Line 8:
Can be seen on [[YTV]] in Canada and [[Cartoon Network]] in the States.

{{tropelist}}
* [[The Ace]]: Vana
* [[Action Girl]]: Vana. Kitty has her moments as well.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: "Pampelmoose" is French for 'Grapefruit'. Lampshaded when Eric tastes some of Pampelmoose-turned-evil-plant and notes that it tastes 'Pampelmoosey, with a hint of citrus'.
* [[Bollywood Nerd]]: Maxum Man's Super Computer, Maxum Brain, has an Indian Accent.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: "A rooster? Rutabaga? ''A roostabaga?''"
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Eric
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Eric is an orphan. He usually [[
* [[Can't Spit It Out]]: Or, more accurately, spits it out all the time. Kitty has a not-so-secret crush on Eric, and reveals it all the time, but whenever she gets a little too lovey-dovey, Eric asks "What?", with Kitty responding with her own "What?" If Eric is aware at all of Kitty's feelings, he doesn't show it and definitely does not return them.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Eric
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [[Deconstruction]]: The in-world universe treats sidekicks as if they were objects, punching bags, etc., which can lead to making every student masochistic.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: This one doubles as a genius bonus. In "Ain't No Party Like a Maxum Brain Party", Eric suggests pulling out some of Maxum Brain's RAM Memory to lighten him up a bit. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. So he suggested pulling out some Random Access Memory Memory.
* [[Depending
* [[Deranged Animation]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[The Eeyore]]: Eric has moments with this trope
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Mr. Troublemeyer/Master XOX tries constantly to be a good father. But Trevor makes it very hard to do so.
* [[Evil Parents Want Good Kids]]: Mr. Troublemeyer tries to keep Trevor from turning evil and even put him in the [[Super
* [[Evil Teacher]]: Technically Professor Pampelmoose
* [[Expy]]: Eric is similar to [[The Ricky Gervais Show|the animated Karl Pilkington]]
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
* [[Genre Blindness]]: In "Endless Summer" Eric notices how Trevor's dad and Master XOX bear a striking resemblance to each other and how their RV is full of menacing inventions. He puts two and two together... and figures that the former is building the inventions for the latter.
* [[Gonk]]: Pampelmoose
* [[Gross
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Oh so very much.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
** Eric is completely oblivious to the fact that Kitty has a crush on him. Or maybe subverted. He IS aware, he's not interested in her, but the writers do zig-zag whether he's aware or unaware of it. He's probably pretending, but it makes the "What?" [[Running Gag]] just more strange and awkward.
** Subverted with Vana; she knows Eric has a crush on her, but doesn't return to feeling. Eric is either unaware of this, or is trying hard to change her mind.
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Person]]: Vana, Eric or Kitty, [[Depending
* [[The Professor]]: Pampelmoose
* [[Punny Name]]: Pick a villain, any villain. Examples include Man Maid and Drilliam Shakespeare.
Line 83 ⟶ 82:
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Professor Pampelmoose
* [[Sanity Ball]]: Even ''Trevor'' gets thrown to this.
* [[Scooby
** Used in "Moustachesquatch" when the gang is chasing/being chased by the moustache monster. Rather than actual doors they use caves.
** Played straight in "House of Helmut", followed by Trevor running into a closed door, knocking down the whole wall, and [[Up to Eleven|having the others comes out of one of the knocked down doors]].
Line 94 ⟶ 93:
* [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]]: Maxum Man's secret identity is Mr. Maxummin.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: XOX and Pampelmoose.
* [[Stalker
** Kitty in general. When a famous teen movie star appears she near-completely forgets about Eric during the duration of the star's visit and goes to much greater lengths for her stalker-dom.
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: The town is usually destroyed once an episode. [[It Gets Better]] by the next one.
Line 106 ⟶ 105:
** "The dust bunnies are starting to multiply". Cut to a scene of bunnies doing multiplication on a chalk board.
** Splitsboro's good and evil sides are separated by a railroad, meaning that the people who live on the evil side are literally born on the wrong side of the tracks.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Trevor for Eric and Vana for Kitty.
* [[World Gone Mad]]: Splitsboro
