Line 3:
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjzpjZrijYA "Better than a Dream"]
* [[Badass Decay]]: Within the duration between the first and second season premieres, Rufus devolved from a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] [[Badass Adorable]] with a sword to a [[The Everyman|generic]] [[The Meddling Kids Are Useless|Useless Meddling Kid]]. Amberley ended up [[Distaff Counterpart|pretty much the same]]. In addition they became [[Tastes Like Diabetes|cheery and innocent enough to make your teeth rot]].
* [[Cry for
* [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome]]: Rufus and Amberley, who were arguably [[Master of None|the least effective]] of the hero ensemble, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|often causing more problems than they solved]] and being reliant on the other heroes ([[The Fool|or pure luck]]) to save the day. Not to mention a lot of episodes give more [[Sympathetic POV]] on the Urpneys, with the actual hero alliance [[Good Is Boring|somewhat one dimentional]] in comparison and [[The Villain Makes the Plot|less capable of setting up plot devices on their own]]. The fact it was [[Minion
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Urpgor, with the rest of the Urpney cast not far off.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Urpgor is a psychotic weasel who constantly relishes in any torture Blob and his minions recieve. However his right hand role with Zordrak only leads to him suffering even more abuse and pressure from their boss, and, despite his beliefs, is considered no less despensible than the other Urpneys because of it. Naturally whenever he tries getting the stone instead of Blob, things usually [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|go just as well]] too.
Line 13:
** And let's not forget the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|temporarily good-willed Zordrak in "Spildit"]].
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: The show is fairly cutesy and childish in tone (cartoon hosting site Jaroo even lists it as a Pre School show) however it has gained more than a few older fans, largely for it's witty Urpney humor.
* [[Rooting for
* [[Suetopia]] / [[Sugar Bowl]] / [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: The Land Of Dreams really leans into this trope. Not only is the place candy colored and endlessly cheery and cute, most of the protagonists are pretty low on jerkish or cynical traits and generally fall a lot less to slapstick than the bad guys. [[Good Is Boring|A possible reason]] for the [[Misaimed Fandom]] above.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: While the dream making concept is rather unique, it is actually rarely explored or developed in favor of the Urpneys' [[Road Runner vs. Coyote]] antics. The actual process for making dreams is depicted in a rather sparse and mundane manner due to the heroes being kept somewhat [[Out of Focus|underfocused]] and [[Flat Character|flat]], while the dreams themselves are shown once in a blue moon. If it weren't for its name, The Dreamstone could often be seen as any other generic [[MacGuffin]] stealing show (not to say it's a bad one however).
* [[The Woobie]]: Frizz and Nug are [[Bumbling Sidekick|hapless]] [[Lovable Coward|cowardly]] minions with [[Minion
** Though more often in something of [[Hero Antagonist]] roles, a few of the hero characters got at least [[A Day in
* [[Villain Decay]]: In early episodes, Zordrak was rather calculating and implied to actually concoct many of the plans to steal the stone. In later episodes, he is largely an [[Orcus
