* MotorMouth: Polly [=McShane=].

* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList: Freddie once accidentally brought his mom's grocery list to school, rather than his homework, and didn't realize his mistake until Miss Graves started to read it out loud in front of the class.
* PlagiarismInFiction: Vinnie Nasta made a habit of presenting his big brother Tony's reports as his own but the teacher always remembers having already evaluated them back when Tony was her student. One time included a contest entry, which Vinnie checked to be sure Tony wasn't her student back then. She was a juror for the contest.

* DoubleEntendre: In one episode, as a sly prank Vinnie tries to pull on Ms. Graves during art class, he draws a picture of "two mountain peaks" that we never see, but we hear that they are pink, and unlike anyone else especially Mr. Besser, Ms. Graves when first seeing them immediately gets the idea that the two pink mountain peaks are hinting other, inappropiate thing. Her patience gets less to the point of eventually taking action as it gets circulated even to the point of going in a picture frame and being hung in the school hall. Mrs. Graves calls Vinnie's parents, and his mother punishes him for doing that picture. There is even one point while Vinnie gets sent to the principal's office for his drawing, and right in front of Ms. Graves who gets even more annoyed with him, he makes a remark about how he was thinking of also making a painting about a bakery called "two buns." For supposing to be a kids' show, the episode this happens on (which is "By Invitation Only") appears to be the only episode where there appears to be any DoubleEntendre jokes involved in the content.
** There may only be an exception with a potential DoubleEntendre joke in the episode "Bing, Bing, Bing, and a Shot" where in the doctor's office, Jesse and Mrs. Myerson briefly interact and he misunderstands what she is telling him. Jesse was on his underwear, and uses a newspaper to cover himself where Mrs. Myerson enters the office, then she starts talking probably about something in the newspaper, but due to the way she points at Jesse, he thinks she was talking about a certain part of his body, in a way that could be considered InnocentInnuendo, or even GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

* MostAnnoyingSound: YOH-DAH-LEE-OOH! (Polly's yodel that precedes her arrival)

* MotorMouth: Polly McShane.

An obscure American cartoon series, based on the children's book "Gracie Graves and the Kids from Room 402", is about schoolchildren and the school they attend. The main characters are, as the title suggests, the problematic and mischevious students at Room 402. Their teacher is Gracie Graves. The series aired in the United States on Fox Family, in Canada on Teletoon and in Latin America and Europe on Fox Kids/Jetix.

* ShoutOut: In one episode, Jesse was forced to wear glasses that actually damaged his eyesight. (He had a cheat sheet but failed to notice the doctor asked him to read the second line instead of the first one) The episode was titled "Jesse [[MrMagoo Magoo]]".

* DistractedByTheSexy: When Nancy learns that her school Project partner Jordan is SecretlyWealthy, she's so impressed by Jordan's mansion and valuable objects she barely does anything regarding the project, which gives her an excuse to visit Jordan more times.

** Nancy Francis could also be considered to be in similar ways, but more because of how much she always ends up falling victim to Polly McShane. Of course, anybody under Polly is.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Polly McShane.

* VerySpecialEpisode: ''It Takes Your Breath Away'', deals with Nancy being diagnosed with asthma, and going with a non-professional doctor who gives her a "miracle cure" for it. This leads to Nancy having an asthma attack in front of all her classmates, and afterwards Nancy decides to deal with her asthma after some of the other kids from the class reveal they have also had medical problems, some worse than Nancy's.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It seems the series was more popular in European countries, as it continued to be broadcast on their local Jetix channels for most of the 2000s, and more European language episodes can be found online than English ones.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Vinnie and Miss Graves are [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} T.J. and Miss Finster]], respectively.
** Miss Graves is also recognizably Peg Pete from the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' series. The same is true about Mrs. Myerson from one episode (which was "Bing, Bing, Bing, and a Shot") who only makes a couple of cameos and only says a few lines. From the few lines she ever does say, she is the same voice as these other characters but with a slightly different manner than how Ms. Graves sounds. They both sound completely identical to Peg Pete in the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' series, though. Just in very slightly different ways.
** Also, Nancy is Velma Dinkley from the latest animated films of Scooby Doo, respectively.
** Vinnie is very recognizable to his voice actor during the same era who was in movies like Bean, Jack Frost, and The Other Me.
** Jesse's mom's voice is definitely recognizable to a number of other real and voiced characters from other films.
** The doctor who vaccinates Jesse in one episode (which was "Bing, Bing, Bing, and a Shot") is potentially recognizable to a number of real and voiced characters from other films. As a hint, he did the voice of Bando in Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco.
** Mr. Miller who was a pool official in one episode (which was "Squeezed Out") who made a couple of cameos is also very recognizable of someone who has been very famous for making and acting in his own spoofs. As a hint, he did the voice of Bigweld in Robots.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The series stopped airing in the United States after Disney bought Fox Family and renamed it ABC Family, and it has never received any home video releases. Some English episodes can be found on the Internet, while most (if not all) of them are available there too, but in European languages such as Polish, Romanian or Russian.

* DoubleEntendre: In one episode, as a sly prank Vinnie tries to pull on Ms. Graves during art class, he draws a picture of "two mountain peaks" that we never see, but we hear that they are pink, and unlike anyone else especially Mr. Besser, Ms. Graves when first seeing them immediately gets the idea that the two pink mountain peaks are hinting other, inappropiate thing.

