Line 22:
* [[Badass Santa]]: The epsiode "For Whom The Jungle Bell Tolls" reveals that Santa is actually the Norse God of Judgment. "May the Naughty tremble!"
** In the same episode, while under the Queen's Mind Control, Santa shows some espionage and gadgetry knowledge, attempting to destroy Jim with "The Kissing Ball of Death" which Jim averts, then steps on.
* [["BANG!" Flag Gun]]: In "Bring Me the Head of Earthworm Jim", after Jim gets the weak suit:
{{quote| '''Jim:''' Eat dirt, nefarious--<br />
''(Jim pulls the trigger, and a flag pops out of the gun. It says, "YOU LOSE, WORM")''<br />
Line 52:
{{quote| '''Jim:''' ...Well? Are they clapping?<br />
'''Peter:''' A few of 'em, most of them are just changing the channel. }}
* [["Close Enough" Timeline]]
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]
* [[Comedic Hero]]
Line 62:
* [[Couch Gag]]: The many, many variations of the "cow falls on somebody" closing gag. Sometimes it would fall on Jim, sometimes on the villain, sometimes on the very thing Jim spent the entire episode trying to save. And let's not forget the Evil Cow:
{{quote| '''Evil cow:''' You fools. I shall destroy you all. Starting with the lactose-intolerant. Moo moo. Moo.}}
* [[Crack! Oh, My Back!]]: Lower Back Pain Man.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Peter Puppy
** [[Servile Snarker|He's still pretty loyal]].
Line 154:
** Also, most episodes has Peter Puppy turning into a monster whenever he gets hurt or scared.
** Every episode ends with a cow falling from the sky for no reason. It usually lands on Jim.
* [[One -Shot Character]]: Grayson, immediately dubbed as "Turlawk's Resident Boy Genius and President of the Earthworm Jim Fan Club" only appears in the episode "Upholstered Peril," convieniently providing scientific explanations for the evil furniture, and subbing for Peter, who is turned into a zombified couch potato.
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Princess What's-Her-Name.
* [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: The president in this series, [[Lampshade Hanging|as he points out in every episode he appears in]], is one of those generic presidents TV shows use to keep from being dated.
Line 166:
* [[Parental Bonus]]: Peter reading a framed letter from [[Harry Truman|President Truman]]. "Thank you for your kind offer to end World War II, [[Dude, Not Funny|but we have a bomb we wanna try out]]."
* [[Planet of Hats]]: Almost every planet in the universe is one, from the Planet of Very Tall Things to the Planet of Easily Frightened People (Psycrow loves this planet)
* [[Play -Along Prisoner]]: Jim only stays in prison because he's convinced that all the evil deeds Evil Jim committed were done by a split personality. Once he finds out he really ''does'' have an evil twin, he promptly burrows underground and escapes.
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Jim's assorted variants on his "Eat dirt!" line
* [[Prison Episode]]: Jim turns himself in to the police in one episode after hearing about his [[Evil Twin]] committing crimes and coming to the conclusion that he's actually developed a [[Jekyll and Hyde]]-style [[Split Personality]].
Line 178:
* [[Running Gag]]: What is haggis ''made from'' again?
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: [[Averted]], in that Jim keeps insisting that Princess Whats-Her-Name is so '''[[Everyone Can See It|obviously]]''' his girlfriend... except nobody, not even '''''[[Oblivious to Love|the Princess]]''''' knows what he's talking about.
* [[Shout -Out]]: To, of all things, [[Dune]] and [[Pulp Fiction]].
** The description of haggis is, word for word, from one of the flashbacks in ''[[Highlander (Film)|Highlander]]''.
** [[Goldfinger (Film)|"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, no, no, Mr. Jim! I expect you to fry!"]]
Line 200:
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Done frequently. Often a premise for mid-interval shorts in the first season with one of the [[Rogues Gallery]] [[A Day in The Limelight|in lead role]].
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Apparently condiment theft is a truly atrocious crime in the Earthworm Jim universe.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Most of the Galactic Justice League falls under this category (Turns-His-Eyelids-Inside-Out Boy and Zantor, Master of the Flying Toupee, are prime examples of this trope)
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: ''Everything'' for the Planet of Easily Frightened People.
