History WesternAnimation / ChinaIL

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Pony. She has to inform everyone that she's Mexican.

* ButtMonkey: Frank.

* {{Crossover}}: Between the WebAnimation/ProfessorBrothers and WebAnimation/BabyCakes

* DisproportionateRetribution[=/=]KarmaHoudini: In "Prank Week" Baby Cakes kidnaps 5 people and makes everyone think a serial killer on the loose but when the truth comes out he gets a celebration due to everyone misinterpreting it as a huge prank since it was [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Prank Week]].

* GentleGiant: Baby Cakes.

* LargeAndInCharge: The Dean, and The Mayor.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Little Brother Instinct: When Steve gets shot during the Dean's List challenge, Frank goes from weak and whiny, to a Franchise/{{Rambo}}esque asskicker.

* OedipalComplex: Inverted in "Parents Day." Steves mother, who's aroused by "alpha" men, gets turned on by Steve taking charge in any situation, from helping the family out of financial troubles to ''hailing a taxi'', which inadvertently displaces his complacent, testosterone-challenged father. She spends the entire episode either flirting with or coming onto her son and even after realizing what she's been doing and becoming repulsed, she still can't control her urges until Steve's father gets a slight testosterone boost at the end.

* PowerWalk: Baby Cakes, Frank, Steve, and Pony during the opening credits.

** The Dream Reamer for the Brain Fuckler, both being [[NotSoImaginaryFriend seemingly imaginary friends]] of Baby Cakes who's names basically mean "having sex with minds", but with "Reamer" being less profane than "Fuckler". The Dream Reamer also has a rich latin accent, possibly alluding to the Fuckler's brown AmbiguouslyBrown skin tone.

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: In universe the relationship counseling service Total Validation believes that the person who comes to there building with a complaint is automatically wrong. It reaches InsaneTrollLogic levels as they will admit the person has a point, but will still find them in the wrong simply for complaining. Jack apologized to his wife upon finding out that they agreed with Babycakes
* TheQuisling: Frank, after the Mayor takes over the campus.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Frank delivers one to his shallow neighbor-girl at the end of "Magical Pet," yelling at her for not giving him a chance. He finds confidence from the good deeds he did that episodes and ends up declaring "I AM MAGICAL!"
* ThirdPersonPerson: The Mayor.

* TookALevelInDumbass: The Dean he went from CrazyIsCool in season 1 to ManChild in season 2.

* RefugeInAudacity

** Eventually, the entire school starts egging the two of them on to hurry up already and admit they love each other. [[JustFriends Neither Steve nor Pony are happy with this situation]], as every man and woman they try to sleep with is telling them the two of them ought to be together instead; eventually, Steve and Pony try to stage a fake 'on fire' just to make people stop saying they were in love. However due to Baby Cake people think they're more in love than ever much to their consternation.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Much like his previous incarnations, it's never explained whether or not Baby Cakes has some sort of development disorder or is just a {{manchild}}.

* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Steve. He's been described as an "alpha male" by some and he's a lot more collected than his brother.
** TheLancer: Frank. In spite of his ButtMonkey tendencies, when he and Steve are at their best, he tends to follow along with him.
** TheBigGuy: Baby Cakes. He's repeatedly demonstrated to be incredibly strong, even for somebody of his size.
** TheSmartGuy: Mark Cakes. He is a genius inventor who creates devices that just "work" no matter how nonsensical their function is.
** TheChick: Pony. The sole female of the group and tends to be the one who keeps it together as the voice of reason.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Pony's breasts bounce with considerable detail in the opening.
** The episode "China-Man Begins" culminates in a hormone-crazed Baby Cakes picking up Pony and shaking her up and down for this reason.

* {{Dark Skinned Blond}}e: The Dean's wife, newscaster Golden Bowl, and his daughter Debra Bowl.

* BerserkButton
** Frank seems to have quite a few. In fact, this seems to be his default reaction to most situations.
** Steve ''loathes'' Music/TheBeachBoys, as seen in "Surfer God".

** Pony can't speak Spanish to save her life and was under the impression that Mexico is so poor that she could go to a university there for just pocket change.

* TookALevelInDumbass: The Dean he went from CrazyAwesome in season 1 to ManChild in season 2.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Ok, she's more chubby than "big," but Pony otherwise fits the bill, with numerous male students and faculty members at UCI being interested in her sexually, with little regard to her size.

* OedipalComplex: Inverted in "Parents Day." Steves mother, who's aroused by "alpha" men, gets turned on by Steve taking charge in any situation, from helping the family out of financial troubles to ''hailing a taxi'', which inadvertently displaces his complacent, testosterone-challenged father. Once Steve tells he what she's been doing, it [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone repulses her]].
