Line 49:
** Numbuh Three's sister, Mushi. Which is ironic as they actually started out getting along with each other.
** Numbuh 362's little brother Harvey, Numbuh 363, who constantly antagonizes Numbuh One.
** Numbuh 4's baby brother Joey.
** Cree considers Numbuh 5 to be this to her.
* [[Anthropomorphic Food]]: Grandmother Stuffem creates this to force itself into kids' mouths.
Line 68:
{{quote|"In the name of the One Supreme Ultra DNK Leader, Welcome... ''to the worst day of your lives.''"}}
* [[Badass Santa]]
* [[Badass Family]] / [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: The Unos, so very much. On one side, {{spoiler|we have Nigel's father, the original Numbuh Zero, who in his youth started a new age of K.N.D. The last episode also reveals his mother was the first female operative}}. On the other side, though, {{spoiler|Father is Numbuh Zero's brother and thus Nigel's uncle, and ''their'' father is the aptly named Grandfather, who is ten times worse then Father. Add in the Delightfuls (missing KND operatives turned permanently evil) as Father's adopted children... and there you go}}.
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: As noted above, definitely present.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: All of Sector V after Gramma Stuffum's attack in "Operation: N.O.-P.O.W.U.H.".
Line 85:
** Saying anything anti-feminist around Numbuh 86 is a big No-No.
** Also, ''never'' call Numbuh 86 "Toots", as Numbuh 2 learned the hard way.
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: They have a ''moon base'' and it looks to be made out of ''gum''.
* [[BFG]]: Including, but not necessarily limited to ones that shoot kangaroos, ''mattresses'', and ''grizzly bears''.
* [[Big Bad]]: Alternates between Father and Mr. Boss
Line 145:
* [[Conspiracy Kitchen Sink]]: This show is practically built on conspiracies (sometimes literally). Not surprisingly, the KND were even responsible for the fake moon landing.
* [[Continuity Creep]]
* [[Continuity Drift]]: The first season finale, "Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.", seems kind of off after viewing later seasons. Instead of getting decommissioned, Nigel just leaves the group and gets a job with his memories intact. It stands to reason that they had no reason to go after him. By the system he was still 10 years and it wouldn't have alerted the decommissioning department. None of his team would report him, either, so as far as anyone outside his team knew, nothing had changed.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Frequently, such as Numbuh One recognizing [[A Glitch in the Matrix]] when he remembered that {{spoiler|Numbuh Four can't swim.}}
* [[Contest Winner Cameo]]: Complete with no spoken lines, and an [[Uncanny Valley|overly detailed face]]!
Line 178:
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Numbuh 86's real name is Fanny. The joke has some [[Unfortunate Implications]] when you realize what the Scottish-accented Fanny's name ''means'' in her homeland... Further implications abound when you take into account the fact that she's a complete [[Straw Feminist|FemiNazi]].
* [[Epic Fail]]: In "Operation: D.A.D.D.Y.", Mr. Boss intends to save money by cutting the hair of his own children instead of taking to them to a barber. [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100816181353/knd/images/c/c6/Numbuh_85.jpg The resulting haircut on his son is impossibly bad.]
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Subverted by Black John Licorice; according to Stickybeard's sea shanty, he would even steal candy from his own mother.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Plenty of villains in the series have shown to do this: for example, Stickybeard saves Sector V from the giant white asparagus because while he steals candy from kids, he won't allow anyone to be forced to eat asparagus.
* [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks]]: Especially when they can get a literal kid burger via fast food drive-thrus.
Line 195:
* [[False Start]]: Numbuh Four's crush on Numbuh Three. This quickly becomes a [[Running Gag]].
* [[Fantastic Voyage]]: "Operation: S.P.R.O.U.T."
* [[Fat Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit]]: Jimmy Nixon McGarfield, the Fourth Grade President-for-Life, is a tween example. He starts out with the typical white suit, {{spoiler|but gets a black one once he's officially a villain}}.
