History WesternAnimation / SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies

* CrossCastRole: InUniverse examples: A few [[FracturedFairyTale fairy tale sketches]] have Frankie in a drag role, such as Gretel, or the little girl who antagonizes Little Red Riding Wolf and his grandfather. The Goldilocks story has two examples in Goldilocks herself (Frankie again) and Mummy Bear (no points for guessing who).

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Parodied in the song "Save Your Good Lovin' for Me" in that the girl chasing Hauntleroy in hopes of kissing him is a robot controlled by Batso and Ratso.

* IronicEcho: After Batso and Ratso make Frankie a BandageMummy while camping, and then start eating some Sudden-Fright chicken from the picnic casket, Frankie asks if he gets any, and they tell him that patients aren't allowed to eat and he might get grease spots on the bandages. Later, after Mummy's unraveling the bandages from Frankie leads to Batso and Ratso getting tied to a tree, Frankie and Mummy are eating and, when asked to share the food, throw the twins' words back at them.

** '''Frank''' (after being struck by lightning): "I needed that!"

* Really700YearsOld: The adult Goolies, at least, seem to be centuries old, as a home movie of Frankie's 505th birthday party shows them as little tykes. Plus, a comment from Wolfie in another episode indicates that Mummy's at least 3 millennia old.

* MagicalGirl: The ''Sabrina'' portion of this Saturday-morning cartoon was the first American-made magical girl animated show, the first magical girl that is not a PinkHeroine, and the first magical girl show to air in the United States. When she was seen by the Japanese audiences, she was viewed as being the American counterpart of Sally.

-->'''Hagatha''': Oh dear, that really shattered my ego.

* MailmanVsDog: Played with in one "Tell It to Bella" segment: Boneapart consults Bella on how to ward off dogs, and she gives him a suit to disguise himself, but unfortunately it's a mailman uniform.

* IWantMyMommy: Hauntleroy reacts this way a couple times after something awful happens to him. In one of those instances, he says it verbatim when Wolfie spanks him with a surfboard, after Hauntleroy is mistaken for having stolen it.

* MailmanVsDog: Played with in one "Tell It to Bella" segment: Boneapart consults Bella on how to ward off hungry dogs, and she gives him a suit to disguise himself, but unfortunately it's a mailman uniform.

** A few puns are these, such as a TV show called "Bride and Gloom", and an actress named "[[Creator/SophiaLoren Sofa Loren]]".

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Frankie's voice is based off Creator/BorisKarloff (obviously), while Mummy has a voice very much like Ed Wynn (don't ya know!).

* NurseWithGoodIntentions: Mummy can come off as this when doing first aid on his fellow Goolies, such as when he puts Boneapart together wrong in one episode.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Wolfie in his Wolf Wagon. A home movie reveals that it's even happened when he was a baby.

* ComedicUnderwearExposure: Drac and Frankie have each had the seats of their pants torn on separate occasions.

** A few puns are these, such as a TV show called "Bride and Gloom", and an actress named "[[Creator/SophiaLoren Sofa Loren".

* MeaningfulName: Boneapart frequently falls apart in accidents.

* FanOfTheUnderdog: Apparently Frank is a huge fan of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' NoRespectGuy WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.

* [[CoolCar Cool Broom]]: Sabrina's ride had a big cushioned eggshell-like seat with a flower on top. (Aunt Zelda flew a vacuum cleaner.)
