* [[Actor Allusion]]: Aunt Nora in the movie is a pretty normal woman, played by [[Frasier|Bebe Neuwirth]]. In the cartoon, she's basically [[Frasier|Lilith Sternin]], in attitude and appearance.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: even more so than the movie.
* [[All Amazons Want Hercules]]: Jamazon Queen Gina wants Alan.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: The Jamazons
* [[An Arm and
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Pretty much everyone who lives in the jungle except for Alan.
* [[Badass]]: All the Jumanji inhabitants - even Trader Slick
* [[Badass Mustache]]: both Van Pelt and Von Richter
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: See [[Running Gag]].
* [[Bazaar of the Bizarre]]: Trader Slick and his shop. He'll sell and buy just about
* [[Berserk Button]]: Jumanji itself is the berserker. Anyone who cheats or tries to destroy the game receives a horrible in-game punishment.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Peter who gets to be targetted for all of Jumanji's punishements, particular when it comes to being transformed into something else (which means he got to be a ''literal'' example in the first episode). Eventually [[Lampshaded]].
* [[Cross
* [[Cat Fight]]: Aunt Nora and Queen Gina.
* [[Darkest Africa]]: More so than the movie, since they actually ''went'' into Jumanji every episode.
Line 25:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Subverted, during the fight between Aunt Nora and Queen Gina when she nearly jab a spear right between Nora's legs!
* [[Groundhog Day Loop]]: Though an artificially induced one, via the "Slickomatic Chrono Repeater "
* [[Hey,
** Alan is [[Gargoyles|Broadway]] and [[
** And [[Tim Curry]] is Trader Slick. And how.
** Aunt Nora is [[Rugrats|Didi Pickles]].
** Professor Ibsen is [[Blade Runner|JF Sebastian]] and [[Deadwood|EB Farnum]]
** Van Pelt is [[Batman Beyond|Blight]] and [[Men in Black (
** Captain Squint is [[The Critic|Duke Phillips]] and [[Men in Black (
* [[Honest
* [[Humans Are
** It's debatable if they're actually inhuman, though. While the Manjis do look like frightening tribal masks with arms and legs, it seems that they can actually adopt humans into their
* [[Hungry Jungle]]:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Professor Ibsen. Curiously, instead of doing things [[For Science!]], like most Mad Scientists, he instead creates all sorts of mechanical hazards because the game itself somehow tells him to.
** He also acts as the game's [[No Fair Cheating|anti-cheating measure]]: in one episode, Peter accidentally brings a laptop computer into Jumanji. When he somehow finds [[Everything Is Online|an access point]] and attempts to use it to retrieve a record of Alan's clue, Ibsen shows up, messes up the attempt and not only ''steals the computer'', but nearly '''conquers Jumanji with it.''' The computer is destroyed in the process of stopping this, and they never got a replacement, probably because their guardians decided they were too irresponsible to take care of one.
* [[Maniac Monkeys]]
Line 45:
* [[Someone Has to Do It]]: In one episode the gang manages to finally get rid of Van Pelt by luring him off a bottomless pit. Unfortunately, with Van Pelt apparently dead, someone has to take his place...
* [[The Rival]]: Von Richter to Van Pelt
* [[Shout
* [[Toothy Bird]]: not for comical purposes, but to make them more ferocious
* [[The Unintelligible]]: The Manjis speak a language basically made up of staccato clicking, raspberries, spitting sounds, whoops and similar random noises. Despite this, the gamers all learn to understand it and Peter actually manages to pick up a working grasp of speaking it, having learned it from Alan, who's been studying it for the last 23 years. Despite its strange nature, it's evidently extremely
** Jumaki language, meanwhile, is so alien that they need a Jumaki interpretator to communicate with them. It basically sounds like the occasional screeching noise interspersed with a lot of rasps and rumbles.
* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: In the final episode {{spoiler|Alan realises that if he had paid attention to his clue in the first place he could have gotten out by simply removing the thorn from the paw of that lion that was chasing him all the time}}.
** {{spoiler|It's not his fault he got called to dinner at that exact moment}}.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: The Jumaki tribe are humanoid birds, with arms, legs and wings on their shoulders, who show up in episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qmVwWceOYg 16].
* [[Yank the
