History Series / MyBabysittersAVampire

* CanadaEh: Most characters have noticeable Canadian raising, and Ontario license plates are clearly visible.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: "Most troublemakers clog toilets. You two rewire [=PAs=], break office windows, talk about space demons..."

%%** Arguably Erica (because EvilFeelsGood, [[EvilIsSexy makes you one very hot babe]], and [[EvilMakeover lets you upgrade to a better wardrobe]].

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

%% * ButNotTooBlack: ''Soundly'' averted, and in fact, is ''never, ever'' brought up.

* PantsPullingPrank: On two separate occasions during the episode "Friday Night Frights," the ghost of Coach Ed casts a spell that causes Ethan's pants to fall down, both times leaving the embarrassed Ethan standing in his boxer shorts in front of his friends (and, the first time, in front of his crush Sarah, who mocks the outer space theme of his boxers).

** ''Dusk'' is a major satire on ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. It's even a somewhat-major plot point in the TV movie pilot, which also includes an Edward Cullen {{expy}}.

* FurAgainstFang: Werewolves and Vampires are ancestral enemies and have an almost instinctual dislike of each other. Erica subverts this by trying to imitate a ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' expy.

* UncoolUndies: In "Friday Night Frights", when Coach Ed uses a spell to pants Ethan, Sarah laughs at Ethan for wearing space-themed boxers, mockingly telling him that she would've guessed that he wore Spider Man underwear.
* VampireBitesSuck: The one time we see someone bitten onscreen, [[spoiler: Ethan]] ends up writhing on the floor in agony until the venom is sucked out.

** "The Date to End All Dates Part 2". [[spoiler: Ethan, Benny, and Sarah team up with Jesse to stop Vice Principal Stern, the Vampire Council evacuates the city, Ethan and Sarah may or may not have gotten a RelationshipUpgrade, and the Lucifractor explodes, possibly taking the whole city with it, leaving the fates of our heroes ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Jesse]]) up in the air.]]

* UncoolUndies: In "Friday Night Frights", when Coach Ed uses a spell to pants Ethan, Krysta laughs at Ethan for wearing space-themed boxers, mockingly telling him that she would've guessed that he wore Spider Man underwear.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** Arguably, to ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', albeit DarkerAndEdgier than its TV-G predecessor.
** Could also be considered a [[SpinOffBabies kids version]] of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', between [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the obvious connection]] and the MonsterOfTheWeek format.

The series follows the adventures of a geeky fourteen-year old boy named Ethan Morgan (Matthew Knight), his best friend Benny (Atticus Dean Mitchell), and his vampire Babysitter/Best Friend/Love Interest Sarah Fox (Creator/VanessaMorgan).

* FreudianExcuse: Before being turned, Erica was a {{Nerd}} who took a lot of crap. Afterwards she decided that this justifies her being a bitch.

* HellBentForLeather: The only way we could tell Evil!Benny from Benny prime was the evil clone's leather jacket. Mostly, it's an aversion though -- Sarah and Erica have leather jackets but don't wear them often and they wouldn't fit the boys' {{Nerd}} image, making this one of the few supernatural-themed teen shows that doesn't drape the whole main cast in black leather.

* TheJailBaitWait: Implied, and a rare male example (although since the age of consent in Canada is sixteen, it's only two years). Come season three, [[GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex when Ethan turns sixteen]]...

* TranslateTheLoanWordsToo: Sort of. When Benny gets transformed into his costume, El Merlo Loco, in the halloween episode, the subtitles refer to him as "The Crazy Merlo," which is what "El Merlo Loco" means, even though even in English he's referred to as "El Merlo Loco".

%%* TheDollEpisode: "Guys and Dolls"

* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Erica thinks like a {{Vampire Werewolf| Love Triangle}} ParanormalRomance novel in "Blue Moon". She becomes attracted to David after finding out he's a werewolf and assumes that their relationship will play out like it did in ''Dusk'', with David's pack trying to keep them apart. Not only does David not have a pack, but it's shown that his condition means he will turn into a dog, instead of a BeastMan like Erica was expecting.
