Line 71:
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Frank has this with his gang, especially Gus.
** Lupo towards his younger siblings.
* [[Birds of a Feather]]:
** Frank and Henrietta: Both are [[Nice Guy|nice people]] who genuinely want to help others, yet their methods (his inventions for Frank, her pills for Henrietta) of helping end up usually backfiring. They also struggle with [[Self-Deprecation|self-loathing]] due to complexes about their bodies (Frank with his body image, Henrietta with her {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]}}). Fittingly enough, they're both [[Twice Shy]] about their crushes on one another.
** Lupo and Nieve both come from humble backgrounds, tend to [[Troll|screw people over]], and can be quite sarcastic; yet they're [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|genuinely good people]] who will do anything for their friends.
* [[Bitch Alert]]: When Miss Hit appears for the first time, it's clear she's bad news. [[Punctuated for Emphasis|Very. bad. news]].
* [[Black Comedy]]
Line 177 ⟶ 180:
** Victor is an ''epic'' target of this trope.
** In later chapters, this ends up happening to [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]], of all people. He has spent most of the series trolling [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] in a classic [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]] scenario. Once he encounters [[An Ice Person|Nieve]], he gets a taste of this with Nieve screwing him over with his [[Sticky Fingers]].
** Nieve herself gets her karma when she has to deal with the others' crazy shenanigans.
* [[Like an Old Married Couple]]: Piruja teases both Lupo and Nieve with this.
{{quote|'''Piruja''': ''*giggles*'' Guys, you argue like Victor and me, so coupl-y.
'''Lupo and Nieve''': ''*[[Luminescent Blush|blushing]]*'' [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|No way!]]}}
* [[Love At First Sight]]: This is how [[Cute Witch|Piruja]] fell for [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]]. This is also true with [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]]'s crush on [[Rose-Haired Girl|Henrietta]].
* [[Love Hurts]]: The main reason why Frank wants to create the Perfeccionator, alongside his self-esteem issues.
Line 198 ⟶ 205:
** In the third album's longer story, Frank suffers one. As to how it ends... well, see below.
** {{spoiler|In the [[All Just a Dream]] story,}} Henrietta makes Lupo experience one of this to expel Victor, since he accidentally ate him when he was transformed into a sandwich ([[It Makes Sense in Context|don't ask]]). [[Sleepyhead|He falls asleep in the middle of it]].
* [[Potty Failure]]: Frank has one in one of the third album's stories. Given [[Body Horror|what he was looking at]], you'll probably [[Bring My Brown Pants|piss yourself too]].
** One of these gives "birth" to Frank's pet [[Talking Poo|Caca Einstein]]. Yeah...
** Lupo invokes this to get out of [[An Ice Person|
* [[Puppy Love]]: All the minimonster romances by default.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: As a group, The Frank's gang (Blue) towards Morty's gang (Red).
* [[Rotating Protagonist]]: Although Victor is the lead character, the story focuses on other characters as well.
Line 207 ⟶ 215:
{{quote|'''Gus''': V-Victor, can we scream l-like little girls now?
'''Victor''': ''*running away*'' [[This Is Gonna Suck|YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!]]}}
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]:
** In "The Monster Hunter", we have [[Shipper on Deck|Piruja]] lampshading the [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] trope regarding [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]] and [[Sticky Fingers|Nieve]], who react like this. Again, [[Sarcasm Mode|totally credible, guys]].
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]
* [[Sleepyhead]]: Lupo '''IS''' this trope so far, exceeding the absurdity limit. Also a Running Gag of the comic.
Line 247 ⟶ 256:
'''Victor''': Bobblehead!
'''Frank''': Snot!}}
** A [[Puppy Love]] example with [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Lupo and Nieve]], with Piruja enthusiastically lampshading it.
* [[Walking Disaster Area]]: Buena Suerte’s causes great accidents when he’s around. The only thing that could stop his disastrous luck is {{spoiler|being inside Lupo’s stomach.}}
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Victor}} in the fourth album, albeit reluctantly.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: "El Perfeccionator"
* [[Wham! Line]]: In the second album, we have this, which sets a notable [[Mood Whiplash]] and things become [[Serious Business]] (This doesn't quit the comedic elements totally, though).
{{quote|'''Frank''': [[Rose-Haired Girl|She]] came to see me... That means she cares! I wonder when I could see her again...
