* WeaksauceWeakness: Bacteria can' resist anything sweet, and can be lured into a trap or ambush with simple pastry. (Of course, for a very ''big'' bacteria, you'd need a pretty big pastry.) Even the criminal mastermind Strepfinger was apprehended after Maria lured him out of his office with a pie.

* LethalChef: Hector attempting to cook breakfast for himself gives him ''two'' tapeworms!
** Those weren't tapeworms- they were a male and female trichonellis spiralis. Tapeworm infestation only saps nutrients and obstructs the GI tract, but Trichinosis attacks the muscles, including cardiac muscle.

The worst is likely Strepfinger, a crimelord who seems to be a streptococcal pharyngitis ("strep throat") bacteria, who's EvilPlan involves launching a parasitic plague on the city using Ozzy as a carrier. (And it's almost successful.)

* CorruptPolitician: Well, Mayor Spryman ''sometimes'' acts this way, but not always. And in his defense, one rival candidate that challenged him was far worse, causing Hector to experience growth spurts on purpose and blaming Spryman for it in order to discredit him, the biological equivalent of political fraud.

'''''Ozzy and Drix''''' (2002-2004) is an [[TheAnimatedSeries animated spinoff]] from the movie ''OsmosisJones''. Ozzy is a white blood cell who recently moved to the "[[CityOfAdventure City of Hector]]" (they were still in Frank at the start of the series but a mosquito bite while fighting a virus transferred them to a new body) and now [[TheyFightCrime fights cri]]--uh, illness--with his partner and friend, a pill named Drix. The show is {{Edutainment}}, but does so in a way thats not too preachy and keeps the action feel of the the movie. Each episode covers a topic of health and safety such as cavities, flatulence, or [[DrugsAreBad nicotine dependency]].

* SpeakFriendAndEnter: When the characters hosted a context for ''KidsWB'', the answer was to say what color Ozzy would turn on Saturday. The commercial showed a brief animation of what was purportedly a future mid-episode game showing many Ozzy's changing color, so viewers would initially presume that they had to wait until Saturday and watch for that special game. However, several ads showing clips from the new episode had already aired and Ozzy's wording was "what color I turn in the new episode", so a careful listener could send in the correct answer (pink) having already seen it in the ads!

!!Tropes the series has:
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Dander, who is, in this case, a dog germ. From an actual dog.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle
* BrattyHalfPint: Mayor Spryman is a stuck up punk, though he runs a teenager's body so it's justified. Probably represents Hector's current egoist mentality.
* BrotherChuck: Ellen Patella
* CaptainObvious: A random cop when one of the mayor's political opponents is talking in HulkSpeak.
-->'''Cop''': ''(talking to the chief of police)'' Sir! The serum seems to have impaired Sylvian's intellect!
-->'''Chief of Police''': Gee, do ya ''THIIIIIIIIINK?!?!?!''
* AChildShallLeadThem: Mayor Spryman is probably the youngest character in Hector, come to think.
* [[CityOfAdventure Body Of Adventure]]: Hector Cruz
* CoolCar: Backseat
* CompressedVice: The results of harmful decisions are treated this way.
* DaChief: Chief Gluteus
* EvilBrit: Nicotine.
* EvilTwin
* {{Expy}}:
** Chief Gluteus (Chief)
** The Mole (the flu shot)
** Mayor Spryman (Mayor Phlemming)
** Ellen Patella (Leah)
* GenderBender: Osmosis turning into a female, when he ends up inside a girl's body.
* InsultBackfire: "Yeah, well... you ugly!"
* InterspeciesRomance: Maria the white blood cell and Drix the cold pill.
* LethalChef: Hector attempting to cook breakfast for himself gives him ''two'' tapeworms!
* {{Meganekko}}: Ellen Patella
* MisterSeahorse: Subverted. Ozzy initially ''thinks'' he's pregnant (and is oddly happy about it too), but it turns out [[spoiler:the "baby" is actually a parasitic virus that's been injected into him.]]
* TheMole: Name of an actual character.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: When Ozzy catches up with Nicotine, we get this exchange.
-->'''Ozzy:''' Hey Nic, didn't you hear? This is a no smoking zone.
-->'''Nicotine:''' Oh yeah, I haven't heard that one a thousand times before.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[{{Metallica}} Metabolica]]
* TheOtherDarrin: Naturally. ChrisRock is replaced by PhilLamarr as Ozzy, and JeffBennett takes over [[{{Frasier}} David Hyde Pierce]]'s role as Drix.
* OnlySaneWoman: Officer Tyson is the only cell in Christine who dislikes Ozzy, even though he came from Hector.
* ThePowerOfLove: Inspires Hector to quit smoking.
* RecycledTheSeries: Clips from the movie are reused, including the runny nose scene, Frank yawning, and Drix dancing in the title sequence.
* ShoutOut
** [[JamesBond Bond, Penicillin Bond.]]
** [[{{Hulk}} "Must... smash... Spryman!"]]
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The proportion of characters' gender is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as most characters are male because Hector is male; during an episode taking place within a girl's body, the reverse is true, and laws, norms, etc. are stereotypically feminine (such as a law against burping).
* SnapBack: The film the series is based on ended with Frank learning to live healthier, as well as Ozzy getting together Leah. By the show's first episode, Leah has vanished and Frank is a slob again. Depressing.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: Since poor health choices are usually a gradual process, they would usually speed up the consequences of the kid's decisions radically. Leading to episodes with morals such as "If you spend one afternoon eating chips and not exercising, you will get fat and nearly have a heart attack."
* SpinoffBabies: Sort of? TheMovie took place in an older man's body, but the series is moved to a teen's, most likey to be more "kid-friendly."
** And added compatibility with the VerySpecialEpisode. Actually not a bad way to show the negative effects of smoking, allergies, etc on the human body. Or at least far more entertaining than most.
** If you don't push the metaphor too hard, it even makes sense that Ozzy would bring a veteran's knowledge of police work along to benefit the rookies in Hector's body. The immune systems of adults have usually developed a resistance to infections that kids' own defenses haven't yet learned to fight.
*** Or even needed to fight, as evidenced in the pilot episode with Scarlet Fever.
* StupidBoss: Mayor Spryman
** Chief Gluteus calls him "incompetent" during his reelection.
* StockFootage: Some clips from the movie can be seen in the show, and it isnt that hard to see it.
** "Aunti Histamine" features the runny nose sequence.
* UngratefulBastard: Mayor Spryman, Ozzy saves his ass more often then not and the little jerk can't even give a "thank you".
** He even punished Ozzy, Drix, and Maria for trying to vote for his opponent in the election. He may have done the same for Gluteus for calling him "incompetent".
* VerySpecialEpisode: The smoking episode
* TheWildcats: Hector's school nickname. For once, this trope is used ''without'' being abused.
