* [[Acting Unnatural]]: A scientist observes the fibers in an evil sofa that brainwashes people into becoming couch potatoes. Said fibers turn out to be ''alive'', and one of them shouts "We're being watched! Act natural!", followed by the fibers indulging in [[Not-So-Innocent Whistle|Not So Innocent Whistling]].
* [[Action Girl]]: Princess What's-Her-Name
Line 144 ⟶ 143:
** "Note to self: do not throw super-villains at buses full of orphans."
* [[Hilarity Ensues]]
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: During the introduction scene of ''The Book Of Doom'', this somehow manages to happen '''twice'''; first, Psy-Crow shrinks Jim and Peter to microscopic sizes so that he can crush them "[[Metaphorgotten|like some easily crushed thing]]", only for Jim and Peter to then use their new sizes to fly into one of his ears and then hijack his brain in order to make him dance...and then Psy-Crow's resulting ('''very''' bad) dancing ironically results in him crushing Jim and Peter beneath one of his [[Giant Foot of Stomping|massive feet]] after the two of them fly back out of his head through the same ear canal that they entered it through (whether or not Psy-Crow did that on purpose is unknown, however).
* [[How We Got Here]]: One episode starts with Psycrow and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head gloating over how they defeated (and taxidermied) Jim, and most of the episode is spent in flashbacks explaining how they got to that point. {{spoiler|Turns out their taxidermist was Peter in disguise, and Jim wasn't really taxidermied at all.}}
* [[Hulking Out]]: Peter Puppy is normally a good guy, but if he gets scared or hurt, his monstrous alter ego takes it out on whoever is in the vicinity, which usually is Jim.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: At the end of the intro to ''The Book of Doom'', after Jim and Peter [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|use the “microscopic” size that Psycrow has shrunk them to]] to [[Fantastic Voyage Plot|fly into one of his ear canals]] and then take control over his brain in order to make him dance, Peter tells Jim that “[[Talks Like a Simile|once again, villainy is as a bug beneath his mighty heel]]”; surely enough, one of Psycrow’s [[Giant Foot of Stomping|massive feet]] [[Laser-Guided Karma|crushes both him and Jim]] not even a minute later.
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: The Master of Wow-Lin, whom Jim claims to have studied under. He spouts nothing but useless platitudes so nonsensical even Jim is quick to realize he's "a senile old [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|bat-nugget]]"
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Jim has four [[Informed Ability|incredibly advanced worm brains]].
