Line 35:
** On a much darker note, cheating wasn't a good idea either. Nor was begging his archrival to ''remove his humanity''. It backfired ''horribly''.
** Similarly in "Phantom Planet", {{spoiler|Vlad revealing himself to be half-ghost to the world, and then forcing the world to pay him in order to save the planet... which he couldn't actually do.}}
* [[Ambiguous Situation]]: It's unknown in "The Ultimate Enemy" if future!Vlad was preparing to {{spoiler|kill past!Danny to stop the [[Bad Future]] and past!Danny escaped by sheer luck and stamina, or if he realized it would be wrong despite the temptation and helped past!Danny as originally intended.}}
* [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome]]: The amulets that Dora and Aragon wear to turn them into dragons.
* [[Ancient Keeper]]: Frostbite
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
* [[Backstory]]: While we do know the basics of how Danny got his powers from the [[Expository Theme Song]], it isn't until the episode "Memory Blank" that we actually learn it was Sam that persuaded him to enter the portal in the first place.
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Danny and Skulker in "Prisoner of Love".
* [[Bad Future]]: The premise of "The Ultimate Enemy". As we see in the [[Action Prologue]], Valerie ten years later is the protector of Amity Park. She and her father {{spoiler|found the Fentons' anti-ghost technology and use it to protect the city from Dark Danny. And to her credit, she does a decent job until Dark Danny discovers a ghostly wail that can break her ghost barrier. She nearly has a breakdown seeing past!Sam and past!Tucker begging her not to shoot past!Danny, saying she ''knows'' they died ten years ago. One can hope that with Clockwork imprisoning Dark Danny that this
* [[Bad Job, Worse Uniform]]: Valerie works at Nasty Burger--as its mascot.
* [[Badass]]: Long list, including Vlad, Skulker, and a purple-backed gorilla.
Line 260 ⟶ 261:
'''Tucker:''' Waste ''these'' looks and all ''this'' charisma hunting ghosts? Criminal. }}
* [[Eternal English]]: You would think that someone who died 1600 years ago would ''not'' be speaking Modern American English. Also, the one non-English speaker speaks ''modern'' Esperanto.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]:
*
** "The Ultimate Enemy" shows why Vlad is broken in the [[Bad Future]]; he adopted Danny {{spoiler|after the latter's family died in the Nasty Burger accident, and they both grieved. At Danny's request, Vlad tried making him normal by removing his ghost side, to "make the pain go away". It backfired; the ghost Danny absorbed Vlad's ghost powers, becoming more powerful, and proceeded to slaughter the human Danny while he was hiding in a [[Troubled Fetal Position]].}}
* [[Even Heroes Have Heroes]]: [[Inverted]] in a sense -- Vlad ([[Captain Obvious|the villain]]) is a huge Packers fan.
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale", "Public Enemies", "Double Cross My Heart", ''Danny Phantom'' is riddled with this.
Line 436 ⟶ 439:
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Averted hard in "[[The Movie|The Ultimate Enemy]]" which shows the only cold-blooded murder committed in the series and the accidental deaths of {{spoiler|Jack, Maddie, Mr. Lancer, Jazz, Sam and Tucker}}. Sidney Poindexter may also be an aversion, but he's already a ghost. An annoying one at that.
* [[Informed Judaism]]: Actually averted, if you pay attention - Grandma Manson occasionally uses Yiddish words when she's otherwise speaking English, and Manson is a fairly common Jewish last name. Ironic since Sam's parents are characterized as WASPs.
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: "The Ultimate Enemy" shows Danny that just as there's a chance for him to go bad, there's a chance for Vlad to become good. In a later episode when Vlad blackmails him to get rid of his ghost acne by infecting Sam and Tucker, Danny asks Clockwork's permission to go back in time and stop the accident that caused Vlad to get ghost powers, hoping it will save his friends and give Vlad a second chance. In the new timeline, however, Vlad is a jerk who treats Maddie as a [[Stepford Wife]], making her give up ghost research in favor of cultivating cheese. He also broke her and Jack up since Jack was the one who got the ghost powers this time and became a recluse as a result. When Jack and Maddie get wind of this thanks to Danny, Vlad ''kills'' Jack off and gloats to Maddie that she can't do anything because they're still married. (Turns out this was Clockwork's intention when Danny returns to him to fix things back to normal; he says some people just turn out to be jerks regardless of their circumstances and blame other people.)
* [[Invocation]]: Danny's "Going Ghost!" is just a habit to say when he changes, it's not necessary.
** Lampshaded the first time he meets Vlad.
