Line 32:
** {{spoiler|"It's nothing, Dad... I was just playing with... an old friend."}}
** {{spoiler|The end of Operation I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S. Everybody saying their personalized goodbye to Nigel, starting with his parents and then moving down to every member of Sector V? The passing on of Sector V leadership to Numbuh Five, despite the fact that "it won't be Sector V without him"? The GROUP HUG with everybody crying while the spaceship prepares for takeoff?}}
** [[Real Life]] incorporated into the show: a Make-A-Wish Foundation patient named Jacob "wished" to be in an episode of KND. Jacob appeared as a scientist named Numbah 275, albeit only a few times and with no spoken lines, in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120424004318/http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xevqx8_operation-feral-part-2_shortfilms the second half of Operation: F.E.R.A.L].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The rock opera episode, complete with a score by GWAR, who re-performed the song themselves after being unable to find stock copies.
* [[Designated Hero]]: Sometimes one can't help but tilt their heads at the K.N.D's actions, like in the episode where the agents fight against a rabid, Batman-esque dentist, whose heinous crime is to improve the kids ''horrendous'' dental health. On another episode, the kids hijack a delivery truck to destroy Type-P torture devices, aka ''pianos''. So, what about the kids who ''like'' playing? They never stop to think about an hypothetical little timmy whose only dream in life is to become a famous musician?
** In the case of Nightbrace, he turned out to actually be quite heinous because {{spoiler|he wasn't even a dentist, but an insane ''candy shop owner'' who had flunked out of dental school after trying to put braces on infants, and couldn't stand kids eating the sweet candy that ''he gave them'', so by night he went out to fix their teeth. Even the ''real'' dentist didn't approve.}}
** As for the piano incident, the focus of the episode was actually about the KND being injured and replaced by hamsters. The piano incident was the pretext for their injuries to occur, so we weren't given the full context since it was a Cold Open. Given how KND villains tend to behave, in context the pianos were probably part of some villain's scheme to enslave children with piano lessons, or something along those lines.
** Operation: LICE was another good example, as the trouble started with Abby stealing nacho chips from the Delightful Children (as in, ''she robbed their house''). Even Numbuh Four remarked that she could have just gone to the deli down the street. There was also Operation: AFLOAT where [[Villains Out Shopping|they crashed the villains' barbecue.]] That botched plan would have done them in had Stickybeard not proved something of a [[Noble Demon]] who decided to rescue them.
* [[Designated Villain]]: Done deliberately with Professor XXXL, who in all his appearances is just trying to create the perfect snowcone, but the KND always ruin his plans thinking he is doing something evil.
* [[Ear Worm]] (''Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys...'')
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Father, after Operation Z.E.R.O. (and minor moments in I.T. and C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.). ''Dear God...''
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Just watch Op. K.N.O.T. and ''try'' to say Moosk doesn't have the makings of this.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** Father has done a lot of crummy things as [[Big Bad]] of the overall show, but the true moment he crossed was in "C.A.K.E.D. -F.O.U.R." where his plot involved [[I'm a Humanitarian|baking all the kids in the town into a birthday cake.]]
** Chester first appeared in C.A.M.P., but it was in F.A.S.T.F.O.O.D. where he qualified, trying to turn kids into hamburgers to feed to sharks.
** Mr. Boss, on the other hand, crossed it in his first appearance (O.F.F.I.C.E.), holding a "take your daughter to work day" so he could abduct the daughters and then send them on a rocket to Pluto, all because he felt eliminating his employees' families would increase production. This proves [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when it is revealed that Numbuh 86 is ''his'' daughter - it does put [[Hypocrite| something of a new twist]] on O.F.F.I.C.E.

Line 81 ⟶ 86:
** Grandfather taking over the world, turning kids and adults alike into elderly zombies and forcing them to slave labor in factories that make tapioca. ''All for him.''
** Many fans thought Cree crossed this when she mistreats and tries to kill ''her own sister'' with sheer glee, especially when considering the rest of the villains don't treat their loved ones like that, even if they're ''heroic'', which reinforces this trope even further. Many thought she crossed the line further when she called Numbuh 2 (who had a crush on her, mind you) a [[Fat Slob]] in Operation K.I.S.S., setting [[Dude, Not Funny]] territory.
