History WesternAnimation / TeenTitansGo

* AgeLift: Rather than Negative Man or Negative Woman, this continuity's version of the Doom Patrol has a Negative Girl, who is cleary a child.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', the Titans are straight-laced heroes but were still relatable characters. Here, they regularly display {{Jerkass}} behavior, are often VitriolicBestBuds, and are {{Heroic Comedic Sociopath}}s, often on par with.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Parodied with ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}: In "Two Parter: Part Two," His deep, gravely, and threatening voice was the result of him fighting off a cold. Once he took a throat lozenge, he sounded more easygoing. Being voiced by Music/WeirdAlYankovic helped. The Titans admit his voice wasn't threatening anymore afterward.
* ExcitedShowTitle

The series premiered on April 23, 2013 alongside ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'', replacing ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' on Cartoon Network's DC Nation block, though it proved successful enough to receive a primetime slot in addition to its Saturday morning one. Following DC Nation's cancellation [[note]]though by that point, ''Beware the Batman'' was cancelled, with ''Teen Titans Go!'' being the sole show running on the block[[/note]], ''Teen Titans Go!'' was integrated into the regular Cartoon Network lineup, becoming one of, if not, the most popular series on the network. This, however, would lead to it being [[AdoredByTheNetwork/TeenTitansGo milked by Cartoon Network]] several times. In early 2021, it was announced the series would be getting its own spinoff, ''The Night Begins to Shine,'' based off of the episode "40%, 40%, 20%", and its subsequent two-sequel miniseries. As of April 23, 2023, the series is now 10 years old. This makes it both the [[LongRunners longest running animated series]] based on a DC franchise, and [[SeriousBusiness the longest running Cartoon Network series]] of '''all time'''. The series has its own host of tie-in media including:

The series has its own host of tie-in media including:

** In "Burger vs. Burrito", Cyborg punches a bowl of beef while wearing an apron labeled "[[LampshadeHanging Food Pun]]". In other words, [[ADateWithRosiePalms he's beating his meat]].

[[folder: A-H]]

** And again in the following short, "Pie Bros", when she claims Mother Mae Eye makes pies out of people. [[{{Irony}} All the Titans laugh it off as a silly rumor]].
** The story about Second Santa was true as Starfire saw him while the Titans were in the hospital.
** In "The Mask", Starfire believes that Robin never takes off his mask because he's hiding a parasitic twin in one eye. Turns out that she was right.

** In "Starfire the Terrible", she is somehow able to make functioning laser turrets out of cardboard, which are operated by a control panel despite the buttons being crayon drawings she makes the noises for.
** In "Staring into the Future", Beast Boy and Cyborg stare at a slice of pizza for 30 years and manage not to age in any form.

** In "The Date", Robin bribes Cyborg and Beast Boy with Scooby Snacks. Menville [[WesternAnimation/ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue once voiced Shaggy]].

** In the Valentine's Day special, Beast Boy sings "Fade Away", a song originally sung by Cipes.
** "Truth, Justice, and What?" features Cipes voicing [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 "those cool turtles"]]. Plus, there's a scene where Beast Boy impulsively exposes himself to some radioactive slime to mutate himself, undergoes some BodyHorror and nearly dies from the result, very similar to what Mikey does in [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S2E5MikeyGetsShellacne an episode]] of the 2012 cartoon. Scott Menville voices one of the other turtles, and also has had a recurring role in the new cartoon.
** "The Hive Five" has Cyborg asking See-More to draw a sketch of him, while making all sorts of crazy demands. By the time the latter is finally finished, the sketch looks less like Cyborg and more like Creator/KharyPayton, his voice actor.
** In "Two Parter", the Titans gush about Music/WeirdAlYankovic when they realize that ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} sounds just like him. Darkseid was voiced by Weird Al.
** In "TTG v. PPG", when the Powerpuff Girls arrive at Titans Tower, Raven is the the one who interacts with Bubbles first. [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 In the original version]] of ''The Powerpuff Girls'', Tara Strong was the one who voiced Bubbles. The same episode includes a joke that works as an allusion in the Italian dub: when the Titans disguise themselves as the PPG, Raven is the one dressed as Buttercup. Monica Bertolotti is the Italian voice for both Raven and Buttercup.
** In "Think About Your Future" Beast Boy says he wants to get a dragon tattoo that distinctly looks like Iron Fist's Steel Serpent. In the ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' cartoon, Greg Cipes voices Iron Fist.
** In "Snuggle Time", Robin undergoes an EvilMakeover with a [[BaldOfEvil bald head]] and [[BeardOfEvil goatee]] that happens to make him look like [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Scott_Menville_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg/220px-Scott_Menville_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg his voice actor.]]
** In "Scary Figure Dance", Cyborg is dressed up as a vampire for Halloween, interestingly enough, his voice actor Creator/KharyPayton had previously played one after injecting himself with Dracula's blood in the DirectToVideo sequel to ''Film/Dracula2000'', ''Dracula II: Ascension''.
** In "Hot Salad Water", Robin's song references, of all films, ''Film/ErnestGoesToCamp'', as well as ''Series/FullHouse'', both of which have Creator/ScottMenville appearing in two of his few live-action roles (as Crutchfield and Duane, respectively).
** In "Ghost with the Most", [[Film/{{Beetlejuice}} Betelgeuse]] tells the Titans that he's currently starring in a Broadway show. His voice actor, Alex Brightman, previously played the character in the ''Theatre/{{Beetlejuice}}'' stage musical.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Raven chews out Cyborg and Beast Boy for turning the clown into a rebellious monster in "The Return of Slade", she admits during her tirade that the transformed clown actually is kind of funny.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', the Titans are straight-laced heroes but were still relatable characters. Here, they regularly display {{Jerkass}} behavior, are often VitriolicBestBuds, and are {{Heroic Comedic Sociopath}}s, often on par with .
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: "The Real Orangins" had an {{Art Shift}}ed segement based on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', complete with Creator/KevinConroy as Batman -- only it modified the Robin design, based on [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Tim Drake's Robin]] for the sake of [[AdaptationalModesty the inverse of this trope]], so it'd have the classic shorts.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Dick Grayson is usually ''the'' MrFanservice of the DC universe, both in-universe and amongst fans. Even as a teenager he was pretty cute for his age. The show made him into an ugly LoserProtagonist. Almost all of it is an InformedFlaw though, since despite everyone (including himself) mentioning his flaws, Robin doesn't look much different than normal.

