* LampshadeWearing: Subverted. In the episode where Lionel infects the library's computer system with a virus he uses antivirus software to destroy it. When the software restores the library's computer system one of the things it restores is New Year's Eve pictures of Theo wearing a lampshade somewhere. We don't know where because he cuts himself off mid-sentence in surprise.

** BorrowedCatchphrase: When Chicken Jane is thrown out of her own book and into others, she provides similar assistance to Paul Revere and to Prince Charming (only with less injury in both cases), and both say the same thing verbatim. Later, when she lands in a cookbook and is almost cooked, the cook show host congratulates her for being an ingredient in much the same manner.

* HumiliationConga: The attempts made by Lionel's family to help him get over the fact he has antlers. Sure, they all mean well, but it's no less embarrassing... especially the "coat rack" bit.

I put "Narm" in the YMMV tab.


* {{Narm}}: ''In-universe'' -- The story "The Old Man" [[NightmareRetardant turns out to be this]], when [[NightmareFuel it's meant to be scary]]. So the author tries to make it scarier, but each attempt seems funnier than the last.

His life is FailureIsTheOnlyOption in terms of actually getting off the cliff. (He does get off the cliff once, but he ends up following a sign that leads him right back onto it - in his defense, though, [[TooDumbToLive the sign CLEARLY said "Cliff"]]!)

Multiple tropes should not be placed on the same bullet.


* FurryReminder / StockAnimalDiet: Theo and Cleo sure love raw meat, as seen at the end of each "What's Cooking?" segment. Even if the meat dish they are preparing takes a very short time to cook (even ''three seconds'' in one segment), they'll [[EveryEpisodeEnding always say "Naaaah!" and start devouring the raw meat like real feral lions do]].
