Line 9:
* [[New Job Episode]]: "Help Wanted", even though Calvin is far too young for a job.
* [[New Year Has Come]]: "New Year, New Disasters"
* [[New YearsYear's Resolution]]: "New Year, New Disasters": Calvin's is to upgrade his inventions, Hobbes' is to break the current tuna-eating record, Socrates' is to prank four million people, Sherman's is to invent something useful, and finally Andy's is to [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|pay Calvin's bond should he land in jail.]]
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Socrates. This line from "New Year, New Disasters" sums it up best:
{{quote|"Gang's all here! Cally! Hobbo! Ando and Vermin!" <ref> This is the first time he called Andy "Ando" in the whole series.</ref>}}
Line 58:
** Also [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in "Robot's Day Out": after Jack abruptly stands upright and leaves, Dr. Brainstorm asks [[Continuity Nod|if he's]] [[Morality Dial|turned evil]] [[Continuity Nod|again.]]
** See [[Oh Crap]] for [[Overly Long Gag|yet another example]] with Jack.
** Hobbes is the first one to pick up a weapon during the climax of "Thunderstorm". Needless to say, [[Took a Level Inin Badass|it's on.]]
** Dr Brainstorm in particular has a lot of moments where he's serious and driven. It disturbs the other characters quite a bit.
* [[Open Says Me]]: Calvin's mom ''kicks her son's door down'' in "Robot's Day Out".
Line 86:
* [[Product Placement]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the trailer for the second season:
{{quote|'''Narrator:''' A season of... product placement?
'''Hobbes:''' Who's up for the ''[[What About Bob?]]'' [[Department of Redundancy Department|movie!]]<br />
'''Calvin and Socrates:''' I AM! }}
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Jack, who regularly chats with the heroes and doesn't really care much for Dr. Brainstorm's schemes.
Line 149:
** [[Morality Dial|Evil Jack]] seems to have an electrically-charged [[Power Fist|fist.]]
** The [[Creepy Monotone|clones]] also use this.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series/Shout -Out|Now has its own page!]]
* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]: Sherman fears this in "That's MISTER Sherman to You!".
* [[Snarky Non-Human Sidekick]]: Jack.
Line 206:
{{quote|'''Tiger Eye:''' Everyone get back! You're all in danger! Run to safety!
''(The crowd moves into the street, where they're immediately hit by a truck)'' }}
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Calvin gets a lot more serious during the fourth season. {{spoiler|His manipulating of the titular "Invasion" is a little eerie to behold.}}
** It gets even more impressive during the Season Five premiere, where he {{spoiler|manages to orchestrate events so that Rupert Chill will become trapped in his human disguise for the police to find, mistaking him for an escaped convict.}}
* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: Calvin uses a singular variant using stilts to get on an amusement park ride in "The Genius Hamster".
