Line 40:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: [[One-Winged Angel]]!Mojo Jojo at the climax of [[The Movie]].
* [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]: "Attack pattern Alpha Omega [[Atari]]!"
* [[Badass Family]]: In the episode "Powerprof."
* [[Badass Normal]]: Mojo Jojo brings down the Powerpuff Girls with Antidote X during their [[Slumber Party]], and the Girls' classmates subdue him with a [[Pillow Fight]].
* [[Bad Future]]: In "Speed Demon".
Line 58:
** The entirety of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EuPr6K_bW8 "Bubblevicious"] is dedicated to Bubbles going on a rampage after her button (being treated like a baby by everyone, even her own family) is pressed one time too many. She calms down at the end, [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|but then Mojo zaps her with a laser (again)...]]
** An easy way to tick off all three of the Powerpuff Girls is to endanger the life of the Professor.
** Fuzzy Lumpkins and "trespassers", a term he defines very broadly. For example: He shot at a leaf that happened to drift onto his lawn.
** Marianne Smith when anyone tries to disrupt the dinner she is hosting.
* [[Berserker Tears]]: A sign that you have pushed Bubbles too far.
Line 146:
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: In the episode "Sweet n Sour", three cute animals - a puppy, kitten, and rabbit - are brainwashing the whole city of Townsville, except for the girls, of course, with their obviously cute faces, thus also causing a backlash on the girls due to their doubts on the animals. However, when they walk into a building which they think is a bank, they find it's a school filled with children who love the animals to near-death, thus delivering the message of how too much of something isn't always good. Of course, after the children leave, it is revealed that their receiving too much love was set up by the girls.
* [[Didn't Think This Through]]:
** In the episode "Bought and Scold", Princess Morbucks takes over as Mayor of Townsville and passes a law legalizing crime, [[Evil Plan|just so she could put the girls out of business]]. However, she apparently didn't realize that with crime being legal, she herself could be robbed as well, which is obviously one of the reasons why the girls thought of the idea of robbing her blind.
** Also, in the episode "Birthday Bash", the Amoeba Boys send the girls voodoo dolls of the girls themselves without realizing that they were supposed to keep the dolls in order to make them work.
** Mojo Jojo's first attack involved turning the world and the girls into dogs. He was beaten when Buttercup ran up the platform bit him in the behind. In another episode, he does almost the same thing, then he plays a video recording of the first event to the girls and explains that he won't turn them into dogs this time, and he installed butt armor to prevent getting bitten again. Mojo got so wrapped up on how he was beaten previously he forgot to disable or weaken the girls this time and they beat him up as usual.
Line 169:
** "A Very Special Blossom" ending with Blossom sentenced to 200 hours of community service.
* [[Drunk with Power]]: That episode where The Mayor got tired of relying on The Girls and decided to bring his own brand of justice, riding a balloon and stopping bad guys with an extending boxing glove. It goes to his head...
* [[Dying Like Animals]]: Pretty much every townsperson and the highly co-dependent Mayor are Sheep. Explicitly lampshaded in one episode, when the girls get sick of being called on to fix every little problem. They go sit on a cloud and encourage the people to work out a solution to the [[Monster of the Week]], but keep having to beat them over the heads with hints, in what is probably a direct [[Shout-Out]] to the "Burn the witch" scene from ''[[Monty Python and
* [[Edutainment Show]]: Parodied in "Seed No Evil":
{{quote|'''Museum tour guide:''' I'm going to show you how prehistoric man [[Bamboo Technology|used woolly mammoths as dishwashers, and pterodactyls as record players]].<br />
Line 184:
** In "Telephonies", after the Gangreen Gang continuously [[Mugging the Monster|harass]] Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Him by [[It Makes Sense in Context|making a string of very convincing crank calls that convinced the girls that the three were terrorizing Townsville, but were instead, enjoying a day off]], Mojo Jojo, Him, and Fuzzy; furious over the crank calls; form a temporary [[Power Trio]] and proceeding to give the Gangreen Gang the worst [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] of their careers, and thus promptly saving the day, making the narrator say the following line in total bewilderment:
{{quote|'''Narrator''': So, once again, the day...is saved! Thanks to... ''(Mojo, Fuzzy, and Him appear on screen)'' ...Mojo Jojo... Fuzzy Lumpkins... and ''Him''...?}}
** In the episode where Mojo kidnaps the Narrator; he does the usual bit...then asks them for a ride home.
** "I See A Funny Cartoon In Your Future:" The day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff grill.
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Mojo Jojo's plan in the movie is to create an army of superpowered monkeys to do his bidding.
