Not to be confused with [[Titans (2018 TV series)|the 2018 live-action TV series]], nor with its own alternate continuity/sequel ''Teen Titans Go!'' (although they had a [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] TV movie with the latter).

{{tropelist}}
== A-E ==
* [[20% More Awesome]]: Subverted in the episode "Only Human." Since Cyborg is, well, a cyborg, the machine part of him can measure how much effort he's actually putting in.
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Present in "The Beast Within."
Line 264 ⟶ 265:
'''Raven:''' He didn't hurt me, he saved me.
'''Starfire:''' From what? ''(cue scene transition)'' }}
 
== F-J ==
* [[The Faceless]]: Slade. {{spoiler|Even when his mask gets knocked off in "The End" and his undead face is just a ''skull''}}. Though at that point in the show, {{spoiler|he had been reanimated by Trigon, but not resurrected}}. Apparently, {{spoiler|this means he can't regrow his skin}}.
** The episode ''Forces OF Nature'' has Slade disguised as an old man, though this functions as a bit of a [[Mythology Gag]], as his disguise is somewhat similar to his original comics appearance.
Line 359 ⟶ 362:
* [[Genre Busting]]: It's a superhero action cartoon whose animation is often more inspired by [[Tex Avery]] or [[Widget Series|the weirder side of]] [[Anime]] than anything in U.S. [[Comic Books]], yet often has very dark, dramatic storylines and, on a few occasions, will have an episode focus almost entirely on character interactions, with the obligatory supervillain battle relegated to a minor B-plot.
* [[Girls' Night Out Episode]]: "Switched". Also doubles as a [[Freaky Friday Flip]].
* [[Give the Villain a Hero's Funeral]]: In the adaptation of the Judas Contract arc from [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|the comic book]], a variant is added. Unlike in the comic where {{spoiler|the Titans were able to cover up Terra's treachery}}, they don't have that option when {{spoiler|she leads armies of Sladebots into Jump City to forcibly take over and "evacuate" the civilians. When the dust is settled, literally, Terra is turned into a statue due to pulling a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to stop a volcano she accidentally activated when fighting Slade. The civilians return, bewildered as they try to adjust to a normal life, while underground, the Titans place a memorial plaque by Terra's statue declaring her a Titan despite her betrayal, and flowers courtesy of Starfire. Raven, Robin and Cyborg say that she'll try to reverse the effects to bring Terra back, but Starfire and Beast Boy truly believe she's gone forever. The season five finale confirms Beast Boy visits her statue regularly enough to talk to her, and is shocked when it goes missing.}}
* [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: Starfire vs. Blackfire
* [[Glove Snap]]: Cyborg does this once.
Line 434 ⟶ 438:
* [[Jobber]]: Dr Light ends most of his appearances in short order as the unfortunate target of Raven's [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. After getting one episode where he actually ''was'' a threat in season 5, the [[Grand Finale]] ended with his attempted bank robbery being responded to by the entire [[Heroes Unlimited|extended Titans team]].
* [[Just a Machine]]
 
== K-O ==
* [[Keet]]: Beast Boy, of course. [http://i53.tinypic.com/oa500x.jpg To the next level.]
* [[Kid Hero]]
Line 563 ⟶ 569:
* [[Other Me Annoys Me]]: nosyarG kciD to Robin.
* [[Out of the Inferno]]: Val Yor does this.
 
== P-T ==
* [[Painted-On Pants]]: Oh, dear lord, Robin.
* [[Pardon My Klingon]]: Starfire occasionally spouts odd Tamaranian curse words and insults.
Line 738 ⟶ 746:
* [[TV Never Lies]]
* [[Two Aliases, One Character]]: {{spoiler|Robin and Red X}}. Although, another person did adopt the Red X persona in a later episode.
 
== U-Z ==
* [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]]: Trigon and Raven, as well as Kitten and Killer Moth.
* [[Unflinching Walk]]: Robin has a "cool guys don't look at explosions" moment, even though there's no explosion and he crouches instead of walks.
