It's just a phase I'm going through?|[[Opening Theme]]}}

 

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Merton, depending on the episode.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The reasons the gang give to Corey Feldman on why they {{spoiler|staked Corey Haim.}}

'''Tommy:''' He borrowed money from me and never gave it back. }}

* [[Badass Normal]]: Lori.

** Also note that the potential causes of death the tapes cover ''include Celine Dion''.

** Not quite as impressive, but still:

'''Merton:''' What do you think, I have a kit to purge evil spirits from a dog?! *[[Beat Panel|beat]], smirk* Because I ''do''. }}

*** Apparently there were dark suspicions about the neighbor's dog.

** Plus they usually avoid saying hell outright at all. This is especially noticeable in episodes with demons; often Hell will be Hades, or the Underworld.

** Merton is quite fond of swearing. See:

'''Tommy:''' Hey! }}

** and:

* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Merton combines this with [[Stealth Insult]]. "I think you combined the articulation of Arnold Schwarzenegger with the emotional range of Jean Claude van Damme." Tommy doesn't get it.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Recurring characters [[Those Two Guys|Tim & Travis]] gradually received less screen time as the series progressed, to the point that one of [[Put on a Bus|left the show]] and the other was only mentioned once afterward, purely to explain where the other was.

* [[Faux Paw]]: An episode features a [[Were Cat]] who performs the [[Faux Paw]] maneuver.

* [[Fetish Fuel]]: In-universe. As Merton's listing off different cures for lycanthropy he sounds incredibly... interested.

* [[Flanderization]]: Merton's ego and intellect, and Tommy's stupidity.

* [[The Fool]]: Tommy.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Tommy and Merton.

* [[Hot Mom]]:

'''Tommy:''' The next word coming out of your mouth better be 'talented'. }}

* [[I Am Your Father]]: He's not literally Tommy's father, but he is the werewolf that bit him, making a joke based on the Darth Vader Halloween costume he was wearing at the time.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: There's Merton, the cute nerd with spiky hair who dresses all in black. Then there's Tommy who's very good-looking already and who's werewolf form gives him spiky hair, a goatee, sexy side burns, and tiny fangs. So girls can take their pick, cute and tiny, or big and manly.

* [[Mister Seahorse]]: Merton thanks to an alien, complete with shout outs to ''Junior'' and ''Alien''. The alien herself is the one to bring up the latter, when he asks how the birth is going to work.

* [[The Movie Buff]]: Merton.

* [[New Neighbours as the Plot Demands]] / [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Usually related to Merton in some way: there's Allister Black (his sixth grade rival in D and D), Hilary Choates (his sixth grade love, with whom he promptly breaks up), and Bucky Ophendale (a guy he testified against and sent to juvie).

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Merton tends to spend fight scenes hiding behind his teammates.

** [[Lampshaded]] in an episode where Tommy is in a parallel dimension where he wasn't a werewolf and didn't fight evil with his friends. When he explains this and they get caught up in their "first" fight:

'''Merton:''' Right. *Hides behind Lori* }}

** He also has other classic lines like this.

* [[Number of the Beast]]: 666 victories for an evil wrestler = the Apocalypse.

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: [[Don't Try This At Home|Eat wolfsbane]] before your first full moon after being bitten, and you don't become a Werewolf. If you don't, you can still bite someone who has, and be cured by ingesting their werewolf antibodies. And apparently only specific types of Werewolves are capable of creating new ones. And where there's an entire Syndicate of evil Werewolves that can't, Tommy can.

*** In an episode where a [[Terminator]]-esque robot disguised as Merton appears, Merton references the movie and Tommy and Lori, for once, know what he's talking about. Merton seems disappointed that he doesn't get to derail.

*** Tommy even gets in on the act in the [[Wonderful Life]] episode, where he gets to pull this on Merton:

** Also, Merton tends to ask the [[Monster of the Week]] (especially when they're about to kill him), "So, you're a (Insert monster here), what's that like?"

* [[Secret Keeper]]: Merton and Lori.
