!!These video games contain examples of:
* AliensStealCattle: One of the minigames in [=DWTD2's=] "Area Fifty-Dumb" segment has the player saving cows from [=UFOs=] attempting to abduct them.

Playing on a device without one or somewhere where you don't want to make noise? You can turn it off in the options menu so you won't run into it as you're playing.
* AsideGlance: At the end of the "jump the shark" level, your Fonzie-esque character does one of these as a LaughTrack and studio applause are heard.

* GottaCatchEmAll: One of the first game's main mechanics was collecting X amount of points to unlock one of the characters in the video.
* {{Irony}}: The "drive around the boom gates at a level crossing" level has you spelling the word "PATIENCE" on a constricting time limit.
* JumpingTheShark: The TropeNamer (''Series/HappyDays'') gets parodied InUniverse with a level in the second game where you play as a character dressed like Fonzie jumping over several sharks.
* KaizoTrap: Averted in the second game. If you do not trace correctly in one scene, even under one ''millisecond'', you ''die''.
* OneOfTheseDoorsIsNotLikeTheOther: In the first game, there's a level where there are three doors with one having a panda and two having killers. After they briefly appear onscreen behind the door, you must choose which one you think has the panda in it.
* RecurringElement: Many levels between the two games have the same playing mechanics (tapping, tilting, rubbing, etc), and the sequel reuses mechanics from the original.

* SchmuckBait:
** In the first game: the level with the BigRedButton. What do you need to do? Just don't press it.
** In the second game: there's a level that asks that you don't [[TongueOnTheFlagpole lick a pole]].
* SequelEscalation: Without a doubt. While the first game only had a small number of levels, second game has been reworked so that its user interface is based around a HubWorld where you can go to various places that offer different levels.
* TakeThatAudience:
** The first game has quite some fun taunting you in the quick intervals between levels. Even if you complete the level, the game may still take points away from you. In some instances if you lose a level, the game will give you a measly amount of points as a consolation prize. Not to mention the captions ("watch your language", "bad luck", etc.)
** An inversion occurs in the case that the game acts in the complete opposite way, rewarding you with captions like "because you deserve it" and "nice weather today".
* TongueOnTheFlagpole: A level in the second game asks you [[SchmuckBait not to lick a pole.]]
* TriumphantReprise: The second game's menu music consists of a rather badass orchestral rendition of the song.
* ViolationOfCommonSense: In the first game, you win one level by picking the door with a panda bear waiting at it instead of a serial killer. In reality, opening the door to [[BearsAreBadNews any kind of bear]] is just another dumb way to die.
