** Eureeka tells the moat twins not to touch her wand while she's away making them some peanut butter sandwiches. Of course, they do, and end up making several items in Eureeka's chambers disappear - including, apparently, Bogge himself. [[spoiler:Bogge was only playing a joke, though.]]


Added DiffLines:

* InducedHypochondria: In a way. Bogge and Quagmire in one episode convince Magellan that dragons are related to tadpoles and, like tadpoles, lose their tails as they grow older. When Eureeka tells him it was a put-on, Magellan uses his tail to give the moat twins some LaserGuidedKarma.


Added DiffLines:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Quagmire goes into hysterics when she thinks she made Bogge disappear while fooling around with Eureeka's magic wand. Turns out [[spoiler:Bogge didn't disappear at all and was playing a joke on his sister.]]

* ConstantlyCurious: Bogge and Quagmire, suffering from insomnia, ask Eureeka to tell them a bedtime story, but then pepper her with questions, constantly asking "Why?" to ''every detail'' of the story. Finally Eureeka, realizing the twins are just trying to stall for time, reaches her RageBreakingPoint.
-->'''Eureeka:''' Now, Andrew the squirrel lived in a big oak tree...\\
'''Bogge:''' Why?\\
'''Eureeka:''' Because squirrels live in trees.\\
'''Bogge:''' Got it.\\
'''Eureeka:''' Now, one day Andrew climbed down from the oak tree...\\
'''Bogge and Quagmire:''' Why?\\
'''Eureeka:''' Because he wanted to go down to the ground and look for acorns to put away for the winter.\\
'''Bogge and Quagmire:''' Why?\\
'''Eureeka:''' ''[increasingly annoyed]'' Because that's what squirrels eat! They eat acorns!\\
'''Bogge and Quagmire:''' Why?\\
'''Eureeka:''' Because they don't eat scrambled eggs! WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP ASKING ME "WHY"?!!!\\
'''Bogge and Quagmire:''' Why?\\
'''Eureeka:''' UGHHHHHHH!!!

* SickEpisode: Magellan gets a cold in one sketch, while in another Bogge gets the flu and Batly [[PlayingSick plays sick]] to get the same amount of attention. The following three sketches also relate to health; one is a "Them Bones" music video, one involves a bird getting laryngitis, and one is about one clay guy PlayingSick to get out of building the boat.

Not an example. Refrain From Assuming is a music trope about songs not named after repeated chorus lyrics, often not after lyrics at all. Will go to Trope Finder with this to see if something else fits this description


* RefrainFromAssuming: It's not a [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppet]] production, despite its similarity to ''Series/SesameStreet'', not to mention Pam "Grungetta" Arciero performing Quagmire and Brian "Barkley" Muehl doing Bogge and Mr. Knack. Also, one of the scriptwriters for the series was Louise Gikow, who penned a number of ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'' and ''Series/FraggleRock'' children's books and had been a writer for ''Muppet Magazine'' as well; she also co-created ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites'' with current-generation Muppet performer John Tartaglia.

Finally Mr, Knack comes up and asks what’s so funny. Everyone just turns to Magellan who explains that he was laughing over how people will laugh at anything. Everyone then resumes laughing.

* IdiosyncraticWipes: A variation where it's done between segments instead of between scenes. They involve an animated version of the castle's winding key, which may or may not turn a couple or so times before going to the next segment.[[note]]There's even a version where the key doesn't stop at all, and goes right to the next segment.[[/note]] The half-hour version also features a second one that features one of the castle's towers with the winding key, similar to (but not quite the same as) the show's AdBumpers.



* IneptMage: Eureeka usually ends up failing her spells except in the bumpers. One example: she tried to make an ice cream float with magic and ended up with the ice cream floating in the air. She does admit that she's still learning, however.
