* [[Frame Break]]: Among its many fourth-wall gags.

* [[Floorboard Failure]]: In Little Nemo in Slumberland, Nemo and Flip are served a new kind of breakfast food that gives them a [[Balloon Belly]]. The chairs start to collapse underneath their weight, and then the floors, leading to the entire house being demolished.

* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]

** In one comic there's a giant named Boob. Hearing someone say "Wait until I see that Boob!" can make modern readers chuckle.

* [[Non-Ironic Clown]]: Though Flip's being a [[Cigar Chomper|cigar-chomping]] [[The Trickster|Trickster]] is somewhat ironic, he's far from a [[Monster Clown]].

* [[Owl Be Damned]]: It is averted by the owl in the comics from 1910, when Nemo is touring Earth in his dreams.

* [[Pig Latin]]: The Professor (who is not to be confused with Professor Genius from the movie) speaks only in Pig Latin.

* [[Police Are Useless]]: [http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/display.php?id=680&full=1 McCay lampshades it.]

* [[Save the Villain]]: When Flip was still the antagonist Nemo did save him a few times, most notably when King Morpheus' firing squad was about ready to execute Flip, and Nemo ran in front of him to stop it. Of course Flip was less than grateful, because in the next installment he convinces his Uncle Dawn to bring forth the sun and ruin the King's Thanksgiving dinner by waking everyone up.

* [[Scenery Porn]]

* [[Sky Pirates]]: They attack the royal airship in one installment.

* [[Sunday Strip]]