** Beast Boy has a new hairstyle which more resembles his contemporary comics one.
** Blackfire's skin-tone is much paler than before.

** In "Burger vs. Burrito", Cyborg and Beast Boy's final showdown is full of ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]''-esque moves that incorporate this.
** In "No Fourth Wall", Robin calls Control Freak a Crazy Couch Potato. In "Classic Titans", he escalates this by calling him a Sanctimonious Sofa Spud.
* AffablyEvil: Trigon, a supportive dad who just wants his daughter to live up to her full potential, and is also the demonic conqueror of a hundred dimensions.

* AHouseDivided: In "Starliar", Starfire's lies cause Robin, Cyborg, and Raven to turn on each other. Luckily, everything gets resolved when Starfire comes clean.

** Robin tells the other Titans that they're going to build a senior center but immediately changes his mind to build a pool once Starfire says she wishes she had a reason to wear a bikini.

** In "Grandma Voice", he comments on how good Starfire looks in her outfit.
** Beast Boy shows signs of this in "Legs".

* AnachronismStew: The episode "Marv Wolfman and George Pérez" featured the two eponymous authors brainstorming during what's supposed to be the year 1980. However, one of the scenarios they came up with featured Superman fighting Doomsday. Doomsday as a fictional character wouldn't make his comic book debut until the year 1992.

** In "Super Robin", Beast Boy's transformation into a T. Rex is more detailed and fluid than normal. If paused at the right moment, he can be seen halfway through his transformation as a human/dinosaur hybrid.

** The girls' fight against Brainbot in part two of "Operation: Dude Rescue" is a lot more fluid and dynamic then usual.
** Season 5 after TheMovie has enjoyed one, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI1njlqFnKQ the battle between Brother Blood and the Titans]] during "The Fight".

* AppleOfDiscord: In "Caramel Apples", Trigon showers attention on Starfire in an attempt to annoy Raven and get the two to fight.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In "Slumber Party", Cyborg relates a childhood story about an encounter with a Bloody Mary-esque ghost called Scary Terri. When the others don't believe him, he points out that Raven's father is a demon. Raven counters that her father doesn't waste his time hanging out at slumber parties (unless he's super bored).

* ArtEvolution: Starting out, the art style was a lot more sketchy and much brighter. As the series goes on, the show's outlines becomes more refined, the saturation gets toned down and the colors become bolder.

** When they find a comic book in "Books", the art shifts to show Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy as they appeared in the original ''Teen Titans'' comic.

** In "Caramel Apples", part of one of Robin's inspirational speeches includes a shot of Beast Boy and Cyborg as they appeared in the original animated series.
** "Knowledge" has Raven take on the style of ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' when she sing a song about "metaphorical expressions" to Starfire.

** In "Campfire Stories", each of the Titans' stories is shown in a different style.
** In "The Mask", Robin goes from being SuperDeformed to being drawn in the style of the original ''Teen Titans'' cartoon.

** "The Fourth Wall" features a shift to a more arthouse animation style when the Titans attempt to go "highbrow".

** In "Riding the Dragon", once the Titans get sucked into the game, the art style becomes a slightly more stylized version of the art in Raven's campfire story.
* ArtisticLicenseLaw: In "Genie President", the Titans almost get arrested for defacing currency. It's actually not illegal to deface currency unless you try to use the defaced currency as real ones.

** Creator/BobUecker in "BBRBDAY".

* AscendedExtra: Silkie, Starfire's pet grub who first appeared in "Can I Keep Him?" in the original series, appears frequently and even [[ADayInTheLimelight stars]] in a few episodes.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: In "Gorilla", Beast Boy defeats Robin and declares himself team leader. To become leader again, Robin has to beat him.
* AuthorFilibuster: "Who's Laughing Now" centers around Beast Boy wanting to find his Spirit Animal, and the whole "search" is played up like entering into a 4-year college to get a diploma. The issue of having BB enter a 2-year technical school to find his spirit animal is even brought up as a plot point. In the end, BB finds his spirit animal and is handed a diploma certifying it after all the hardships he endured. The episode finishes out with Cyborg giving a rant about how pathetic our educational systems are to try and validate hundreds of thousands of students every year by giving them a worthless piece of paper and throwing them into an empty job market and poor economy, and force them to spend the rest of their lives with financial debt that they in all likelihood will never get paid off.
* AutobotsRockOut: "40%, 40%, 20%" focuses on Cyborg's obsession with "The Night Begins to Shine" song previously heard in "Slumber Party". He tries to show the other Titans ThePowerOfRock, but when the Brain captures everyone and smashes his tape, the other Titans start singing the song a capella to inspire Cyborg to transform into "Cyborgimus Prime" and rescue them.
* AutoTune: From Starfire during the musical number in "Uncle Jokes".

* BadassAdorable: It may be mostly attributed to the art-style, but all the characters seem to be this. Special mention goes to Starfire during the episode "Starfire the Terrible": she successfully blows up the moon, has a fully functioning secret lair in the Titans' back yard complete with laser defenses, legions of deathbots, and a piranha tank despite her control panel (and everything else) being made completely out of cardboard, tape, and crayons, and manages to defeat the other Titans [[spoiler:before Robin sucker punches her with his motorcycle.]] All while giggling and having very little idea about how to be an imposing, scary villain no matter how hard she tries.