* [[Five-Token Band]]: One Brit (with a Spanish name), one American Jew, one Japanese, one Australian, and one [[Twofer Token Minority|half-French African-American]]. The extended cast is even more varied, though most of the stories take place in the U.S.
* [[Flanderization]]: The Delightful Children from Down the Lane have always spoken and moved in unison, but in later episodes this is taken even further as they are practically considered a single entity, from wearing a single costume large enough for them to all fit in to having [[Crack Pairing|all five of them simultaneously date Numbuh Three]].
Line 229:
* [[Heel Face Mole]]: "Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R.", where one of the Delightful Children joins the KND.
* [[Heroes Unlimited]]: What, you thought the main charaters were the only ones?
* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Each operative from Sector V has hidden eyes of different varieties. Numbuh One has [[Cool Shades]], Numbuh Two has [[Goggles Do Nothing|goggles that do nothing]], Numbuh Three has [[Eyes Always Shut]], Numbuh Four has [[Blinding Bangs]], and Numbuh Five has a [[Nice Hat]] covering her top face.
* [[High on Catnip]]: Catnip causes the Cat Lady's cats to have a sudden dance party.
* [[Hive Mind]]: The Delightful Children From Down The Lane, who seem to represent conformity personified; although later episodes make it clear that they're not a literal case of one mind shared by five bodies, they always speak and act in unison. It's kind of telling that in [[Rashomon Style|"Operation: R.E.P.O.R.T.,"]] Numbuh Two's [[Art Shift|side of the story]] is the only one that depicts them with five separate bodies rather than five heads on a single two-armed body.
Line 245:
* [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]]
** Hoagie (Numbuh Two) was so addicted to chocolate sauce that he used to bathe in it. Eventually he had to sign up to Chocoholics Anonymous.
** In the KND universe, candy is the number one source of happiness. If a child is kept from candy too long or is given a non-candy substitute, they go through an exaggerated form of withdrawal.
** In "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E.", Black John Licorice challenges Abigail (Numbuh Five) to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|gulping down mugs]] of sugar. Numbuh Five's sugar level becomes so high that her eyes widen and she begins to shake violently.
* [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]]: [http://photobucket.com/albums/v494/codemodule/misc/transitions/ Examples found here].
Line 256:
* [[Insulted Awake]]: Happens to Nigel Uno a lot.
* [[Instant Armor]]: Evil teenagers use Battle Ready Armor [[Fun with Acronyms|(or B.R.A.s)]] to fight the KND.
* [[Instant Plunder, Just Add Pirates]]: ''Candy'' pirates.
* [[I Was Told There Would Be Cake]]: Seven of the episodes feature the KND trying to take the cake from the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, who refuse to share it with anyone. To make it worse, said DCFDTL brag and boast about it, giving the KND justification. The cakes seem to vary, in both appearance and what happens to it (as in destroyed).
** To start, the first one (used in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D." is a normal one. It is {{spoiler|destroyed by accident}}.
Line 280:
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: After Season 3 and 4 start rolling around, there is ''a lot'' of minor operatives and villains to keep track of.
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Chester's headband. Consistent with the series, it sends Nigel to a fake [[Kingdom Hearts|Destiny Islands,]] where an [[Expy]] of Kairi greets him and shows him around the paradise they have without adults. Nigel grows suspicious, but his "comrades" reassure him that he's just being paranoid, until he remembers that [[A Glitch in the Matrix|Numbuh 4 can't swim, but he's doing the backstroke in a pool of soda.]] {{spoiler|In the end, [[Hoist by His Own Petard|Nigel puts Chester in his own headband]], convincing him he'd defeated him and was being praised by the other villains...that is, until Numbuh 4 turns it to its nightmare setting.}}
* [[
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Jimmy McGarfield in "Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G.".
* [[Lower Deck Episode]]: "Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G."
Line 339:
** Numbuh 10-speed, leader of the KND Central Bike Hub, is a kid version of Lance Armstrong.
* [[No Dialogue Episode]]: "Operation: T.H.E.-F.L.Y."
