(And another one...)
Line 16:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Celia Gray. She can scream for over a half-an-hour and suffer no vocal problems.
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Played with.
* [[Beauty Inversion]]: spun into a ''plot point'' for Nanny McPhee. {{spoiler|Every time the children learn something, one of her many hideous blemishes disappeardisappears. By the time her job is done, she's a completely unblemished Emma Thompson. Essentially, she's as ugly on the outside ''as they are on the inside''.}}
* [[Be Careful What You Say]]: see [[Playing Sick]] below.
** In the sequel, the farm kids refuse to share their beds with the city kids, claiming they'd rather share their beds with the farm's goat and cow. Then the smallest farm kid blurts out "elephant" as his choice, leading up to Nanny McPhee trying to hide a literal [[Elephant in the Living Room]].
Line 56:
* [[Spot of Tea]]
* [[The Stinger]]: At the end of the sequel, {{spoiler|the elephant gets to enjoy the Scratch-o-Matic machine that was designed for the pigs.}}
* [[Suggested By]]: The ''[[wikipedia:Nurse Matilda|Nurse Matilda]]'' books. The first movie is a reasonable adaptation of the first book, but the second film only barely acknowledges the source material.
* [[Time Bomb]]: Of a sort, in the sequel.
* [[Title Drop]]: in the sequel, a war veteran warns Maggie Gyllenhaal and family of the threat of bombings, calling it 'the Big Bang'.
