13	%%* AreWeThereYet: Calvin does this to Chill.
14	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: A gag of the aliens destroying Calvin's mom's antiques starts out reasonable enough, but ends with a clock worth about 50 bucks. She reacts exactly the same.

31	* ComedicSociopathy: Calvin slams the door shut on Rupert's foot.
32	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The first two trials - eating a bunch of stale Kit Kat bars and going three miles on a treadmill.

37	%%* DistressedDude: Calvin and Hobbes, though they don't seem to care.
38	* DoNotAdjustYourSet: Rupert does this to freak out Calvin, though it loses its luster when another alien exclaims "HiMom".
39	%%* DressingAsTheEnemy: Calvin and Hobbes do this in Chapter 8, though it doesn't really work.
40	* EscapePod: Discussed by Calvin, who reasons that if they ''are'' in a UFO, there must be an escape pod because "It's in the rules!"

43	'''Hobbes:''' That is such a stupid question, I refuse to answer it.
44	%%* EvilTwin: Rupert Chill makes himself out as one. (The alien Rupert Chill is an impostor.)

50	%%* GrandFinale: Until ''Retro Chill'', that is.
51	%%* HostageSituation: Calvin and Hobbes are in one.
52	* HypocriticalHumor: Calvin claims one shouldn't make fun of the Spanish, despite his doing so in ''Lost at Sea''. [[ContinuityNod Hobbes even points it out.]]

58	--> Susie was playing on the sidewalk with Mr Bun.\
59	She was performing a ritual known to us only as "THE TEA PARTY".\
60	That's not me talking by the way, Calvin slipped it in while I wasn't looking.
61	** Then there's this:
62	--> '''Calvin:''' But anyway, if this is a UFO, it has to have some kind of EscapePod or something! It's in the rules!\
63	'''Hobbes:''' It is?\
64	'''Calvin:''' Plus this chapter would be extremely boring if we just sat in a cell all day.
65	** Another one:
66	--> '''Tracer:''' Who's Earl?
67	--> '''Calvin:''' The ship captain! Didn't you know that?\
68	'''Spiff:''' Not really. He wasn't called Earl until the end of the second movie.
69	** Even later:
70	--> '''Calvin:''' Now hurry up, and go! We're running out of room for this chapter!
71	** "Nothing like a bunch of drama to get the movie going, huh Hobbes?"

74	* MoodSwinger: The Mood Swing Babbler.
75	* MotorMouth: Rupert's small rant:
76	--> "The name Calvin is a western theologion guy who believed in things I can't remember right now. and Hobbes is the same, and further more, [[RougeAnglesOfSatin you spelled 'Hobbes' H-O-B-S, when it is really spelled H-O-B-B-E-S.]] [[SmallNameBigEgo And clearly the name is Calvin and Hobbes, but someone scratched it out, and wrote, Hobbes and Calvin,]] [[BreadEggsMilkSquick plus most of these items haven't been invented yet,]] and I've looked it up, and GROSS isn't a club within any part of this immediate area!"
77	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The Goose of Death.
78	* NonverbalMiscommunication: Hobbes waves frantically to Calvin - he replies to his mother, "Hobbes says hi."

84	%%* SanitySlippage: Chill.
85	* ShoutOut:
86	** Calvin describes Rupert as a demented WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob\|SquarePants}}.
87	** Then there's this:
88	--->'''Calvin:''' OK. You've reminded me of that scene in that stupid ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' movie, and all at once, I've lost interest. Thanks a lot.

92	* TakeOverTheWorld: Rupert and Earl manage to achieve this.
93	* TemptingFate:
94	--> '''Stupendous Man:''' At least they can't get me up here!\
95	''(the brainwashed Mom floats up on a rocket scooter)''\
96	'''Stupendous Man:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why did I say that?]]
97	%%* WeakenedByTheLight: The Shadowfax.
98	* WeaksauceWeakness: One can stop brainwashing by splashing the affected with water.
99	* WeWillMeetAgain: '''''"I'LL BE BACK, CHILD! COUNT ON IT!"''''''

102	%%* WolverineClaws: The monster.
103	* YouWontLikeHowITaste:
104	--> '''Calvin:''' Did I mention that I taste terrible? Awful! You don't want to eat me! I'll give you indigestion! I'll make Heart Burn! Terrible heart burn! And did I mention the indigestion? WHOO HOO! Not even alka-seltzer could break me up! I mean we're talking about...

107	[[folder: Tropes for the rewrite]]
108	%%* AlliterativeTitle: All the chapter titles.
109	* BirthdayEpisode: Calvin's first birthday since he got rid of the FloatingTimeline back in ''Fanfic/TheCollective'' and thus, his first one to subvert the AgelessBirthdayEpisode trope since he turned six, occurs during the fic.
110	* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Good '''grief''' yes.'' For one thing, [[spoiler: Human!Rupert's character]] has been completely revamped from a wacky Creator/JimCarrey knockoff to a grim ShellShockedVeteran with a downright ''tragic'' backstory. His kidnapping of Calvin and Hobbes is a much more serious affair here, as everyone reacts to it appropriately.
