* AluminiumChristmasTrees: Eliot Kid may sound like an appropriate name for a KidAppealCharacter, but it's a real surname, having three origins:
** Middle English kid(e), meaning a young goat, where the word "kid" comes from.
** Middle English kidde, meaning "a bundle of wood".
** Cyda, an Anglo-Saxon for whom the town of Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England was named for.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Even with all the problems that he causes and the plenty of times that he drives her mad, Suzie doesn't hesitate in confronting anyone that dares to hurt Eliot. She also comforts Eliot when he is sad, worried or angry, in a really charming and loving manner.
* TheBully: Max, Eliot's archnemesis. Even though he's not a giant thug, he makes fun of and intimidates new classmates. Also, he is pretty snobby and arrogant and has bad grades.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainyFreeVillain: Although not a true villain by any means and certainly not ''evil'', Cathy, an ice-cream woman running a mobile van who only appeared in one episode, was a slight jerkass. But it was more JerkassHasAPoint due to Eliot and his friends damaging the inside of her highly expensive truck.

Added DiffLines:

* TwoTeacherSchool: We only ever see Mr. Leon and Ms.Brigitte at Eliot's school, and no other teachers. For a large size town, this is unusual, unless it's a suburb with less than 10k people that Eliot lives in.

Add Designated Villain which is invoked trope here rather than YMMV since we're seeing it from Eliot's POV

Added DiffLines:

* [[invoked]] DesignatedVillain: Although by no means villains, and just doing their job, the cinema staff in "Operation Pop-Corn" are presented as this, but that's only because we're seeing things from Eliot's point of view. In reality, they're just doing what any cinema staff would do to prevent the cinema from being damaged and were within their rights to get the kids out of areas off-limits to the public and stop them vandalizing the cinema.


Added DiffLines:

* HarmlessVillain: Many of the episodes' antagonists aren't that threatening; Igor the teenage musician is a {{Jerkass}} and TheBully, but not that threatening.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Igor the teenage musician, a OneShotCharacter in his only episode which was self-titled, may have been dislikeable, but he wasn't far wrong when he was angry with Eliot, Kaytoo and Mimi for damaging his expensive equipment.

* ConspiracyTheorist: The second episode "Invasion of the Robot Clones" has Eliot wrongly believing people are being replaced by robot duplicates. He takes it that seriously people think it's InUniverse, an OOCIsSeriousBusiness. [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]], in that it's shown in his imagination as MundaneMadeAwesome. It's rare for an 8-year-old to be into conspiracy theorists, but this is kept for WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.

Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* SnapBack: By the end of each episode, no attempt has been made to get rid of the ramifications of Eliot's behavior. The Kid family's house, or his school get damaged now and then, but by the next episode are back to normal with no explanation. Thus, despite the fact family bedrooms or a classroom are damaged several times, they're back to normal by the next episode. This even applies to when Eliot gets ''injured'', as shown in "Invasion of the Robot Clones".
