Line 19:
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Brianna Beamish.
* [[The Bully]]: Spider lives to make Willy's life miserable and always extorts him for prized possessions.
* [[Can't Get Away Withwith Nuthin']]: Averted at first, then exaggerated later. Taking one ferry token from the fountain is mandatory to progress with the game. Taking a second token gets you instantly hauled off to jail for life.
* [[Console Cameo]]: The Sega CD version changes Willy's Game Buddy to look like a Sega Game Gear.
* [[Copy Protection]]: One of the later puzzles references a picture of a newspaper clipping detailing a hypnosis school that was only available in the manual with the game.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: The Tootsweet Corporation.
* [[Cowboy Bebop Atat His Computer]]: Some game magazines mistakenly printed that the frog was Willy Beamish in their previews of the game.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Averted in the case of Willy himself, to the point that his voice actor (Michael Zibelman, [[One-Book Author|who has no other credits]]), was prominently billed in the opening titles; presumably they saw the casting of a Real Kid ([[Tradesnark|TM]]) as Willy as a selling point. It certainly beats a middle-aged woman, to be sure.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Superlative Dubbing|Awesomely]], the [[Lemony Narrator]] is one of these.
* [[Fast Forward Mechanic]]: On the inventory screen, the player can skip one hour at a time to get to key events. However, be careful not to skip too far before certain actions are taken, or you might get a [[Have a Nice Death]].
* [[Fission Mailed]]: {{spoiler|After liberating the frogs within Humpford Manor, Willy gets caught by Louis and Leona and made to drown... but Turbofrog, Horny and optionally Gigi come to his rescue.}}
* [[Game Within a Game]]: Willy's Nintari has a ''Monster Squad'' cartridge in it that can be checked out via clicking on it. In the PC version, it's relegated to a cutscene of a generic monster-themed [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] clone; in the Sega CD version, it's fully playable and consists of a weird cross of Space Invaders and Tetris.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: A few areas can be pretty frustrating.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: Plenty of them, although they're not "deaths", of course. At least most of them aren't.
* [[Haven't You Seen X Before?|"Haven't You Seen a Mature Woman Before?"]]: Tiffany to Willy in her "rebellious" phase.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Literally.
* [[Housewife]]: Sheila Beamish.
Line 65:
* [[Tomboy]]: Dana paints herself this way, and it works enough that Willy doesn't consider her a "girl" in the same sense he does his sisters.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Pretty much the entire scene with the school bully in the pizza place, from fart gags all the way to an exploding toilet.
* [[Unwinnable Byby Design]]: This being a [[Sierra]] game, there are numerous ways you can [[Lost Forever|leave something behind]] or otherwise screw things up.
* [[Unwinnable By Mistake]]: During the sequence where you are trying to rescue your frog, the puzzle with Chef Childish is based on your system speed, so if your computer is too fast, you won't be able to complete the puzzle. MoSlo or [[DOS Box]] to the rescue here.
* [[Valley Girl]]: Tiffany Beamish.
