* BosomBuddies: "The Delayed Arrival"

** In one instance (where Bertie's friend is talking about how he wears Pajamas all day until mid evening when he throws on a jumper) Bertie actualy calls out "Don't listen Jeeves!" aware of the profound impact this will have on his manservant.

** Considering that he is a talented pianist and presumably has a more than passing understanding of music, Bertie is surprisingly inept with the trombone.

* UpperClassTwit: Bertie and most of his friends; he often comes across as more intelligent than most of them, in a faithful reflection of the original Wodehouse stories.

* BlatantLies: Very much Jeeves' modus operandi, although other characters occasionally engage in it as well in an emergency, such as when Bertie locks lord Chiswick in a room to prevent Ms. Rockmetteller from meeting him:

'''lord Chiswick:''' ''(through door)'' This door is locked!\\

* DeadpanSnarker: Jeeves, Jeeves, Jeeves. A departure from the novels, in which he doesn't.

* UpperClassTwit: Bertie and most of his friends; oddly, he often comes across as more intelligent than most of them; this is a faithful reflection of the original Wodehouse stories.

* TheWoobie We dare you to not want to give Bertie a hug after all the crap he goes through in some episodes. True for the books as well.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: A definite aversion as the series manages to have scenes in blackface still be humorous, shows the segregation of America during the time period, and perhaps most notably, is accurate to the books in showing Roderick Spode and his Black Shorts dressed in what are Nazi uniforms albeit [[NoSwastikas without swastikas]].
** To be fair however the people they are really paroding are the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Union_of_Fascists British Union of Fascists]] whose insignia is a lot closer to the one in the TV show.
** Somewhat Subverted in that the original story has Bertie blacking up to blend in with a group of black minstrels, making the Blackface scene a more PC alternative.
** Also, in the original book the characters (though not Jeeves) [[ValuesDissonance use the N-word!]]

** More like Mussolini. He even has a picture of Mussolini and he is more a buffoon than a homicidal maniac.

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: Roderick Spode will break your rotten spine in [[strike: three]] [[strike: four]] [[strike: five]] '''SIX''' places!

* DeadpanSnarker: Jeeves, Jeeves, Jeeves.

* AdaptationDecay/AdaptationDistillation: While the first two seasons stay very close to the tone of the original stories, the latter seasons got a bit broader and sillier, with more slapstick and the endings of some of the stories changed for no apparent reason.

** Bertie describes himself as a 'Nature's bachelor', and seems to get very upset when he has a tiff with Jeeves. He also compares Jeeves to the wives and sweethearts of his friends. Jeeves, on the other hand, goes to great lengths to ''keep his master unmarried''.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Gussie's drunken speech at Market Snodsbury. Heavily shortened and toned down from the book, but it's ''still'' hilarious.
