Line 114:
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Hinted at, given his crush on Cree and him flirting with two teenage girls. {{spoiler|He does manage to attract Numbuh Five, though.}}
* [[Compressed Vice]]: His chocolate sauce addiction.
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: He tends to get scared easily, yet this doesn't prevent him from getting things done by the end.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Numbuh Two's dad, Hoagie P. Gilligan, Sr., hasn't been seen at all throughout the series.
Line 124 ⟶ 125:
* [[Genius Ditz]]
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: Zigzagged. He works with high speed equipment so it would help with wind resistance, but generally just has them on most of the time for no reason either.
* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|To Numbuh 5 of all people as adults.
* [[She's All Grown Up|He's All Grown Up]]: Teen!Hoagie is pretty cute (not to mention much thinner), and even manages to catch Cree's attention.
* [[Improbable Piloting Skills]]
* [[Loving a Shadow]]: His crush on Cree is pretty superficial, given he focuses on her beautiful appearance rather than her unpleasant personality. {{spoiler|It's implied his crush was based on his own implicit feelings for his teammate and Cree's sister, Numbuh Five.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Hoagie P. Gilligan ''Jr.'', appropriately enough, a twofer reference. First, there's "Gilligan," a reference to the title character of ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'', who was also second-in-command on the ''S.S. Minnow''. Then there's the "Jr.", often used at the end of a boy's name to signify that he's the second male in the family to have inherited his father's name (a seemingly throwaway detail that actually foreshadows the importance of his [[Disappeared Dad]], Hoagie P. Gilligan, Sr.)
* [[Must Make Her Laugh]]: Many of his awful puns are done to make Numbuh Five laugh (
* [[Nice Guy]]: He does have flaws, but he's still a very friendly and cheerful guy, and is the only one who lacks the [[Anti-Hero]] attributes the others have.
* [[Nice Hat]]
Line 136 ⟶ 137:
* [[Opposites Attract]]: {{spoiler|With Numbuh Five.}}
* [[Private Detective]]: His side job, in full-on, [[Conspicuous Trenchcoat|trenchcoat]]-clad [[Film Noir]] mode.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: What he thinks he is.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Numbah Four's red.
* [[Salt and Pepper]]: With Numbuh Five.
Line 196 ⟶ 197:
* [[Running Gag]]: Trying to use the Hippity Hop mecha in battle never ends well.
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Contrasting with her [[Dude Magnet]] status, she hasn't shown interest in anyone not named "Numbuh Four".
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: She tends to get upset at Numbuh Four whenever he acts like a [[Jerkass]], yet whenever he shows his [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: She's frequently shown to be pretty spoiled (especially regarding Rainbow Monkeys), but she's as sweet as they come.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Her cheerful personality (or at least part of it) is revealed to be a mask to keep her from falling into depression. Considering her [[Dysfunctional Family]], it's hard to be surprised.
Line 236 ⟶ 237:
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Towards Numbuh Three.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Cry Cute]]: Whenever he gets upset, which is [[Fragile Flower|surprisingly often]].
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Even more so than Numbuh 3, as he also appears to have [[Super Strength]].
* [[Drunk with Power]]: Became this after assuming team leader in "Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N"
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: With Numbuh Three.
* [[Four Is Death]]: As the aforementioned team's resident [[Blood Knight]], he is the one who ends up in combat a lot. He tends to be the unluckiest member of the group, yet has his happy moments. In perspective, he is the only member of the KND to not suffer a [[Gender Bender]] (and manages to be the only male by the end of Operation F.U.T.U.R.E.) as well as {{spoiler|marrying the girl of his dreams.}}
* [[Fragile Flower]]: He puts up a tough front, but he's actually ''very'' sensitive and cries quite easily, as seen in episodes like "B.U.T.T.", "S.A.F.E.T.Y." and "F.E.R.A.L.".
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: While a member of the KND, he can still be a bully befitting his age.
* [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]]: His constant use of the word "Crud".
Line 291 ⟶ 293:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In "Operation: Z.E.R.O.".
* [[Hidden Depths]]: [[Only Sane Man]] + [[Positive Discrimination]] + [[My Greatest Failure]] + [[My Greatest Second Chance]]
* [[Hypocrite]]: [[Tropes Are Not Bad|A part of her]] [[Not So Above It All]] schtick. Cases in point:
** She endlessly criticizes Numbuh Two's puns, yet she makes bad puns herself when alone. This may be justified due to her being a [[Tsundere]] towards Hoagie.
** Related to the above, she enjoys mocking Numbuh Four for being a [[Crazy Jealous Guy]] towards Numbuh Three, yet she proves to be a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] regarding Numbuh Two.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: One of the most action-prone girls in the show.
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
Line 321 ⟶ 326:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Numbah Three's Girly Girl. Subverted by their usual manner of dress: Kuki wears a sweater and sneakers, while Abby usually goes around in a minidress, white Mary Janes, and earrings.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Except in notable occassions, her anger tends to manifest as this.
* [[Tsundere]]: Usually, she's a calm, collected girl, but tends to turn into a harsh example with the people she loves the most, as seen with her sister Cree and ''especially'' Numbuh Two.
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: French and African.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years|Wise Beyond Her Years]]
Line 400 ⟶ 405:
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: AND HOW!