** In "Artful Dodgers", at first it seems like the boys aren't letting Starfire and Raven play dodgeball because of the typical "girls can't play sports" reason. But then we get a flashback of Raven losing her temper and trying to devour the rival team, and Starfire trying to eat the dodgeball.

** Despite the name of the episode, "The Return of Slade" [[BlatantLies never actually features Slade]], with the entire episode turning out to be a RatingsStunt. Instead the Titans defeat Slade offscreen [[OffScreenMomentOfAwesome over the course of three episodes and a TV movie]]. The rest of the episode ends up being another shallow TakeThatCritics.
** Again with "Batman v. Teen Titans: Dark Injustice", where Batman doesn't even appear, excluding one of his gag cameos. Though the episode did air on AprilFoolsDay.
* BananaPeel: Used liberally in "Gorilla", where Beast Boy throws them at Robin as a RunningGag. Raven somehow slips on one while ''levitating''.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: In "Laundry Day", Robin fights in nothing but some strategically-placed mud, but is [[http://images.wikia.com/teen-titans-go/images/7/79/3.jpg still clearly lacking some important bits.]]
* BatDeduction: In "Sandwich Thief", Robin uses spurious logic to somehow deduce that his future self stole his perfect sandwich, only for that sandwich to then travel to another planet.
* BattleInterruptingShout: In "Starliar", Starfire interrupts the Titans' brawl by shouting "STOP!". Cyborg still takes the chance to bean Robin with his anvil-hand.

** See-More vs. Raven in "Super Robin". See-More loses rather quickly.
** Robin's whistling powers vs. Gizmo's laser in "Mouth Hole".

** In "Super Robin", Raven agrees to grant Robin superpowers, only to show him that such powers are in fact a curse. [[spoiler:After solving all the world's problems within three seconds of acquiring these powers, there's no longer a need for superheroes and all the Titans are out of a job.]]

* BehindTheBlack: In "Dog Hand", Raven doesn't notice Cyborg has a dog for a hand until he holds it up for the viewers to see.
* BeleagueredBoss: Robin is the team leader of the incompetent Teen Titans, though unlike most examples of this trope he's just as bad (if not worse) than the team he's leading. Several instances indicate the Titans hold little to no respect for him as leader and would be happy to replace him or ursurp his leadership when given the chance.
* BeQuietNudge: In "Matched", Cyborg says that Robin convinced him to make his matchmaking program because he wanted to prove that he and Star were meant to be together. He says this in front of Starfire, so Robin nudges him.

** Beast Boy and Cyborg get theirs pressed at the very end of "Hey Pizza!", when they see a senior get exactly what they've been trying to get for the whole episode: a free pizza. Let's just say "overreacting" is an understatement.
** Don't question Robin's authority and never make him jealous. Also don't insinuate that he is short, claim he has "baby hands", do anything that seemingly threatens his relationship with Batman, steal his sandwich, interrupt him while he's trying to give a long-winded lesson, call his staff a stick, or break said stick. Oh, and don't exist around him if he is named merely salutatorian and not valedictorian. And don't steal his nuts.
* BigBallOfViolence: Robin gets into one with a tiger in "Gorilla". Among other times, they once formed one against Brother Blood while suspended from a ceiling.
* BiggerOnTheInside: Robin's blanket fort in "Slumber Party". It's only about 2 feet square on the outside, but inside is a fully constructed palace with a bowling alley, basketball court, indoor fountains, a dance parlor, and a 2nd floor guest bedroom.

** In the ending of "Tower Power", a techno-mad Cyborg prevents his friends from separating him with the tower controls, by making them a part of the tower as well. It appears he decapitated them and attached their heads to various household appliances.
** In "Friendship", Beast Boy tries to turn into a pegasus, but instead he turns into a giant bird with a horse head and some of his original limbs.
** In the ending of "Waffles", Beast Boy and Cyborg were put on the torture table, and it's revealed that Beast Boy has been skeletonized from his neck to his feet.
** In "Truth, Justice and What?", since Robin declared a pizza ban, the other Titans drink radioactive ooze to turn into turtles so they can hang out with the "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles cool turtle dudes]]." It mutates them horribly and gives them nothing but agonizing pain. One cut later and they're all fine, but still.

** In "Boys vs Girls" we see Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven's eyes in the darkness.

* CharacterExaggeration: The various personalities the characters had in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 the old series]] are more exaggerated in this one in order to fit the tune of a GagSeries. These include some of the characters either taking a level in [[TookALevelInJerkass jerkass]] or [[TookALevelInDumbass dumbass]] depending on the comedic situation. It never reaches the point of {{Flanderization}} though, although to its deficit, Robin comes pretty close compared to the original cartoon and comics due to his violent "beat first, ask later" approach to things, along with his selfishness and willingness to rub his leader status in his friends' faces. This often results with him [[LaserGuidedKarma getting his just desserts, though.]]

** "Beast Boy On A Shelf" is a spoof of ''The Elf On The Shelf'', a storybook whose {{animated adaptation}}s air anually on Cartoon Network.

* CosmicPlaything: The Titans fight against Father Time for the right to have just one good News Years celebration without something going wrong. Every year went horribly wrong because Father Time [[BecauseItAmusedMe found it too funny]].

* CourtroomEpisode: "A Farce", in which the Titans are put on trial for destroying Jump City, at which they attempt to prove their innocence, but nothing, not even Robin using the jury's love of a good show, works.
* CoveredInGunge: The Titans get slimed after blowing up a slime monster in "Laundry Day", then later on after a naked Robin mistakenly falls off the Tower he ends up getting his nakedness [[SceneryCensor covered up by mud]].

