* SurpriseCreepy: When Gimpy is training Rocko and Cal to help him win in a video game, he briefly finds Cal in the bathroom with his joystick. When Gimpy demands to know why he's wasting time, Cal just says in a ''very'' creepy way "''Hey, Guy. I'm mastering my joystick.''" Gimpy then slowly backs away from Cal. Gets even creepier when you realize this is a reference to the "Gomer Pyle" suicide scene from ''Film/FullMetalJacket''.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: It's hinted that Cal has won every Risk game the clique plays despite being completely oblivious to the rules. Rocko always gets eliminated early, which results in Nitz and Gimpy focusing entirely on each other as Cal is no threat -- this always escalates to Gimpy getting so worked up he uses [[TakingYouWithMe Kamikaze attacks]] which leaves both their armies so decimated that Cal is the only one left who possibly ''can'' win.

* AllWomenAreLustful: At least as far as Cal is concerned, as any woman will drop everything and anything for a chance to sleep with him. Only Jessie and Kimmy seem to be immune to this.



* ChildhoodFriends: The opening shows that Nitz, Gimpy, Rocko, and Cal have all been friends since they were infants.

* FanserviceExtra: Basically every girl that Cal hooks up with is a bombshell, and very few of them have names, many lines of dialogue, or character traits beyond "wants to sleep with Cal".

* LikesOlderWomen: Cal not only attracts women of his age, but older too. Rita (who is implied to be quite a bit older) is instantly attracted to him and when Rocko brings Cal to his fraternity, one of the students mentioned that his mother is putting the moves on Cal.

Several characters have giant heads (Nitz, Gimpy, Kimmy), while others are more-or-less realistically-proportioned (most background characters).

* OlderThanTheyLook: Rita the RA doesn't look that much older than the students she looks over, but she mentions that her "feminine troubles" stopped a long time ago, hinting that she's quite a bit older than the students.



* VirginityMakesYouStupid: Kimmy and Charity (Rocko's girlfriend during "Virgins"). Nitz briefly, if only because he got obsessed with the idea after Jessy told him you can tell if someone's a virgin just by looking at them. He snaps out of it by the end of the episode.
