Line 21:
* Lampshaded by almost all the villains Gohan fights in one-on-one battle in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. Goku also suffered from this in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' series and in ''GT'', which annoyed him even more, as he was reaching his sixties and was one of the strongest beings in the universe.
** Subverted with gleeful enthusiasm in [[Dragonball Z Abridged]] whenever they can get some footage to support it.
{{quote|'''Gohan:''' I'm not going to back down. I might be younger than you, smaller than you, weaker than you, and much less experienced, [[Brick Joke|but I learned more about peach farming than you...]][[This Is Gonna Suck|I think this was a horrible decision.]]
'''Recoome:''' [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Recoome agrees.]] }}
* Prevalent in [[Nasuverse]] works. Then again, the one saying it is usually [[Our Vampires Are Different|far]] [[All Myths Are True|beyond]] mere humans.
Line 169:
** It's simultaneously averted and played straight (by Yue and Aang respectively) in the season one finale (which, coincidentally was aptly named "[[The Siege]] of the North").
{{quote|'''Aang:''' I must have taken out a dozen Fire Navy ships, but there's just too many of them. I can't fight them all.
'''[[The Chief's Daughter|Yue]]:''' But, [[Because Destiny Says So|you have to!]] You're the [[The Only One|Avatar!]]
'''Aang:''' I'm just one kid. ''(buries his head in his arms)'' }}
*** Played straight by Aang in that he later goes on to use his Avatar powers (with a little help) to {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|destroy the entire fleet]]}}. "Just one kid" indeed.
Line 177:
** Also referred to in the opening theme. ("...Danny Fenton, he was just fourteen, when...")
* A huge theme of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is the fact they ''are'' just kids, yet still manage to do so many bizarre and amazing things; this is the main reason that their mother [[Refuge in Audacity|never believes Candace]] when [[Cassandra Truth|she tries to bust them]].
{{quote|'''Adult:''' [[Mad Libs Catchphrase|Aren't you a little young to be [insert whatever Phineas and Ferb are doing]?]]
'''Phineas:''' [[Blunt Yes|Yes]], [[Running Gag|yes I am.]] }}
** Parodied when Candace once asks the boys (renowned for making bizarre inventions) why they couldn't just create some way of fixing their rocket ship without necessitating a space walk. The boys simply stare at her for a moment before Ferb comments, "Candace, we ''are'' just kids."
