detention, being told to "please stop" or other wrongdoings. Regardless of the merit of the defendant's case, Riley always finds in favor of the plaintiff, if necessary inventing reasons to do so, and sentences the defendant to an absurd punishment. Each Judge Riley sketch typically involves two cases, and would end with Riley saying, "Bring in the dancing animals!", after which the animals would enter the courtroom and dance with the spectators.
 * Many Ways to Kill Malachi!- A parody and spoof of Wanna Kick Rayman from Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. This animated sketch focuses on a fictional series of 600 video and DVD episodes created by Tiana, Gree, Cabel and Lola, and their henchmen to train themselves against Malachi. Each episode starts with a fictional "buy 600 get 1 free!" offer, followed by the main content. The videos show creative and odd ways that Tiana, Gree, Cabel and Lola, devises to beat up an animal that has the role of Malachi. The victims are dressed with a shirt in the style of Malachi. Sometimes the animals prevail and manage to defeat Tiana, Lola, Gree or Cabel.
 * The Boys' Dorm - A TV show that takes place in the boys' dorm of a high school, but for one episode, took place in the girls' dorm of the same school while a flood was being remedied in the girls' dorm. It debuted in season 4.
 * Blockblister - Based on the on The Amanda Show sketch of the same name, this sketch involves customers trying to rent popular movies, (such as Bear Bones' Magical Kingdom) and instead ending up with ridiculous knock-off versions which were poorly acted out by the vaguely Eastern European family (played by Pablo, Kayla, Scott, Zeke, Rebecca and Travis.)
 * Totally Darlene - A short sketch starring Darlene who tells vapid, nonsensical stories, usually beginning with the line "One time..." and uses the words "like" and "all" a lot. Following Darlene's departure, this sketch was discontinued at the end of season 16.
 * Ask Malachi - An animated talk show sketch starring Malachi, who is always positive to host his own talk show until he reads hand-written letters and digital email letters sent in by clueless viewers who are Bear Bones fans and haters. After reading a hate letter made by a Bear Bones hater, he would shred the entire letter into pieces and go on a violent tirade against the hate letter's author.
 * Boom-Frenzy - A parody of the game show Wipeout hosted by Liam.
 * Katliyn's Point - An over-the-top parody of teen dramas from the late 90s and early 2000s such as Dawson's Creek, Caitlin's Way, and Moody's Point. The segment is presented as a show-within-a-show, and focuses on Katliyn Todin (played by Kyoka), an emotionally exaggerated teen whose mother was lost in a "tragic hot air balloon accident" and whose odd father struggles with losing a finger near the end of the series. At the end of the last episode, the screen shows the words "To Be Continued"; the sketch was discontinued at the end of the fifth season, ending Katliyn's Point with a cliffhanger. Mala Miles had pitched an actual spin-off series to Cartoon Network, but the series was not green-lit.
 * Awesome Gaming - This sketch was introduced in the sixth season.
 * Who's Gonna Win 1000 Dollars? - A parody of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? hosted by Midnight. The contestant, usually a character from another recurring skit on the show, who isn't very bright, is asked five questions, with the final question being worth ten U.S. dollars.
 * The Animal Life Behind the Backstage - This animated sketch stars Scott Pig, Hilda Cat, Logan Lion, Chucky Chicken, Lloyd Bear, Bill Fox and Timmy Alligator as security guards for the backstage of the show.
 * Bear Bones Puppets - A live-action puppetry sketch featuring the Bear Bones characters as puppets, debuting in the second season.
 * Malachi's Island - A parody of the hit CBS reality TV series Survivor. The players, usually repertory players and characters from other skits, are stranded in a strange location and were required to stay and deal with one another.
 * Cringeworthy Junk - A collection of animated sketch that shows cringe stuff. It started with episode 1 of season 15.
 * Stop Motion Blob - A stop motion Blob cartoon does wacky things. These sketches were discontinued beginning with episode 15. The animation was done by Tom Megalis.
 * Stupid Blonde Bimbo - Debuting in the fourth season and airing until the seventh, the series follows Greta (here depicted as the titular blonde bimbo) annoying various people.
 * When... Attack - A parody of dramatic crime documentaries, such as When Animals Attack!. Midnight introduces herself as a famous character, then explains how a certain inoffensive group have been attacking people. Sketches ended with the attackers showing up in the studio. Midnight also shows no sympathy for the victims of the attack.
 * BBTV's Storybook Remix - A sketch detailing remixed versions of popular children's books.
 * Extreme Boys - Based on The Amanda Show sketch, "The Extremes", this sketch is about Arthur, Denki, and Yato, who always take every little thing to an extreme. Whatever they feel, they seem to always overreact to it. For example, when eating pizza, Yato begins crying hysterically, claiming he is sad that when they finish eating it, it will be gone.
 * School Moment - An animated sketch that debuted in the sixth season, and based on "Hillbilly Moment" from The Amanda Show. Joshua and Darwin tell a knock-knock joke which always ends up with Joshua hitting Darwin over the head with the subject of the knock-knock joke.
 * The Real Princesses of Tyrusville - Introduced in the nineteenth season, three princesses (played by Kally, Ashley, Lotta, and Giana) who are stuck-up and from Tyrusville re-live fairy tales in modern day.
 * Where's Komaru? - A Where's Waldo type sketch featuring Komaru Kutabata hiding at a small-time public function. The viewer is asked to try to find her only to see at the end that she is always cleverly disguised as a prop to blend in perfectly with her surroundings.
 * The Mit-suru - An animated sketch that debuted in the nineteenth season. Mitsuru is playing as an Italian mobster with his sidekicks Yusuke and Leon. These sketches were parodies of the popular HBO television series The Sopranos. In addition, Freya attacks using random items, usually food items.
 * Hiyoko Freaks Out! - A two-minute sketch debuting in the thirteenth season, where Hiyoko talks about what's on her mind at the time.
 * Rollerbound Life - An animated sketch that debuted in the twelfth season and aired until the sixteenth season, which serves as a successor to Katliyn's Point. Like Katliyn's Point, this sketch is presented as a show-within-a-show, and focuses on the daily life of Sarah, who has to outwit Rollerbound's dangerous scientists who intend to perform tests on her. Throughout each segment, Sarah usually goes through a mutation, as a result of the scientists sneaking each test serum into one of her favorite foods.
 * What's on Nejire's Mind? - A short sketch running from the fourth through eleventh seasons.
 * Out of this Word - A one minute sketch that debuted in the fourteenth season which focuses on Kirari and Ririka, who explore and learn common English idioms such as "sleep tight" and "put a sock in it". Ririka often takes idioms literally. Kirari happily explains to Ririka the history behind these phrases.
 * Bear Bones News Starring Izuku and Ochako - This animated sketch stars Izuku and Ochako as newscasters who end up delivering the recent news. Starting with Season 2, the sketch serves as the cold opening for every episode. This sketch is also similar to the Weekend Update from SNL.