Line 219:
** The Rowdyruff Boys possess the same basic powerset, and Blossom's male counterpart there is named Brick.
* [[F Minus Minus]]: In the episode "Mo' Linguish", Mojo Jojo mentions that if he had control of the grading system, he would make the lowest grade a "Z" rather than an "F".
* [[Flanderization]]: Bubbles in particular seems to go from "cute" to "annoying" in later episodes.
** The Mayor went from eccentric and absent-minded to [[Too Dumb to Live]].
** Almost ''everyone'' suffered this (if they weren't a [[Brother Chuck]]) in the later episodes, but most notably were the Powerpuffs themselves. Blossom went from smart, cool-headed and somewhat bossy to a full-blown irritating know-it-all as the show went on. Bubbles, as mentioned above, had been transformed from a cute little girl to a shrill harpy by the middle, and Buttercup, if not being [[My Friends and Zoidberg]], pretty much was defined by her fighting lust. Also, the Narrator seemed to be paid by the hour to talk every five minutes.
Line 251:
* [[Hartman Hips]]: Miss Keane.
** Miss Keane might be a reach since she's rather pear-shaped.
* [[Hates Baths]]: Buttercup in "Down 'N' Dirty."
* [[Hero Insurance]]: Available in Townsville, but ''not'' in Citiesville.
* [[Hero Syndrome]]: Major Man.
Line 282:
'''Blossom''': Not only are we dealing with a petty criminal, we're dealing with... '''''A tarot-ist'''''.
[5 second beat] }}
* [[Innocent Swearing]]: In the episode "Curses", the girls overhear Professor Utonium using a naughty word and start using it themselves. Many [[Sound Effect Bleep|Sound Effect Bleeps]] ensue.
* [[Institutional Apparel]]: Strangely, Townsville Jail uses the striped suits version ''and'' the orange suits version.
* [[Intentional Engrish for Funny]]: Bubbles's narration of a Japanese manga in "Super Zeroes", despite being an [[Omniglot]]. "I am filled with solutions!".
Line 325:
* [[Lost in Translation]]: None of the Beat-Alls jokes work in the Swedish dub. The translator doesn't come up with any [[Woolseyism|Woolseyisms]], since that wouldn't be possible in Swedish.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: "Schoolhouse Rocked". The rules are there's no fighting in school. So Miss Keane suggests to the Powerpuff Girls they "play dodgeball" with the Gangreen Gang instead.
* [[
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Played with - Mojo Jojo is the main reason the girls actually exist, since he caused the Chemical X incident. The girls teasingly call him "Dad" while he stands in utter stock at this revelation. Mojo becomes doubly responsible when he goes back in time and [[Stable Time Loop|sparks the professor's interest in science and the desire to create the "three perfect girls".]]
* [[MacGuffin]]: The Key to the World in "The Powerpuff Girls Rule". The Professor lampshades the utter ridiculousness of the concept.
Line 411:
* [[The Psycho Rangers]]: The Rowdyruff Boys, [[Distaff Counterpart|Spear Counterparts]] later brought [[Back From the Dead]] by [[Popularity Power]].
* [[Psycho Serum]]
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: According to the episode "Super Zeroes", EVERY monster that invades Townsville is this.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: The Narrator sometimes slips into this. Especially noticeable in "Daylight Savings".
* [[Punny Name]]: Sara Bellum = Cerebellum
Line 497:
* [[Teeth Flying]]: Bad guys' teeth go flying in the opening sequence; also, one episode is pretty much based on this trope - Buttercup learns the Tooth Fairy gives you money for teeth, and starts deliberately knocking villains' teeth out and collecting them to make a huge windfall.
* [[That Cloud Looks Like...]]: Bubbles does this, including one that "looked like a cloud".
* [[The Cameo]]: Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory makes several cameos over the course of the series, including the episode "Forced Kin".
* [[There Was a Door]]: [[Lampshaded]] several times. The girls must have racked up quite a bit of roof damage by now due to their preferred method of exit.
* [[Thick Line Animation]]: It got thicker as the series went on.
Line 537:
** The Professor's description of the time he went to the DMV to get his driver's license renewed in "City of Clipsville".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joLrldtZtRA Eat your pea, Professor.]
** The entire concept of "Beat Your Greens". What better way to get children of the '90's to eat their veggies by making a race of hyperintelligent, nigh invulnerable broccoli invade earth only to be defeated by Townsville's children banding together and devouring them all into oblivion?
* [[Wanting Is Better Than Having]]: One episode had a collector of Powerpuff Girls' merchandise who freaks out and becomes a villain when his collection is complete: there's nothing left for him to collect ''except the girls themselves''.
* [[We Will Meet Again]]: Him in one episode.
