Line 37:
* [[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 Onon the Writer]]: Characters can either become charming and playful and can be friendly to each other (with only slight insults) and become jerks for the sake of humor sometimes. Eric gets the ''worst'' out of this. He's either [[Closer to Earth]] or tuns just as stupid as Trevor, or an even ''worse'' example, he either is shy of Kitty's crush on him, or...treats her like an absolute [[Jerkass]] like if her crushing on him is the worst thing ever. Doesn't help that he has a crush on Vana, who's treats him like utter crap. Headdesk moment, anyone?
* [[Deranged Animation]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]
Line 77:
** 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 Onon the Writer|depending on the writer]].
* [[The Professor]]: Pampelmoose
* [[Punny Name]]: Pick a villain, any villain. Examples include Man Maid and Drilliam Shakespeare.
Line 94:
* [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]]: Maxum Man's secret identity is Mr. Maxummin.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: XOX and Pampelmoose.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Kitty can take her crush on Eric to creepy levels.
** 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.
