Line 14:
* [[Big Eater]]: Nancy. Stanley may be one as well; we never see him eating as much as we see Nancy eating, but he does talk about food and being hungry quite a bit. In episode 3, Henry even says "This is no time to be thinking about food" when Stanley complains he just bit his tongue; the tone suggests Stanley has frequent cases of the munchies.
* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Anne and Tom work within the same group and have paired off together several times.
* [[Busmans Holiday|Busman's Holiday]]: A lot of the episodes, but most notably episode 3.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: "Hey! Sing Ha is an elephant!" "''Brilliant''."
* [[Cat Scare]]: Happens to Henry and Stanley in episode 5.
Line 41:
* [[Fashion Dissonance]]: [http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/fashiondissonance.JPG Alan's outfit.]
* [[Female Gaze]]: [http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/gditstanley2.PNG Um, Henry?]
* [[Five -Man Band]]: Literally.
** [[The Hero]]: Henry
** [[The Lancer]] ''and'' [[The Big Guy]]: Stanley
Line 48:
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Anne, who plays with the band once in a while.
* [[Flat Character]] / [[Character Development]]: Skirts the line. Though the kids each had one major personality trait and the show didn't delve into them as a modern series would have, they were far from hopeless stereotypes and portrayed as realistic and likeable characters.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Two examples
** The four youngest:
*** Choleric: Flip
Line 66:
* [[Green Around the Gills]]: Henry in "The Mardi Gras Caper" due to some crazy driving.
* [[Heart Symbol]]: In "The Great Illusion Caper" Chu-Chu gives off hearts from his eyes when he sees Fifi on stage.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice|Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Stanley's American voice actor, Lennie Weinrib, also did the voice for the infamous [[Scooby Doo|Scrappy]], [[Voltron|Hunk Garret and Prince Lotor]] and Timer in the "Time for Timer" ad series.
** Henry's voice actor, Robert Ito, would become best known for his role as Jack Klugman's assistant on ''Quincy, M.E.''
** [[Battle of the Planets|Mr. Chan would later become the leader of the Red Rangers.]]
Line 87:
* [[Missing Mom]]: Though no mention is ever made of the trope in-series.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Flip. Anne and Mr. Chan sport some rather cool hats, too.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking It, Heroes!]]: In episode 2, the kids successfully rescue Boo Blew from kidnappers...only to discover they've nabbed a lookalike who didn't ''want'' to be rescued ''and'' blown his cover as a double for Mr. Blew.
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: The ''dog'' was the only character to ever have a romantic subplot.
* [[No, You]]: In the comic book adaptation of episode 1:
{{quote| '''Suzie''': I thought you said you felt like a pizza!<br />
'''Stanley''': Yeah? Well you ''look'' like a pizza! }}
* [[Not Now, Kiddo]]: Chu-Chu is often mistaken for trying to mess around anytime he tries to "tell" the younger kids something important.
* [[Off -Model]]: Happens quite a bit, but more often in the earlier eps. [http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/oldband.PNG And this scene's animation looks downright primitive].
** That's because after the first few episodes, Hanna-Barbera had the rest of the show farmed out to Eric Porter Studios in Australia. That studio was not known for quality animation even by TV standards, and their work the next year on ''Super Friends'' furthered that.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Suzie in "The White Elephant Caper."
Line 109:
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: ''Shockingly'' averted, considering there were 10 of them; the closest it ever came to this was Mimi being bossy and Scooter being annoyed by it.
* [[Sibling Team]]: Obviously
* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: Tom and Anne
** [[Straight Man and Wise Guy]]: Henry and Stanley
** [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Anne and Suzie, respectively. Amazingly lacks [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]] that comes with the territory.
** [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Henry and Stanley, Suzie and Anne
* [[Sleep Cute]]: Mimi and Scooter in episode 4, as a platonic example.
* [[Sneeze of Doom]]: Anne in "The Greek Caper".
* [[Snooping Little Kid]]: Flip, Nancy, Mimi and Scooter.
* [[So Unfunny ItsIt's Funny]]: Stanley's jokes
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The "official" spelling of Suzie's name in the comics is "Susie", but other sources spell "Suzie".
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Most of the love songs, albeit in a cute harmless way. Given that none of the main characters aside from Chu-Chu are ever involved in romances, it seems more like they're just trying to fit in with the show's detective motif than anything.
* [[Stay in The Kitchen]]: Played for laughs with Anne. Her brothers bust her chops with their "just a girl" comments, but in the end it's clear they view her as their equal.
Line 125:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: This is how some of the cases get started; usually Flip's the one to make a comment about how easy it'd be to steal something, but in "The Eye of the Idol", Henry's the one to ask whether Pop is sure the idol and its valuable jade eye are safe shortly before the eye is stolen.
* [[The Theorem of Narrow Interests]]: If it weren't for this show having its own ff.net section you wouldn't know there ''was'' any semblance of a fandom for it.
* [[Token Mini -Moe]]: Mimi, and to a smaller degree Nancy. Scooter is a Token Shota.
* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: Flip and Nancy do this in episode 3.
* [[Uncyclopedia]]: [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Amazing_Chan_and_the_Chan_Clan No, really]. It's a crossover substituting the more popular [[Jackie Chan]] for Charlie, but still, the fact that this little show was known enough to earn a place here is pretty surprising.