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Played for laughs.
** Toiletnator gives one to Knightbrace in [[VIllain Episode|Operation F.LU.S.H]], only to get one by the main cast right after that
** Knightbrace receives it again by pretty much 80% of the entire cast in [[Melee à Trois|Operation M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S]]
** [[Big Bad|Father]], [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show|of all people]] is on the receive ending of two of them both from [[Dumb Muscle|Stickybeard]]
* [[Non-Lethal Warfare]]
* [[Not Brainwashed]]: "Operation: C.O.L.L.E.G.E."
* [[Not Hyperbole]]: When Cree says she'd turn the treehouse upside down, she ''means'' it.
Line 359:
* [[Power Limiter]]: Count Spankulot can turn others into "spank-happy vampires" by spanking them gloveless.
* [[Power-Up Food]]: One episode has a villain named Cuppa Joe, a rig overseer who gains [[Super Speed]] from drinking excessive amounts of coffee.
* [[Punctuated!
{{quote|"She. Just. Owes. Me. A. Quarter."}}
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Numbuh Two
* [[Punny Name]]
* [[Punk Punk]]: One of the codifiers of Kid Punk.
* [[Raise Him Right This Time]]: The one-off villain Mr. B, after being hit by [[Hoist by His Own Petard|his own "babyfier ray"]].
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: {{spoiler|Leaky Leona, who turns out to have been using the Fountain of Youth to maintain her 10-year-old form for the past 300 years.}}
* [[Rebus Bubble]]: '''2 + 2 = Pizza'''
Line 379:
* [[Serious Business]]: Don't get us started....rainbow monkies and cake and card collections.....
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: "Operation: F.U.T.U.R.E."
* [[Shout-Out]]: Loads and loads of these.
** Character-specific:
*** The antagonists, The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, seem to be based on the antagonists in co-creator Mo Willem's 1996 ''[[Ka Blam!|Ka Blam]]'', sketch, ''The Off-Beats'', known as "The Populars".
Line 430:
** Numbuhs One and Two, having no clue what bras are, use a backronym generator on the word, and eventually conclude that it stands for "Battle Ready Armor" and is a secret Teenager armor device. After some embarrassing hijinx, [[The Stinger]] shows us that that is ''indeed'' what the Teenagers are using bras for (yes, even the boys). They even use the same backronym.
* [[Straw Feminist]]: Numbuh 86 again, though her attitude doesn't win her any points with the female members either.
* [[Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish]]: In an episode, the kids are trying to save babies at a hospital. Numbuh Three, [[The Ditz]], reveals that "I speak baby," and indeed she does.
* [[Sunglasses At Night]]: Numbuh One mainly, but sometimes other members of the KND as well.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The two songs by [[GWAR]] that are featured in "Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E."
Line 445:
* [[Time Passes Montage]]
** "Operation: A.W.A.R.D.S." spoofs the [[Spinning Clock Hands]] version, where the spinning clock hands turns out to be just Numbuh Four playing with his watch.
** Numbuh Four suffers through this previously during "bring your daughter to work day" in "Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E." He waits and waits and waits... and the hands on his dad's clock move backwards.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb, parodies of ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]'''s Mr. Wynt and Mr. Kidd.
* [[Tomato Surprise]]
Line 454:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Numbuh Four loves eating Coco Nut Logs even though he's allergic to coconut.
* [[Totally Radical]]: The "Little Traitor Dudes for Children's Defense" native language.
* [[Tranquillizer Dart]]: Used in "Operation: Z.O.O." by Mrs. Goodwall against Sector V, to put them in a "Kids Zoo".
* [[Travel Montage]]: "Operation: R.A.I.N.B.O.W.S."
* [[Traumatic Haircut]]: More often than not, at least one Kid ends up getting their hair chopped, shaved, pulled, or burned off during a mission.
