Line 24:
** Semi-justified as there are other species around the pet shop, a point brought up in "Hooray for Hamsterwood".
* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: Milo in "Big Fish", complete with [[Shout Out]] to [[Ghostbusters|Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: If you happen to be a [[Jerkass]], don't even touch Bea. [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Oscar will be very pissed.]]
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Randy Pincherson, though he [[Single Target Sexuality|only targets Bea]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Details, details, doodley doo!
Line 50:
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Milo and Oscar dress as girls to get into Bea's all-girl slumber party. No one was fooled.
** Except Clamantha.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Milo and Bea's reaction to Oscar's blogging, and in the same episode, Oscar's attempt at flushing himself down a toilet.
{{quote| '''Bea''': Listen to me, whatever is troubling you, you'll make it through.}}
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: "I'm a claaaam!"
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: "Big Fish" can be viewed as a "don't do steroids" episode.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Jocktopus. In "Happy Birthfish, Jocktopus" he doesn't even know what money is.
* [[Family -Unfriendly Violence]]: For a show on the [[Disney Channel]], this show uses [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|an incredible amount of violence]], ranging from characters being eaten onscreen to a scene where [[Slapstick Knows No Gender|Clamantha is thrown out the window]] [[Would Hit a Girl|by Jocktopus]] [[Crosses the Line Twice|where a car runs her over]], to a scene at the end of "Dropsy!" where a sick fish's face ''[[Squick|peels off]]'' and the muscle can be seen in detail.
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: Milo and Oscar, respectively.
** [http://noahzjones.com/Character_Design_files/Media/new_fishtales_characters/new_fishtales_characters.jpg?disposition=download It was originally supposed to be vice-versa.]
* [[Feather Fingers]]: The entire cast. Oddly, they change from normal fins to "hand" fins when needed.
** [[Tailfin Walking]]: The entire cast, again. Oddly, their tailfins are designed nothing like those of real fish or legs and feet.
* [[Feud Episode]]: Fish Talent Show. An incident involving Clamantha's face and Shellsea's foot causes causes them to fight. At one point, [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|the whole school gets involved]].
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Bea
* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: Kevin. [[Played for Laughs]] since he's a one-time character, and [[Defied Trope|defied]] since he didn't show any clear signs of hating them.
Line 84:
* [[Keet]]: Milo
* [[Large Ham]]: Bea
** [[George Takei]]'s [[One -Scene Wonder|bird]]
** Jocktopus
* [[Line -of -Sight Name]]: How Oscar came up with Doris Flores Gorgeous, by altering the words "door" and "floor" and adding an adjective that was also an attractive character trait.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: An [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_(fish) oscar] is a popular species of aquarium fish.
* [[Medium Blending]]: Most of the fish are drawn in regular cartoon-y style, but their setting and anything outside the tanks are portrayed in a photorealistic style.
* [[Mister Seahorse]]: A literal example with one of their teachers, Mr. Baldwin. [[Hanging a Lampshade|Lampshaded]], even. And he apparently has the [[Longest Pregnancy Ever]].
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In "Mascotastrophe", Milo reveals the fact that he and Oscar are [[Totem Pole Trench|both]] the school mascot. Because of this, the geckos use this to their advantage and kidnap Oscar so the fishes' basketball team would lose.
* [[No Cartoon Fish]]: Inverted; the fish cast are cartoony, but the rest of the world is photorealistic.
* [[Non -Mammalian Hair]]: Played straight.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: A handful of them come up in "Fail Fish". How did a can of non-stick spray nearly kill Milo, Oscar, Bea, and apparently Albert Glass?
** How did the gang end up in a tank full of jellyfish?
Line 101:
** No, he minds Clamantha's shrine of him. [[Abhorrent Admirer|He minds...]]
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Subverted when Clamantha is caught making out with [[Makes Sense in Context|Oscar's laptop]].
* [[Pac -Man Fever]]: Oscar's video games.
* [[Perky Goth]]: Oscar, when he was one.
* [[Pop Star Composer]]: Former [[Jellyfish]] frontman Andy Sturmer scores some of the episodes.
Line 124:
'''Clamantha''': I'll be your comb... }}
* [[Stealth Pun]]: The main hamster actress for [[Show Within a Show|Secret Teen]] [[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV)|Witch Hamster]] is played by a girl named [[The Cheetah Girls (Film)|Sabrina]].
* [[Suicide As Comedy]] / [[Interrupted Suicide]]: See the [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] entry above.
* [[Temporary Love Interest]]: Played [[Up to Eleven]] with Bea's boyfriends in "Doris Flores Gorgeous". She wasn't replacing her boyfriends rapidly because she's [[Really Gets Around|promiscuous]], but rather because she thinks that's what high school girls are supposed to do.
* [[Third Person Person]]: Jocktopus
Line 144:
* [[Yeah Shot]]: FRIENDS!
* [[Your Head Asplode]]
