Line 7:
* [[Adorkable]]: While not as much as Gretchen or Gus, his optimistic nature mixed with his ditzy moments and sweetness comes out as this. And in kindergarten, he was a [[Shrinking Violet]].
* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: TJ has a nebbishy father and an overprotective mother, and once played "Harvey Hanukkah" in the school holiday pageant.
* [[Art Evolution]]: In season one, he was a lot chubbier (and moreso in the more [[Off -Model]] episodes of the season) and had highlights in his eyes, which were gone by season two for unknown reasons (either because he was the only character that had them and it looked weird, or because the artists forgot to draw them 50% of the time anyway so they were removed)
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Badbutt]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Four words: Don't. Mess. With. Recess.
** Or messing with his fun in general. [[ItsIt's Personal|Which is the reason why he went and thwarted the evil plans to get rid of summer vacation]] in [[The Movie]].
** And while he doesn't go "berserk" he gets very pissed if he's made to take his hat off against his own will, or called fat.
* [[Big Beautiful Man|Big Cute Boy]]: He's more heavy-set than the other main six (not to Mikey's levels), and he has the most fangirls within the fandom.
Line 60:
* [[Round Bushy Hair]]: [[Depending On the Artist]] when he's not wearing his hat
* [[Rousing Speech]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Vince's blue.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Manly Man to Mikey and Gus' Sensitive Guy. (One of two)
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: When he was in kindergarten (until Gus came).
Line 75:
* [[The Ace]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Balloon Belly]]: In "I Will Kick no More Forever", after being showed up in kickball and goes into a depression, which included [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|binging out on root beer and donuts]]
* [[Black Best Friend]]
* [[Break the Haughty]]: In "I Will Kick no More Forever'' he actually has a [[Despair Event Horizon]] {{spoiler|over one of the Ashley's kicking better than him.}}
Line 85:
* [[Lovable Jock]]
* [[Miyu Irino]]: In the Japanese dub; [[The Other Darrin]] for Taya Hayabusa.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to T.J.'s red.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Manly Man to Mikey and Gus' Sensitive Guy. (One of two)
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: A more low-key example, he occasionally develops an ego due to being [[The Ace]].
* [[Sour Supporter]]: In the first few episodes. This was downplayed later
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Probably the only kid in the show that has one, man.
Line 115:
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Miss Grotke
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Despite being quick tempered and violent, she's always rooting for the underdog and protecting her friends
* [[Last -Name Basis]]: Justified in that her first name carries a stigma on the playground.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: In the pilot, as she looked like she never left kindergarten.
* [[One of the Boys]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Gretchen's blue.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: As seen in "The Beauty Contest".
* [[Star -Making Role]]: Along with [[King of the Hill|Bobby Hill]], Spinelli was this for Pamela Segall-Aldon (in terms of voice acting).
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Gretchen's Girly Girl.
* [[Tsundere]]
Line 152:
* [[Meganekko]]
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Spinelli's red.
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Sickly Neurotic Geek]]: She has the voice, but that's about it
Line 186:
* [[Non Singing Voice]]: Robert Goulet preforms his singing voice, which leads to...
** [[Singing Voice Dissonance]]: And he sounds nothing like his speaking voice. [[Rule of Funny]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Gus' blue.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Sensitive Guy to TJ and Vince's Manly Man. (One of two)
 
Line 202:
* [[Black Bead Eyes]]: Probably the only character in the show with this eye style.
** (With the exception of Becky Benson, Gretchen's rival in ''Science Fair'').
* [[Blind Without 'Em]]
* [[Breakout Character]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: When the plot called for it.
Line 208:
** He often says, "All my life, [insert something here]"
* [[Cowardly Lion]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's a one-kid army at dodgeball.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: His broken base aside, Gus is probably one of the most adorable characters in the show. Doesn't hurt that his voice actor, Courtland Mead was one.
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: He's not really "dumb", just ''very'' gullible.
Line 229:
* [[Non Standard Character Design]]
* [[The Other Marty]]: Ryan O`Donahue (who already was Digger Dave and Randall) played Gus in his first episode in the initial airing. Courtland Mead (whom some 1990s cartoon watchers may recognize as [[Nightmare Ned]]) dubbed over his lines for the reruns and played Gus since then.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Dave is the red oni to Sam's blue oni.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Dave and Randall in any scene together, as both are voiced by Ryan O`Donohue
** Sam ends up getting Dave's voice actor in ''Taking the Fifth Grade'' as well, due to his originaly voice actor, Klee Bragger, going through puberty. He does return to voice him at the end of the movie, [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] his voice change.

Line 585:
* [[A Nazi By Any Other Name]]
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: His episode is one of the darkest episodes of the series and every scene he appears in takes a darker turn. Not to mention, that unlike all other antagonists, his actions are played seriously and he is downright cruel (calling TJ sappy boy, just because he showed emotion and humilliated him in front of the school) and every other characters fear him, even TJ, who normally stands up to evils of adults.
* [[One -Scene Wonder]]: Despite appearing in one episode, he is the cruelest character in the entire series and is one of few antagonists of the series that can be called truly evil.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Put emphasis on [[Complete Monster|sadist]] part.