** Not surprisingly had one with fellow CN DC toon, ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls2019'' as well. [[note]]Ironically in that show, the Teen Titans are known as the Tween Titans with there... not being much different between this show and their incarnations in that one other than being pre-teens.[[/note]]. And had another one in it's seventh season.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: In "Tower Power", Cyborg's [[BrainUploading brain gets uploaded]] into Titans Tower mainframe; making him fully mechanical. He slowly loses his humanity and becomes hostile to his friends.

** Ironically enough the show ''is'' edgier than the original in some ways. While it's (much) less serious, it definitely earns the TV-PG rating with the frequent aversions of NeverSayDie (to the point of even joking about old people dying) and the sheer amount of BlackComedy and ComedicSociopathy.

* DeathByIrony: In "Ghost Boy", [[spoiler:Robin ''falls to his death''. About five seconds after bragging that he has nothing to worry about since he's an ''acrobatics expert''. Sort of depressing when you [[SuperHeroOrigin consider how he got into the business...]]]]
* DeathFromAbove: Death by random sky laser is apparently a common problem on Starfire's homeworld. In "Ghost Boy", [[spoiler:she and Raven are randomly struck down by sky lasers]].
* DenserAndWackier[=/=]LighterAndSofter: Than its most recent counterpart ''Young Justice'' and even the original ''Teen Titans'' animated series. There's much more focus on comedy than the action. It's so light and soft that the color palette for the show is primarily bright blue and pink, compared to the original show's dark blue, grey, purple, and black. The Second Season goes even further into the sillier side.
** DarkerAndEdgier: In a sense. The humor here is [[BlackComedy much darker]] than in the original series, and NeverSayDie is completely averted. The jokes that the show gets away with are ''much'' more risqué than anything in the original series and it definitely earns its TV-PG rating.

* DetonationMoon: [[spoiler: What Starfire does to truly prove her villainy in "Starfire the Terrible".]]

* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: In "Salty Codgers", Raven barters with Death for the souls of her friends, in exchange for her own. After getting him to give up their souls, she reveals that she lacks one on account of being half-demon. Death tried to get her back by turning her friends into zombies, but Raven found that to be an added bonus.

** In "The Left Leg", the Titans pilot a HumongousMecha to deal with Kitten for robbing a bank. Justified because Robin wanted to to use said Mecha and was impatient.
** In "Caramel Apples", Trigon tries to destroy the Earth because Raven didn't give him a Father's Day gift.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The aspects of Raven's personality are given more individualization in "Colors of Raven" than they showed in the original "Nevermore". They each have their own eye color, a unique clasp for their cloak and more vocal differentiation from Creator/TaraStrong. They also have minor physical differences, such as Red Raven's pointy teeth and Orange Raven's dopey expression.
* DoomDoors: Shows up when Cyborg gets KO'd in "Staff Meeting". In fact, the show uses a lot of stock sound effects in unorthodox ways, such as the sound effect for Instant Message programs being used for thought bubbles.
* DownerEnding: "Body Adventure" has the Titans doing a FantasticVoyagePlot into Cyborg's body to get rid of the cold he's suffering from. Even after meeting the virus itself, they're unable to get rid of the lazy slob-like virus, and leave. In the next scene, they try calling a doctor, but are too tiny for the 911 operator to understand them. Cue end of episode:

** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in "The Cape", where most of the dialogue of the GagDub in the first episode of the original series consists of Robin talking about his cape flowing in the wind. When Raven asks where the wind is coming from inside the prison facility they're standing in, Robin says he specifically set everyone up in front of a vent just to get this.

* DrivingTestSmashers: In "Driver's Ed", Robin takes up driver's ed after his license is suspended, but [[ObfuscatingStupidity feigns ignorance]] that his instructor Ed is using him as a getaway driver.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The show initially liked to occasionally change the font color of the episodes titles from the standard yellow font with dark orange outlines, usually them giving it a blue font with pink outlines[[note]]Pie Bros and La Larva de Amor exclusively used green with pink and orange with dark orange respectively[[/note]]. After "The Left Leg", the last episode of the first half of Season 1, this was dropped.

** In "The Teen Titans Go! Easter Holiday Classic", the Easter Bunny goes missing and it's up to the Titans to locate him before Easter is ruined.

** In "Booty Eggs", the Titans decide to track down and banish the Easter Bunny, believing him to be gross. When they do, they decide to create the eggs themselves for the egg hunt.
** In "Egg Hunt", Robin regrets not finding an Easter Egg that he was looking for when he was a kid, so the Titans decide to locate it.
** In "Feed Me", the Titans accidentally release a marshmallow ducky which had been locked up by the Easter Bunny, necessitating a search to relocate it and lock it up again.
* EatTheEvidence: In "Laundry Day", Robin disposes of the schedule that proves it is his turn to do the laundry by putting it into a blender, turning it into a smoothie and drinking it. He later burps it back up.
* EdibleAmmunition: In "The Date", Robin dressed as Speedy fires a ham at the real Speedy during a food fight. [[UnsoundEffect Ham-boned]]!

** In "Super Robin", Robin fuses himself with a robin bird to get super powers, which doesn't work, but it could somehow make him lay an egg. He cooks it.
** In "Pyramid Scheme", Beast Boy does this while going into labor with the other Titans around him like he's a mother delivering a baby, making him learn AnAesop about "hard labor." He does it again in "Chickens in the Cradle when he lays another egg, though this time his parenting style is ParentalNeglect, letting the other Titans raise his son until he finds out the hard way his son's fallen in with some [[LiteralMetaphor bad eggs]], going PapaWolf on them.

* EpicFail: An odd variation has Starfire sewing using cloth, glue, a saw, and milk and placing it in an oven. The result is oddly an {{Expy}} of a Franchise/DisneyPrincess dress. But Starfire's reaction is that it's hideous.