** Chad went over the line for many viewers when he tried to kill Nigel in Operation T.R.E.A.T.Y purely out of jealousy over him being considered the best operative on Earth by Chad's superior officers, who did ''not'' order him to go after Nigel the way he did. It's this trope what makes Chad's status as a [[Reverse Mole]] [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic|so hard to swallow]].
* [[Nausea Fuel]]: One episode where "chicken pox" takes the form of literal squirming chicken heads sticking out of one's skin.
** A villain named the Common Cold attacks by siphoning mucous out of his nose. Especially lovely when he starts to ready a really big attack.
Line 91 ⟶ 96:
** A few of [[The Movie]]'s senior citizombies had ''sagging'' ''[[Gag Boobs]].'' {{spoiler|This included the citizombified versions of Numbuh Three and Five.}}
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Apparent in a few episodes.
** I can '''not''' be the only one who was scared to death of the Delightful Children. Comparisons to the ''[[Children of the Corn]]'' are common among fans.
*** It's even more terrifying when you know who they REALLY are, and what happened to them. {{spoiler|Sector Z}} was captured by Father himself, and put them through such rigorous torture (or as he puts it, Delightfulization) to the point that's it's quite literally IMPOSSIBLE to turn them back (any attempts are just temporary). To think that such honorable members of the KND have been turned into such monsters is not only scary, but you have to think of what kind of treatment father put a couple of TEN YEAR OLDS, not to mention that the torture was so intense that they work as one being.
** Heinrich, Numbuh Five's nemesis, trying to dunk a live rabbit in molten chocolate. Terrifying.
Line 104 ⟶ 109:
** Am I the only one who was terrified of the part of W.H.I.T.E.H.O.U.S.E where Nigel hulks out?
* [[Periphery Demographic]]
* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]: Lizzie became more tolerable for many when {{spoiler|she broke up with Nigel due to her realizing he'll always choose the KND over her}}, pleasing many shippers.
** A similar case happens with Numbuh 86, who transitioned from rabid [[Straw Feminist]] to merely a [[Jerkass]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|who can be nice in some ocassions]], even gaining a small but noticeable following.
* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: True, Lizzie can be annoying, controlling and short-tempered, but the fandom tends to [[Flanderization|flanderize her]] into a [[Psychopathic Manchild|psychotic]] [[Yandere]] [[Die for Our Ship|who gets in the way of the fandom's Nigel-centric pairings]], ignoring her positive qualities and genuine love for Nigel. The most brazen example is the fandom's reaction to {{spoiler|her breaking up with him after he saved her. Many saw her as an [[Ungrateful Bitch]] who never loved him and dumped him heartlessly, conveniently forgetting she was broken up about having to do so but knowing their relationship wasn't going anywhere (which almost everyone agrees with).}}
* [[The Scrappy]]: Lizzie is the most obvious example, with Cree and Mushi coming close seconds, but they still have fans. However, the epitome of this trope is Numbuh 363, who is such a [[Jerkass]] that nobody likes him, [[In-Universe]] and out. About the only good thing about him is that [[Hate Sink|he's clearly meant to be despised]].
* [[Squick]]: Anything that involves Nurse Claiborne.
Line 125 ⟶ 131:
** In Op AFLOAT, Numbah Five hands Stickybeard a purple (grape?) lollipop.
* [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]]: The reason why Cree is such a [[The Scrappy|Scrappy]] for many. See the main page for details.
** She's later surpassed by Chad in "Op TREATY".
* [[Villain Decay]]: Father started out as... well, pretty much [[Satan]]. Scary, always cloaked in darkness, and biblical in his wrath- and of course, his voice is Maurice LaMarche at his scenery-chewing best. Contrast this with the middle-aged dork he became later on. He became much more funny, though.
** This one's played with, however, as he has shown to be scarily competent when things get dangerous. It's just that his self-esteem is so low he doesn't exploit his full potential.
* [[The Woobie]]: It's impossible not to see [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Toiletnator]] as this. The fact he can be [[The Cutie]] despite being an adult only enhances it.
