History WesternAnimation / Beetlejuice

** The Season 2 opening begins with Beetlejuice awakening from his tomb, resembling the one in Adam's model of the cemetery.

** In the movie, Delia's agent says that he's been losing money on her art for years and calls her a "flake" to her face. In "How Green Is My Gallery", the living people of Peaceful Pines laugh at Delia's strange art. The ghosts of the Neitherworld love it, though.

** An extremely subtle one - in "Poe-Pourri," Lydia says that she's the president of the Edgar Allan Poe fan club. In the film, Beetlejuice refers to her as "Edgar Allan Poe's daughter."

** In "Not So Peaceful Pines", Beetlejuice introduces himself as a "bio-exorcist" - his job from the movie.

* CurseCutShort: In "[[RobinHood Robbin Juice]] of Sherweird Forest", WanderingMinstrel Alan Airedale sings about Beetlejuice that either advise his next move or serve as a type of TheVillainSucksSong. One particular verse:

--->'''Lydia:''' ''You'' turned down ''a beetle?'' ''YOU!?''

* RoguesGallery: The show had several recurring villains who went up against Beetlejuice throughout the show, including Scuzzo and his brother, Mr. Monitor, Lipscum, Jesse Germ, Mr. Big, Bartholomew Batt, and Little Miss Warden. And in "The Neitherworld's Least Wanted", they even form a LegionOfDoom to attack Beetlejuice together.

* UselessSuperpowers: Beetlejuice's powers are, in many respects, only good for "[[UnusualEuphemism juicing]]" ([[ThePrankster pranking]]) people. This is good when AcceptableTargets are present. It is not good when one, say... needs stock for a bake sale.

* MultipleChoicePast: The show's main form of {{Discontinuity}}. Beetlejuice either started living in the Neitherworld after his death, or he has been in the Neitherworld since his existence began and always was a ghost.

* [[KickTheSonOfABitch Kick the Bitch]]: Claire Brewster is Beetlejuice's most common target, but she usually has it coming.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Zig-zagged with Lydia. She goes through all the same crazy situations as Beetlejuice, but typically goes unharmed and un"juiced" while BJ takes the slapstick instead. This is mostly due to slapstick being a karmic punchline for someone being a jerk (hence Claire Brewster getting tons of it), so the CloserToEarth Lydia usually avoids it. But in episodes where she's ''not'' in the right, even she gets it; one example is the plot of "Beetlegeezer", where she goes through a series of comically extreme accidents while trying to stop BJ and her grandmother from having fun.
** Lydia gets a harmless example in "A-Ha!" when Beetlejuice phones her from the Neitherworld. The ghostly operator asks her if she'll accept the charge, and when she does it turns out to be an ''electric'' charge. Lydia is irritated but not actually hurt. The shock gives her a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]]-like hairdo, but she returns her mane to normal with a HairReboot.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The Neitherworld's jail system consists of a Candyland-like environment run by [[EnfanteTerrible Little Miss Warden]], where prisoners are [[{{Brainwashed}} "rehabilitated"]] into cute, sweet, playful creatures. Beetlejuice is absolutely terrified of the place; in "Snugglejuice", the viewer sees why.

* WorkingOnTheChainGang: In "Snugglejuice," Beetlejuice, after being sent to Neither-Neither-Land, is forced to work on the "daisy chain gang."

** "Snugglejuice" has Beetlejuice sent to a rehabilitation camp as a result of getting in trouble for a prank gone too far, where he is transformed into a saccharine and well-mannered shell of his former self. It takes Dr. Prankenstein using the Prankenbeetle on Snugglejuice to turn him back into Beetlejuice.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The Neitherworld's jail system consists of a Candyland-like environment run by [[CreepyChild Little Miss Warden]], where prisoners are [[{{Brainwashed}} "rehabilitated"]] into cute, sweet, playful creatures.

* CreepyChild: Little Miss Warden, who's in charge of Neither-Neither-Land, the Neitherworld's prison system.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Claire. It's implied this is due to excessive tanning, but it counts.

* PoisonousFriend: Beetlejuice is this for Lydia at times, as he will happily drag her along into his latest scheme or scam, whether she's willing or not. He's deeply loyal to her, though, and he will not tolerate any ill treatment of her.