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Bordering on [[Evil Redhead]] at worst.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: She's not a villain, but having {{spoiler|a villainous father like Mr. Boss}} clearly explains a lot of her attitude. It's heavily implied her hatred of boys stems from a [[Noodle Incident]] in her past.
* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: As the unpleasant decommissioning officer, nearly everyone hates her guts.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]
* [[Hate Sink]]: [[In-Universe]], nearly everyone who knows her hates her guts, and justifiably so. Not so much out of universe, at least after her [[Character Development]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Later went from [[Straw Feminist]] to just plain jerk to everyone. She becomes a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] later on, though.
Line 503 ⟶ 510:
* [[Evil Is Burning Hot]]: Is it ''ever''.
* [[Evil Uncle]]: {{spoiler|To Nigel.}}
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: He would be a much more formidable villain if not for his self-loathing and cowardice. When these go out for a moment, he proves to be even more powerful than Grandfather.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Grandfather makes him look like a saint, and the reason he refused to help fight him wasn't out of evil, but out of pure fear. Grandfather also liked his brother better than him and treated him like crap. We also see Father break down and curl up on the floor when threatened to be forcefed broccoli because Grandfather did it to him in such a way he was traumatized for life!}}
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
Line 517 ⟶ 525:
* [[Name's the Same]]: No, he's not the [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', although their roles in their respective series are surprisingly similar.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: His voice is a parody of Kirk Douglas, [[Hey, It's That Voice!|which LaMarche previously used]] on ''[[Animaniacs]]''.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]/[[Scaled Up]]: In "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S."
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Gets it from his dad.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: {{spoiler|With Numbuh Zero.}}
Line 625 ⟶ 633:
* [[The Resenter]]: To Nigel.
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: He's this trope to, oddly enough, [[Blood Knight|Wally/Numbuh Four]]. Both are tough warriors who try to constantly prove themselves to satisfy their own [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|Inferiority Superiority Complexes]], and are shown to be jealous of Nigel/Numbuh One due to his talents as a fighter and leader. The difference is that [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Wally]] genuinely respects and cherishes his friendship with Nigel and puts his ego aside for his sake, while [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk|Chad]] lets this resentment take over him and puts his own desires over anything else.
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: To the point he could be considered worse than ''Cree'' in this regard, which is no small feat.
Line 660 ⟶ 669:
* [[Not So Different]]: From Mushi, as they're both the evil, treacherous and ungrateful sisters of the two female protagonists of the series. She's also this with Chad.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Maurice.
* [[Smug Snake]]: She's not incompetent, but her behavior is so revolting it's impossible to see her as anything but this trope.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]
* [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bitch]]: '''YES.''' This is one of the many reasons she's largely [[The Scrappy|despised]] by the fandom.
Line 682 ⟶ 692:
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]
* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: "Gold" may be stretching it, but he does show himself to be a caring, devoted father to his own children (who are KND operatives, by the way). He has shown some moments of camaraderie with other villains as well (even [[The Friend Nobody Likes|Toiletnator]]).
* [[Moral Myopia]]: He hates kids unless they happen to be his, [[Justified Trope|which seems to be something of an unwritten rule for the KND villains]].
* [[Pet the Dog]]: He does love his own children.
** Usually, he's the most adamant in treating [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Toiletnator]] like crap, but in "M.I.S.S.I.O.N", after Toiletnator offers himself to fight the KND while he and the other villains deal with the bowling match, he sincerely thanks him for it, even calling him by his real name, Lou. Toiletnator's reaction is [[Tears of Joy|pretty]] [[The Glomp|obvious]].
Line 832 ⟶ 842:
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]
* [[Irony]]: His relationships with his sons in a nutshell. He loves and dotes on his oldest son {{spoiler|Numbuh Zero}}, who rebelled against him and wants nothing to do with him; yet he despises his youngest son Father, who followed in his footsteps and desperately wants his approval.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: He does deeply love his son Monty, but he doesn't pull any punches when he becomes an obstacle in his plans. While this could be chalked up to his [[Blue and Orange Morality|unconventional moral code]], his [[Jerkass|general dickishness]] absolves him of nothing.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Is an even bigger ham than his son.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Literally. He had his memory erased by Numbuh Zero using some kind of laser, reducing him to a harmless old man until he's "recommissioned" by Father. This actually seems to be the only way to defeat him, as all other attempts failed completely.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Double subverted. {{spoiler|Monty Uno/Numbuh Zero}} seems to be this, as he does like him as his son and considers him the favorite... but then tries to incinerate him when he turns on him without blinking an eye. However, he still liked {{spoiler|Zero}} for the fact he was willing to stand up to him and give Grandfather something of a challenge. Before being decommissioned, he still has {{spoiler|Zero}} in his will.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: His reaction to getting [[Colony Drop|crushed under the entire Kids Next Door Moonbase]] is to dust himself off and ask if they really thought that would work. {{spoiler|Then again, he didn't know that was a distraction.}}
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: His defeat restores the world to normal.
* [[Physical God]]: He's the single strongest villain in the series and is capable of surviving a direct hit from a [[Colony Drop]] without even a scratch. He can also 'age' the entire world at will.