** Jinx has shades of this. In "Artful Dodgers", she was the first to point out the Titans using their powers, which is considered to be cheating.
** Also she was disgusted at how the disguised Titans kept beating up Mammoth in "In and Out", even calling Red X "mean".
** In "Snuggle Time", when the Titans are sharing ideas for evil plots, Raven suggests buying out politicians and corrupting the government over time (not unlike the current political climate in the US). The other Titans and their henchmen veto the idea.
* EverybodyDiesEnding: Many episodes end with all of the titans dead, all PlayedForLaughs. A notable instance, and the first instance, is at the end of "Ghost Boy".

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Starfire in "Starfire the Terrible" and the rest of the Titans in "Snuggle Time".

* EvilFeelsGood: In "Snuggle Time", the Titans become villains because they're tired of having to live their lives to the schedules and crime alerts of villains like The HIVE. They pull a FaceHeelTurn and become The Legion of Doom (justifying that they stole the name, because they're villains now); The HIVE thinks that they're trying to teach them a lesson about the error of their ways, but the Titans say they're doing it because it's fun.
* EvilLaugh: Most of the episodes has these.
** In "Starfire the Terrible", Starfire tries coming up with one after becoming Robin's archnemesis. Her first attempt is her usual giggle. The second sounds slightly more sinister. The third is just her making a gurgling noise. She settles on the gurgle.
** In "Scary Figure Dance", Ghost!Robin does this when haunting Jinx.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Parodied with ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}: In "Two Parter: Part Two", His deep, gravely, and threatening voice was the result of him fighting off a cold. Once he took a throat lozenge; he sounded more easy going. Being voiced by Music/WeirdAlYankovic helped. The Titans admit his voice wasn't threatening anymore afterward.

** In "Knowledge", Starfire takes Beast Boy's request for a blind date quite literally and fires EyeBeams into his eyes.
** In "Nature", a snake bites Beast Boy's eye, causing his eyelids to turn purple and swell shut.
* FaceHeelTurn: Parodied in "Starfire the Terrible", then played straight in "Opposites", when Cyborg convinces the Titans to become evil so he can be with Jinx, not knowing that Jinx has convinced the HIVE Five to go good.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: The "Island Adventure" event informs us in the introduction that it will last five days, so naturally the rocket escape plan on Day 1 doesn't pan out. It's just as well, though, since the unstable rocket fuel Beast Boy found would have killed them.

** Even though this is simplified artwork, in "Books", during the art shift where the Titans are drawn like their comic counterparts, Starfire is wearing her NavelDeepNeckline outfit for ten seconds.
** When Robin becomes Nightwing in "Staring into the Future", the camera really likes [[FemaleGaze focusing on his toned buttcheeks]].
** Also watch "Mr. Butt".

** The [[spoiler:original Beast Boy and Cyborg in their secret apartment]] in "Double Trouble".
** [[spoiler:Beast Boy and Cyborg]] enter this territory again in "Smile Bones", and eventually, [[spoiler:their now-sapient bellies usurp it from them]].

** In "Breakfast Cheese", the Titans treat the H.I.V.E. loitering near a "no loitering" sign as an excuse to beat them up. This is even what kicks off the plot of the episode, as Starfire realizes that pounding someone into oblivion just for loitering is ''way'' too harsh, and that the Titans have gotten more bloodthirsty thanks to all the fighting.

** Blackfire loves to stare at Robin's butt in "Mr. Butt".
** Interest in tight buttocks seems to run in the family, judging from Starfire's reactions to Robin's and Kid Flash's butts in "Multiple Trick Pony".
* FireBreathingDiner: In the episode, "The Spice Game" the Titans, sans Robin, all become addicted to spicy foods, using peppers and such on everything, to the point where even the mighty Habanero does nothing for them. They then consume the "Tears of Zephos" and begin breathing fire uncontrollably, forcing them to quest for milk from the Dairy King to put out the fires.
* FisherKing: In "Gorilla", after Gorilla!Beast Boy takes over as leader, the base becomes more jungle-like and Raven and Starfire become more animal-like the longer he's in charge.

* FiveFingerFillet: In "Birds", one of the mutant mockingbirds does this using his beak.

** All of the Titans except Robin, especially Raven and Starfire who substitute this for walking.

* FoodBasedSuperpowers: In one episode, Robin gains avocado superpowers, such as the ability to project an avocado shield, after eating an avocado given to him by Beast Boy. The effects wear off after a while, however, and Robin needs to eat another to restore them. Inevitably, the PowerCorrupts Robin and he devises an evil scheme to make avocados the only food in the world. He eventually merges with a pile of avocados to become an unstoppable avocado monster only defeated after he is given spicy guacamole, which shrinks him, as it's Robin's {{weak|sauceWeakness}}ness.
* FoodPorn: After watching "Burger vs. Burrito", you ''will'' get... the hunger.
* ForcedTransformation: In "Thanksgiving", Trigon tries to replace Robin's ruined turkey by magically changing Cyborg into a new turkey. Raven stops him from killing one of her friends as food. They settle on using Batman, instead.

** In "Road Trip", the other Titans get sick of Cyborg's road trip and decide to walk home through the desert. Three of the four of them can ''fly''. Raven can also teleport. To be fair, she does remember that she can do this when she teleports back into the car after Cyborg apologizes and says that he'll take them home.

