10	!!Tropes include:
11
12	* ArtEvolution: The series' production quality gets a bit better in the later episodes, compared to the very limited animation in the early ones.
13	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Waterman and Roy-Bot.
14	* {{Crossover}}: The characters from ''Waterman'' appeared in one episode of ''WebAnimation/BonusStage''.
15	* CurseCutShort: Waterman almost tells his audience to take it up the ass before he is interrupted by the short film he found in his closet in ''Watergent''.
16	%%* CutawayGag: In very similar fashion to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' to boot.
17	%%* TheDitz: Pretty much everyone, really.
18	%%* DrivesLikeCrazy: Roy-Bot.
19	* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Episode VIII, including Music/ReelBigFish and the Donkster of the Deep.
20	* FakeBand: 16 Buttons of Justice.
21	* FiveTokenBand: In the pingpong tournament episode. Lampshaded when Waterman asks where the member with [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers the power of heart]] is.
22	%%* FunnyAnimal: Mr. Dillo.
23	%%* InverseNinjaLaw
24	* LimitedAnimation: Being a Flash web series from the early 2000s, this is to be expected.

26	* TheMovie: ''The Waterman Movie''.
27	* {{Retraux}}: The strange film Waterman finds in his closet that his relatives made in ''Watergent'', done in a classic nineteen twenties style.

29	%%* ShoutOut: In spades.
