* CerealViceReward: There really is no rationale for the children in these commercials to deny the rabbit Trix. It's obvious they're just being selfish brats who get sadistic glee out of seeing him not get any, and [[KarmaHoudini they're never punished for their behavior]]. This commercial in fact provides the page image for the trope, and is one of the best-known examples.

* CatchPhrase: "Raspberry red, lemony yellow, orangey orange!" (In former days, "Raspberry red, lemon yellow, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment orange orange!]]"). The rabbit often rapturously describes the cereal using this phrase.

* HisOwnWorseEnemy: In most of the commercials, the rabbit's disguises fool the kids and they allow him to have some Trix, only for the rabbit's love of the cereal to cause him to prematurely celebrate and blow his cover, resulting in the kids taking it back before he can eat any.

* AllJustADream: One commercial in TheEighties focused on the rabbit having a dream where the kids purposefully give him the cereal. Then, one of the Fruitalicious Swirls commercials featured the rabbit making his escape with a box of the cereal in a lowering contraption only for the kids to take the cereal ''from his dream bubble.''
* AllThereInTheScript: Two of the kids (Gabby and Brad) featured in the [[TheNewTens mid-2010's]] iteration of the ads only had their names mentioned in the closed captioning.

* LeavingFoodForSanta: One Trix cereal commercial in TheNineties features kids leaving a bowl of Trix for Santa. After they go to bed, the Trix Rabbit, disguised as Santa, comes in and is about to eat the cereal himself. But then the real Santa shows up and the rabbit gives him the bowl without hesitation.

* KarmaHoudini: The children who repeatedly refuse to let the rabbit have any Trix never suffer any consequences for their actions. Seriously, it's understandable if the viewer might wish their parents were there to punish the selfish kids.

* ObsessiveSpokesperson: The rabbit has resorted to many life-risking {{Zany Scheme}}s just to eat a bite of Trix Cereal. Ironically, he often ruins the chance to eat some because he goes crazy thinking about how good the cereal tastes and blows his cover.