** In "Halloween", Raven accidentally forced The Halloween Spirit to turn the Titans into little kids instead of being turned into cowards in a deal to make Halloween scary again.
** In "Hose Water", merely acting like a child causes the Titans to revert to eggs instead of being little kids.
* FourthDateMarriage: This almost happens between Beast Boy and Raven in "Matched", minus the dating.
* FracturedFairyTale: THREE of them in "Grube's Fairytales." Robin tries to tell the other Titans fairy tales to teach them life lessons, but they end up telling ''their own'' versions:
** "Hansel and Gretel" as told by Beast Boy and Cyborg, had Hansel (Beast Boy) and Gretel (Cyborg) kicked out of their home by their parents for eating all the food. They come across a candy house and the Candy Witch (Robin) who wants to secretly eat the pair. But an Appetizer Witch (Raven) appears with an "Appetizer House" complete with dipping sauce fountain. Then a Meat-And-Potatoes House appears with ITS Witch (Starfire). While the Witches argue over who has dibs on Hansel and Gretel, the siblings devour all three Houses. They then roll away after their "three-course meal," leaving the Witches to lament that they've literally "been eaten out of House and Home." The Moral? "Don't make your house out of food, because that's dumb."
** "Rapunzel" gets told by Raven, where instead of hair flowing to the ground from a tower, it's Rapunzel's (Raven) fingernails. Deciding to escape herself, she cuts the nails and fashions them into FemmeFatalons, and uses them to scale down the tower's wall. When Robin asks for Rapunzel's hand in marriage (using a nail file in place of a ring), she shreds his clothes, declaring "No one is going to cage this bird again." Raven later said Rapunzel went onto live a life of adventure, fame and fortune (with slides of Rapunzel having slayed a dragon, her on a pirate ship with Starfire and Cyborg, the three going after a treasure-laden Jinx, and her being interviewed by Darkseid holding her book). The Moral? "Forget boys, get paid."
** "Little Red Riding Hood" gets told by Starfire, where Red (Starfire) has a Tamaranian appetite, and initially ate the basket of goodies meant for Grandmother. She then comes across the Wolf (Robin), who tries to trick her into being eaten. But Starfire ''eats him whole'' instead, and spits out his coat. She suddenly spies his cubs (Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven) who wonder where their father is (as he was supposed to bring medicine for their mother). [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone She realizes]] the horrible things she just did, and tries to pose as the Wolf using the jacket. While they are fooled despite the differences (long eyelashes, small nose and tiny teeth) Red suggests they eat a "tasty grandmother" she will take them too (and the last scene is them happily nibbling on Grandmother). The Moral here? "If you consume the wolf, you must adopt his identity and raise his family as your own."
** Robin bemoans he failed to teach them anything, but the others disagree. "Hansel and Gretel" taught them to eat proper meals, "Rapunzel" taught them the value of independence, while "Little Red Riding Hood" taught them to take responsibility for their actions. But the most important thing? That Robin wins "man diapers." Causing him to shed a tear as the others laugh.

** In "Meatball Party", when the Titans take Raven to the dentist to get her tooth sealed, they don't notice the tooth demon attacking the dentist and his assistant due to the room being soundproofed. Eventually, the demon throws the dentist through the window.
** In "Colors of Raven", when the Titans come home after failing to stop an alien robot, said robot can be seen in the background of the next scene destroying the city.
** In "Man Person", when Beast Boy is hooked up to an I.V. drip, the I.V. bag is labeled "tofu".

** At the end of "Orangins", it's revealed that Beast Boy is green because all this time he was a Franchise/GreenLantern construct created by John Stewart.

** In "Dreams", Robin's dream is essentially an edited gag dub of ''Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo'' which paints him as a badass who gets the girl.

* GibberishOfLove: In "The Date", Robin chokes up when he tries to ask Starfire out. She thinks he's playing a game with her and starts babbling too.

* GirlsNightOutEpisode: "Girl's Night Out".
* GirlsWithMoustaches: In "La Larva Amor", Raven gets in a milk mustache contest and goes through several mustache and beard styles.
* GoKartingWithBowser: In "Girls Night Out", Starfire and Raven break Jinx out of prison to go for a night on the town. This is just the first of several such girls nights the show has done.

* GratuitousSpanish: While practicing ways to ask Starfire out on a date, Robin pulls his cape around himself and says "Hola, Starfirè".

* GuiltByAssociation: In "Hey You, Don't Forget Me in Your Memory", the Titans all get detention and eventual expulsion because of something ''Robin'' did, which didn't involve them at all.
* HalloweenEpisode: "Halloween", "Scary Figure Dance", "Halloween vs. Christmas", and of course, "Costume Contest".
* HandOrObjectUnderwear: In "Laundry Day", Starfire, Robin, and Beast Boy are conveniently holding Silkie, a clipboard, and a bowl of popcorn respectively when Raven snatches their clothes.
* HandWave: In "Salty Codgers" when Old Cyborg somehow has grandchildren:

* HappyBirthdayToYou: In "[=BBBirthday=]", Robin makes it a priority that the birthday song can never be sung because they can't afford the rights to sing it. The episode was created and aired 2 weeks before it was legally ruled in the public domain. In "BBSFBDAY!", they sing the birthday song 3 times in a row.

* HearingVoices: Happens to Robin in "The Date", complete with [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] how crazy it is. [[spoiler:The voice goes out with Starfire in the end.]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In "Caged Tiger", Dr. Light almost turns good after a day out with Raven and Starfire while the other Titans are trapped in an elevator, but moments before he can affirm it, they finally arrive and beat him to a pulp.
* HeightInsult: Robin is sometimes teased for [[TeensAreShort his supposedly short stature]] (despite the fact that [[InformedDeformity he's the third-tallest member of the group]]), especially in Season 2. In "Cool School", for example, Rose calls Robin short and [[HarshWordImpact the impact of her words literally injures him, so much that he falls over]].

* HeroicComedicSociopath: In "Breakfast Cheese", the Titans begin using an absurd degree of force, including beating the H.I.V.E. into unconsciousness for loitering.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In "Dog Hand", Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg use the gifts Trigon gave them to beat him. Likewise Raven uses her newfound power that was recently taught to her by him to send him back to his dimension. The only exception is Starfire who, with the power to speak (and act) like an Earth teen, simply stands by and texts on her smartphone.
* HolidayEpisode: There's a Daylight Savings episode where the Titans rescue the skipped-over hour from a farmer, as well as a few Thanksgiving episodes.
* HotterAndSexier: The episode "Legs".

* HumanResources: Mother Mae Eye makes pie out of people in "Pie Bros".

