** In ''Louder and Prouder'' episode "Father Figures," Suga Mama even had to force Oscar to apologize.

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: In the original series and the movie all her outfits while performing with LPDZ showed her stomach. She also starts wearing midriffs regularly after returning home with the clones of her family, whereas her real parents (particularly Oscar) didn't like her wearing them, but changes back into her iconic outfit when she goes to save her real family.
** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in ''Louder and Prouder'', where her new top shows a bit of her waist.

* Expy:

* Expy:

* ToughLove: In "Grandma's Hands," she locks Penny out of the house because she kept sneaking out at night, but at the end of the episode, she says she did this because she loves her.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: When it was discussed why he's so overprotective in ''Louder and Prouder'', he admits some of overboard behaviors are him wanting something out of the situation, and nothing to do with Penny.

* WackyParentSeriousChild: Penny is mature for her age and is more levelheaded than most middle schoolers, whereas her father is playful, immature, and childish.

* HatesTheirParent: [[DownplayedTrope Not outright hatred]], but he and his mother get on each other's nerves ''a lot'', to the point that their bickering is one of the show's most frequent sources of comedy. But when it's all said and done, they have each other'sbacks.

* ButtMonkey: It is likely Penny inherits her dad's slapstick, As she gets her fair share of bad luck, whether it be from her friends constantly ditching her, or from her own parents.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In "The Altos", his advice to Sticky is not to let hard times make him a hard person when the latter is going through his parents' divorce. But it seems Oscar himself doesn't follow this, given how often he antagonizes his abusive mother.

* HatedByAll: [[DownplayedTrope Well, hated by]] ''[[DownplayedTrope most]]''. It seems as though a majority of the characters in the show - people and [[AnimalsHateHim animals alike]] - enjoy being a {{jerkass}} to Oscar for reasons ranging from [[LaserGuidedKarma his own jerkish behavior]] to more ambiguous or unjust reasons (though being the owner of an infamous snack company may have something to do with it). While his family and neighbors don't hate him, they too can find him insufferable at times.

* MadeOutToBeAJerkass: Very often when Oscar retaliates against Suga Mama, onlookers (even other members of the family) will call him out for it. In "Penny Potter", he finally tells her off, only for Trudy to make him apologize to her in the next scene. And Dr. Payne has told him more than once, "Don't disrespect your mama!". Sadly, this is TruthInTelevision for some dysfunctional family dynamics.

* CosmicPlaything: Often, it seems that the universe is out to make Oscar suffer in absurdly humiliating ways. For instance, it wasn't enough for his infamous basketball moment to be a standard missed shot. ''It had to roll around the basket's rim before somehow flying across the entire court and into the opposing team's basket to give them the win.''

* HatedByAll: Well, hated by most. It seems as though a majority of the characters in the show - people and [[AnimalsHateHim animals alike]] - enjoy being a {{jerkass}} to Oscar for reasons ranging from [[LaserGuidedKarma his own jerkish behavior]] to more ambiguous or unjust reasons (though being the owner of an infamous snack company may have something to do with it). While his family and neighbors don't hate him, they too can find him insufferable at times.

* StrawLoser: Meager job, unsuccessful, unathletic, wimpy, and all-around untalented. He all but exists to make Penny, Trudy, Suga Mama, and the twins look better by comparison.
