Line 31:
* [[Androcles' Lion]]: This was the plot to "Scratch a Tiger", where the Tiger agrees to protect Ant and his gang from the hungry Aardvark after he pulled a thorn off his foot. In the end, the Tiger steps on another thorn and this time the Aardvark pulls it off. You can guess what happens next.
* [[Annoying Patient]]: The episode "From Bed To Worse" was actually based around this trope.
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Aardvarks ''can'' eat ants, but they actually normally eat termites. The aardvark in this cartoon has its mouth at the tip of its snout like an anteater, but has ears like an aardvark. To stretch things further, this aardvark ''hates'' termites, and won't eat anything ''but'' ants.
* [[Beach Episode]]: "Dune Bug"
* [[Butt Monkey]]: The Aardvark
Line 42:
* [[Gender Flip]]: Aardvark was changed to a female character named Elise in the German version.
* [[Green Around the Gills]]: Aardvark's face turns green briefly in "The Ant From Uncle", when Charlie lights a cigar in his stomach and smoke comes out of his ears.
* [[Growling Gut]]: Happened to Aardvark in "Odd Ant Out".
* [[Inevitable Waterfall]]: In "Hasty But Tasty", this was averted and then inverted when the aardvark, on a motorcycle, falls over a cliff into a river. He restarted the bike at the last possible moment to do a miracle 180... only to fall off the other waterfall behind him.
* [[Informed Species]]: Aardvark doesn't look very much like an actual aardvark.
Line 76 ⟶ 75:
* [[Strong Ants]]: Charlie himself. Played to ridiculous proportions in "Don't Hustle An Ant With Muscle".
* [[Talking to Himself]]: As stated above, Aardvark and Charlie are both voiced by John Byner.
* [[Termite Trouble]]: The episode "Rough Brunch" had Aardvark being accosted by a termite named Term, who just so happened to be [[YouArtistic FailLicense Biology Forever|Charlie's cousin]].
* [[Through a Face Full of Fur]]: Aardvark's body color diverted from normal in a few of the featurettes in various cases (even his clothes). The following in which these occurred include:
** In the very first short titled "The Ant And The Aardvark", Aardvark's entire body turned red after sticking his snout in Charlie's ant hill, trying to suck in the ant. The hue change happens when he inhales Tabasco sauce, flames emit from the bottom of his feet, and he launches into the air like a rocket before landing in a lake. He then drinks up some of a lake to cool down, which reverts his color to his usual blue.
