Line 54:
* [[Evil Tastes Good|It feels delicious to be so vicious!]]: Gnorga says this during her [[Villain Song]].
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: Gnorga and Llort, respectively.
* [[Fake American]]: The parents, [[WTH? Casting Agency|who for some reason are voiced by none other than]] Jonathan Pryce and Hayley Mills. [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|They don't do a very good job of it.]]
** [[They Just Didn't Care|You're saying that like they were even trying...]]
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: What Llort inaccurately insists Stanley's exile to Earth would be.
Line 77:
* [["I Want" Song]]: <s>"Somewhere That's Green"</s> "Absolutely Green", actually. That one's [[Little Shop of Horrors|a different story entirely.]]
** Although both stories end with {{spoiler|[[Nightmare Fuel|plants completely covering a major metropolitan city]]}}.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Gus is, to be frank, a brat. However, he does care for his sister, and goes to rescue her from Gnorga even when Stanley is too scared to help.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: In a way, Llort, who becomes the acting ruler of Troll World at the end of the film, despite being entirely responsible for all the chaos that has happened (if not for him, Gnorga would have simply "Stoned" Stanley). He still gets bitten by the dog, [[Running Gag|but that's nothing new]].
* [[Karmic Transformation]]: Gnorga is turned into a flower bush. She also briefly turns Gus into a Troll.
Line 100:
** Actually does make sense when you consider Stanley was trying to emphasize that Gnorga's magic is much more powerful than his.
** "Prestidigitation" is derived from the word for "finger"...perhaps it's meant to be a too-subtle pun?
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: "Llort" is of roughly the same subtlety as [[Troll Two2|"Nilbog."]]
* [[Social Services Does Not Exist]]: The parents leave their kids with the housekeeper expecting her to babysit them. Housekeepers aren't babysitters.
* [[Screwed Byby the Network|Screwed by the Studio]]: According to the IMDB trivia. Gary Goldman stated that the movie did so poorly at the box office was the fact that it was released without any promotion, and that release was limited.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Gus. A rich kid with a nasty temper, whom the Queen describes as being troll-like. He does grow out of it though.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: The newspaper Gnorga reads is named "Wursta Times."
