Line 14:
* [[Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better]]: The whole point of Lucas and Wednesday's "Crazier than You" duet. Lucas actually proves he's crazier by blindfolding her before she shoots the apple off his head; in the original Chicago production Wednesday actually exclaims "Oh my god, you ''are'' crazier than me!"
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: The father of Wednesday's fiance is sexually assaulted by a squid; it is played for laughs.
* [[Boy Meets Ghoul]]: The plot, in a nutshell, has Wednesday falling in love with Lucas, and trying to be "normal" so she can be like him. {{spoiler|She fails to do so, but Lucas is willing to become like ''her''.}}
* [[Cameo]]: Thing appears briefly at the start of Act 1, Cousin Itt doing the same at the start of Act 2.
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: Used in the musical to signify that Wednesday's grown up.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Gomez is this when portrayed by Lane, who, as the Associate Press claims, gives the character a "deliciously phony Spanish accent"
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: The Ancestors, who act as the chorus. In the plot, the Family is having a party where they are invited, and after the schism, they are either unable or unwilling to leave until true love prevails, making them ghosts of a [[Mysterious Backer]] type.
* [[The Musical]]: Starring [[The Producers|Max Bialystock]] and [[Cheers|Lilith]] as Gomez and Morticia.
* [[Rape Is Love]]: The father of Wednesday's fiance is sexually assaulted by a squid. Although he was terrified at first and was assaulted against his will, he enjoyed it so much he decided to dedicate his life to building aquariums instead of tearing down old buildings.
* [[Truth-Telling Session]]: "Full Disclosure", sort of like "truth or dare". Being the Act I finale, of course it goes horribly wrong.
* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]: In the tour version, Wednesday explicitly states that her plan to get her and Lucas' families' blessing is that there is no plan.
* [[William Telling]]: Wednesday does this to Lucas during the "Crazier than You" duet, as a test of his love for her. He ups the ante by removing his improvised tie-blindfold and blindfolding ''her'' instead.
