Pepper Ann: Difference between revisions

----

== Tropes present include: ==

* [[Adaptation Decay]]: Taken to hilarious extremes [[In-Universe]] with Moose's favorite superheroine, Tundra Woman, in one episode.

** Also with the character of ''Di''di O' ''S''haugh''n''ess''ey'', who is basically Pepper Ann after [[Executive Meddling]].

* [[Adorkable]]: The title character.

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Alice and Trinket

'''Becky:''' No, after that. The swan part. }}

** On the episode where Pepper Ann tries to get her dad to appear on a game show with her, Pepper Ann reads some of her dad's old love letters to her mom...all of which have the risque parts removed (including one letter in which everything is cut except for "Dear Lydia").

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Gwen Mezzrow

* [[Gossipy Hens]]: Tessa and Vanessa

* [[Jewish Mother]]: Averted with Lydia, but played straight with her own mom.

* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: There have been no VHS ''or'' DVD releases of the show.

* [[Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films]]: Pepper Ann gets invited to a slumber party where they will be watching the R-rated film ''Gutter Clowns'', which Lydia warns Pepper Ann against seeing. At first Pepper Ann tries to stop the girls at the party from watching the film but ends up watching it anyway and is terrified for the next few days.

* [[Late for School]]: If the opening is any indication (and the fact that her science teacher has preprinted detention slips made exclusively for Pepper Ann's tardiness), Pepper Ann is late every day.

* [[Mama Bear]]: Lydia is hinted at having this side to her. One time, she physically threatens a waiter who is making her late for Pepper Ann's play.

** In the ''Romeo & Juliet'' episode, Pepper Ann, Nicky, and Milo wind up in Ms. Stark's.

* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: Nicky Little is just as skinny as her two friends, but ridiculously strong. A childhood flashback shows that ''she'' was the [[Cute Bruiser|local bully]], overpowering a much larger kid who would normally be considered the bully.

* [[Musical Episode]]: Parodied, with everything suddenly turning into a musical with Pepper Ann being the only one who notices everyone is bursting into song and dance spontaneously.

* [[My Hair Came Out Green]]: Pepper Ann's hair turns green when she tries dyeing it ''blue''.

* [[New Transfer Student]]: Amber, the Locker Bandit.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: An in-universe example that's [[Played for Laughs]]. Nicky and Becky are both terrified of swans, and none of them remembers why. At the end of the episode, their mom throws a box of their old toys out...and inside is a swan that, when active, has glowing red eyes and says, "Swan wants to PLAAAAAAAYYYYY" in a very intentionally scary voice.

** [[Mark Hamill]] is a [[Recurring Character]] with [[Running Gag|strong jokey overtones]]. [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|In the near future]], he is elected President.

* [[Noodle People]]: Every character. Even the overweight characters have skinny arms.

* [[Rise of Zitboy]]: "Ziterella"

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Most of the family (and the viewers) thought Moose was a boy until the Thanksgiving episode.

* [[Science Fair]]: An area of contention between Pepper Ann and Alice.

* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Craig Bean to Pepper Ann.

* [[Shoulder Angels]]: Sort of. Pepper Ann often deals with situations by talking/arguing to her reflection, which can on any given day be her conscience and chide her for doing something wrong, be her anti-conscience and encourage her to not think about consequences, reassure her about something, express her doubts, or simply be her common sense, which loops back to being her conscience.

* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Between Nicky and Becky. Nicky is jealous that Becky has all sorts of athletic trophies and good-name stuff under her belt and her parents ''clearly'' favoured her whenever she was around. However, when she finally confronts Becky about this, Becky admits that Nicky is far more creative (Being more musically inclined) and is ''far'' stronger than she is. [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you consider that even if Becky has athletic trophies; they're all for more agility-based sports.

* [[Slice of Life]]: Was made when this genre was starting to get popular.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Pepper Ann and Nicky.

* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]: The title character has one, and yes, she's a tomboy.

* [[Tsundere]]: Gwen Mezzrow acted this way towards Milo.

* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: Though it's aged better than other examples.
