* CrazyAwesome: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Casanova about his series of schemes where he pretended to be an "expert" astrologer, lawyer and musician despite having zero qualifications, which all somehow ended up ''working'' regardless.

** In perhaps a CallBack to earlier, the Priest may have fainted because Casanova had just informed him about [[NaughtyNuns the nuns]] he had slept with, first independently and then at the ''same'' time.

--> '''Old Casanova''': Everyone I knew in that city is '''dead'''.

Blue Eyes is being split into different tropes (Creepy Blue Eyes,Innocent Blue Eyes, Occult Blue Eyes and Icy Blue Eyes) as per this thread because it\'s not just about having that eye colour, it\'s about what traits blue eyes supposed to symbolise and blue eyes is constantly being misused for \"X has blue eyes\", so anything that doesn\'t fit the split off tropes or Zero Content Examples will be removed. This goes for most of the Common Eye Colours tropes as well


* BlueEyes: Casanova. Peter O'Toole is famous for having piercing blue eyes, so DavidTennant had to wear contacts, as his are brown. (The effect is slightly odd, since Tennant's look far darker than O'Toole's.)

I\'ve seen the first two episodes. He thinks of the women he beds as more than just conquests or notches on a bedpost. He\'s even listed under Ethical Slut and Chivalrous Pervert on this very page.


* TurnOutLikeHisFather: Giac, Casanova's son lampshades this. Still, even ''[[BeyondTheImpossible Casanova]]'' is disgusted by his son's uncaring and opportunistic attitude towards women and sex.