** In "The Left Leg", Cyborg builds a giant robot that requires the Titans' to pilot each limb. They later fight Gizmo and army of giant robots.

*** Then in a later episode when Pain Bot cuts slices of pepperoni on BB's pizza slice, he says he doesn't want it ''because'' he was a vegetarian.
** In "The Return of Slade", Raven yells at Beast Boy and Cyborg for still liking clowns because clowns are for kids. Cyborg and Beast Boy point out to Raven that she is a fan of the children's show Pretty Pretty Pegasus, to which Raven replies is "different".

* HypotheticalFightDebate: When Beast Boy is grilling Cyborg's magic double, he asks who would in a fight: a ninja or a merman. The answer: [[InsaneTrollLogic Neither. Being natural allies, they would team up to defeat the evil kung fu bird people.]]

* NinetyPercentOfYourBrain: "Brain Percentages" pokes fun at this trope while still focusing around it. The standard "You only use 10% of your brain" addage is brought up, but Cyborg immediately points out that people are using all of their brain at all times, even when sleeping (which science has proven), and states the "10%" thing is just used by the media for storytelling purposes. The other Titans dismiss it anyway for the sake of [[InvokedTrope Beastboy getting smarter and using more than 10% of his brain for storytelling purposes]].
* AccidentalAstronaut: Subverted during the "Island Adventures" mini-arc. In a parody of ''Series/GilligansIsland'', the Titans build a rocket to escape from the island after finding barrels of rocket fuel scattered around the area. Beastboy decided to make lunch for the Titans, but in his stupidity, hits the "Launch" button before anyone has a chance to board. The rocket takes off and quickly explodes, much to the relief of everyone upon realizing it would've killed them.

* CarRideGames: In "Road Trip," the Titans try to pass the time by playing "I Spy" and "Slug Bug." Starfire needs to be explained what Slug Bug is, so every time she sees an insect of some sort, she punches Beastboy. After being bruised enough, he questions why there are so many bugs on the road.

* PredatorPastiche: One episode has the Alien Skull Hunter, who initially hunts down the Titans with the intent of collecting their skulls as a reward of the hunt, but he turns out to be a pretty nice guy who gets along with the Titans once they offer him some coconut curry. By the time he has to leave, he's built a strong bond of friendship with Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beastboy. He still added Robin's skull to his collection though.

** "Teen Titans Roar", the {{crossover}} with ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar'', starts with the Titans getting excited for the new cartoon because the original ''[[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985 ThunderCats]]'' formed their childhoods. Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Beastboy all start frothing at the mouth about how horrible the animation style and bean-shaped mouths and how DenserAndWackier everything is. Starfire has no knowledge of the original, and thinks the new one is fine on its own. After a petition to remove the show is laughed at, Raven uses her magic to take everyone to meet the new Thundercats so they can tell them what they think. It's only the direct confirmation from the original Lion-O (voiced by Larry Kenney no less) approving of the new cartoon that the Titans learn to accept it. Meanwhile, the [[WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011 2011 Lion-O is intentionally ignored]]. The ''Teen Titans Go!'' creators are more than fully aware of this exact situation, because the show got pandered for the exact same reason, so they of all people would be best suited to parody the issue.

** Beastboy's weakness are animal cones that help prevent them from biting themselves

** Everybody is subjected to this some way or another, [[{{Slapstick}} even Raven and Starfire]]. Robin easily gets [[TheChewToy the worst of it]] though, as evidenced in "Little Buddies."

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: To a slightly lesser degree, but Starfire and Raven meet their fair share of abuse, too.
** Beast Boy once became a T-Rex and outright chewed Jinx into submission.

''Teen Titans Go!'' is a Creator/CartoonNetwork animated television series based on the Creator/DCComics series, ''ComicBook/TeenTitans''. More specifically, it is a quasi-SpinOff of the previous 2003 ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' series, though it takes more direct inspiration from the ''[[WesternAnimation/DCNation New Teen Titans]]'' shorts that were also based on that incarnation. The main cast, as well as most of the supporting cast, reprise their respective roles from both productions. Aaron Horvath (''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'') and Michael Jelenic (''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'') serve as showrunners.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: In "Gorilla", Beast Boy defeats Robin and declares himself team leader. To become leader again, Robin has to beat him.

** Robin and Starfire get in on this, which has also been carried over from the other series. Only this time it's decidedly one-sided; a couple of the plots revolve more around Robin trying to show his affection for Starfire, who seems to be particularly [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]] to his actions this time around. One episode even has [[spoiler: Robin stealing Speedy's look and costume so that he'll make sure Speedy looks bad and so she'll be with Robin. When Robin finally comes clean due to that voice in his head nagging him. Upset doesn't come close to describing Starfire's attitude to him, [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom and Robin gets his comeuppance.]] Then she leaves with that voice mentioned earlier.]] Starfire even admits that she loves him like a sibling and nothing more. Despite Robin's future repeated, if not forced attempts to get with her, it's official that [[ShipSinking this ship has been sunk.]] Although, DependingOnTheWriter, the ship may not be TOTALLY dead, as some episodes have shown that Starfire may like Robin romantically after all.

** Raven as Lady Legasus. [[ShesGotLegs She has legs]] [[MaleGaze and knows how to use them]].

* ShesGotLegs:
** Anytime Raven takes on the form of Lady Legasus.
** In "Two Parter: Part One", the Titans decide to don costumes of the members of the Justice League in order to fool a robot that is searching for intruders. The disguises don't work for anyone except for Raven, who was dressed as Wonder Woman. When she asked the robot what made it sure she was Wonder Woman, it responded "Dem Legs."

* [[invoked]] CriticalResearchFailure: Intentionally lampshaded and mocked in the episode "Oil Drums" which says that not watching enough TV rots your brain, when in reality it's watching ''too much'' TV that rots your mind.

