History WesternAnimation / SitdownShutup

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Larry for Miracle, whose attraction to him varies between episode to episode but is mostly uninterested in him. Helen is shown to be attracted to [[TheCasanova Ennis]] whenever she's not in love with inanimate objects but Ennis isn't attracted to her most of the time despite his promiscuity.

* TeensAreShort: The vast majority of the teenage characters are drawn like this.

''Sit Down, Shut Up'' was an [[ShortRunner short-lived]] animated series that first aired on Creator/{{Fox}} as part of their Sunday night animation block, premiering April 19, 2009. It is based on a sitcom of the same name from Australia, which was cancelled after 1 season.

* AnythingThatMoves: Ennis isn't exactly picky when it comes to women. During the hurricane episode, he says he's going to "go trolling for grandmas".

* {{Hypocrite}}: Sue Sezno on quite a few occasions.
* {{Jerkass}}: Ennis Hofftard.
* KavorkaMan: Ennis, except he's not that ugly and is somewhat in shape.

* PunnyName: Everyone.
* SassyBlackWoman: Sue Sezno is a bit of a toned down version of this, but she still fits.

* WillTheyOrWontThey:
** Larry and Miracle are set up for this.
** Helen and Andrew, too, especially in the last episode's break-up-make-up plot. Andrew: "If you were a woman or even a man, I'd totally kiss you." Helen: "And if you were a robot or a chair, I'd consider it."

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Miracle is (almost) always barefoot.

* GagBoobs: On Stuart of all people (after he took Helen's estrogen medication, believing they were steroids and when he was pretending to be his own sister), which are quite bouncy.

* DrugsAreBad: The school tried to send this message in one episode by making an anti-drug special, but not only did this fail, Larry ended up in a turf war with a high-voiced drug lord named Sweetie Pie.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Willard briefly becomes a dictator when most of the town is trapped in the school during a hurricane, and almost leads everyone to their deaths because he loves the power so much he'd rather die than give it up. He redeems himself in the end by going out into the flooded streets to save Miracle's baby.

* BareYourMidriff: Miracle wears a short long-sleeved white shirt that opens her belly button.

* SnapBack: Certain things that happen in an episode, like Willard losing his job or being evicted from his apartment, are never mentioned in the episodes after.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Sue Sezno is this on quite a few occasions.
