* DistractedByTheSexy: A G-rated version. Tobey is so entranced by the sight of [=WordGirl=] destroying his robots that it takes him a few moments to remember that he doesn't ''want'' her to destroy his robots.

* AnswerCut: After Becky asks who reads the Daily Rag outside of elementary school, the scene cuts to a security bank guard reading the article about the bank giving away free toasters.
* BaitAndSwitch: After The Butcher is stopped, Scoops starts heavily complimenting the person who foiled him, to [=WordGirl=]'s lovestruck delight. Then it turns out he was talking about himself, not [=WordGirl=].
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: Subverted. When Scoops asks if Becky hated his article, she replies that "hate" is such a strong word. Accurate, but strong.
* BrutalHonesty: Becky pretty much admits right away that yes, she did hate the article Scoops wrote.
* HypocriticalHumor: The rich old lady yells about how The Butcher has his "grubby paws" all over her diamond while her own hands are covered in sauce from the barbecue.
* IWasJustJoking: When Scoops jokes about how impressive his reporter's instincts are since both places he wrote about got robbed later, [=WordGirl=] realises that this is because The Butcher is using the Daily Rag to plan his crimes.
* IsItSomethingYouEat: When [=WordGirl=] calls The Butcher's barbecue a diversion he gets confused, saying he only served ribs and chicken.
* LookBehindYou: [=WordGirl=] does this to the bank guard and bank teller to demonstrate what a diversion is. It takes them a few seconds to catch on.
* LostMyAppetite: This happens to the patron at the vegetarian restaurant when The Butcher says tofu looks like his stomach and lifts his shirt to demonstrate.
* RealityEnsues: After Captain [=HuggyFace=] defeats The Butcher by pelting him with tofu, the two restaurant patrons he took the tofu from approach him, demanding he pay for it.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When Scoops jokingly asks Becky if she has super hearing, she nervously denies it, saying she'd have to be [=WordGirl=] to have super hearing, which she certainly is not.
* TemptingFate: When Becky brings up how the bank was robbed while everyone was distracted by a barbecue the previous day, Reginald, who is currently eating such a barbecue, says that he's far too smart to fall for that. Cue the alarm in his jewelry store going off.

'''Tobey or Consequences''': Tobey challenges [=WordGirl=] to a high-stakes gameshow he invented, "Crash or Pie". This part's associated vocabulary words are "enormous" and "bicker".
----
!!"Tobey or Consequences" contains the following tropes:
* ArgumentOfContradictions: [=WordGirl=] and Tobey do this when they start arguing over if "unsmall" is a word.
* ContinuityNod: "Crash or Pie" is based on "Cash or Pie", the game show [=WordGirl=] and Tobey watch in the shorts that introduce him.
* ContrivedClumsiness: During the gameshow, Tobey makes his robots cause destruction for [=WordGirl=] to stop so she can't buzz in, claiming his finger slipped.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Tobey failed to consider that his gameshow opponent has SuperSpeed, meaning that she can press the buzzer much faster than he can.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: As Tobey puts it: [[StalkerWithACrush "I'm going to prove that I'm smarter than you, and then you'll be mine, all mine!"]]
* HologramProjectionImperfection: Tobey makes a holographic projection of himself to trick the babysitter, but it always seems to fizz out a little bit when she isn't looking.
* IHaveThisFriend: Part of Tobey's terms for [=WordGirl=] is that if she loses (or wins) their game, she has to give him a photo signed, "Tobey, all my love, [=WordGirl=]." For a friend of his. Who's also named Tobey.
* IronicEcho: When [=WordGirl=] calls Tobey's robots enormous, he admonishes her for using such an "ordinary" word and suggests a few synonyms. Soon afterwards, as he's telling her to stop wrecking his robots, she tells him that "stop" is such an "easy" word and suggests "cease" instead.
* MotorMouth: Tobey's babysitter, which keeps her from noticing that she's talking to a hologram.
* ObliviousToLove: Tobey's massive crush on [=WordGirl=] flies ''way'' over her head.
* SoreLoser: Tobey admits to being this after losing "Crash or Pie", and tries to activate all his robots to wreak havoc anyway.
* SpeedRound: "Crash or Pie" ends in a lightning round.
* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Non-audio example: The hologram Tobey set up to distract the babysitter nods after she asks it questions.
* WingdingEyes: Tobey gets heart eyes as he watches [=WordGirl=] destroy his robots.
