Line 33:
* [[All There in the Manual]]: There's several information about the characters and setting that isn't present in the comics.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Although is a male character and isn't popular, Morty definitely fits this trope. His girlfriend Guillotine is more of a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]].
** Victor is a deconstruction. He has the [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|looks]], the [[Spoiled Brat|wealth]], and ''definitely'' the [[Jerkass|attitude]] that
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: If there's something [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Victor and Frank]] have in common, is that their families are embarrassing ''as hell''. In the third album's longest story, the Von Piros and the Einsteins meet and, needless to say, it doesn't end well.
** Piruja doesn't have it as grave as the above two, but she's exasperated at her mother's constant [[Serial Romeo]] [[Anything That Moves]] behavior.
Line 41:
* [[Badass Crew]]: Frank’s gang can be this when it’s convenient. [[Failure Hero|Or, at least, they try]].
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: In one story, Frank wanted a pet like his friends Victor and Piruja. He got it, of course... a [[Talking Poo|Living Poo]]. Ugh... Yay?
* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]]: The reason why Henrietta fell for Frank is because he helped her when she needed it most. {{spoiler|Namely, stopping her [[Super Powered Evil Side]] from causing more harm to the town.}} His general [[Nice Guy]] attitude just drives this home further.
* [[Beta Couple]]: [[The Sociopath|Morty]] and [[Perky Goth|Guillotine]], weirdly enough. They may be [[Unholy Matrimony|huge jackasses]], but are definitely more stable than [[All Love Is Unrequited|Victor/Piruja]] and [[Will They or Won't They?|Frank/Henrietta]].
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Piruja's main love interests, Frank (Betty) and Victor (Veronica). She used to have a crush on Frank before moving on with Victor. In a subversion, none of the two are remotely interested in her, with Victor demeaning her as an [[Abhorrent Admirer]].
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
** One could argue the whole series is trying to do this for [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Victor]].
* [[Brick Joke]]: In the third album's longest story, Frank makes a joke at his sister Francesca's expense by telling her [[Big Friendly Dog|Victor's dog Chopped]] is someone suited for her. Four pages later, we see her playing with said dog, and looking happy about it.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Lupo is slow due to his constant sleepiness, but he is very far from being stupid
* [[The Bully]]: Quasim is the fearsome bully of Villa Susto, being a [[Dumb Muscle|dumb]] [[The Brute|brute]] with [[Super Strength]] who picks on little kids (particularly poor [[The Cutie|Gus]]). The only one who has been able to knock him out is Henrietta's evil [[Split Personality]] [[Jekyll and Hyde|Miss Hit]].
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Frank and Henrietta definitely have feelings for each other, but they can't tell their feelings because of [[Twice Shy|shyness]]. Also,
** [[Word of God]] says [[Official Couple|they’re a couple]]. Moreover, the author said that he created Henrietta, so Frank could get a girlfriend.
** The cover of the second album [http://dreamers.com/davidramirez/PortadillaMiniMonsters2.jpg confirms this].
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: A lot of the characters in the comic had shown progress and depths starting with the second album.
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: The fourth album has a straight example. {{spoiler|While the [[Opposing Sports Team|Muerte Chunga Team]] does manage to score by cheating,
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: This is used a lot in the album's plot arcs.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Again, also used in the story-driven albums.
