Line 124:
* [[Tongue-Tied]]: Several films have Costello needed to impart some important information, usually that the movie's villain is nearby. However, while he mimes speaking the words, he's so scared that he literally cannot make any kind of audible sound.
* [[Two-Person Love Triangle]]: in the romantic subplot in ''Jack and the Beanstalk''
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: Costello sings one in ''Buck Privates'', although it's more of a "The Army Sucks Song". Of course, the drill sergeant is [[Right Behind Me|rightframe behind him]].
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Onscreen, this was played straight. Offscreen, though, the "Best Buds" part was questionable.
* [[Weak-Willed]]: In one film, a psychologist tries to hypnotize Lou Costello. Lou proves to be completely immune, but the psychologist accidentally hypnotizes himself. Then Lou wakes him up, and managed to accidentally hypnotizes him again mere seconds later.
