44	[[AC:General]]
45	* ADayInTheLimelight: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W92iX5q-24 Extreme Spicy Noodle Challenge]] is only done by Ryan's parents. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since too much spicy food can be harmful to a young child's health.
46	* AnthropomorphicAnimalAdaptation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPxnMeS2UjA "Daddy the Bunny"]] is simply a retelling of how Ryan's parents met, set in a {{World Of Funny Animal\|s}} rabbits.
47	* BeYourself: The lesson of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPxnMeS2UjA "Daddy the Bunny"]], in which Daddy and Mommy are made fun of, because the former is a video game and anime {{Geek}} and the latter has [[MultipleTailedBeast two tails]] that glows in the sun.
48	* BumblingDad: When it comes to trivia challenges, Daddy gets a lot of the answers wrong.
49	* CaptainErsatz: Ryan does not meet VideoGame/PacMan in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byLhJ46QoUA "Pac-Man in Real Life meets Ryan!!!!"]]. He meets Gus the Gummy Gator's head who resembles Pac-Man.
50	* CheerfulChild: Ryan is often this. Just look at a random video and you'll see.
51	* DefangedHorrors: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4UcvFUnIsc DO NOT MAKE FLUFFY SLIME AT 3am or 3pm!]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0uEy4QgjVU Do not spin a fidget spinner at 3am or 3pm!]][[note]]Both are based on the 3 AM legend[[/note]], with an obviously fake BedsheetGhost in former and Tyrannosaurus Rex in the latter.
52	* DistressedDude: Dad in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKK_r309RRA Ryan saves daddy with magical wand]]
53	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Just compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVwSJ9q3kOc the first video]], along with some other early videos, to the recent videos. You'll see that the production and effort put into the videos have improved A LOT.
54	* {{Edutainment}}: Some of the videos are meant to educate children about various things. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QVWXuLhlGM An example involving learning Spanish and Japanese with animals.]]

56	* FingerMuzzle: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Dr. Ion does this]] to [[ButtMonkey Peck]] after the latter asks a question in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlyQ8LovhnM Learn About Constellations]]".
57	* KidHero: Ryan is this in some of the playtime videos and all of the animations.
58	* LargeHam: Mommy uses her loud yet sugary voice a lot, particularly when it comes to hosting the challenges and games.
59	* MallSanta: Ryan meets one at Disney World in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1wsLarR8DE Ryan and Babies first time meeting the real Santa Claus at Disney]].[[note]]The reason the title says that the Santa Claus is real, because Ryan's a kid and he doesn't know much.[[/note]]
60	* MrImagination: This is natural to any child, including Ryan. He expresses this in some videos, which makes them come to real life with special effects.
61	* NowBuyTheMerchandise: Ever since Ryan [=ToysReview=] got his own toyline, the franchise, ''Ryan's World'', has been doing this.
62	* {{Phonýmon}}: The beginning of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1LQiLx_Zl0 Ryan open RARE POKEMON CARDS with Family!!]]" has Combo Panda open a pack of Pokemon cards, with the one card he picks being "Ryanchu", a fusion of Ryan and Pikachu.

64	* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: At the end of every video, Ryan will ask the viewer to subscribe to his channel "for more videos".
65	* ProductPlacement: Since this is a successful toy review channel, expect some videos to be toy commercials paid by the toy manufacturers.
66	* PublicDomainSoundtrack: All of the videos, including the SpinOff channels, use royalty free music. They even cover up the game audio during LetsPlay videos.
67	* RedSockRuinsTheLaundry: The video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AGILRzyboo How to Tie-Dye with Marker on Clothes with Ryan's World!]]" focuses on how red clothes make white clothes pink when washed, and how to tie-die clothing.

75
76	[[AC:Let's Play]]

86	* AnimalsNotToScale: The [=VTubers=] aren't exactly realistically sized in comparison to one another. The most exaggerated example is Packrat being about one-foot tall, which is very large for a hamster in real life.
87	* ChristmasEpisode: "Ryan Helps Santa Delivering Presents"
88	* {{Crossdresser}}: PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7lXHEvBles&list=PLasCX3wfxLR3v2wHn1yIUezAaW2KVsBXn&index=2 "Ryan Kids Halloween Trick or Treat to the Haunted House"]], with Moe dressed up as a fairy
