Line 16:
* [[Expy]]: Since the live action version couldn't get all the rights to characters from the animated version, Die Fledermaus became Bat-Manuel and American Maid became Captain Liberty.
* [[Everything's Better with Cows]]: The [[Take Our Word for It|off-screen]] fifty-foot fire-lactating bovine known as Apocalypse Cow.
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: The Terror, a crazy old has-been supervillain who used to be buddies with Stalin. Back in the day he used to be a credible threat; these days, not so much, but he still gives Arthur and The Tick a good go of it.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: The Tick may be very, very ditzy in just about everything, but he has shown a certain level of philosophical thought in some cases. Especially so in the second episode, where he learns that everyone (even potatoes) can die, and after thinking about it for about a minute, gives Arthur a motivating speech that ''actually makes sense''.
* [[It's All About Me]]: Sure Destroyo tried to nuke The City, but Batmanuel had the right of way, and he should not get higher car insurance because of it.
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Really, just look at the Tick's profile (preferably against the Tick-signal).
* [[Live Action Adaptation]]
* [[Meganekko]]: Arthur's sister Dot
* [[No Export for You]]: Finally averted when the live-action version got its UK premiere, in January of 2011. [[Friday Night Death Slot|At 9PM on a Friday night]].
* [[No Name Given]]: The Tick
