* [[Animesque]]: The "Little Wendy Tales" sketches. Pokes fun at ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' and anime clichés in general.
* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]] - Chicken Jane.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Happily Married]]: Theo and Cleo, to the point where they [[Parental Bonus|openly flirt with each other]] during their cooking segments
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The attempts made by Lionel's family to help him get over the fact he has antlers. Sure, they all mean well, but it's no less embarrassing... especially the "coat rack" bit.
* [[Literal Cliff Hanger]] - Cliff Hanger, who appears in a series of animated vignettes, and is even the subject of one or two episodes. His life is [[Failure Is the Only Option]] in terms of actually getting off the cliff. (He does get off the cliff once, but he ends up following a sign that leads him right back onto it - in his defense, though, [[Too Dumb to Live|the sign
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] - Walter and Clay, the pigeons, constantly annoy Barnaby B. Busterfield III with this. (He doesn't like being called "Buster".)
** Incidentally, another character, Dr. Nitwhite, gets [[Berserk Button|ticked off]] when his assistant, Watson, calls him "Dr. Nitwit."
