Line 33:
* [[Bigger on the Inside]]: Jim's suit, which has tunnels big enough for Jim and Snot to casually crawl through, complete with giant killer security robots wandering them.
{{quote|'''Jim:''' You're right! This IS a violation of the laws of physics! I'll make sure to notify the Physics Police at once!}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Happens at practically '''every''' possible opportunity in this show, believe us.
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: relatively speaking, to the extent that a hyper-evolved worm in a super-suit can be: Jim once had his super-suit replaced with one that one that gave him the strength of a normal person. A normal, really big person, as professor Monkey-for-a-Head found out the hard way.
** Played more straight in "The Origin Of Peter Puppy" when Jim tries to cure Peter's transformations by disposing of the demonic spirit possessing him. This unfortunately also empowered his anthropomorphic abilities and turned him back into a normal non-anthro dog.
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
'''Sword:''' You ''stink'' at this magic power stuff, you know. }}
** Later, Jim tries the Eye of Truth again, this time on Psycrow. Psycrow is unaffected and throws an anvil on top of him.
* [[Description Porn]]: "Professor Monkey-For-a-Head's patented Reducing Cream, in lotion or ointment form".
* [[Determinator]]: Jim in general counts for this, but especially when he's trying to win the Princess' affections.
* [[Disney Death]]: [[Averted]] with Bob's henchcats [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|1, 2 and 3]]. They went to the place where all cats go, [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven|Kitty Heaven]].
Line 102 ⟶ 104:
** Censors were taking a nap during the production of the episode "Peanut of the Apes." First, Jim attempts to increase his show's ratings by appearing, together with Peter, on a beach dressed in thong bikinis complete with Peter commenting "My suit is giving me a snuggie." Later in the same episode Jim barges in on Professor Monkey-For-A-Ahead shouting "Just what do you think you're doing?!" The professor quickly yanks a french maid outfit off of the monkey on his head and counters "Nothing! Nothing at all!"
** A one-time character's name "Ethel" is pronounced incorrectly due to a lisp, sounding like "asshole".
* [[Giant Foot of Stomping]]: One of Psy-Crow's becomes one of these at the end of ''The Book of Doom'''s intro.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Bob has this happen to him on numerous occasions, especially in the mid-intervals. Two of the more notable examples are when he finally manages to make his fishy minions intelligent enough to understand him by mutating them to have giant brains (they become intelligent enough to realise he is a dangerous megalomaniac who must be destroyed and blast him with psychic powers) and when he tries giving them an actual demonstration of what he means by destroying things (a bigger fish leaps out and starts beating him up).
** The episode "Exile of Lucy" has Queen Slug-For-A-Butt dethroned by her henchmen for having no compassion for others. She is exiled to earth where she makes friends with Jim's [[Nosy Neighbor]] and returns, having learned her lesson about friendship, only to kick her henchman off the throne herself.
* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: The Orb of Quite Remarkable Power.
* [[Gross-Out Show]]: Surprisingly averted (for the most part) despite the original ''[[Earthworm Jim (video game)|Earthworm Jim]]'' being a Gross-Out Game.
* [[Gross Up Close-Up]]: Psy-Crow's [[Scenery Porn|gorgeously detailed]] ear canal that [[Squick|looks like the interior of a giant whale's intestines]] in ''The Book of Doom''.
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: Jim, Peter and Snot sneak into a research facility to get Jim's suit back by...walking right through the front entrance, past a pair of security guards. ''And greeting them.''
{{quote|'''Guard 1:''' ...did a giant worm, a talking dog and a smiling booger just walk by?
Line 128 ⟶ 133:
* [[Kid Sidekick]]: Peter Puppy.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Again, Peter Puppy, but a heroic variant.
* [[Klatchian Coffee]]: Becomes the source of Psy-Crow's "hyperactivity" superpower(s) in ''Hyper Psycrow''.
* [[Lame Comeback]]: "Don't play dumb with me, you... dumb guy."
* [[Laughably Evil]]: The ENTIRE [[Rogues Gallery]] is friggin' hilarious.
