!!''Trap for Fools'' contains examples of:
* AdultsAreUseless: None of the teachers are willing to listen to Turlough about the attacks on his classmates, and are generally unhelpful even at educating them.
* AnachronismStew: St. Neot's, a traditional English public school in the 30th century.
* BoardingSchool: [[RecycledInSpace In space!]]
* ButtMonkey: Out of all the places and times in the entire universe, Turlough ends up stuck back in a public school, his worst nightmare.
* CallBack: Naturally, there are quite a few to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E3MawdrynUndead Brendon School]] and Turlough's time there.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Doctor is startled from his digging out weeds on the cricket pitch by Turlough, demanding to know what the hell is going on at the school. Five starts explaining that weeds can interfere with the game and misdirect the ball, much to Turlough's irritation.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Not unusual for the Short Trips series, but The Doctor is barely more than a guest star here.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The Entitlement are transdimensional beings who exist only to claim things as their own.
* EldritchAbomination: The Entitlement, sentient dimensions where nothing exists, hence their need to consume.
* ItsUpToYou: When The Doctor is swept away by the Entitlement, Turlough is the only one with any chance of taking it on.
* MaliciousMisnaming: One of Turlough's teachers insists on calling him "Turlog", and it catches on with everyone else.
* MoodWhiplash: The Doctor's letter to Turlough, describing the dark forces threatening to attack the galaxy, complete with sinister music swelling, is undercut by his P.S. asking Turlough to tend to the divets on the hockey pitch.
* TheNicknamer: Turlough secretly assigns his classmates rather unflattering names. Lanky Hamster, Shiny Forehead, Fat Smirker, No Threat...
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: The Doctor is ''thriving'' as a boarding school groundskeeper, sorting out the hockey pitch and taking exceptional care of the cricket gear. Turlough is less enthralled by the whole affair.
* SadistTeacher: Mr Stabbing.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Turlough wonders whether being stranded at St. Neot's might be one of these set up by The Doctor, possibly as some sort of punishment.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: The Doctor insists that Turlough's expertise with the inner workings of public schools as well as alien threats make him uniquely qualified to cope with the Entitlement. Turlough is not so sure.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: Turlough reflects that his exile has affected his interpersonal skills, even his emotional associations. After his narration awkwardly describes clutching a pillow to himself, he realizes he no longer even automatically categorizes that as a "hug".
* WeirdnessCensor: Nobody bats an eye at a police box suddenly appearing as the new groundsman's hut.