** There may only be an exception with a potential DoubleEntendre joke in the episode "Bing, Bing, Bing, and a Shot" where in the doctor's office, Jesse and Mrs. Myerson briefly interact and he misunderstands what she is telling him, and whatever she was pointing out (because Jesse was holding a newspaper to hide his underwear exposure), it could be considered InnocentInnuendo, or even GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

** In the episode "Over the River and Through the Swamp", Vinnie asks the pregnant music teacher to tell them where babies come from, but she just gets a blank stare and continues as if that didn't happen. Moments later, she goes into labor, causing most of the kids to run off the classroom nervously, but Vinnie just says enthusiastically: "So we're now really going to learn where babies come from!". But that doesn't happen, as the teacher is sent to the hospital and Miss Graves announces the birth of the music teacher's daughter the next day. When Vinnie raises his hand to ask Miss Graves about that question, she straightly tells Vinnie that if he continues to ask that, she will call the principal.

** Freddie (the class nerd) thinks he has seen the film and starts describing it to the other boys: "It was about a kid named Kevin, who was around 12, and who one day woke up and looked under his covers to see...that his legs had became green and was turning into an alien!" Vinnie promptly corrects him (the movie Freddie had seen was called ''Kevin goes to Mars'') and tells him that it isn't the way their bodies will change. During the actual film, both Freddie and his father seem embarrassed by it, covering their ears at certain points.

* ButtMonkey: In a matter of speaking, Jesse McCoy and Vinnie Nasta could consider to be. Basically because they always try to pull pranks that end up backfiring on them in the end, often making them face worse consequences for it than what they tried to evade.

* FowlMouthedParrot: Averted. When Jesse and Vinny taught insults to a parrot, Jesse suggested teaching curse words but that was as close as the trope came to being played in the cartoon.

** Freddie (the class nerd) thinks he has seen the film and starts describing it to the other boys: "It was about a kid named Kevin, who was around 12, and who one day woke up and looked under his covers to see...that his legs had became green and was turning into an alien!"

** Vinny is very recognizable to his voice actor during the same era who was in movies like Bean, Jack Frost, and The Other Me.

When Vinnie raises her hand to ask Miss Graves about that question, she straightly tells Vinnie that if he continues to ask that, she will call the principal.

** Jesse brags to his friends that he already knows everything about reproduction since he was 7 and that his parents are now the ones who have questions. These are all {{BlatantLies}}.

** The film is shown separately to boys and girls, in different classrooms, and accompanied by their fathers/mothers and Mr. Besser/Nurse Pitts respectively, but Jesse's father couldn't come so his amazingly embarrassing mother accompanies him instead, and at one point, when the film (off-screen) shows the figure of a female body, she covers Jesse's eyes, preventing him from seeing most of the film. Also, it is hinted that Mr. Besser doesn't know much about the topic of the film, as he thanks Jesse's mother for explaining something about females which we don't hear.

* InnocentInnuendo: This may be the case with what Mrs. Myerson with her all time brief cameos says to Jesse when she encounters him in the doctor's office wearing nothing but his tighty whities trying to cover himself with a newspaper. It appears that she was remarking on a picture in the newspaper he was covering himself with, while he thought she was pointing out something to do with him because of what state she catches him in. Nothing is ever clarified, though, with what she was talking about and what he thought she meant concerning what she sees and having a shot.

* NotInFrontOfTheParrot: Jesse and Vinny once taught a parrot to say rude things as part of a prank. Unfortunately, for them, the parrot heard them using their names while discussing ideas.
* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList: Freddy once accidentally brought his mom's grocery list to school, rather than his homework, and didn't realize his mistake until Miss Graves started to read it out loud in front of the class.

* MotorMouth: Polly Mcshane.

*** However, there is an ''entire episode'' which can be considered this, since its main plot involves the class watching a film about puberty and reproduction called "Your Body Is Changing", although nothing graphic is shown, it's still a topic that [[WesternAnimation/{{AsToldbyGinger}} almost]] no cartoon targeted at children ever addresses.

This cartoon, based on "Gracie Graves and the Kids from Room 402", is about schoolchildren and the school they attend. The main characters are, as the title suggests, the students at Room 402. Their teacher is Gracie Graves.

* EverythingsSpoonierWithSpoons: Polly is an immigrant who is completely obsessed with spoons. She's got a spoon collection, and makes a spoon exhibition for the science fair. She once started a spoon hospital.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Polly Mcshane.

* ExactWords: Nancy promised not to tell anyone Jordan is wealthy. However, she didn't promise not to tell she (Nancy) has a wealthy friend.

* InnocentInnuendo: This may be the case with what Mrs. Myerson with her all time brief cameos says to Jesse when she encounters him stripped down in the doctor's office trying to cover himself with a newspaper. It appears that she was remarking on a picture in the newspaper he was covering himself with, while he thought she was pointing out something to do with him because of what state she catches him in. Nothing is ever clarified, though, with what she was talking about and what he thought she meant concerning what she sees and having a shot.

* AskAStupidQuestion: Polly does this in one episode. In the episode called "The Election Show", she ends up being the only candidate in position running for school president. Just after her long and grueling debate which Ms. Graves finally steps in and declares it over, in class in the next scene, Ms. Graves is about to announce the winner. Polly tells her to hurry up and announce the results because she can't take it any longer, and Ms. Graves says to her "What are you so nervous about, you're the only one running." With that as a fact, Polly asks her "So, who won?", making Ms. Graves having to respond with "You."

** Mr. Miller who was a pool official in one episode (which was "Squeezed Out") who made a couple of cameos is also very recognizable of someone who has been very famous for making and acting in spoofs. As a hint, he did the voice of Bigweld in Robots.
