Approximately eight years after the series ended, the show ''finally'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130729214810/http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Daria-The-Complete-Series/13322 got an official DVD release on May 11th, 2010].
{{tropelist}}
== A-D ==
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Mrs. Barch ''is'' this trope, both played straight and subverted. She treats all men like dirt and has made Mr. O'Neill her bitch as of "The Daria Hunter." However, it's made clear that what she's doing is wrong (even though she's never punished for what she's done. See [[Karma Houdini]]) and Mr. O'Neill is actually receptive to her brutal love-making (but that's because he doesn't have to stones to stand up to her {{spoiler|and when he tried to in "Is It College Yet?", it just made her want him even more}}).▼
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Played with. Most adults in the show, besides the principal, seem to have good intentions to say the least. But a lot of the times they are simple too out of the loop to be much use, or Daria is too cynical to initially take what they say seriously.
* [[Adult Child]]: When stressed, Jake generally does one of two things: reverts to a helpless childlike state, or rages against his strict, distant, and since-deceased father. The outbursts are frequently interjected into conversations that had nothing to do with his childhood, and appear to also function as a defense against criticism.
Line 138 ⟶ 136:
** Stacy actually isn't quite that dumb. If she applied herself, she could easily succeed, but she just has some emotional issues, especially self-esteem related. (Sandi naturally exploits this and dominates her.) Even the tutor said that she was actually ''much'' smarter than Sandi and Tiffany. Brittany is also shown to be more street-smart than book smart.
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Janet Barch, unless the man in question happens to be [[Pitbull Dates Puppy|Timothy O'Neill.]]
▲* [[
* [[Nobody Touches the Hair]]▼
* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Trent Lane and the other members of Mystik Spiral are intended to be horrible musicians. They still have fans in the ''Daria'' fanbase in spite of this.
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: Several times in episode "The Road Worrier." For example Jake says, "Hey, stay away from the brown ac... remember Daria, just say no".
Line 151 ⟶ 149:
** There's also Brittany's family. In fact, Brittany's family even defines this trope in "Groped By An Angel".
** Similarly, Jodie's father, in her words, thinks he's Dr Martin Luther King Jnr. and both of her parents are too driven to success to respect her feelings and freedom of choice.
== E-H ==
Line 234 ⟶ 231:
* [[Homeschooled Kids]]: Ted.
* [[Hot for Student]]: From the episode "Lucky Strike".
== I-L ==
Line 270 ⟶ 266:
* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: Brittany
** Quinn may possibly count as this in the very last season.
== M-P ==
Line 297 ⟶ 292:
* [[Noodle People]]: A lot of the female character designs, particularly the Fashion Club. Possibly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] with the magazine "Waif"
* [[No Social Skills]]: Ted. He was homeschooled and does it show. He didn't even know what pizza was before Daria took him out.
▲* [[Nobody Touches the Hair]]
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]] or [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Starting with the episode "Jane's Addition", the series changes into becoming a [[Dramedy]] with a [[Story Arc]] about the characters' coming of age and Daria realizing that her snarky attitude is hurting her more than it's helping her. Some of the fans didn't take to well to this, though others liked the stronger [[Character Development]]. The introduction of Tom had something to do with this as well (see [[Die for Our Ship]]).
* [[The Not-Secret]]: Quinn spends 4 and a half seasons telling everyone that Daria is something other than her sister. When she finally admits it, Sandi tries to make light of the situation, only for Stacy and Tiffany to say that THEY KNEW ALL ALONG.
Line 332 ⟶ 328:
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Inverted, as ''Jane'' seems to be the responsible one in the Lane household instead of her older brother Trent (even - or ''especially'' - when all of the "Wandering Lanes" come back home, which is ''very'' rarely).
** The official website describes Casa Lane as the place "where Jane and Trent were raised. By each other."
== Q-T ==
Line 420 ⟶ 415:
* [[Truth-Telling Session]]: Devastatingly done in "Psycho Therapy".
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: Notably in "Camp Fear," where a plot focused on the Camp coincided with Trent and Jane at an old-fashion country store. There's also many other examples.
