Line 12:
'''Laughing Horse''': "Hahahahahaha!"
'''Malfus''': You know, I'm profoundly lonely but I think you should leave."}}
** This is arguably an attempt to laugh at the seriousness of the tone here, but it is none the less true as it relates to King Zog.
* [[Accidental Kidnapping]]: Poor Tess is assaulted, locked in shackles, and dragged to Dreamland, all because, by sheer coincidence, she looks like the [[Girlfriend in Canada]] Elfo described, and [[Could Have Avoided This Plot|Elfo simply can't admit he was lying about it]].▼
* [[Accidental Murder]]: Bean tends to kill a lot of folks by accident, the first being her fiance, Prince Guysbert▼
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of the [[High Fantasy]] genre.▼
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Bean is driven to drink by her father.
* [[Anvilicious]]: In S01E08, "The Limits of Immortality"
{{quote|'''Malfus''': [Of immortality] The monotony, the repetition, the monotony, the repetition... [[beat]] ...''the monotony, the repetition.''}}
* [[Break the Fourth Wall]]:▼
{{quote|'''Elf King''': "How can the world's greatest race be racist?"▼
'''Bean''': [Stares directly to the viewer while this line is delivered after she goaded the Elf king].}}▼
* [[Captain Obvious Aesop]]:▼
{{quote|'''Elfo''': Well now we know something we didn't know yesterday!"}}▼
▲* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of the [[High Fantasy]] genre.

▲* [[Accidental Murder]]: Bean tends to kill a lot of folks by accident, the first being her fiance, Prince Guysbert
* [[Big Eater]]:
** Zog; to give one example, in one episode, after someone tells him turkey is good for insomnia, he eats ''two entire turkeys'' in bed.
** Bean becomes this in an episode where she tries to write theater drama; the scene starts with her doing so at a desk covered with cheese and bread, and is now on her ''sixth'' cinnamon roll.
* [[Blessed Are the Cheesemakers]]: The castle actually has a vault in the subbasement specifically for cheese.
▲* [[Break the Fourth Wall]]:
▲{{quote|'''Elf King''': "How can the world's greatest race be racist?"
▲'''Bean''': [Stares directly to the viewer while this line is delivered after she goaded the Elf king].}}
* [[By Wall That Is Holey]]: a [[homage|nod]] is given to this classic piece of cinema when an ogre falls on Elfo, only for his tiny body to fit exactly through the hole in the ogre's chest.
* [[The Caligula]]: Zog is a cruel, tyrannical, and incompetent ruler. He often orders subjects beheaded just for annoying him, or some other trivial matter. He over-taxes the elves when they move in simply because they have more money than everyone else (though in his defense, he changes his mind later and gives if back), and confiscates their harvests after "inspecting" it. In one episode where he falls ill, he regrets having all the doctors beheaded.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
** The "King Fight" at the beginning of season 1 is called back to with a "Queen Fight" at the end of the season.
** When Elfo pulls another lever to escape.

Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]
** Oona's people, the Dankmirians, seem to combine the traits of amphibians and reptiles, [[Non Mammalian Mammaries|with a few]] [[Non-Mammalian Hair|mammalian features]]. For example, she can scale walls, grab insects with her long tongue, can dislocate her joints, and can breathe underwater.
** Elves cannot grow body-hair; Luci accidentally offends one of them by saying whisky will grown hair on his chest. "On the plus side," says Elfo, "we're always bikini ready."
▲* [[Blessed Are the Cheesemakers]]: The castle actually has a vault in the subbasement specifically for cheese.
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]:
{{Quote|'''Bunty''': We'll scrub you right up, as clean as a child on his funeral day. Arms up! Ow, how my Charlie sparkled on this mornin' when they ''heaved'' him into the burial pit."
