* PoliceAreUseless: Pretty much any time Marco or Star call the police, they get told there's nothing they can do, and sometimes get mocked as well. Granted, they're not equipped to deal with, or sometimes even understand, the kind of trouble that Star gets into.
* PowerIncontinence: Star's wand is most dangerous when she tries to use it for non-combat related purposes.

into. This is at its worst in "Starstruck", where the police officers not only make no attempt to stop Mina and Star's rampage (instead going after ''Marco'', who wasn't even doing anything), but do nothing about Star's display of magic that destroyed a public park right in front of them other than just calmly accepting the fact that magic exists.
* PowerIncontinence: Star's wand is most dangerous when she tries to use it for non-combat related purposes. Several episodes in the first season have conflicts centered around this.



* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: It's pretty rare for anyone in the series to react to the display of magic, particularly not Star's extremely liberal usage of it. Only the school principal in the first episode displays any skepticism, and it gets dropped as soon as Star's father gives him a box of gold. Marco's parents have no reaction to the strange girl who summons puppies that shoot lasers from their eyes and adds an entire wing/tower onto their house. A guy who trails fire, has three eyes and arrives in front of the school in a carriage drawn by a skeleton horse draws no further comment from anyone other than a few girls remarking on [[{{Pun}} how hot]] he is. And Oskar complaining that the demon [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking parked his carriage in the handicapped space]].

In fact, the only people who seem to care that magic exists are two police officers in one episode, and even then, they don't do anything about it.

* PrincessesPreferPink: When Star disguises Marco as a princess he ends up getting the classic Princess Pink. He isn't amused when Star says pink is his color. He later seems to have changed his mind when he asks to keep the dress, albeit immediately after he [[spoiler:received forced princess brainwashing]].

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Monsters are initially drawn rather ugly and weird in the first season, but as the series continues they become more conventionally "cute" and closer to {{Funny Animal}}s (which makes for a sharp contrast when Ludo's monsters [[TheBusCameBack return in a Season 4 episode]], by which point their diverse designs clash with the ''Franchise/AnimalCrossing''-esque background monsters). Miss Skullnick is perhaps the most prominent individual example, losing her warts, body hair, and fat rolls almost entirely between seasons.

*** This all comes to a head in "Face the Music", where Star, not wishing to be seen as a generic perfect princess, demands that her Princess Song shows who she really is as a person rather than a flawless fake persona that her mother and Mewni's citizens want to see. However, since Star never actually specified ''what'' she wanted in the song along with her less-than polite behavior towards the songwriter, her song ends up revealing several things that severely damage the reputation of the Butterfly family and royally piss off the MHC since they were never informed of such. Queen Moon sadly spells it out to her daughter after the fact: since she's in such a high position of power with several people depending on and looking up to her, it's better to lie and present an idealized version of herself that people want to see, as trying to be honest can often do more harm than good.
