Line 9:
* [[Adventure Game]]
* [[All Just a Dream]]: The vampire babysitter, {{spoiler|[[Or Was It a Dream?|apparently]]}}.
* [[Animal Talk]]: Willy's dog
* [[Babysitter From Hell]]: Willy's babysitter turns out to be a vampire.
* [[The "B" Grade]]: Willy has all A's and B's, but somehow, the C grade he got is a huge deal that he's afraid to show to his parents.
* [[Big OMG]]:
{{quote|"Oh my ''gawwwwwwwd''! Daddy has been pink-slipped?!"}}
* [[Black Best Friend]]: Perry.
Line 25:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Superlative Dubbing|Awesomely]], the [[Lemony Narrator]] is one of these.
* [[Fast Forward Mechanic]]: On the inventory screen, the player can skip one hour at a time to get to key events. However, be careful not to skip too far before certain actions are taken, or you might get a [[Have a Nice Death]].
* [[Fission Mailed]]: {{spoiler|After liberating the frogs within Humpford Manor, Willy gets caught by Louis and Leona and made to drown... but Turbofrog, Horny and optionally Gigi come to his rescue
* [[Game Within a Game]]: Willy's Nintari has a ''Monster Squad'' cartridge in it that can be checked out via clicking on it. In the PC version, it's relegated to a cutscene of a generic monster-themed ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]]'' clone; in the Sega CD version, it's fully playable and consists of a weird cross of ''Space Invaders'' and ''Tetris''.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: A few areas can be pretty frustrating.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: Plenty of them, although they're not "deaths", of course. At least most of them aren't.
Line 35:
* [[I Coulda Been a Contender]]: Stated verbatim in one of the [[It's a Wonderful Failure]] screens.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]
* [[Japanese Tourist|Japanese Tourists]]:
* [[Karma Meter]]: Let it get too high, and it's off to [[Military School]].
** The [[Let's Play]] points out that occasionally, the "correct" answer is counterintuitive
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: The Sega CD version, which even shipped with a screensaver known as "Laser Balls" that could be called up at will and played with while the game spooled up a new scene.
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Horny for Gigi.
* [[Midlife Crisis Car]]: Gordon's Grange Rover.
* [[Military School]]: In one of the game overs you can get, Willy ends up shipped to a military school for the summer.
* [[Moon Logic Puzzle]]: The final area, which has Willy running through the Tootsweet complex, has several computer terminals that have to be manipulated. You're not given very many hints as to what to DO with them
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Several. Notably, Leona Humpford resembles Leona "Queen of Mean" Helmsley.
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: At one point in the game, you have to navigate a tram through some tunnels to reach the final area. One tunnel takes you to [[The Twilight Zone]]. Another takes you to one of the EmWay stations in ''[[Rise of the Dragon]]''.
Line 54:
* [[Shmuck Bait]]: Chances are if your job interview consists entirely of being asked whether you can handle making "obscene amounts of money" in an office with a "drop dead view", the offer isn't entirely above board.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The game also has plenty of these.
* [[Skewed Priorities]]:
{{quote|'''Sheila:''' "How are we supposed to make the mortgage and car payments? How are we going to pay for Brianna's gifted preschool program? Or the credit cards, or my facials, or my ''nail wraps?!''"}}
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: Grandpa Beamish.
* [[Standardized Sitcom Housing]]: Despite not being a sitcom, the Bemish Residence matches most of the traits listed.
* [[Stock Ninja Weaponry]]: The Japanese tourists will give you a smoke bomb and a shuriken as a gift. {{spoiler|It's later revealed that they actually are
* [[Take Your Time]]: Averted. The game's events are driven by an [[In-Universe Game Clock]].
* [[Tomboy]]: Dana paints herself this way, and it works enough that Willy doesn't consider her a "girl" in the same sense he does his sisters.
Line 66:
* [[Valley Girl]]: Tiffany Beamish.
* [[White Collar Worker]]: Gordon Beamish.
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]
* [[Yodel Land]]: Turbofrog and his owner
* [[You Get What You Pay For]]: Willy and friends get a free pizza with a coupon. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with their choice of topping, and it gives Willy a bad case of gas that gets him in trouble with the school bully sitting at a nearby table. The girl sums up the situation with "you get exactly what you pay for...".
