Monster High: Difference between revisions

* [[Adorkable]]: Both Ghoulia and Jackson count.

* [[Afraid of Blood]]: Draculaura, the vampire, has a tendency to faint even at the mere mention of blood.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The official website has bios for all the characters and things like their favorite foods, colors, school subjects, and their flaws (which tend to be actual monster attributes rather than simple [[Informed Flaw|informed flaws]]). The dolls come with little diaries written by the charactes themselves that talk about their daily lives. Even the licensed game has bits of continuity you won't get anywhere else!

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Cleo in Season 1, then Toralei, and later Nefera (who [[Up to Eleven|outdoes them BOTH!]]) in Season 2.

** The [[Beach Episode|Gloom Beach]] dolls each have customized one for their character, including Cleo's, which are made to look like mummy wrappings, and Frankie's, made to look like electric bolts.

* [[Cosmetic Catastrophe]]: In one episode, Cleo does this to [[Glamour Failure|Draculaura]] as a practical joke. {{spoiler|[[Springtime for Hitler|It backfires]] as the horrible makeup job impressed Draculaura's crush.}}

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Draculaura, Clawdeen Wolf, and Abbey Bominable.

* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: The whole main cast (including some cute monster ''boys'' as well).

* [[Good Parents]]: Frankie's mom and dad. For a couple of mad scientists, they've got a remarkable knack for knowing what's best for their little girl and what makes her happy without spoiling her either.

** The second basic of Draculaura's diary reveals {{spoiler|that Dracula took her and Draculaura's mother in.}}

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Cleo and Frankie accidentally break a statue together in "Totally Busted", and Cleo blames it entirely on Frankie. {{spoiler|The headmistress is thrilled, because the statue had imprisoned the ghost of Professor Irene Maiden for years in a terrible [[And I Must Scream]] situation, and is incredibly grateful to Frankie for this service to the school, leaving Cleo to start to protest that she did it all ''herself'' instead.}}

* [[Gorgeous Gorgon]]: Deuce, a rare male example.

*** Draculaura's most recent diary provides some tantalizing hints at quite the [[Dark and Troubled Past]]- her father, rather than the Dracula we know, is an even older master vampire (Bram Stoker's villain was a ''less powerful upstart'' who used her father's name to impress and terrorize locals til he fell prey to [[Laser-Guided Karma]]), who took in Draculaura (perhaps just Laura then) and her mother "when no one else would" over a thousand years ago.

* [[Helping Hands]]: Frankie’s hands whenever they fall off.

* [[Hot Mom]]: According to both Deuce and Holt, Frankie Stein's [http://jetrefilm.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/bride_of_frankenstein_elsa_lanchester.jpg mother].

* [[Hollywood Hacking]]: Ghoulia can hack anything in a few seconds with her laptop. Well, almost anything... {{spoiler|she couldn't hack the gossip column to find out who was running it.}}

** Deuce's pet is named [[Greek Mythology|Perseus]]. His mom isn't quite pleased.

* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Frankie Stein, who in all continuities is only 15 ''days'' old when she starts at Monster High.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: The most popular band among young monsters is the [[Jonas Brothers|Jaundice Brothers]].

** [[Justin Bieber (Music)|Justin Biter]] in Nickelodeon's half-hour special. Oddly enough, he looks little like the original.

* [[Schrodingers Cat]]: Alluded to in the end of "Desperate Hours," where Toralei and her fellow cat-girls are herded to a math camp in a bus. The stink balloon they wanted to loose on the seniors (and blame the main ghouls for) bounces toward them...and explodes, releasing the stench into the bus holding the cat-girls. They're not dead, but their yowling hints [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|they are wishing this wasn't happening to them...]]

* [[The Shadow Knows]]: Look carefully at a illustration on Jackson's Gloom Beach box. {{spoiler|You can see Holt Hyde's [[Flaming Hair]].}}

** Frankie is annoyed that her father greets her every morning with a teasing shout of "It's alive!"

** A goofy-looking [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Film)|Leatherface]] lookalike is the biology teacher.

** An obvious shout-out to [[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]] pops up in "Shock and Awesome", complete with a reference to the [[Bishie Sparkle]].

** Lagoona, in arguing with her dad about going to school on land, even writes in her diary, "I know he's just worried about me but I told him that everybody is really scary sweet and they treat me like everybody else and it's not like I've got to [[The Little Mermaid|give up my voice]] or something silly like that..."

** Titles of webisodes and doll lines often do this and there are just too many to list

* [[Sense Freak]]: Everything is new to Frankie, and she wants to experience all of it.

* [[Vegetarian Vampire|Vegan Vampire]]: Draculaura is one of the few genuine articles. She doesn't drink blood at ''all'' to the point she even faints at the mention of it, subsisting on fresh fruits and veggies and lots of iron supplements.

* [[Very Special Episode]]: Kind Campaign: The Shockumentary. Focuses on how negative actions spread and how to stop them.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Clawdeen does ''not'' care for her friends and any of her family associating with each other romantically, so she goes to split up Draculaura and her brother Clawd by proving to them that they aren't right for each other. How does she do this? By dropping a giant steak in front of Draculaura to ''intentionally make her faint'' in front of carnivore Clawd, who didn't know she's vegetarian, just to make a point to him. Quickly gathering that Clawdeen ''knew'' about her friend's intense aversion to meat, he immediately calls her out for it. Afterwards, Clawdeen apologizes for her actions and attitude the past several days, and this marks the start of her learning to live with her brother and friend as a couple.

* [[Writers Cannot Do Math]]: Frankie's age is the most egregious form of this trope.