The series premiered on April 23, 2013 alongside ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'', replacing ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' on Cartoon Network's DC Nation block, though it proved successful enough to receive a primetime slot in addition to its Saturday morning one. Following DC Nation's cancellation [[note]]though by that point, ''Beware the Batman'' was cancelled, with ''Teen Titans Go!'' being the sole show running on the block[[/note]], ''Teen Titans Go!'' was integrated into the regular Cartoon Network lineup, becoming one of, if not, the most popular series on the network. This, however, would lead to it being [[AdoredByTheNetwork/TeenTitansGo milked by Cartoon Network]] several times. In early 2021, it was announced the series would be getting its own spinoff, ''The Night Begins to Shine,'' based off of the episode "40%, 40%, 20%", and its subsequent two-sequel miniseries. The series has its own host of tie-in media including:

** In "TTG v. PPG", when the Powerpuff Girls arrive at Titans Tower, Raven is the the one who interacts with Bubbles first. [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls In the original version]] of ''The Powerpuff Girls'', Tara Strong was the one who voiced Bubbles. The same episode includes a joke that works as an allusion in the Italian dub: when the Titans disguise themselves as the PPG, Raven is the one dressed as Buttercup. Monica Bertolotti is the Italian voice for both Raven and Buttercup.

** Everybody is subjected to this some way or another, [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender even Raven and Starfire]]. Robin easily gets [[TheChewToy the worst of it]] though, as evidenced in "Little Buddies."

* DarkerAndEdgier: Not the show, but the concept itself is downright ''[[DeconstructiveParody destroyed]]'' in "Lets Get Serious", where the Titans, after being criticized by [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice Aqualad]], start taking themselves seriously. They all get [[Creator/RobLiefeld Leifeldian]] proportions, a LanternJawOfJustice (even Starfire and Raven), absurd facial details, large muscles, [[LargeHam hammy dialogue]], and deal with a threat from the H.I.V.E. like serious superheroes should. It eventually culminates in the overly dramatic break up of the entire team after Cyborg and Beast Boy get into an argument over juice. Even Aqualad himself wondered if they had become ''too'' serious.

* DeadpanSnarker:
** ''Raven''.
** Jinx has her moments as well

* DisneyAcidSequence:
** Pink Raven creates one of these in "Colors of Raven".
** As do Cyborg and Starfire in "Secret Garden".

** "Two Parter" ends with a scene set [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 20 years in the future]], where the now-adult Titans prank Cyborg, who has since left the team to join the Justice League. This is a nod to Cyborg becoming a major member of the Justice League during the Comicbook/{{New 52}} reboot, and Cyborg is even shown sporting his New 52 redesign during the segment.

** "The Best Robin" has Robin join forces with several other iterations of Robin, lampshading that Batman tends to go through a lot of them. The other members of "Team Robin" are [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice Tim Drake]], [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns Carrie Kelley]], and [[MindScrew Golden/Silver Age Dick]].

** One episode revolves around Beast Boy giving a blood transfusion to the other Titans to save their lives, which ends up giving them his powers. In the ''WesternAnimation/You gJustice'' cartoon, Beast Boy got his powers when he was given a life-saving blood transfusion from the shapeshifting Miss Martian.

'''Titans:''' ''({{Gasp}})'' '''[[AnythingbutThat RED TAPE!]]'''

** In "Let's Get Serious", [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice Aqualad]] gives one of these to Robin over how Robin and the other Teen Titan members don't seem to take their crime-fighting and butt-kicking seriously at all.

** "Teen Titans Roar", the {{crossover}} with ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar'', starts with the Titans getting excited for the new cartoon because the original ''[[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats ThunderCats]]'' formed their childhoods. Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Beastboy all start frothing at the mouth about how horrible the animation style and bean-shaped mouths and how DenserAndWackier everything is. Starfire has no knowledge of the original, and thinks the new one is fine on its own.

The ''Teen Titans Go!'' creators are more than fully aware of this exact situation, because the show got pandered for the exact same reason, so they of all people would be best suited to parody the issue.

** The Aqualad of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' tears into Robin over their variation of heroism, which he feels is a complete and utter mockery of what heroism ''should'' be. It doesn't help that Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven [[JerkassHasAPoint prove his point]] in the process.

* AlienLunch: "Parasite" has Starfire make a feast for the Titans using food from outer space. One dish is a worm with three mouths that screams when bitten.

* PantyShot: In "Butt Atoms" Starfire is shown to wear pink unlike in the original show. However that isn't the worst part of the episode. Not sure how that shot or the whole episode got past censors.

->''They're the Teen Titans! They're back ...somewhat! And they're totally going to save the world! ...Or something!''
-->-- Original tagline

In contrast to its {{animesque}} action/adventure predecessor, ''Teen Titans Go!'' is a DenserAndWackier and {{zany|Cartoon}} GagSeries revolving around the titular superhero team and their comedic misadventures as they mill about Jump City or hang out around Titans Tower. Oh, and fight crime if they ever feel like it. Whereas the 2003 Titans were heroes regularly looking to do good and help those in need, the ''Go!'' Titans are portrayed more like a self-absorbed group of teenagers who are often mocked by both villains and fellow heroes alike for their tendency to goof-off rather than fight crime. Think of it as being in the vein of ''Manga/RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth'' or ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'', where the idea is to take established characters and put them in increasingly outlandish situations that wouldn't be possible in their more serious, plot-driven forms. Be prepared for ''large'' doses of ComedicSociopathy and SelfDeprecation.

* BalefulPolymorph: In "Thanksgiving", Trigon tries to replace Robin's ruined turkey by magically changing Cyborg into a new turkey. Raven stops him from killing one of her friends as food. They settle on using Batman, instead.

* DancingPants: In "Laundry Day", the Titans' outfits somehow became animated by the goo from the MonsterOfTheWeek they fought. [[spoiler:They were actually animated by Raven, who cast a spell on the outfits to teach Robin a lesson in not weaseling out of laundry duty.]]