Line 463:
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: In "Operation: I.T.", {{spoiler|Father enters this position after being threatened at broccoli-point by Rachel, a.k.a. Numbuh 362, complete with an implied hallucination of ''his'' father making him eat broccoli during ''his'' childhood. Although given what his father is like, this was probably a truly traumatic experience.}}
* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior]]: The afromentioned [[Creepy Child|Creepy Children]]
* [[True Companions]]: A very central theme of the series, especially applies to Nigel as no matter how busy he is he always puts his friends first.
* [[Unnamed Parent]]: Subverted. To the Kids Next Door, adults are the enemy, and so they don't really care what the adults are named beyond "Mom" or "Dad". All adults are either "Mr. ______" or some variation on the gimmick they use to fight the KND. The biggest villain for the majority of the series is the demonic figure known only as "Father". The one who eventually tops him is the Draculaesque "Grandfather". Three guesses as to the nature of their relationship. In addition, quite a few of the kids' parents are named as the series goes on.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Sometimes averted, other times played straight. If the Kids Next Door are doing a [[Humongous Mecha]] battle in town square for example, you will see civilians running away in terror. However, if the children are jumping into trap doors to escape class, pulling out crazy 2×4 technology in public or participating in other related craziness, expect the people around them to be either indifferent, or to bounce back quickly.
Line 487:
** One episode features a hardware-store owner who wants to eliminate two aviators who bought their plane parts from him. Why? Because they kept ''smudging his counter with chili''. [[Disproportionate Retribution]] much?
** This show as a whole is built on this, to an ''[[Animal Farm]]''-esque degree. Anything that is kid-oriented is ''good''! [[Paranoia Fuel|Anything that is adult-oriented or that adults make kids do for their own good is ''vile and evil''!]] Which makes the existance of [[Rule 34|smutty KND pictures/fanfic]] somewhat of a violent whiplash of [[Fridge Logic]]...
** This kids = good/adults = bad thing is taken to such a degree that in "Operation: P.O.O.L." it is made to be a bad thing that the adults were doing the things kids do (playing games, getting allowances, etc.) while kids do the things adults do (go to work, taking care of the adults) on a relatively daily basis. How funny that the actions are only awful when they're not being done by their accepted respective age groups.
** It's normally only shown to be bad when the supervillains take it to extremes; the KND are normally shown having really good relationships with their own parents, even when 86's father is {{spoiler|Mr. Boss}}, and they even state in some episodes that they only fight evil adults. The supervillains' plots are normally something most normal adults in the series would likely have a problem with if they knew (in some cases, this is shown actively).
** And at the end of "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", it's revealed that {{spoiler|adulthood is literally a disease. One that's spreading unchecked across the universe}}.
Line 504:
* [[World Gone Mad]]: It's a world where adults live to make the younger generations lives a living hell. And people get away with turning stuffed animals and pinkeyeye crust into food. And there's candy pirates who wreck the suburbs pretty damn often, and Father, and Grandfather, and all the villains, and... hell, and some horrible plan about to ruin the lives of children forever and yet their parents always think they're just playing... And then there's "Operation: F.U.T.U.R.E.". My God.
* [[World of Ham]]: You'd be hard-pressed to find a line in this show spoken at normal speed and volume.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: There's an episode where Cree's carrying out an [[Evil Plan]] to destroy Sector V but is defeated and sent to jail at the KND Moon Base. That was actually her true goal; to gain access to the Moon Base, but wiping out Sector V would have been good too.
* And then there's "Opearion: P.R.E.S.I.D.E.N.T.".
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: A notable example is when Sector V had to improvise an attack on a "Villains Awards Show" without Numbuh One's help. It involved a lot of disguises, a chunk of sneaking around, and lots of snot. Worked out, until it was revealed that Numbuh One was [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Kid]]-[[Gambit Roulette|napped]] and set up as an award, causing the plan to backfire. Thankfully, they managed to rescue him in time for the plan to work out. By simply rushing the stage and carting him away. The adults had no clue what was going on.
