Line 32:
* [[Aside Glance]]: Gromit. All the time.
* [[Background Halo]]: Lady Tottington gets one, along with a set of background ''wings'', when she advocates trapping the were-rabbit humanely. Lord Victor Quartermaine, who wants to just shoot it, gets a pair of background horns.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: As evidenced by ''A Grand Day Out''. Granted, [[Toon Physics|they are stop-motion characters in an animated film]] on a moon made of cheese, so…
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: Gromit, who takes it in his stride.

*** Though to balance it out Wallace himself often gets it pretty bad too.
* [[Cartoon Bomb]]: In ''Loaf and Death''. Not only is it your classic cannonball-with-a-fuse, but it has "BOMB" written on it in large white letters. Cue Wallace: "Oh, Gromit! [[Captain Obvious|It's a bomb!]]"

Wallace names several terrestrial cheeses in an unsuccessful attempt to determine what moon cheese tastes like, and finally concludes, "It's like no cheese I've ever tasted."

** Also, once things inevitably fall apart, Wallace's "GROMIT! HELP! DO SOMETHING!," or the less emphatic "Gromit! Do something, lad!" There's no ceiling on how many times Wallace will say this in a single episode.

** The [[wikipedia:Stinking Bishop cheese|Stinking Bishop cheese]] is featured in a plot-critical moment in ''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit''. Sales of this niche culinary product rose by 500% after the film was released.
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]: The series premiered it's first entry in 1989 during the initial boom of animation.
* [[Retro Rocket]]: The rocket they build in A Grand Day Out.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: No wonders why Lady Tottington doesn't want to harm the [http://www.igglevideo.com/images/gallery/71552/01.jpg rabbits]{{Dead link}}...
